[Will F]

Bet that was a handful in the wet lol

[Benn]

Did the wiper rip out of the scuttle?

[Hobbit]

No just the end snapped off, Its an odd screw type fixing so had to swap the complete arm.

Couple of pics from the on site photographer.

Moist weather is naff!

The last track day at Knockhill was damp until the late afternoon, really makes it hard work, but...still fun.

[Hobbit]

Taking Folly flat out in 5th in the wet is pretty exciting though :d

Although it did take me all day to build up to going that fast through there...

[Alex J]

big balls to rag in the wet! +rep if i can xx

[Benn]

Looks great out there, been on there in the wet was very scarey!

[Adam]

Nice pics.

Be interesting to watch that go through corners in the wet, Lol.

[Nobby]

[Mrs Hobbit]

[Benn]

Mrs H, did you not go track side? Or proper days they normally let you wander about... Time attack Astra out doing testing?

[Hobbit]

That time attack ashtray is insane! He overtook me when I was flat out and he was on a cool down lap! lol

[Benn]

Guessing new 2013 mods and set up... More power and grip...

[Mrs Hobbit]

Didn't think I'd be allowed to go track side. Did mount a fence at one point not sure that counts though lol

Hobbit thinks probably wouldn't be allowed still as it was a javalin event

[Hobbit]

My first vid is uploading to Youtube but its long tings...

Found this one though, I'm in it for the first couple of mins :)

Ah, thought it was one of Combes days, on them they let you... If not just go and ask.. Sometimes they'll let you...

[Hobbit]

Vids have started coming, First session in 2 parts.

[MK999]

That time attack ashtray is insane! He overtook me when I was flat out and he was on a cool down lap! lol

Depending on the exact class time attack is not very strict at all, pretty much anything can race which results in some fairly monstrously specced machines with very clever stuff going on :)

Benn is pro at flashing his pervy lens about and getting media vests too lol

[Hobbit]

He is the 3 times winner of the fwd drive class and this year they have forced him up to pro class to give someone else a chance to win fwd.

[MK999]

So he was actually in a restrictive-ish class and they bumped him up because he's a bit bloody quick lol

Chances are the spec of that thing is pretty impressive now then :cool:

[toymex]

Looked a bit slippery out there ,you have to have some big gonads to be quick round Coombe in the dry ,let alone the wet

[Mrs Hobbit]

Ah, thought it was one of Combes days, on them they let you... If not just go and ask.. Sometimes they'll let you...

Like the action days? Where would you normally go to ask. The media centre?

[Hobbit]

So he was actually in a restrictive-ish class and they bumped him up because he's a bit bloody quick lol

as said its an insane bit of kit, this is a vid of him doing a flying lap.

Its getting a bit dryer now and Russ had put 888's on the front. I stuck to my road tires.
