This post has been long overdue, but i've had alot on my mind lately and havent had the time to put it together. Once again i had the time of my life, and cant wait to go back in May. This time with the Missus, so i she wont be as afraid while i'm gone!

I highly recomend the trip!

Huge thanks to Karl for organising it once again, lets hope we can get this May trip sorted so it's as smooth as the last two!

And here's the pics :)

5 of the 6 Nova's that went, in the pouring rain on the french border!

Me being toe'd home after a dryed up big end bearing, caused by oil surge on track, meant it wasnt a good idea to drive it 1300 miles home!

And Finally, Two awesome photos i found on www.ringphotos.com of me racing round the track :) both of which i've ordered for my room :)

Chris
08-10-05, 12:30 PM
yeah, we have got vid's from all nova's, I think infact from every car, there were two people using video camera's between the cars. Some are serious laps (i.e trying to be quick) and others are more humourous lol, they should all be uploaded in the near future.

Chris

P.S Nice pics Keith

Well the more the merrier indeed as with the amount dropping of every night on the drinking front might stand more of a chance with more going.
