There's a track day on at Knockhill on Sunday 11th Nov. :thumbsup:
I'm suppose to be stipping my car back for next season but may just have one last fling before I rip it to bits and render it unusable... anybody interested ?

All depends how much track time you want if any but if you are just coming along to spectate and say hi then it's not too important.
Most people will be standing about like frozen snotters but hopefully happy ones..:shock: :lol:

Bring some warm clothing and a good pair of boots. It's baltic at Knockhill this time of year. It's very exsposed to the elements.

This trackday was quite eventful.
I had an accident in my first race when a Nissan 200 lost control coming out of the hairpin and fish-tailed right in front of me. :shock: :doh: :cry: Both cars were badly damaged.
I had long conversation with the other driver and we were both interviewed over the radio.:director:
Having assested the damage, and with the help of Ian, Pulled the front end back out as best we could and I had two more sessions on track.

I'll post the footage up in Youtube.

On a lighter note, it was nice to meet Jim, aka jjs and his sons.
Jim and his some Ryan had track time and were driving well.
Jims lead foot had an interesting effect on his car but I'll let him explain. ;-)
Ryan had a smoother approach and held his own all day long.

It was rather eventfull, not a good one for the pulsars. Hows the car looking have you had a better look at it.
My brother (ryan) also had a little incident let his front brake pads get a tad low :lol: and the piston popped out. Managed to steal my dads pads for the drive home and got some brake fluid off another guy aswell.

I've only just found the courage to take another look in the cold light of day.
The car will be fine. Need a few parts. o/s indicator and headlight. The bumper, bonnet and wing I will be able to staighten.:doh:

I'll post pics up later, I've left my camera at work.

I've put some video footage on Youtube.

One session video take from trackside as I lick my wounds.

Sorry to hear about the damage mate. At least no one was hurt and iy should be fairly painless to fix. ;-)

More importantly though, from those video clips, it looks like you have a nice and smooth driving style there. Once you get your confidence back, I'm sure you'll be pushing a lot of people round the track.

Keep up the good work mate.
