Another great day made better with the rain staying away.

Thanks to FishyDave for the passenger rides - immense driving coupled with great car - absolutely superb !!! Definately taught me a thing or two.

Thanks to SandyTim for his efforts to help me break into the 1min 9 secs. It was hard work but it paid off in the end. Cheers!

Lots of familiar faces - Proccy, Porky, CountryCruising, HoveDan, Leighton, Nigel, Ecrab........etc....all top blokes.

Obviously as others have mentioned Nigel's cambelt going was the only bad part of the day. Really feel you Nigel - hope its not too bad on the wallet.

Oh yes , nearly forgot, two great passenger rides in SennyDave's 740i barge was a real laugh. Good driving there Dave.

Thanks for the photos Luke

You're welcome mate, pleased you enjoyed it.

Just remembered the comedy moments of peoples glasses flying off with the force of braking at the end of the main straight (including Joes). laugh

Just about everyone that drives Curborough comes away saying the same thing - ridiculously simple track to look at, but fiendishly difficult to get right (and great fun trying...)

As usual a good day, excellent value for money. Thanks to Porky Paul for organising it again. Sorry about Nigel's car.

Bit disapointed with my times, couldn't manage to get to get into the 1.07s. considering the last time in the dry I achieved 1.07.04 in a less powerful car,

It was slippier this time - definite reduction in the grip levels, especially going into the Molehill

Highlights of the day for me were cutting my times down in the 2.4 from the morning sessions at 1m 12sec to 1m 10sec in the afternoon.

Having a ride with Jonny and Dave thumb

Seeing Sean's expression when he finally beat Dave's time that he set in his own car, pmsl laugh

Getting a drive in James's and Jon's, and riding 5 up in Dave's BMW barge sick setting a 1min 15sec time shocked laugh

Downside....

Nigel loosing his engine frown

A great day at a very testing little track, you've got to get it right to get a good time.

Paul when you get a chance can you list the time sheet please smile

I have no doubt you'll give me a fair bit of competition next time Jonny. Getting the handling set up will give you more confidence to push even harder, plus you know the circuit now. smile
