I was there on the Sunday in the paddock area.

Here's some pic of thegingerninja




last minute preparations. sponge her down and a few decals that should make her faster.





thegingerninja, simon was 8th on the grid, 2nd place by the first corner, not bad hey




Try his luck on on the approach to Druids but didn't make it stick.




you can see what a 32 car grid looks like, fooking great. Real close racing some things you don't see on the telly.



I'll let simon tell you all what happen next LOL :thumbs:

While trying to have a pop for the lead - my fucking wheel nuts came loose on the nsf, had to retire!:banghead:

A real shame after going from 8th on the grid to second around the outside of Paddock Hill on lap 1. I really did wonder if I was going to make it to be honest.

Race 2 was hard work, ran 5th for half the race, manged to get to 3rd, until some tit decided to use my drivers door instead of their brake pedal to get round Clearways - thanks for that! Finished 4th.

Thanks for the photo's Iain - hope you enjoyed the day, good to catch up again. I'll be racing again at Brands on May 23rd on the GP circuit, which I have never driven, so I'll sneaking in a test day!

Apologies Silver Bullet - the only reason I assumed you were next to me in the paddock with a Sunbeam is because the Sunbeam's number plate was "Silver Bullet"

!

were they freshly painted rims?

We were so busy on the TTRS and MSVT wedidnt see any other races.

[thegingerninja]

Yep, fresh paint - but we had masked off all the faced areas. It actually turned out to be incorreclty supplied wheel nuts - the taper angles didn't match the wheel. Another important lesson learnt in life!

Shimmy, were you racing in the TTRS? I know a guy (Simon Glen) who was driving an E30 M3 in those races.
