who is doing Spa 3/4 October?

[CSLut]

Spa absolutely made up for a fookin cluterf**k of a weekend at the ring.
Brilliant track, just a shame i think i was the slowest csl there:bigcry: (black 04) Never seen so many in one place either.
Spa was only possible thanks to Shimmy and Duncan pointing me in the right direction for tyres at the ring. Cheers:beer:

Fab Spa as usual. Good report from Shimmy so I won't repeat. Great to see everyone again and to meet some guys for the first time. Good company with O'Neill, Sarah, Nick and Steveo from PGT.

Had an absolute result getting 3 hours in on Monday as a bonus. Thanks to Shimmy I managed to get from 2min 57's into the 56's on regular basis and a couple for 55's in the last hour. Well chuffed with that and if I'm honest, as fast as I'd like to go for now. Finally managing to take ER at somewhere near decent pace now and definately have B2 sorted. Some excellent multi-CSL convoy laps, especially in the damp. :smokin:

No thanks at all to Shim for the 3rd gear Stavelot idea!:clown: Went a bit like this:

Alex "So, Shim, I short shift to 4th before entry to Stav. Do you do the same?"

Shim (wanker ) "Nah, I stay in 3rd"

Alex "Really!!!"

Shim (tosser :clown: ) "Yeah! Try it, it's good"

Alex (gullible fucking wanker, tosser :whistle: ) "Mmmmm, OK I'll try that"

Cue Alex leading Shimmy and O'Neill on first few laps. I try the 3rd gear Stavelot idea and get the arse end twitching like a mutha f**ker going into, round and out of Stavelot!! I look back to see Shimmy's helmet rocking with the force of his laughter. :hahaha::hahaha: Bastid!

[shimmy]

Pure bad memory I guarantee :bigcry:



I laughed even more when I was behind and I saw you run wide at B2 onto a very wet kerb, spray kicking up, and me imagining you tryin your best not to press the go faster pedal and trying to hold here straight :smokin:

And tbh it was only when I managed to concentrate and get the corner speed up that I managed to shake you in the afternoon after it amazingly dried almost to perfect.

I cant wait to do spa again now.

I reckon the X might crack under 2.50, not with me driving though:whistle:

I guess I might try CD in April or MLR in May again

New tyres a must and maybe with an instructor on hand.

Just an idea earlier this year to run something annually and give a little extra to the hospice, maybe one nights beer money!

What I've learnt - When putting new suspension on, let it settle before doing a track day, otherwise the geo will look like this.

First image when fitted, looks good. Second image done today.

Pax with Shimmy, his car felt so stable through Eau Rouge mainly due to the driver and set up, mine didn't seem to dig in like Shimmy's, but didn't feel too bad. Looking at today's before settings I can see why, 2mm toe out on the left rear and camber's all over the place. That's my excuse for being so slow :hahaha: not too bad, still under 3 mins with passenger and a bit of traffic, should go better next year :thumbs:
