Another Great Sidc Track Day At Knockhill With Photos


Recommended Posts

Hi All

Another great SIDC Track Day today at Knockhill, went up with my mum and stepdad but stayed at the hairpin.

I took 147 and added them to my flickr page.

Spoke to Brian (rallye6), Geo, John (kebab nemeis)

Apologises to all that I missed at the pitlane as I didnt venture too far with the rain on and off.

Also apologies to Scoobyiain as I missed you when I was leaving it was my mum that noticed you waving.

Saw you in my rear view mirror after I passed.

here is a few photos

I arrived about 11:30 and it was just begining to dry up. Massive thanks to Welsho for the pax laps, had a great time and thats some machine you've built. My other half loves the look of it and said maybe next time she will go round with you.

Simmie's wagon was doing well and sounds even better. Never really recognised that many cars there today.

Welcome mate, was nice to meet you at last and glad the other half approves of the new-look :D. She's more than welcome to a few pax laps next time, glad you enjoyed it :D

Nice pics Dougie, didn't see you!

I managed to get some pics taken today. Some were a bit blurry kind, think it must have been all the excitment and the urge to hurry up and get back on track - lesson learned though, don't do photography and trackday at the same time :D:rotfl:

Nice pics mate :D The more I see the blue and orange, the more I like it :hl:

Another well organised day, once again thanks to JohnS.

Tut managed to scare the life out of me twice; once when he managed a 360 spin right in front of me coming out of Clarks, then second when he took me out for a few passenger laps just as it was drying out. Excellent chuckability his Lotus has, and Tut certainly knows how to chuck it about. Great fun.

Had my own little drama, right at the end of the day. Came out of the pits, and got as far as the hairpin when I saw smoke pouring out of my bonnet. Pulled into the pits again, marshals running over with the fire extinguishers expecting a huge engine oil fire, only to find a pin hole in the top radiator hose had sprayed coolant over the rest of the engine, hence all the smoke.

Thanks to the guys at the Legends garage who helped patch it up then refilled the system, so I could get it back home safely.

Yeah, the first time I came off when I was on track myself could be put down to the wet, and pretty much the wrong tyres for the conditions. However, the last one, was just me getting a bit too cocky. Thankfully, I ended up on the black stuff and was able to pull away without getting the recovery truck out again. A new tailpipe will be forthcoming in the next week or so :D I need new pads now too, can hear them grinding away, car is a mess with all that gravel and crap in the wheels and brakes. Will get that all cleaned up this week. Looking forward to the pics.

G.Mac: vids up soon mate :D

Some nice pics there guys.

My first trackday and what a blast I had. Car was running ok although I seem to be overboosting now and that only started happening today so I'm going to have to investigate that one before something goes wrong.

Very nice to meet some new faces today, I'll no doubt be back for some more action.

Can't wait to see this vid :D

Had a good day too although i didn't spend much time at the pits so didn't get to catch up wi most folk, mostly due to the weather and having to keep my 7 year old entertained (oh and playsatan).

I was also glad to see coulty's car make it through the day, it's going really well m8.

Had a great time yesterday once the track dried out, I was scared stiff in the wet as the suspension was set up for the dry, it was my first time out on track with the car since it went back on the road, & my first time on Knockhill for 12 years.

Thanks again Johns & some great pics everyone, roll on the 30th august. :thumbup:
