2 practice runs then 2 timed runs for the competition. It was both days - a round on saturda and a round on sunday.

Took a quick shuftie through my shots and this one stood out straight away. Drew Murray with a good handful of lock, at least one wheel in the grass and one in the air.

Thanks for the photo's Noel and Chris. The hill is as scary as they

say it is, You need balls like a prize bull to run it anywhere neer the

limit. Hats of to Don for a 54 in the standard scoob, you have put some

seasoned pros in better cars to shame. My best was a 56 but need to whip

Don's @ss next time

I couldn't keep up with the 106 and the 205 in my class (they do have 30+ more bhp than me though) but I was having a not bad weekend until this happened

Doune video

I had managed a 50.46 in practice, so I was looking for a low 50 or maybe even a 49 when I tried to take junction just a bit too fast.

Thats a quick time in practice John. Did hear about your excursion hopefully there isnt much damage.

[st3ph3n]

I thought you were looking pretty quick earlier in the day John. I'd moved down to the tunnel after being up in the meadow. Got a nice shot of you going up through there then 2 seconds later I heard the almighty bang. Hope it's not too badly damaged

You weren't alone though - there was a few hitting the barrier there on Sunday afternoon. Both of the DAXs gave it a good bang and Geoff had a good spin on the way out.

OMG...i seen that happening infront of me...bad luck mate

[J.C.]

The damage is not too bad but bad enough, the front wheel was pushed back, so it has bent the lower suspension mounting point and also wrecked a wheel. It is booked in to get straightened out next week. I am hoping to have it fixed in time for Fintray.

Sorry to hear that John, hope you get it fixed in time for your next event.

Very impressive time

[mystery machine]

So are you timed only on the way up the hill, or do they time you going back Doune again?

[spooks]

Still got a few to go through but will post em on Flickr when I have time
