Mako Posted September 16, 2006 Author Posted September 16, 2006 Great night. [] Weather was superb. Hot sticky tyres galore. Think I need new tyres already. That's been 2 track days and they're pretty close to being knacked[] Brian, you're more than welcome bud, as usual I wish I had more time to take folks out but I think I managed to get everyone a lap or 5. [] Didn't get many pics but hopefully Col will be around shortly with some. Some really nice bits of kit there tonight, pug 306 was mental. sequential box, it was pretty much a full on touring car. Hope someone got a pic of the mental grey Porsche thing that was there. JC, thanks for co-piloting the jallopy. hope you enjoyed yersel[] Russ
jcscoob Posted September 16, 2006 Posted September 16, 2006 Russell, no thank you for the blast it was realy good [y] need to get myself some of them brakes, didnt expect them to work as well as they do - fantastic [] BTW - didnt mind driving the suport car one little bit, i was thinking of you driving up the road in a striped out track car, you know with the climate control set to 25 the heated seats on an the crusie controle set on take me home mode - quality hearse mate !! [] Good to meet a new face (brian) and also good to meet the others. [] Ps, that "FAT PORKER" was of its nut. lol []
col666 Posted September 16, 2006 Posted September 16, 2006 aye thats the one, havent looked at my pics yet . Pretty uneventful night, no major offs but cracking weather. Ecosse peugoet 306 was seriously quick, timed him at roughly 58 sec a lap[] JC,Mako, where did you go tonight? you were behind me one minute then you dissapeared! Sammy,Higgy,Fastscoob, good to have a blether with you's. Will put a few pics up tomorrow. Col.
sheep Posted September 16, 2006 Posted September 16, 2006 Col this clip shows my mate chasing the porsche and he thinks one of his laps was about the 58 second mark. He has a lotus elise with a honda type r engine. http://video.google.co.uk/videoplay?docid=...384421698507345
Mako Posted September 16, 2006 Author Posted September 16, 2006 Col, I had to refuel the Jallopy and seeing as Drum station was shut we pulled in at Kinross. The Ecosse 306 .....58 secs[] knew it was quick, that's good going. Sheep, that RST3 porker, what can I say. stunning!!!! any info on it? Russ
st3ph3n Posted September 16, 2006 Posted September 16, 2006 Great video sheep. Tell your mate it's a GT3 though. GT2 is the one with the air intakes for the twin turbos mounted on the spoiler.

Never happen. Gus, well done mate[Y] keeping ma fingers crossed for ya. Russ
z1000 Posted September 17, 2006 Posted September 17, 2006 Defo better without the spots and it's not as though it's ever dark at a trackday anyway.
