Had a fantastic evening yesterday - a very well organised event and a great introduction to what track days are about.

Even the rain held off until the journey home [:(]

Thanks to Duncan and the other Big Power guys [Y]

Dibs [H]

Glad you enjoyed it - we spent a lot of time organising it and thinking back to our first track days to work out what would be the 'best' way to introduce the circuit.  We decided that driving around the track and getting out and chatting at the corners about braking, turning, apex points etc would help calm the nerves and give the most info.

I know Rachel enjoyed opening mine out on the straights but didnt push it through the corners (sorry if we held anyone up) but was holding the lines pretty well.  Once the driving lines are right then the speed will come (or it would if I gave her another chance to drive the car on track [:D] )

For me, it was a frustrating evening cos I just wanted to be out there driving but so pleased that we had so many virgins out there and hopefully we have broken down the fear of track days for them and whetted their appetite for more [:D]

I'm glad that rain held off too - it was horrendous driving home in that  [:S]

A big thank you for organising the event. I really enjoyed it. I found it to be a very professional night. The driving round the track chatting about the corners really settled my nerves.

Once i got started I found all the nerves had gone.  Did not realise it would as physically hard as that.

I can see myself doing more track days. Of course they will be big power days. I can see this turning into a expensive hobby.

Once again a big thnaks to you and all the big power team[Y]

from a girl that said that she didnt enjoy it at the time, she has done nothing but go on about it since and eagerly looking at pics of her on track to see what she looked like and how the lines were ..... and now she wants to do it again to get better [:o] ..... I might let her one day as long as she respects the gear change indicator [:D]
