AMP3 trackday - excellent!
Lee, thanks for the pax laps, much appreciated
You seemed to be getting the hang of it very quickly, presume you'll be back on before too long? I thought you were doing well for your first trackday, took me a while to work out what I was meant to be doing (not that I know now!)
Ross, no problem, you did better than my other passenger later on who wanted to come in after a few laps feeling a bit

Brian, I like your style, holding any dinner parties soon?Add my thanks for a great afternoon and regret not 'carrying on' into Edinb'gh but consolation of good dinner and Puligny Montrachet almost but not quite make up for it.......
Thanks Andy and Shug for a great afternoon
Highlights?
Following Shug who was "flowing through the twisties" until I was generating drifts I couldn't catch!!
Following Scotty (Driving Gareth's Frog) who launched into Duffus about 90 tuts, went completely sideways and forcibly over corrected the slide to set up for the next corner..............almost wet myself ,as I could see the steering movement/input involved. "it was the weight of the passenger!" a spokesperson for Mr Cruikshank stated later.
Generally seeing the level of exitement and chat generated by a whole bunch of new people enjoying KH in relative safety , although the danger of running events like this..........is you cannot just do it once and your are duly bound to provide another......at least once a year

Well done Andy and Shug, that was an excellent track session and well organised.
It was great to get a completely dry session in, and driver etiquette was as good as I have ever seen.
Sorry that I could not make the evening session, but Thor had been on his own for nine hours by the time that I got home. I was on track for almost the whole two hours, so never got chance to chat, so it would have been good to have got some crack in during the evening.
Avoided embarrassment at 1655 by running out of fuel at the Hairpin, but managed to coast in to the pits.
Hope you all had a good party.

I almost ran out of fuel - cruised down to the Shell off J3 in 5th at 60 as I had done 4 laps on flashing refill (which is 5L in an S2). I put 36L in, which is good for a 35L tank Not sure how much more fuel there can have been in the tank - 2L tops I think - must drain it and then refill with known fuel quantity to determine once and for all how much fuel there is in there!
Thanks to all for a great day out and thanks to Andy's Mum for the veggie burgers
Was good to meet a few more people - let me apologise right now for forgetting your names - I am really hopeless at remembering them, though I will probably remember your face next time I see you
Car was going well on the track - I am trying to remember the last time I was on track, and apart from Dijon in the summer I am not sure that I have been on track at all this year! Must try harder next year
Cheers,
Robin

Big thanks to everyone involved in organising this and to Andy for the party..my arm is still numb from dooking for beers
Persuaded my mum to come along not really expecting her to be up for a pax but she did 10 laps at a fairly brisk pace with no hint of a and got a grandstand view of the snot doing what it does best out of the hairpin

My heid was nippin this morning. too much red wine.Gareth wrote:Driver of the day?
There was quite a few spins down Duffus.
I'm betting lots of sore heads today.
ExigeKen got driver of the day.
Although already mentioned it should be reinforced that the Rolfe was awarded Dick of the Day. I salute you sir.
Major thanks and hearty well done to Shug and Andy, trackday was superb and the party was an absolute riot. Good times
Loved the 3 in a row charge towards the hairpin with ExigeKen on the right, Noops in the middle and cateringvan on the left!!
I think Neil shat himself when he started to drift towards the left and seen a caterham appear in the passenger window and then wiggled the rear end of his car almost taking the 2 cars out!
