Not a problem, come over and introduce yourself. Not gone stage 2 yet, have been speaking to Dan about it but not got round to organising it as yet.

I will be in the CR as the SLR has no engine and the frog isn't ready for tracking yet.

Was an interesting night, some fairly wild driving at times and some real sheds on track.

Cheers to Mass for a shot of the datalogger, unfortunately didn't manage any clear laps at all due to traffic before the brake peddle went to the floor a Duffus, brake fluid change time.

One of the sheds rolled at the bottom of Duffus late on, plus plenty of other cars were having regular trips in the kitty litter. top stuff.

Sounds like a very typical GMSC night and hence the reason I stopped doing them. Also with so many sheds it is becoming more like a Speed Sunday type of event.

Was up tonight, quite a strange mix of cars. I saw the black escort roll. He managed to start a roll at the top of dufus and roll all the way to the bottom of the slope, lucky to be unscathed really. I take it there wasn't a 'left only' passing rule? There were a few close calls out the back parts of the circuit where passing wasn't that clean.

I think i must have been very lucky with my timings didn't get caught in much traffic and although there were some idiots on the track they never caused me much concern. Had so much fun, still got a lot to learn, but many thanks to Mass and Kenny for the passenger laps and the tips all much appreciated. Don't think i would just to do another GMSC night again but certainly want to be doing a few more track days this year. :thumbsup
