No takers on here for this? After the last reports, I was going to give it a miss - but when Brunty cancelled his, I booked on to get another fix.
Good way to celebrate the start of the Glasgow Fair weekend? Will delay the usual way of celebrating (getting totally legless
) until I get home around 9.00pm, negotiating carefully around the drunks in the gutters, but who said being a petrol head was easy

Can't do it, but am hoping to book in for the 23/8 Dreadnought night... last one of the year for them. Just waiting on Granma to confirm she'll watch the sprogs...
Was hoping to do the HM night on 17/8 or the AROC night on 24/8 but the wife has put a spanner in the works for both of them
... so the last Dreanought one is my banker.

I did say I would go to the Edinbeers but if my bank balance can't take that kind of a hammering I might be up on track instead.

I'll be on track, but 400 miles further south

That was wet and then - very wet. Wet was fine and fun and the R888s were great but when it got very wet after several lock ups and two cars spinning right in front of me, I called it a night!
Kevin, saw you kept going - and weren't you on 048s?

I was on 048s but newish ones with plenty of tread. I found the grip level to be pretty good in general - only a couple of very short aquaplaning moments at the entrance to Duffus
and the exit of Clarkes.
As you will have noticed I was lapping pretty slowly. I really don't feel confident in the wet - I need to find some way of disabling my misprogrammed self-preservation instinct which automatically has me back-off when the tail starts to step out - with the predictable result
For some reason this doesn't seem to happen in snowy carparks
or on the Playstation.
Hints anyone ?
