I think it was bigger than that! :lol: Yes he's a special driver Will though! He's seriously thinking about racing a Unipower next year! :shock:

Anyone seen an entry list for Saturday? May well pop down seeing as both HRDC races are late afternoon so no need to hang around all day. 8-)

You could talk Ant Anstead into restoring your 'Errr..' while you're there!

Looking damp for Saturday, so a tiny racers dream!

Yes could have done with a bit of 'watter' on the track for sure. Nice day to be a speccy though! What happened to Colin Flynn?

I think that happened about 60 seconds after I'd pointed out to Rich that we hadn't seen an A35 fall over yet! :shock:

With the amount of them that go over I think they need to start fitting caster wheels to the roof gutters of the A30/35's :P

If the rate of rolls in "Academy" racing where repeated in any other circuit racing formula I'm sure the MSA would be asking questions about the formula regs. :o :o :o Is not an "Academy"about learning??

was a cracking day out with a proper mix of cars in our race

a real shame it didn't rain though

my only 'moment' was when a guy in a tvr jamacian decided that he could both outbrake me and take a tight line into the chicane.....

I had to take avoiding action as he span! :lol:

What a shame! That looked like a very nice car. Hopefully the driver is ok.
