Adam & I didn't make the cut.

To be honest, I was really pissed off as to how they handled this. Announcing days before exactly when the booking line was going live meant that there would be a tremendous rush & it would be booked up instantly. If they had just said it will open some time after whenever, people would have been able to find it themselves & there wouldn't have been such a scrum.

But I suppose it meant that those "Super Keenies" could all be sitting at there computers hitting refresh every second, like they were waiting for the green light :lol:

Hopefully we will get an event in before the end of the year, but a testing day at Blyton is looking like a better alternative.

We'll be back in lockdown before we get to August. After everyones gone down the pub this weekend we will get a surge in new Covid cases in two-three weeks and Matty Hand-on-cock will have us all locked up again.

Dads rebuilt engine went well but the the 32R's had gone hard and he could not put any more on in the corners.

on the plus side he was still fastest through the speed trap despite having to fight for grip out of farm house.
The track did not seem to have alot of grip people were saying it was very slippy with not being used.

Time to buy some Avons...
