If anybody gets to any of the others give us a shout in the paddock. (Red 318i car 23). I enjoyed the race yesterday, and speaking to the folks watching there were good scraps for position to watch all the way down the field. And I guess the oil all round the track for the last laps made it "interesting" as well :D :D

Cheers
Brian

Good to meet you Ant, the beer went down very well, but the freezing cold in the tent in the evening didnt!!

top days racing, somehow i got through the PBMW race without finding any of the oil and in a reasonable position as well.
For some reason i was going a bit slower in the Pre-93 Touring races but wasn't too bad.
glad people enjoyed it.
come on jimmy finish that car

Didnt get any photos of the PBMW cos I sat at the front of the stands to get the best view and the camera would only focus on the fence!!! :x

I've got resized touched up versions of these images but here are the raw piccies, so you can photoshop to your own hearts content. Here are the best shots I got from the day.

Another one with some hardware in the shot, looks good if you crop it and zoom to full focus on the cars tho!

Had a great day, got there late-ish Sunday, watched some good races, had an ice cream got a decent tan and had a few beers, a great sunday!

Was a really good day, and saw some great action. I was parked up on the south bank in mine, with a mate in a E34 M5.
Had a good wander round the paddock too, but everyone looked very busy between races so I didnt want to interupt!

Yup, Mickey (brother, finished 4th) drove to the track with spare wheels tools etc in the car, removed the passenger seat (and girlfriend :roll: ), raced, then packed it all in again for the drive home. I think Andrew Partridge (2nd) also drives to and from, probably 10-15 cars or so do. I did it a few times last season but my toddler comes along now and I can't fit a baby seat in the race car :D :D
