Nice one Jimmy, i'm mates with Si clasby and have been to every race this year (bar the 1st one that he didnt make) to support.

Gonna add the youtube vids to favourites to show Si and his old man, they'll love that. Talking of which, Si's old man has some amazing pics of all the races as he is a bit of a budding snapper, I'll try to get a CD off of him and get some good uns online for all to see.

Good man. Mickey (24) has had some decent scraps with Si so is probably lurking somewhere in the photos. To anybody considering it, just get out there and do it, its the most fun you can have with your clothes on :D :D

It is amazing and the majority of the field are a bunch of sound chaps that would literally do an engine swap for a fellow competitor in the pits if it meant they could get out there. As much as it serious to the drivers, it is all done in good spirits from what I can see. Cant say that of all motorsports. :roll:

There is one guy that Si talks to quite a lot who seems pretty sound and often ends up playing dodgems with Si, defo did at coombe, unsure of his name.

I know Si's dads got some brilliant pics of bonnets flying open, cars hitting the tyre walls, people on the stops all over Mallory be worth getting them up here for sure.

Were you with him at sillystone?? If so which one were you? I was having a poke about when you were trying to do the rear bush?

Is that sorted now?

Yep everyones really sound, at Lydden last year- the first race I made it too after 3 engine blows in testing (and a couple of grand on rebuilds :evil: ), was up til 2 am on the car got there on sat, managed 3 laps of qually before having overheating problems.

Got to about 7pm and I was dead on my feet, went home and came back next morning to find half the paddock had pulled the car apart to try and fix it- so top guys!!

No, nothing a bit of gripfill wont sort out.

Got plenty of time before the next race but I bet we're changing it in the pits lol. Trying to sell Si's drift car for him atm so he can have a bit of cash to spend on it.

That's likely my brother Mickey, Irish accent, doesn't shave too often, drives delphin grey 24. In the first photo in your link of Si spinning, Mickey is sideways two cars behind. I think I met you with Si at the drivers briefing/signing on at Silverstone, short slap head. (Thats me, not you :P )

Look forward to seeing the photos if you can get them uploaded.
