I've now got a camera mount for the roll hoops,so i will try and get some footage as long as it stops raining long enough.
Perhaps next year i will come a bit further north and do one with you,not that my car will keep up with yours with all your mods.
Cheers
Tony

Can`t beat a bit of video footage which you can look back on when your old and grey (bit like Dico)
Don`t know whats happening with Donington circuit next year as that is a great circuit and being in the midlands easy to get to. Love to get back to silverstone as i`ve only done an evening there on the smaller circuit.
Got Anglesey book in June with Dico
BTW, power wise i`m only on the everest chip and bigger exhaust

Yeah, but unlike Dico Dastardly, your brakes are bedded in!

Both Donington and Silverstone are good for me and i look forward to doing them both.
Anglesey is a bit far for me.
I've also got the everest chip but standard exhaust.

So much for a cheap trackday!
Had a great day at Mallory today.
Weather was good all day but unfortunatly the first session after lunch it blew the head gasket.
I have been expecting it all the time i've had it.
Must do it soon as i want to do Bedford Autodrome on 23 january.
