Volkswagen & Audi Track Day - 16th July 2011
Hedge:
I would say overall it was a good day even after a good soaking this morning.
Enjoyed seeing some faces, old and new, and believe it or not I have a touch of sunburn. :ashamed:
I must admit to feeling sorry for JKM and some of the other stall holders as the lack of people was painful to see.
The JKM Octy and Mk3 Golf spent all day lapping the track, wet or dry, putting some serious machinery to shame. :congrats:

Jim had some trick Ferodo pads in his car and they were working ok on 345mm discs. The brake judder was getting worse the more laps I did! They're ok now tho once cooled down

DaveB is selling some TTRS 4 pots at for ok money at the moment (i think). I dont suppose 345mm brakes are designed for 320bhp to be thrown at it continuously :signLOL:

Thanks to Lee for booking the club stand despite the reduced numbers due to the weather :happy2:
As always good to see the normal faces and some new ones too.
Shame to see the Bora of Win on the back of the tow truck but glad the guys are OK as it looked pretty nasty :scared: :scared:

For those reading wondering what's going on - Well I've gone and earned my tyre wall badge Just after exiting old Paddock the car slid, managed to catch it quickly but it set up a nice tank slapper that resulted in a trip into the tyre wall. Combination of too fast for the conditions and me running out of talent. Main thing is both driver and passenger are unharmed and the car will live to fight another day. Just panel damage and a wee bit of other damage so we're confident it'll be back on the road in a few weeks.
