....Is there a story behind that, Rich? :popcornsoda:
I've been invited by Milltek but I get on very well with AmD's Shaun Hollamby. It's not 100% I'm going yet but if so it'll be Sunday. I should know tomorrow. If you bribe me with one of your homemade Scotch Eggs, Rich, I could probably meet up with you on the spectators side :grin:

....My point is that AmDMilltek's racing team is doing better (higher placings) than it was last year in its first season. I wasn't comparing it with other teams. However, it is still early in the series.

....The ITV4 coverage is usually very good.

Tom Onslow-Cole's overview of the AmDMilltek GTI's progress and comments on the Thruxton round:
More info here: http://www.amdmilltekracing.com/news.read.cfm?articleid=101
And for those watching on ITV4 the race times are 11:30am / 2:10pm / 5:15pm < Andy (wigit) you now know when to plan your coffee breaks :happy2:
-
Sounds very positive as you would expect.
I hope they have found some more horses and the car creeps it's way up the grid. It wont be for a lack of effort that's for sure. :happy2:
Will hopefully call by and say hi at some stage. :smiley:
-
Cheers robin that was the plan, having had a new kitchen I've had enough chaos and takeaway
-
Sat in waiting for a delivery that was supposed to be "first thing". Grrrr! :fighting:
God only knows what time I will get there now.
-
I will be there in spirit! :smiley:

....Creeping up the grid and gaining points is definitely the plan. Thing is though that it's also everyone else's plan!
Have a great weekend, Ian. You're at Goodwood on Sunday aren't you? Otherwise if at Thruxton txt me :happy2:

Thanks, buddy :drinking:
I've said this many times before but so many of your best shots look very professional. You've captured that special moment in every shot - I can feel the action!

No, that was today. :wink:
If I can get in on the gate tomorrow (and it's not stupidly expensive) I might pop along...

Yup! Very handy. I ordered mine previous week and got them next day!
Bit breezy here but 7th again for TOC. Defo holding his own now. What happened to Plato tho near the end ??
-
Possible flat spotting of a front tyre followed by a puncture. Had a good old moan on the camera about driving his car past its limits and not having a turbo.

Why do they not fit a honeycoombe grill rather then what looks like a cardboard cutout?

Aero. They get all the air they need from the lower grille or so Shaun told me at Silverstone last year. :wink:

You guys see the ginetta GT crash on the startline when the pole sitter stalled it? Was in the pits at that point and heard it all!
Didnt take camera with me today so no pics from me!
-
.
I actually saw very little of the racing other than the first BTCC race. Even when I went on the grid with camera in hand for the second race, the Golf didn't make it there! I'm not complaining though :wink:
My compact digital camera simply can't capture and deliver the quality of action pics which Rich and Hedgey can.

I was at the exit of the chicane/entrance to the pits so just missed the view of it. Heard it all but saw nothing. Great race 3 for TOC. Did well climbing the field. Apart from the wind it was a good day out!
