Reivew : Elvington trackday 19th nov - 19th Nov 2005 9:47pm
Well what can i say greatday even though my car never went which is a pitty cos it looked sweet.
After some mad frantic efforts to try and sort the car out for sat it just wasnt to be so i sold my entrance ticket to scooby and set off to my girlfriends mum and dads in a sulk on thursday night so i could be lazy and have a sleep in on sat as they live 30mins from the track.
Turned up at Elvington air field at about 10-30am after getting lost AGAIN to see scooby dazza webby and evo-ad were all ready there and unpacked ready for action.
There were plenty of nice cars there from a noble to a mini (which had a spell on 2 wheels).
Whatched scoobys 1st couple of outings and i must admit i was very suprised at how fast the car was it was holding off the noble at one point.
Then came Dazza's drive in the car mmmmmmmm sideways backwards and most otherways untill he got used to the power and the fact that it was his 1st proper go in a rwd car (didnt say till after).
Then scooby took me out in the car WOW what a rush. Done a couple of trackdays now but never in a car as well set up and as fast as the escort very fast and very sidewasy indeed cheers for that.
Then cos i am i cheeky git blagged a ride in a very green 4i so i could see what mine will be like and that was very quick only running 20bhp up on mine and on the same shocks and springs as mine too well quick till the breaks went alittle wayward somthing i should be looking out for then me thinks.
Not everthing went smoothly though seen a mini up on 2 wheels a 3 door cossy break the big end (must be a sierra 3 door thing) and a civic type R die after only a couple og goes. And poor eve-ad got a puncture and had to get home on a very dodgy looking wheel hope you got home ok mate.
All in all it was a top day lets hope nextime we can get more of us down there and on the track.
I AM GOING TO SET ANOTHER TRACKDAY UP IN FEB/MARCH SO IF YOU MISSED OUT ON THIS NOWS YOUR CHANCE TO SORT YOUR RIDE FOR THE NEXTONE.
More pics to follow.
