E&OE. All unofficial.

A couple of serious guys and then everybody else. But a good weekend with very few incidents. A credit to the organisers, officials, marshals and competitors. IMHO.

Whats the track record,Scott must have been close.

rescue dude · 28 Aug 2006, 09:36 (Ref:1694350)

He was close!!!!! it's 25.85 i believe.

wight jr · 28 Aug 2006, 09:42 (Ref:1694355)

Yip but no cigar

rescue dude · 28 Aug 2006, 09:45 (Ref:1694356)

Shouldn't have had that extra bacon sarnie.

webbo · 28 Aug 2006, 09:51 (Ref:1694359)

Ladies record went to Sandra
Sports Libre Record to Matt (with Chris Cannell under old record as well)
Tom New wins the Leaders
.....and i think someone else broke a record but i am sorry i cant remember who !

Good meeting me thinks !

wight jr · 28 Aug 2006, 10:01 (Ref:1694366)

Well done to Tom, boy did good, now a top 10 number would end a good year.

and for a moment Scotty thought he'd broken the record as the timing display at the top showed 25.84 !!! it wasn't until they pulled the slip off the official printer that he realised that he had just missed it.

Yep at last (and after some very late nights for Tom and i last week),
i was only there on Sunday.......bloody work gets in the way of my fun.
It was the first time i had driven it as i missed the Test day i had booked( no surprise there). So i was bedding in brakes etc......but i was pleased - i wasn't that fast but i wasn't there for that. Oh and i had the biggest grin

Another pair of podiums, well done Paul! If the season were split into 2 halves then you'd be looking like #3 for the second half.

Webbo is Mr Modest.
Seeing as the car had not even moved before he drove it, he drove it very well, very sensibly and you could see the confidence growing each run. It won't take him long to be on the pace. You better watch out Tom!!

zac510 · 28 Aug 2006, 21:13 (Ref:1695872)

Tom New's run was great. What engine does he have? I never saw them take the cover off all day

Scott's final run was awesome entertainment too - didn't look like he was going to pull it off at the first sector timing beam.

Was the record printed wrong in the Programme? It says 26.47 on p23 but 25.85 at the front?

I have some happy snap shots if you would like to see?

Tom has a 2.0 Rover KV6 hidden under there !

and 25.85 is the correct record

Paul Ranson · 28 Aug 2006, 21:35 (Ref:1695881)

It's good to see the 2 litre class hotting up again...

Tom's won the Leaders, he's on for a number, can he complete the Grand Slam and win the Y Gelli?

I think Chris Pickering did extraordinarily well. Right in the zone with a custom car and standard engine.

Paul

Paul Ranson · 28 Aug 2006, 21:48 (Ref:1695888)

26.57 is the class record, 25.85 is the outright record. Times recorded in a 'Top 12' don't count for class records.

I hope you had a good time. If you'd asked Tom for a look at his engine he'd probably have shown you... And you can see ours any time.

I had a rusty Escort Mexico in that shade of green once...

Thanks

If I had a bigger lens I would shoot more track action but until then I hang around the pits shooting tech stuff.

Webbo, sorry to sound ignorant but which photo is of you? If it is a good shot I could send you a larger resolution version.
