- Thread starter dinx
- Start date
Been and back again 8)
Got home and hit the sack for some ZZZs and back to the land of the living now.
Really enjoyed the day,though the weather tried to spoil it at first,the track dried up and the afternoon was great
Very good to meet all the Sharpey clan and Dinx :xwavey:
Dinxs' first track day,well done for having a go in the wet...
Steve,very quick straight off the bat for a first visit to Donny...
Chris,monster torque from the s/charger...and the commitment to the Craners :shock:
Me,tip toeing 'round in the wet,finally found some pace after the tuition :xvtec:
All that and I didn't take any pics
I'll have to look on www.picman.co.uk to see what they're like 8)
Top day for the first of the season xthumbup

Well......what can I say apart from
What a fab day. Thoroughly enjoyed it. Bit scary to start with but soon got into it and by the time I came off from the first session I had a grin like a cheshire cat
The time with the instructor was worth its weight in gold and left me on a real high...definitely worth the nerves beforehand!
I had loads of fun and spent the entire 5 hour journey back to Cornwall jibbering with excitement (poor Steve!! :lol: ).
Really good to meet you Simon....it always makes a track day for me to meet up with you guys.
Now.....when's the next one??!! 8)
Ohhh......got some pics, not very many as my battery failed me, but here they are:

Edited to add the link to some Bedford pics.... http://www.icdphotos.com/album/1376328

Strictly speaking this was actually my first proper trackday, I have been around donington before (back in november) in chris's Teg but was shit scared of damaging his pride and joy, I came in after a few laps of driving around like a granny.T666YPR said:
This time I was out to give it a go for real, I dont think I did too bad for a noobie
....having said that I did have a few hairy moments where I thought I might be paying a visit to the kitty litter :shock: Anyway... I had a bloody brilliant time, Donington is one hell of a track!
It was a pleasure to meet you Simon, its always good to put a face to a name.
I have some video footage but with donington being limited to spectators from the pit straight it wont be particuly action packed, I'll upload some track action tomorrow.
Now I cant wait untill our next track day! 8)
