Great day, you need to strap on a large pair for the banking at Rockingham  :laugh:

The Boost Hose popped off again, Jubilee clip can't hold it, need to get it sorted for Snetterton.

Some footage on its way.

To be fair it was a great day, the circuit we did was pretty good, if it had some decent Tarmac on it it would be up there with some of the best.  But the place has no atmosphere, it was like a new pub. We did the long circuit, which had plenty to keep you interested but there was a lack of a sense of occasion.  :driver:

Yeh, just not got the history,  I don't think Pif Paf and Tarzan are going down as legends  :wink:

I'd do it again though.

Tarzan is a leg end. AhhhrrrrRrraaa. 
I also think the car content was lacking a bit which didn't help. Caterams everywhere. A bit more vag or even a few scooby's would have made it more interesting. I don't think I came across one of the Ginettas out on track.

If Neil's car had of been able to do more laps, ther would have been some good footage of us hooning around. I had to drive right on my limit, the whole way round to pull back 50 yards. Neil would then pull 100 yards on the oval section. 
I have new found respect for oval racing. It is very scary, I would not go flat out the whole way round, 120 was fast enough for me, driving through all the marbles was also interesting at that speed on a bend.  :driver:
