@RR

....Sort of! I enjoyed it but I intend to just run my car exactly how I do normally rather than different tyres or taking the back seat out etc. I'll probably stop when I eventually get down to a time I can't manage to beat. I've got a lot to improve on my starts.

Thats an understatement robin, you needed waking up by the marshal!!  :laugh: :grin:

....I'm not bothered about reaction times yet - It doesn't matter how soon you get off the line. Anyway, that was the time I cocked it up. I'm going to try it without Launch Control another time just to see.

At least he has finally given in and started in the fun.  :congrats:
This time last year Robin would not even consider parking next to a track, now he is planning his way round Europe.  :pomppomp:

It's largely thanks to the encouragement and support of people here that I am now an event junkie. I'm a late starter though - Didn't get married until my late 30's and no children until my 40's, the Ring/Spa/Pod in my 60's. What am I going to do in my 70's!?

You in particular, TC, have always praised my efforts in spite of me occasionally irritating you by posting complete bollox  :laugh:

:grouphug:

[Very off-topic, but I'm betting you're still on Cloud Nine re the newborn. It changes but the joy remains]

Occasionally  :surprised:   :grin:

Robin you wind a lot of people up on here with your ways, that goes without saying.  :smiley:
But you are part of the furniture.  :star:  and a big chunk of what gives this place its flavour, and a big character.
 I know you have had a few jabs to the ribs lately, but as you know that's part of being you.
You are a bit to old to be changing now  :laugh: but to be honest i think we would all lose something if you did.  :grouphug:
