yep car was behaving perfectly, full power and no strange noises

it did have a bit of left and right turn grumble but that turned out to be shed loads of rubber build up on the tyres due to the weather. Rubber seemd to solidify as soon as it was not on the hot part. Normally it gets warm enough to fly off the wheel al together!

but unfortunately i had a seriuous hangover all trackday morning, feeling sick everytime i went out and it got worse and worse. Better after lunch but not back to full strength until 7pm when i managed to get a bottle of bubbly down my neck followed shortly by a few pints of guiness

Anglesey was a good weekend!

we had a few appartments in Betws-y-coed for about 12 of us and the other 13 or so joined us on the trackday

most went up Friday to drink heavily and i joined them Saturday for a quieter night (that was the plan). Betws was a nice place, similar to ski resort in the summer, lots of outward bound shops and nice little hotels and shops plus afew bars and pubs. Great scenery right on the doorstep to Snowdonia

Sunday off to Anglesey across the 'mountains' with the team joind by Mike Wilds of F1 1970s fame (superb guy, no big ego like most race drivers - sorry Nathan)

Weather was overcast, cold and windy and i felt rubbish all morning.

Eventually in the afternoon i got to grips with the circuit and managed a few good corners but never felt really on the money. Lapping a few secs slower than the faster GT3s as i never felt like i had the grip in the mid speed corners which was a shame.

We all had some good track time, 3 CSLs, 1 Exige, 1 E36 325, 4 GT3, 3 GT3RS, 1 Atom, 1 XBow and saw Jony in his CSL and Glenns VXR.

As said above one nutter in a Supra (part of the Supra fan club) smoked his car into the start/finish straight wall. Must be a write off as it was worthless piece of junk anyway (only say that coz he was a liability all morning)

Back to Betws for Sunday night drinks and food and a leisurely drive back this morning

Good to meet you too Shimmy, shame we didn’t get more time for a chat.

Just flicking through my photos, have to post some for Sailorbaz, if anyone has noticed his absence he can't post on CSLreg at the moment, something to do with the server on the dinghy!
