Donny evening 24th

s.mac · 24-05-2012, 11:26 PM

After using my car to ferry a groom about today I then managed to get to Donny for the evening, thought I would see Howard (my instructor but the instructor of the day) so he could show me the lines before I'm there on the 4th, also northernJim and Paul from MLR before their track day tomorrow. Saw Matt, forgot his forum name already

There were a few CSLs there anyone else from here, I gave a couple the thumbs up, I didn't get to speak to anyone as it was red flag after red flagg and spent most of the time in the car, I let my nieces boy friend have a drive

It was ok but too many red flags and I probably won't go to another evening do.
I was the one with the silver tape on the plates

hi mate, its was me (d7wky) and evlxge in the other two csl's. all in all was a good night and was happy with the track time i managed to get. as said tho was a shame not to have had a chin wag but the last hour there was too may red flags

think you saw me quein and snuck infront,

managed a few laps without any traffic, would have loved to have heard all ov us down the pit straight

I think I followed you Dave you were going well, the track was great but the red flags did make it stop start, I ran out of fuel in the end and had to call it a day.

yer soon as i found a rythem a fuckin flag would come out

snap i also ran out of fuel but thankfully that was at around 8.20. may have just been me but when people were moving over i just did'nt have confidence in them, i think ian also got caught out by this. overall tho a nice way to spend a thursday night

do you know who or what website was taking pictures? would'nt mind a look.

s.mac · 25-05-2012, 12:41 AM

I can find out about pictures and will let you know.
A few of the slower cars were scary, going into corners and virtually stopping to get round, not good when you are going in quite quick and can't over take

all said I did enjoy what time we had on track

EVLXGE · 25-05-2012, 09:02 AM

As Dave said I was there too. (CSL No. plate) Didnt get much of a chance to pop around for a chat as we all seemed to be getting as much track time as we could.

Agreed with others, some of the standards of driving were a bit ropey. Towards the end of the night (Think there was 3 CSL out at the time) some people were slowing to dangerous speeds in the corners.

Ive done a few evening days at donny, normally with BaT and CD. Im not sure if the numbers were higher with this lot but there always seemed to be more traffic and defenitly more red flags!!

All in not a bad way to spend a sunny evening finished with a hoon home with Dave and romantic meal at McD's

.....and the supersports seem to perform quite well on track. Better than I was expecting anyway.

Hi Steve, Not a bad evening considering a few Red ones....Mainly for noise.
Was it you that I had a few laps with nearing the end ??

Bloody warm out there earlier on and tyres sure warmed up pretty quick.
It was another tell tale evening on just how the standard suspension just cant quite cope on track, Decisions need to be made on whether to upgrade or keep the old girl road friendly.

Great to see the SG's out in force with none of the slower black jobbies to be seen

I agree about some of the slow ones on track, I trailed round for two laps right at the end behind some Nober in a caterfield semi race type thing that just wouldn't move over and had no bloody idea what was going on behind him....... There was also another car that went off in front of me and had a largish grass moment but he was pretty much cruising round.......Just think he forgot to turn the wheel

Didn't get a chance to chat with dave or evxlge as we were trying to make the most of it but good to see you guys out there giving it large

Matty.
