I think it's going to be a fun day...I'm going to take it at my own pace, which is the best way to avoid doing something too stupid - but I guess I've set myself up for something now, haven't I...

Thats what i said last time, but as its such a very wide and open track and i ended up boiling my brake fluid! Its great fun, no dread needed.

Ive got a laser temp gauge now just in case the brakes get too hot.

Discussion with Mrs N went something like:

Me: "I'll take it steady, make sure I don't overcook it".
Mrs N: "No you won't. You're a bloke."

She may have a point.

Just collected my refurbished "Track Day Alloys" :)

They look like brand new wheels; just need to find one more 285/35ZR19 scrubbed tyre, and I'm good to go with a complete set, thereby keeping my 'proper' tyres from being ripped to shreds.

When I spent an hour on bruntingthorpe last year (not on your marks) I braked at one point and absolutely nothing happened...gave it a couple of minutes gentle cruising and all was well again. I'm hoping not to do the same this time...

My mate Adrian has also confirmed. He'll be bringing something German but it'll be quick, so let's not hold that against him too much.

23 confirmed which is great....Well 24 but Si sent me his address and not his email which is nice if I want to pop around for a cup of tea.....

I think we are at 25 which is a great result...Anyone else interested just shout.

After todays vehicle dismantling exercise I'm looking doubtful for this now which is a real ball ache... Don't write me off yet Andy but it will take a supreme effort to get it all sorted in time!
