I turned up in the afternoon and had a great time (black 964). What great weather!
I spotted a PH sticker on the back of a red noble, so i know there was at least one other PHer there. I'll post some pics as soon as i've processed them

K1 CERB and I were there with the Red Noble. Saucyboy and Cheesypuff popped down for a visit and M12kop was having fun with his trackday Beemer.

A great day out! thumbup

I got some good shots of the red noble in the pit garage which i'll post, although none of it on the circuit sadly. I did get lots of beemer shots, which one was M12kop's?

Ahh, i think i saw you then. I was parked next to a silver boxster at around 3ish - very close to the cafe? It was making hot metal 'tink tink' noises and smelling of brake pads

Yep, that was her she's only a 2.5 and was having to work hard to keep up with the hot hatches, is it me or do they just get quicker?

Did anyone get any track shots? a tenner for one pic from the official photographers seemed a bit steep to me!!

Really busy wasnt it? and who where the chavs drinking Stella at the end of the pit lane? rofl

The hot hatches are always quick on the Indy circuit. you can usually get past them coming out of clearways though when bigger bhp wins although their weight helps them gain a bit at druids

I and my buddy took a few which i've put here

The official guy sells all his shots of you on a cd for a good price iirc. I think i split the cost a few years ago - if you ask nicely he'll put shots of 2 cars on one disk. think it was £20.

Fairly busy yep. I didn't see anyone drinking though!

wow small world!
yes, i did a couple thousand miles then gave it back to phil to add some rsr o-rings as the cam followers were leaking a little. He also adjusted the valve clearances again. Good job too, it ran really strong on saturday and didn't leak a single drop
