Will @ ROC went for part of it.

Difficult conditions apparently ............. the odd scrape on one or two cars apparently.

Doubtless Will will post some sort of thumbnail, if not here, then through ROC?

I went to help dsl2 who was way to quick...
It was a shunt fest at least 8 cars damaged, one hit the pit wall before he had left the pit lane!!!

I was there in our new PRO6 (The yellow one) giving it a shakedown run. Mixed weather and yes, quite a few crashes !
Met Wilbee and had a good chat with him, really nice guy.

It was a really productive day for me with all the new bits working as intended & no drama's, that despite the mixed bag of weather & the odd oil slick leading to an unbelievable crash count!

Nice to meet some new & old faces too!

Cheers JP for the helping hand mate.

That happened in a much more minor way at my very first trackday in a Radical which also happened to be my first ever proper trackday! Chap in a SR3 put it sideways across the pit exit (and couldn't get it restarted) not even ten yards after getting past the bloke who checks your bands and waves you off. What made it even more embarassing for him (and unnerving for me; thinking bloody hell, what have I bought into here) was that he was the first one out ................. not the day's most popular chap I suspect.

Sounds a fun day! What was with all the shunts then? Too much adrenaline and testosterone?

I would say more a case of deep pockets for most...

After rigorous testing, the marshalls were able to confirm the red flag was working as it should.

Great to meet a few fellow Pistonheads on the day. Had a particularly pleasant chat with Tony Freeman, top bloke!.. Glad you were pleased with the new PR6 Tony.
