Hey...

Well a couple of Saturdays me and a few mates headed to Croft for a track day. The people who took cameras have taken a while to post all their pics, mainly due to dissertations and other fun stuff like that.

The day started off with having to roll out of bed at 5am. The damn car was frozen outside, I'm sure the neighbours were loving me leaving it running whilst it defrosted.

Met up with my mate Tom who's got a 200sx, got half way from his house to the meeting place when he realised he'd forgotten his driving license, a quick drive back and we were on our way.

Got to croft well in time for the 8am briefing etc, managed to get some pit garages then it was time to get out on track.







During the second session Toms 200sx parted with a brake line. A quick trip to a local garage got it fixed though.



Bike engined track toy...





















What happens when you don't brake hard enough at the end of the straight...



A few other cars from the day...













Last but not least a pic from the drive home heading down the A66...



What a laugh it was, I'd highly recommend it to anyone that hasn't had a go before. Next stop is Oulton Park in June.

I'm pretty sure the GT went out, can't remember to be honest.

My pug was really good on track, was pleased with how well it handled.

I take it you've been on Oulton Adam?

Looks a good track, I really liked the video footage of it. Can't wait to go now.
