Not really knowing what to expect initially I wasnt that excited about the trip, more worried about the effects it would have on my car. Needless to say I have been well and truly bitten by the bug and cant wait to go back again.
Not knowing the track I didnt expect to get any quick laps particularly, I foolishly timed my second lap out and from then on had something to work on. My last lap being my quickest which was a 9.21 (thats with a stopwatch, not some time I made up in my head...) with a coach holding me up half way round, and an M3 that just wasnt commited enough for my liking.
I surprised myself though, and the car was brilliant. I cant really put into words how well the car was handling, its just fantastic, so chuckable and great fun, I felt very confident with it.
The banter was great too, we had some good nights out. Was also cool to meet some new faces, Lee, Scott, Rob, Andy, Tony, Ken_J  ... Hope I havent forgotten anyone! Must say a big thanks to James and Lee for sorting my little birthday surprise! Wasnt expecting it at all.
I would list all the highlights for me, but thinking about it theres just loads! It was all in all a fantastic long weekend!
Not seen many pics of myself on track yet. The bikers were ridiculously annoying on a flying lap, not to mention dangerous. I think some of them must have a screw loose for going out there, especially at some of the speeds I saw them doing.
Anyway heres my pics, taken with my new 500D. I would have liked to have got more, but spent most of my time at the track eager to get out myself to be honest
