Hey lads, just checking in from the Ring.

We got here in one piece but like our last trip, one of us had to break down (although this time it was just Kin with a flat battery) & I ran out of petrol.

Also, if anyone wants a recommendation for locknuts, all I can say is, DO NOT GET MCGARD.  Kin broke one of mine after we had just fitted a set of performance friction pads for my stoptechs, so now I have to drive back for 1200 miles on full race pads and get the F**KING thing drilled out of my hub.  The worst thing is they squal like Tom Araya at the start of Angel of Death (slayer fans know what I mean) 

Drift day was great, pics & vids to follow.  Looking forward to tomorrow morning 7.30 start at the ring.  Was like meeting old friends here, a lot fo the group are from last year and there are a few new faces.

 

F**K kin is trying to beat me to the post

B&&tard

Just in case you thought things had gone quiet about a track day

It is still being worked on. There have been some delays because of the time of year (people on holidays).

We hope to make an announcement later this month confirming if it is on or not.

Current scenario being looked at

Saturday, half day, early November, National track

Why not October? Mondello busy with motorsport events

Why not International Track? International track is only available week days

I will update as soon as I have further information. Thanks for your patience

Yes, I second that. Hopefully with all Ger's hard work we'll have a track day in November. Presumably with shorter evenings we'll have to start earlier than usual, maybe 12 noon or 1 at the very latest. If we can get a Saturday or Sunday in early November all the better.

Fair play for keeping this running, Ger. Tis getting harder & harder to get slots in Mondello.
