andy james Posted June 23, 2014 Author Share Posted June 23, 2014 Bloody great day and thank god it didnt rain A few pics and then a video which you will see that the 350z is probably not suited to the tight/narrow tracks which these events chuck at you,but hell it gets your ticker going Castle Coombe next in july! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
andy james Posted July 21, 2014 Author Share Posted July 21, 2014 Back to Gurston yesterday for a national A meeting which attracts some of the fastest cars in the Sprint/Hillclimbe calendar. Thanks once again to Dave and Rich {Harryjax.Choptop} for your support. A few pics of the meeting and thanks to Dave{Bailey} and his video skills on my phone a clip of me slithering off the start line! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

andy james Posted August 16, 2014 Author Share Posted August 16, 2014 Hi guys. Went to Castle Coombe on monday for and afternoon trackday which probably for the best as it peed it down all morning and a lot of cars spun off! Saw a very badly damaged S2000 Honda which looked like he had come off sideways, hit the armco and then continued sliding along it as the car was completely flat from nose to tail and the two wheels looked like someone had run a chain saw round the rims Here are a frew pictures which the roving professional snapper took. Also here is the link to the two 5 min videos i took. Check out that crazy mini in the first one towards the end of the clip who was all over the place which as you can see made me rather nervous when it came to overtaking him. I swear he only ever had two wheels on the ground at any part of the lap 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

GMballistic Posted August 16, 2014 Share Posted August 16, 2014 Very cool Andy and the car seemed to be handling the circuit with ease. Seemed nice and quite on track too really. Not like some of the usual track days I've seen/been on up there. How much did it cost to do that? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The good thing about msv trackdays at the coonbe is you can go am/pm or full day. £199 full day or £119 half. To be honest if your not sharing the car then a half day is enough time and also you still come home with some rubber left Still managed to get through £90 fuel 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
andy james Posted September 2, 2014 Author Share Posted September 2, 2014 Very busy weekend ahead. Brighton speed trials on saturday which should be amazing because off all the national publicity it has attracted due to the cancellation last year. I think i am going to struggle to get into the top three at this event,check out the list of cars in class 4! eff TVR T350C 3605 T/C B 96 Black Paul TVR Sagaris LS9 6200 (8680) S/C 97 Bunker Tony Nissan GTâ€R 3799 (5319) T/C98 Jeffrey Tim Renault Alpine A610 3000 (4200) T/C W 100 Eagle Joe Lamborghini Aventador Roadster 6300 B 101 Golding Dean Chevrolet Corvette 6200 (8680) S/C B 102 Hanson Marc MG SV 4600 103 Harrison David Vauxhall Monaro 7000 (9800) T/C 104 Jackson Nicholas Ford Fairlane Sedan 5800 B 105 James Andrew Nissan GTS 3497 (4896) T/C B 106 James Andrew Ford Focus RS 2521 (3529) T/C 107 James Robert Ford Focus RS 2521 (3529) T/C 108 Massey Arthur Triumph TR7 V8 4000 109 Morris David TVR Tuscan V8 7000 110 Kenney Paul Nissan Skyline R33 GTR 2568 (3595) T/C B 111 Nicholson Justin Porsche 996 3600 (5040) T/C B 112 Oram Robert Jaguar E Type 3800 B 113 Oram Robert Ferrari F40 2936 (4110) T/C B 114 Paul Simon Toyota Supra 2997 (4196) T/C 115 Peters Alex Ford Mustang GT 4600 (6440) S/C 116 Pryme Graham Porsche GT3 3600 B 117 Shepherdâ€Smith Mike Ginetta G33 4798 119 Cave Graham Ferrari F430 F1 4308 B 120 Tyrer Brian Porsche 911 3300 (4620) T/C B 121 Sacco Joe Jaguar F Type 5000 (7000) S/C B 122 Tappy Duncan Bentley GT V8S 3993 (5600) T/C 123 Gray Steve AC Zagato 6200 124 Bradfield Tony TVR Griffith 4998 125 Hulford Piers Vauxhall Monaro 6000 (8400) S/C B 126 Plummer Laurence Jaguar Sportbrake 5000 (7000) S/C If anyone is interested in popping down i have a couple of paddock tickets going free worth £12 each. Up early on sunday to head up to Silverstone for the Trax show which was bloody amazing last year apart from the afternoon rain! I wish the organisers of these events consulted each year with their calendars as i also could have gone to Wiscombe Park for a speed hill climb along with Gurston down!!!

GMballistic Posted September 2, 2014 Share Posted September 2, 2014 I think you'll get in the top three easy, ...what's to worry about? just a bunch of kit cars, hatchbacks, VW Beetles and some old classics. Good luck. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

andy james Posted September 30, 2014 Author Share Posted September 30, 2014 Last event of the year for me. Clay Pigeon Raceway sprint on Sunday the 5th October not far from Dorchester. It's free to get in so if you fancy watching anything from a mini to a race car thrash round a go kart track then pop along. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
