23rd August, bedford track day

Absolutely brilliant day!

 

As Haydn says, would be great for something like this to become an annual get-to-gether on the calendar.

 

But many, many thanks especially to Dan, Will, Karl and Chris for the passenger rides - all different but so enjoyable in their own ways.

 

And the grins as drivers and passengers came in from each run was confirmation of just what a fun day that was.

 

Oh, and must record we even had a certain Tango 240z turn up at the end of the day with its new wheels and hope I didn't get you lost on the way home Darren .......

 

Oh, might have some pics/vids once I get some editing done.

That's sounds nuts and looks immense fun! Think I want one :lol:

Great little video Keyser. B)

 

Was watching it come out of the pits just thinking surely there can't be any revs left but it just kept going! :scare::lol:

 

What's the rev limit on the Frogster then? like 10.5K or something. :dry:

 

!2,500 is on the limiter mate :teeth:

 

First run out we managed 125mph on the back straight Me an Keyser Junior said we wanted 135mph by the end of the day and got 136 :yahoo:

 

Last solo run I got brave and managed 140 :scare:

 

Looks like I also broke my suspension on my last 20 minute hoon :doh:

 

Just off to strip it down and assess the damage - more on that later.

 

Trust me that little car is epic fun - completely different to the Zed on track but the grin factor is possibly even more :)

What a brilliant brilliant day and what a turn out.

 

Good to see Graham,Colin and Darren coming along to support.

 

New BMW performed better than i thought it would with no modification yet following our purchase just a few weeks ago.

 

 

Highlights of the day,

 

Amy being helped out of Karl's Lotus after a few quick laps :surrender:

Chris trying to shoehorn himself into the green frog :lol:

Karl's expert advice on improving my track skills and some very very impressive passenger laps in his Lotus, was like hornet on steroids. :D A big thanks Karl :thumbs:

 

A great day. This is fast turning into a monthly meet/event, make a note in your diary for the next one, can't wait.

OK, got the video sorted although some of it is a bit shakey :blush:

 

Another excuse is that there are no formal spectator areas at Bedford but a kind marshal let me join him at his post by the pit entry and it was bloody exposed :cold::lol:

 

Anyways, five vids strung together:

 

1st - The new Beemer of the 3 desperados - Brillomaster/Ken/Will370

2nd - 911 Porsche of Ekona

3rd - 350 Roadster of Haydn

4th - Hissing Sid of Keyser with Haydn chasing

5th - The Beemer again but afraid I have no idea who was driving then, or in the 1st part

 

Best to play in full screen ;)

Oooh Will, there's a photo of your mate: http://www.msvtphoto...vhx/13639311802

 

Haha there is captain slow. I didn't know he would be going fast enough to get body roll like that

 

I have a vid of him sliding into the left-hander before the back straight he loses it as he corrects it dunno what happened after that I went round on the inside ;)
