Regardless of what Pete's pictures will show :$ the only problem i had was spinning the car at a great rate of knots :$ :rolleyes5 .thanks to my £4.99 compressor from a "garage" with £6 of fuel...waste of time as i over inflated my tyres for a WET road!!!!!!! in excess of 40psi :lipsrseal no grip at the rear...........no surprise i lowered them to 34psi.

A great day was had.....after spinning the car i decided to master the art of provoking the car to oversteer and attempt power sliding on a very greasy track....pete getting a lot of side ways motion......and "The Vee" overtaking me :dozey: and me overtaking an R34 GTR......and he was trying!!! all on film! :laugh: :p (BU@@ER does that mean The Vee is faster than an R34 Skyliner?!?!?!) ;) :-D My fingers are crossed for when Pete's pictures appear!

Ohh......and only acheiving 60 miles on a FULL tank of Optimax WTF! :$

Sounds like you all had a great deal of fun Simon, only wish I could have afforded to come too! Thought the rain must have made it exciting!!!

the rain was worrying to begin with but then everyone got their confidence! i wasn't the only one to spin....just the first! MR2's were spinning along with the Supras (no surprise), 200sx's, GTS's and the GTR to name just a few! Pete's pictures should be good.

Yep you guessed it, I fell asleep this evening so pics will be delayed until tomorrow night. That's what getting up at 4.30am does for you !

Rest assured there will be some good stills pulled from the video action, Simon spinning right in front of me was pretty tasty ;)

The rain did liven things up a little and it certainly gave us the opportunity for some sideways action, and other than letting each other go by neither Simon nor I had anyone overtake us all day :laugh:

So, after spending £110 on fuel today :dozey: (we proved the VR4 does do around 7mpg on track) , we got home in one piece (even the brakes survived again), and I certainly think we got our monies worth from today. Thanks to both Andy and Simon for their company and a great day was had by all.

Found this pic of Simon and I chasing a 380bhp Skyline, he could not lose us at all and as Simon said at one stage he managed to sneak past him for part of a lap

Few more "poached" pics, was an awesome sight having all these Jap cars lined up for a parade lap !

And a couple of me chasing an Imprezza, another who could not lose the VR4 despite all the added extras to his car :laugh:
