Just got home this afternoon from the SELOC sprint down at North Weald. What a scorcher!
:groupjump: :jump: :groupjump:
Top day, fantastic weather, excellent organisation and a great bunch of guys (and girls).

I set out to nab the 10 bonus points for beating one's PB from back in February. I managed that with relative ease on my first timed run thanks to a few tips picked up at an Andy Walsh day recently (my can no longer understeers, result!). Runs 2, 3 and 4 saw me knocking around a second off my time each go to finally finish, I think, in 13th place out of around 20 in my class. Well chuffed with that as I was second from bottom back in Feb.

I'll put some pics, results and a proper writeup on my site maybe this evening or tomorrow and link from here for those that are interested. In the meantime, here's a vid of my fastest run:

Totally shattered now, time for a rest :drink: :sleepy:

Cheers guys thumbsup Some of you should really come and give it a go. You get a full day's motorsport for about a quarter of the price of trackday, less wear and tear on the car and there's actually a point to it all rather than going round and round a track for hours. It's lots of fun. Jim, next time I'm down there (autumn) I'll give you a shout - If you're free, pop past.

I only had the mic plugged into the left input. I usually convert the whole lot to mono in Premiere but just used Windows movie maker last night for speed and forgot about the sound thing.
