Donnington 06

[Andy Spencer]

Enjoyed a run over there on Saturday, thought it was a bit quieter than last year. Good to chat to Jim who had sold his jeep and to see Richard Hall who took a lot of interested people through the zetec conversion done on my car (he did a lot of it). Lots of people conspicuous by there absence - Chris Brown, Bill & Joey, Peter Bell to name but a few.

Was it me or were there much fewer stalls than last year?

Still a good half day though.

Shall he be pronounced AWOL ?

Chris said last week that he had been out a lot recently so may not get a pass for Donny......I think you lot might call this 'under the thumb'

Good weekend, great time apart from the night

 

what is it with camping, the week before we got stuck with the campsite owners son spouting off about his powerful subaru, this weekend pitches the tent next to a tent with a subaru only to find the owners smoking wakky backy, radio on all night and the girl in the tent offering friends to watch her with her boyfriend AS LONG AS THEY DIDNT TOUCH , HE WAS GOING TO DO SOME MACHANICAL THING, CHECKING HER INLET MANIFOLD AND BORE SIZE .

 

Took cabinboy mark, round the track in the westfield, bloody quick, i recorded 115 on the exit from redgate to the bottom hairpin and along the straight under the bridge, even passing the rs200 replica going into the "s"s by the pits. Mark got it wrong but corrected it at redgate, 90mph sideways is not good for the heart or the ars*. it was good we still had 1500 rpms spare in 5th but had to drive home so I told him to back off.

 

Pictures on the website soon, www.photosportuk.com,

 

Trade show a bit poor i thought but camping and general running wa good, big improvement on last year.

 

THIS WEEKEND AT SOUTHPORT WE HAVE THE BRITISH FIREWORK CHAMPIONSHIP, FRIDAY SATURDAY AND SUNDAY NIGHTS, STARTS ABOUT EIGHT THIRTY. PARK ON THE PEIR ENTRANCE IF A GANG TURN UP TO PUT ON A LITTLE DISPLAY. ALL WELCOME. We at donnington again but back for the fireworks.

Thanks Sue I would have loved to have been there but I'm afraid there are other things other than kit cars or so I’m told and I’m not arguing as I know which side my bread is buttered!
