Goodwood Track day

GULP!

signed myself up for this it's on the 7th December and unfortunatly all the places are now booked mostly Alfa's and only my TR7v8 a TR4 and a TR6 are holding the Triumph Flag.

Gulp because being my first outing at this, i can't help but feel a little SCARED that'll i'll spin off a corner or get in the way of others any advice from you die hard speed kings out there.

Ahhhh my own little space

Track morning was today and even tho iu and a Tr6 did have a spin we managed to keep it on the track but no the Ferrari testarrosa which unfortunatly just kept on going across the field till it hit a tyre wall oooops!

Other than that absolutly brilliant day after i got over the spin and initial nerves actually a very safe event. HONEST[:D]

John,now i know why you covered those seats in brown leather!
Was it like be'ing 'a star in a reasonably priced (sports) car?
What speeds were you making? Did you try 'drifting'?
We all know how poorly those 'Italian stalions' behave,its good to see a Wedge show it up!

See ya. Paul

Paul

got just above the ninty mark on the straights but you kind of build up your confidence as the day goes on to the point where you've caught the bug and don't want the day to end.

minor drifting was unintentional i'm afraid but who knows in the future, what i will say is the back end goes out noooooo problem lol[;)]
