Title says it all................

check out the pistonheads site...........they are doing a afternoon track day & BBQ on 10/4

i'll be along with the IS350 as will Kamelia who is having a go in the IS350 (under proper tuition)

after the track closes there is a BBQ from 8pm onwards...........

would be great to see a few LOCers there .............. @ bazza noise limit is 105db

cost £165 for the track day........2 drivers with tuition for one and BBQ

[Dave-Ellen]

Just got back...............

Kami had to work so Barrie come along as my wife for the evening (wore a nice dress as well)

Excellent session with some nice cars.

I had the tuition from a guy called Darren who looked 13 1/2 but showed me how it should be done. Best £25 I've spent __ period

Barrie had a go as well (won't mention his first lap ...................)

will post some videos up tomorrow

completely cooked rear pads its now metal to metal...............risto batteries flat looks like its cap in hand to Kami for the roadster

Sounds like you had some fun Dave? so will it be a brake upgrade now for the 350??

[Bazza]

oi oi !!!

was a great experience, many thanks for the loan Dave, tis a wicked car :)

what was wrong with my first lap ...........argh i remember !!

[Dave-Ellen]

rear OEM pads are fooked...............want to try uprated pads in OEM calipers as the risto was over braked and unstable at time (coming down from 130 +)

as to barries first lap............the video will tell all !

[aztecbandit1]

That would be my guess

leave it for the bazmeister to confirm/deny..........

yes i forgot to put my belt on !

i was somewhat distracted in trying to work out the difference between the window wipers and the indicators and where the gearstick was

funny thing was neither of us knew what the bleeping was

strange how the videos slow everything down, in reality there was some fast driving, by Dave of course, i was in pipe and slipper mode

funny quote from the video:

dave: "is the handbrake off"

barrie: "how do i tell"
