Teeside report

Travelled up to Middlesborough for the lastest round of the Toyota Sprint Series on the Friday. Nice uneventful trip up.

Saturday sampled the delights of Middlesborough’s shopping attractions before heading of the the Teeside autodrome for the event. It was to run from 4pm to 10pm .

Stickers attached without drama,scrutineering then out for the practice stuff and a look at the track…..

From the incar footage you will see how undulating the first section is with a blind negative camber section to concentrate the mind.

Did a 54.71 on my second timed lap but the heavens opened for the 3rd session and the track remained damp for the next 4 runs run 7 was a good one felt just right but unfortunately I had to slow down due to a spinning MR2 Turbo who then stalled which meant I had to do another one which was pant ! the final run was my fastest at 54.28 which left me 6th in Class and 10th overall which I’m quite chuffed with.

Some pics below

was a great weekend !

lovely to see adam and lindsay, sorry but never seemed to get the chance to chat :duh:

spent 6 and half hours getting up there ! (and they tell me there is more land beyond :o )

great social evening on the friday night, with a quite a few of the entrants staying in the hotel

a great track, not the easiest especially after the downpour, dave put through some good times, and surprised quite a few people, i managed to win the class again, but the competition is getting tighter now with only 2 hundreths of seconds seperating first and second places

saturday night was a night to remember, all sitting round chatting, when some strange polish women decided to join us !!!

i have not laughed as much for so long, ended up at about 3 o'clock running around the hotel to escape her

cant wait for the next round :D
