I'm waiting for your call..

Going to bump this even though it's a recent post. I will be there in the slug, there are numerous other track prepped E21's around the place; I expect you to attend. I know that the Silverstone trackday is the official biggie, but this is the important one.

You don't have to be in a track prepped car either, I used to do 250 miles in a day on track at Croft in my old blue car (OK upgraded but not hardcore trackday machine). Murran, Nas, Arshad, Rob, Mark & everyone else - get yourselves to Croft.

I reckon I can just about make this. Might even go for a cheap hotel and drive up the day before. It's north of Watford right?

Jim I would love to, but there's no way I can afford the fuel right or trackdays right now.

Getting close now

I have fitted new crank pulley and sensor bracket but waiting for correct sensor to arrive. Then it'll need the timing setting up on the rollers. I was going to fit the massive rad I have, but will need to magically find some hose adaptors/bits in order to do it. I have made a front splitter attached to my now slightly butchered motorsport spoiler, and will be attaching a rear spoiler to the car as well - in fact Nick will remember handing me a dodgy aftermarket wing the day he sold me the car - that's what's going on!

I have garage 5 booked, will as usual be shared with Jason. Feel free to come and say hello if you are around.

We will hopefully have a dedicated instructor shared between the two of us for the day,my Wife is hoping he'll tell me I am rubbish and should give up!

Done a deal to sell my m3 so i am going to borrow this for the day

She's not in collusion with my mrs is she?

I would have liked to come up but have got Brands on August 1st for Retro Rides and doing a sprint event at Goodwood on the 6th. I might try and get up to spectate though.

got no cash jim or i'd be there.

id only get black flagged for linking up the complex and the hairpin on to the straight.

Well the car is probably working, going to Ric Wood tomorrow to get ignition set up with new crank trigger. Had a problem with towtruck, turns out Shaun is using his truck on Sunday, not back till late, I want to be there early and organised.

Fortunately someone I have never met before came to the workshop today and lent me the keys to this...



All he wants in return is a small sum of money and a refill with diesel before I give it back. A true gentleman!

Result!

Have you got a video camera Jim? I wish I could go as it would be good to see what my track car goes like compared to the slug.

If I have time I will fit my bullet cam to the car.

Cool.

I'm doing Brands Hatch next Tuesday with instruction from Tiff Needell and Jake Humphrey.

All of you, so not only for the Croft event: many, many pics and vids please! Have some wonderful days out there, keep em in one piece though!
