I had arranged a trackday at Knockhill in June on my Harley :roll: even bought a van, alas it wasn't to be.

Its something I really want to do so I've postponed it for 12 months.

Looking forward to seeing your pics!

What a fookin afternoon :bounce: The track is ‘Wee’ yes but quite technical with the dramatic changes of height especially that blind first corner, wow :twisted: Image Had a brilliant 2 hours with a few races with similar ability - young guns and men :wink: Carolyn had her dSLR and took some mega photos 8)

The day wasn't full so plenty of clear track at times mixed in with some close quarter fun at times :twisted:

Very nice. I added in the "img" tags around the URLs so the images display in line for you :wink:

You really need only two tools: WD-40 and duct tape. If it doesn't move and it should, use WD-40. If it moves and shouldn't, use the tape.

Nice shots Billy wizz.

I must have overdosed back in my youth (and erm middle age) with racing then trackdays, as I find I have absolutely no desire to bounce off the rev limiter any more. Although I wouldn't mind a few laps of the 'Ring in a decent car as I have never done it on 4 wheels.
About 300 to 400 bhp per tonne would be entertaining enough!

Next time I take the car to 'The Ring' John I'll give you a shout and you are welcome to take her round with the usual, "you crash it, you fix it" - which I'm sure you won't :D

Planning going on the bike in 2021, restrictions allowing :bounce: It's been a while, last bike I took round was me BCR in 2018 :wink: It's 'The ViPeR's turn :P




It was a perfect September afternoon weather wise Chris and introduced me to the track's intricasies 8) I went very sideways :shock: but only once, over Duffus DIp, my fault, but the car saved me from much embarrassment and cost and a guy that was chasing me in a GT2 came to find me in the Paddock afterwards and said "You gave me a nice shot of the side of your car out there" :lol: Great fun.

GT2 - now you're talking.
Can you persuade him to get to the 'Ring next year too? :D

A very kind offer John - sadly one I fear I will never take up, but generous of you to make it.

Chris - many factors like health issues, financial ones with Covid kicking hell out of the business and two mates dying from it - old age too.
