I'm only really here for the Kitchens

Once again, massive thanks to all the guys , Henger, LUDE, Maki and well, just everyone. As always the trip was eventful, I will let Jeremy fill in the details, his request for a 2.6 driveshaft in the wanted thread may give you all a clue though. A HUGE thanks to all the ATEC guys too.

And Paulossie has a slightly less dramatic 'event' story too.

My car suffered an odd bubble on the side of one of the tyres so a lot of my tracking was done on my spare, oh and the B pillar cover came a little bit lose.

More stories and pics to come but I wanted to get a thread started and get this video up.

What happened there? Did you only have use of a quarter of the track?

For the morning sessions you just use half and they open the rest up after lunch, by the afternoon, what with jeremy's car issues, Paulossie's car problems, and the fact that it was 38 degrees I didnt get round to recording a decent lap of the full circuit :(

It makes it easier to remember though so you can really try to get those lines sorted and get enough goes to see how each corner effects those further on. If it was a full lap I would never remember the little details to try on the next lap.

Although that video isn't a good example of that lmao It was so hot I was only doing about 3 or 4 laps because I just had to get out of my black interiored car.

I agree better off drivinga short track and mastering it and seeing improvements by the end of the day, more fun too in my opinion.
Look forward to hearing the stories at retro.

Its funny, watching it back it looks so slow compared to on the day, perhaps I should speed the frame rate up :)

Due to the 'input' in this thread I am still not 100% convinced that I didnt invent this trip and photoshop all the pics but I may as well post em anyway lmao

I ended up doing most of the day on my spare due to an odd bubble appearing in the sidewall of my toyo. I am kind of liking the silver look.

The more you examine the Atec 190s the more you find. Amazing engineering. This is looking back from the front bumper towards the custom (evoII style) front whishbone tie. If I break my whishbone do I get a free wish ? Two of these please.
