It was an excellent day Neil. Nice little circuit and very relaxed atmosphere, it wasn't "over organised" which can happen some times.
4 Strats in all Mine, John, Bob, and Geoff.
There were plenty of camera's there so hopefully some pictures will be posted soon, had a couple of moments one of which was captured by a drone camera so that will no doubt be making an appearance.
I wasn't sure would like the sprint format but would definitely do another.

Sounds like I missed a good day
Done lots of sprints in the past myself & been to curborough as it was before the changes, the only issue I have with sprints in general is that you might only get 4 or 5 runs over the day.
Look forward to seeing some photos...
Neil you could have had at least 12 runs in if you wanted or more , run untill the time reaches 5.30 pm, for £60Originally Posted by turbonutter

I had a good day - apart from the long and slow haul home. First time I've ever "floored" the car .. it felt very quick (to me) .. managed to touch 90 on the straight section
Apparently the car sound like some sort of electric car while it's pottering about: rather quiet. It didn't sound like that from the inside.
Pics from Curborough found HERE
A good cross section of the 3 marques present, proof that Jeff did go round the course & a good one of Chris & Jane!
Oh yes, and Ian's ankle beads....

The event was good for the Club generating more interest than any other event so far, well seen on line, and generating 502 people on line at the same time on the 18th....
We have some footage that is being looked at, and edited, (First time flyer so be nice!!!) and as soon as that is done I hope to either give you a link or get it on line here.
Thoses that went appeared to enjoy the day, relaxed and no pressure to do anything, Plenty of runs and the food was ok as well, it was good.
If we were to do it again would folk be interested?
Is this the way to get more people in cars for a fun event?
Would those with cars be happy to give FULL members a trip round the circuit as we did on Thursday? Passengers at there own risk....
let me know pls.
On the day Bob was the quickest by just 0.9 sec, and David was the most entertaining......!
You will see later what we mean, with his permission.......... heck we have the footage anyway...lol
Thanks to all that took part, and to those people that helped to run it, and those who just turned up on the day and found us, there was some really good photos taken, and freely given to the drivers.....that must be a first!!
For sure I would be intrested if we had another one - hopefully I will make it next time!
No problem to take members along for the ride!
I look forward to the video..
Ditto.
