After about 40 min's all pic's were sorted here and we were allowed onto the track slowly convoying around and return to pits.(Had to be slow cos nobody had helmets with them during the photo shoot .)
Now we were allowed a little play once helmets were in place so in our own time off to the track which was mostly wet/cold. Remembering that NO BRIEFING had occured plus I'd never seen Cadwell before and certainly not driven on it , we trot around at a pretty careful pace , quickening once confidence grew through my backside ----------- now we are shifting

Apparently this was the club circuit and therefore just before a hard uphill left hander ---- YOU SHOULD go through a barrier and return onto the club circuit again ------------ NO MARSHAL pointing this out / or sign and the adrenaline just kicking in , mean't I went straight on , only to see in front of me around the bend TWO Z Cars mini's smack in the middle of the track having a photo shoot .
I was very busy for a few split seconds , Z CARS guys had mouths open and Stuart(passenger) thought , '' oh , dad's done it this time


Appologies all round


Even with ammater marshals on our sprint events direction is always indicated either by sign or a marshall pointing it out. Amazing

Back on track and things were hotting up learning all the bends through hills/hollows , a great fun experience if you've never been there. We did 10 or more laps then in to check fluids etc. Chit chat with Tim , coffee , lower the pressures. Out again , this time pushing quite hard , smoke coming from front left tyre at the barrier turn in . Tim moved over to let me chase an AUDI and a PORSHE but they wouldn't move over and were painfully slow in the corners. Tim had brought an RT with a TOYOTA 4AGE 1.6lt in it. Tim reckoned we were the quickest thing out there in that session. BUT , sadly , the front left tyre grabbed my quad headlights ripping them out , resulting in a split tyre wall . This I'm sure was down to carrying a passenger plus Cadwell is tighter than any place I've been round so needed more lock than normally would be the case. Off to LOUTH to buy a tyre but no joy


We did enjoy it though , just sad we didn't get back on track when the sun had dried the track out.
So at some point in 2007 an article will appear in Totalkitcar including a Stylus

A few pic's taken by Tim at CADWELL



None on track as Stuart couldn't hold the video still
