Superb, just proved to me again why Trax is my favourite show of the year. Turned up nice and early ready for my briefing, sat down and listened to the normal lecture. Found out that Trax is the 2nd largest event Silverstone holds. The first being F1!!  Got down to the car, took teh headlight out, and off i went. And i loved it. Fcuking brilliant fun, car went very well, and considering the suspension, it showed up a few cars (Integra Type R, straight, bye bye intergra, Focus ST170,  Dont even go there, he had to get out of my way also on the straight  ). Seriously, 2.0litre boys, or even 1.6 owners, get ur arse out on track, its great. Only hit 5th gear twice on the lap, and driving the circuit is soooooooooooo different than on games or TV. Hanger straight is so short really, and some of them corners were tighter than i thought. Superb fun
alfter having a wander around, we went over the 0-60 run. Sat down, thought, feck it, lets go have a go, so after bloody ages waiting, i was ready. Now i know the Trax 0-60 times are nto too accurate, but then it was showing 7.0-7.5 for Civic Type R's, 8 secs odd for Fiesta RST etc. Into 1st, green light and off i went, bit of wheelspin (very hard compond front tyres, terrible traction), feathered the throttle, into 2nd n 3rd and on the brakes. Donna comes over, 6.13 0-60 So realistically i reckon im looking at about a 6.8 ish
Also was a bad boy and bought a brand new out Bailey header tank at a nice £105 (no VAT ) so i sahll be fitting that soon. The shiney bits are coming slowly but surely.
On the whole, had a fantastic day, cheers to the orgenisors for the stand, and roll on Trax2004, i shall be there, on track again 
(PS, twin engined 2.0litre tubro nova broke the 0-60 record at 2.81 seconds!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!)

Cheers Trotty Garry took loads of me going round the track. I'll post them up when he's uploaded them to the pc.
Ants - Yeah it done that time but it actually went to 2.81 as well.
CorsaNut - Yeah Donna had to drive it in because I had to run to my briefing.

Sounded good pity the top shows are so far away.
That 0-60 time for the twin-engined nova is fcukin rapid, I watched a prog on m&m the other nite and the 0-60 record for a road car was 3.07secs from the dynalynx Audi them 3.37secs for the twin-engined golf that puts the Nova as the fastest road legal car on UK roads.

how much would it cost to get a twin engined corsa? Not that i would ever have that much money, but just out of interest. Imagine knowing you had one of the fastest cars in the country, it would be amazing!

Was a superb day, somewhat marred by a three-car-pile-up with 3 cars that were supposed to be on the stand we were on (CC), one shunting the middle car into the one I was passenger in right outside the gate in the morning (brand-new CTR which needs a new front-end, written-off AX GT (folded chassis - they really don't make those cars very strong, fibreglass bumpers or not), new-shape Clio with extremely-minor rear-bumper damage (hardly noticeable, unless you look closely)).
Not the best start to the day, spent a few hours getting that sorted......the CTR and AX GT got taken home on a flat-bed, the Clio was on the stand (hardly damaged, really).
Apart from that, a superb day......the weather held all day, we were on a half-decent stand. And, at the end, managed to watch a superb track-session, with a few M3's showing how not to take a corner in a straight line, aswell as a rocket-fast Corsa (black one, anyone know who's this is and what spec it is?)...
And I wish I'd seen that twin-engined Nova pull the 2.83 0-60 time, I think I saw the car off the track, though (was it a black one, split left-right exhausts, and WIDE rims?

I knew i'd get some of the usuals coming back with those kinda comments Aye, ITR must have been fucked, both of em that were in front of me, on video, with me getting past one of em and catching the other.
Why would i want to take a corsa on track, why would 2.0litre Nova boys want to do the same also? A little jealous??
Ade, u got the white 200SX S13? See one of those tailsliding round the complex, on vid too
A complete wicked day, and i've just had a look at my header tank and put it up against the old one, gonna look goooooooooood

Yeah, i wanted to be on my own, so on lap 2 i slopwed down to the back of the group and let everyone go on a bit. Left it a while and back on the throttle again. Caught the group back up and over took a few. No way i was gonna catch that Porkie GT3 or 200SX, let them past
Nahhh, seriously, it was deffo a great experience, i took my car to its current limits, it survived, as did i, and i loved it loved it loved it
