heat HEAT man i was running for the shade in the stand lol, it was roasting out, and defo nice bit of talent over there, tink the ones on the EBR raceing stand in the black Gosh someone punch me lol, the track was good step up, the back section was nice for burn of for the tyres, yea i seen it when you came in on your first run, just you didnt grab it like ya did in quallifers but you did bloody savage to get it back,

what happen to the falken s15, looks like drive shaft after he spun

man the weekend was mad we were in the hotel down the roads, few lads who were in the qualifying rounds were stayn in the hotel, we were the only one's to have a bath tub full of beer with ice lol,

but going next year, ragn i didnt have the 14 over, we got invites to portugal and scotland too, but how car run for you? you were going through some amount of tyres

was in sanat pod on saturday as well

wehave video if you want them, taken from the stands

[bart]

fair shit that they wouldnt run the top places..
what way will this work???

[mArKo]

Fair play Carpo!

Was over in silverstone with johno, very impressive driving man! That car is amazing looking too

[EvojeepGal]

also good see danny, where ya not out drifting?

No I was out a couple of weeks ago in Llandow, and car still not running right so just as well!

what happen to the falken s15, looks like drive shaft after he spun

Its an S14 with S15 front Yea he noticed knocking from the rear end during morning practise so before qualifying he changed the shaft, just so happened the new one he put in shat itself anyway!

They had 5min rule and the marshall called 2mins left, then a few seconds later called time up as they only had one more bolt to tighten
They timed him from leaving the track which was also bullshit!

Was a great day out until the re run with Mark Luney & Phil Morrisson, Luney definately should have gone through after Phil cocked up in the centre transition and straightened/weakened his drift.
The crowd didnt all shout Luney for no reason! Id also say only for Phil "obviously" dipped the grass and pulled his bumper off he'd have probably went thru against Danny Eyles too

But delighted Declan made podium although i was looking forward to his battle with Phil, even though the car was running on 3.5cylinders all day, dunno how it lasted!!

@Marko: Wasnt sure if that was u there!! Sorry :P

[EvojeepGal]

My top half is still red and achin from sunburn!!
