Many thanks to Tony and JBT and the rest of the volunteers for a great day!!

Now for the d**k head of the day award, goes to ME!!!
Told SWMBO that I'll have to do somethings to the car as I'm so far off the pace it ain't funny (can\"t drive for sh*t but thats me) so this morning take the beast out of the shed and bugger me what do I find,

1; a/c is on (whoops)
2; NEVER trust an aircraft engineer to repair your cruise( might be good at fixing planes but can't make brackets to save his life)
Found that the bracket bent up under WOT and jammed the throttle at 3/4 and wouldn't allow full throttle, ok under normal driving but no good for track days!!!!

Still my own silly fault for not checking before track day, :oops:

so down to Mazda on Monday to order new bracket and cable.
Still had a ball, and come June hopefully MIGHT be able to better times.
Thanks to Gerard and Danny for helping a newbie, much appreciated!!

Thanks again to all who ran such a great day.

Terry

Leigh Granger, a mate from work who was out at the track day for a couple of hours, has given me a dvd with photos of our track adventures.

There is 305, yes that right 305 images of mostly MX5's running on the track, including a smoking is a wealth hazard and how to spin and scare yourself and the poor buggar behind you.

I'm currently trying to down load some shots and will post when I figure out how to work my daughters laptop.

You must register as a club member and then log in to get into the \"Track Data\" area of the \"Club Runs/Events\" section. BTW, you're too fast :mrgreen:

Thanks John I'll check it out, my times improved abit all thanks to Vak82's semis I borrowed...made a huge difference, wouldn't even been close if you had similar tyres on.
