Brands Hatch Indy 27/10/2009

Had a really good day at Brands today, would have loved to have had the superdan cam on board again, would have been nice to have had a follow up vid of me caning all the inters this time too

Got black flagged one lap before the end of the last session before lunch for "Pulling a Schnauzer" as I think it's now known, formally known as the Northern overtake. Overtook a few people round the outside of druids and apparently I came too close to somebodys line, I didn't even realise I had done it as I'd never intentionally do so, obviously a misjudgement on my part.

The instructor was pretty alright about it and once he'd given me my "official" bollocking as he put it he told me I should move up to the fast group Real Men Ride Naked Twins baby!

I then got him to follow me round in the 2nd session after lunch and he said I rode really well and had nothing bad to point out just keep doing what I'm doing but get some better tyres for track if I want to go faster, apparently I was leaving black lines on the track when he was following me round paddock hill and had him worried round clearways cause of the lean angle but I knew they'd be alright, mainly cause I'd already got the back end sliding there earlier in the day so I'd already worked out how much power I could safely wind on and when.

I even overtook about 5 people in the fast group too so I was well happy overall but spare wheels and track scrubs for me next year I reckon, although that means I'll only be able to go to track days when I can get my paddock stands into somebodys van or I have to get a cheap van or car/trailer once I've sold my scooby but I don;t know if I can be arsed to deal with the maintenance on an old banger as wouldn't want to spend a lot of money on a vehicle as it would defeat the object of selling the other one in the first place.

Well pictures are up and there's like 60 pictures of me, some really good ones, so I think I'm gonna order the whole set as it's almost as expensive once you've picked a few anyway.

I copied em all onto my photobucket, here's the link

But here are a couple of favourite, I can see a signature banner coming soon

Got my Pics through so here's a few more, got to keep up with Klincky the track slapper after all

The Fast Group Shot


The Stupid Luke Look


The T-Shirt shot - Real Men Ride Naked Twins


The stop holding me up in the corners shots



The Clearways Sequence

Spot bollock on mate !!!!!

Those Clearways pics are great, though they had my arse twitching

Second pic down my fave, the t shirt gives the impression you had some lick on, which you prob were but pics dont always show speed. Nice work TJ.

It's one of my favourite corners anywhere.
