I have been watching the weather for Wigan all week before deciding to make the longish trip up tomorro to have a play.

This will be my first visit this year as the track was shut for a while earlier in the year due to "financial difficulties."

 

Its unusual to find another 300 there but thats fine with me there will be plenty of other track minded cars and owners there.

 

Event hosted/featured as follows..................................

 

Saturday 12th August - 'Track Attack Featuring 2Rude2Cruise' - Public can take their road legal cars on track from 10 am, please bring your licence on the day and MOT for the car, full face helmets for hire if you don't have one. £20.00 for 10 laps or £50.00 for 30 laps.

 

The mental image I have of Skunky Fi and co turning up for a "2Rude2Cruise" hosted event is funny to contemplate:lol::lol::lol:

I hope you've polished your helmet Pete! Have fun matey, stay safe [emoji106]

Thanks Joel.

I am looking forward to it. I will try and stay safe although I have had a previous "off track" experience at Three sisters:scared:

I did wash the car this afternoon... No polish tho:thumbdown:

also checked fluid levels and tyre pressures.

Just been out and topped up £40 worth of V power. The fuel must work as I nearly lost the back end exiting the service station back on to the road:innocent: I got a bit sideways in the middle of a two way road. There may have been some horns beeped I was too busy trying to straighten up to notice:lol:

Have a good one Pete and stay safe.

Back home from a good day. I managed to dodge the odd shower and did my usual three 10 lap sessions. The first session I had the track to myself which was great to re familiarise myself as I havnt been since late last summer.

I had a very small "exceeding track limits" moment in a busy 3rd session. The inside of the final downhill 90 right had a small damp patch which I caught on one lap and it spat me out over the LHS kerb with both left wheels...:scared: I managed to collect it all and keep it pointing forward but it was close.

Driver error ... the car is behaving beautifully and I did receive some complementary remarks from a few others there which is always nice:thumbup1:

Nice one pete glad you had a good day mate

Nice one pete glad you had a good day mate

 

It was pretty quiet in the morning. The closure for a few weeks has had a negative effect. Plus its a Sat morning in August. Some are working others away on holiday maybe??

 

There is another Track attack date in September........

A couple of pics have surfaced on Facebook.

As you can see it was a quiet morning there.

 

I have come to the conclusion that there is no point in starting a new thread when I go out to play as nobody else plays with me.

So i will just add it on this thread..............................

Saturday 16th September is the next TA featuring Modifed North West.

 

Im only making the long trip if the weather looks dry...ish|

Perfect weather for playtime today at Three Sisters. Track attack.

One of my playmates took this picture of us lining up for some fun. John(his picture) runs the pug GT which is parked behind me and behind him is our mutual friend Craig in his Toyota GT86 track modded version.

 

Your Z looks so different compered to the other racers Pete.

I think most of us at Three Sisters are "wannabe" racers rather than real ones!!.

My car is not well suited to the small tight track but its the only one I have so i just use it.

Craig's toyota GT is a similar concept to mine. Check out the photo.

I have added a couple of mine too...:biggrin:

 

You are a racer Pete and a great advertisement for the club mate.

LOL!! well I will take a compliment wherever I can get one.:biggrin:

In truth the car does attract attention at Three sisters . I had some good compliments on my track performance and some interest in the car/spec/build etc.

I cant compete with the hundreds of pictures posted on the club forum of the European Grand Tour:whistling:.... but I have found another FB image from a different photographer of me at Three Sisters this weekend........................:thumbup1:

 

 

I quite like the "artistic effect" created by poking the camera thru the mesh netting LOL!

This one is taken at the end of the "long pit straight"!!! :biggrin:
