Arnold Posted August 17, 2015 Share Posted August 17, 2015 (edited) My photos will be online soon, give my page a like at http://www.facebook.com/alanarnoldphotography I quite like Rockingham as a circuit, but loads of improvements needed as a venue for an event like this, especially the view of the track. Nice to meet a few of you guys yesterday too Edited August 17, 2015 by Arnold Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Flaminsam Posted August 17, 2015 Share Posted August 17, 2015 Thanks guys! Also thanks to all staff that made it happen. I agree rockingham is a terrible set up. Can't see the track, stand areas not properly marked out and poor marshalling. Plus that bloody cerwin vega stand! No wonder the swift owners left early! Quote Link to post Share on other sites
aleximport25 Posted August 17, 2015 Share Posted August 17, 2015 (edited) yeah the venue needed work, my god the wasp situation was doing my head in, especially since my little boy wiped a haribo on my t-shirt.the event marshal was a complete tail, but thanks socks for standing up for our ploti dont mind a bit of depth to my music but that shitty mondeo needed the amp wires cutting Edited August 17, 2015 by aleximport25 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Idrees Posted August 17, 2015 Share Posted August 17, 2015 my god the wasp situation was doing my head inshitty mondeo needed the amp wires cutting Precisely.Awesome day nevertheless, thanks to all admin for organizing I noticed everyone on track had to do two warm up laps, therefore there were less accidents. I thought that was good because 80% of my track time at Donnington was wasted last year, usually due to a numpty in a Honda crashing. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Willow Posted August 17, 2015 Share Posted August 17, 2015 Yay!! Had a good time but I think I picked the wrong one to come to as my first big show haha! Met a lot of people though which was nice, and everyone asked me why my car wasn't there hehe, but my car will hopefully be at JAE lol!! Looking forward to seeing some photos!

LukeSR Posted August 17, 2015 Share Posted August 17, 2015 Thanks to all the members on the stand, shame about the idiot marshal that wouldn't listen though and that silly max power stand!! Nice to see new and old faces as per! Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Socks Posted August 17, 2015 Share Posted August 17, 2015 I was going to chin that parking marshall. Proper cock that bloke!Wasn't our fault they gave us an A3 piece of paper sized stand to park 70 cars on. Track was good, the in-field is better then I thought tbh!Enjoyed it hugely! Until our good friend Mr/Bussey got lost at the start of the pit lane and had to get recovered the last 8 meters of it, red flagging the session for 10mins! Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Hou Posted August 17, 2015 Share Posted August 17, 2015 I was going to chin that parking marshall. Proper cock that bloke! The point where he started going "alright, calm down" and having small man syndrome, was the point I had to walk away, because after only 3 hours sleep, I was ready to chin him too!

Chris_14a Posted August 17, 2015 Share Posted August 17, 2015 So thats who it was ha.Just want to say sorry to the two black ep82's who was behind me when I had a meeting with the grass in my subaru incase I sprayed dirt everywhere.

mark-tozer Posted August 17, 2015 Share Posted August 17, 2015 I was in one of the black ep82s seen parked with the trailer in the pits. I've got you on video going on the grass. I'll post it up once it's been edited. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Bluebear Posted August 17, 2015 Share Posted August 17, 2015 Was a good chance to see a lot of faces, somehow missed having a chat with Amjad AGAIN! Was brilliant to see so many Starlets on track, just a shame about the track viewing facilities.And that bloody Cerwin Vega stand.... I was seething as trying to listen to people (for me) was absolutely pointless!! Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Chris_14a Posted August 17, 2015 Share Posted August 17, 2015 I was in one of the black ep82s seen parked with the trailer in the pits. I've got you on video going on the grass. I'll post it up once it's been edited.Great lol. Not really proud of that . Was my first time ever out in the car so wanted it as abit of a shake down. Need a few bits tho one of my tyres split it was that old didnt do bad for a stock car I have you on video drifting your starlet towards that civic on the first lap Got stuck behind a other scoob who wouldnt move over. Let me know when the video goes up Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Yorke Posted August 17, 2015 Share Posted August 17, 2015 I was the other black quad light 82 behind you Chris. You wasn't the only person to have a shady moment on track in front of me and mark, civic ran wide on a hairpin and I had to anchor up pretty hard.As said, show was pretty below par. Club stands poorly spaced all over. Not enough catering options leaving umbareable queues. I was first to park on the in-field for track time and nobody could tell me where to park. Etc etc Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Chris_14a Posted August 17, 2015 Share Posted August 17, 2015 (edited) I have that on my video was it a silver one.Yeah apologise mate was abit embarrasing to be honest as I have never come off track. First time ever in the car and my tyres where on there last legs. Got a 2 inch split in one where the rubber has give up. Just caught me Show set out was crap and to get to the track was a nightmare Edited August 17, 2015 by Chris_14a Quote Link to post Share on other sites
akyakapotter Posted August 17, 2015 Share Posted August 17, 2015 (edited) track was fun glad my ksprts work well locked right up or i was having a meeting with the grass. Corner came up quicker than i expected haha Edited August 17, 2015 by akyakapotter Quote Link to post Share on other sites
