Think you hit it there, chap. Some of the smiles should have been toothpaste adverts. Such a good feeling

Week old EBC Yellows, seem to improve the harder I pushed them.

Chaps and Chapettes,
That was a GREAT day! I wholly agree that those faces, squeaks, yelps, cheers, "whoah's" and general joy were amazing.
Two highlights for me... on very young girl (well inside single figures) who had my seat higher than I knew possible just sitting there totally chilled and then at the end calmly saying "that was amazing". Second went a bit like this:
Lady: "I'm scared! I'm really, really scared!"
Me: "That's alright. So how would you like me to drive this for you? Scare you whitless?"
Lady: "Oh, go on then!"
and she absolutely loved it!
Thanks for the sighting laps and everyone helping me allay my nerves of my first time ever on track. I was seriously nervous for my first few laps. I'm definitely slow into corners, but I'd rather that than over-cook it! And I hit 143 on the straight before lifting and early braking.
Zep - pleased to hear it.

Excellent choice - mine only have a few k on them, can't recommend them highly enough for track use. They really resist the fade...
He looks relaxed enough, arm on the open door...

As a 3200 Avid I just have to frame this one and bring it out when ever there is a comment about them being low loaded.
Couldn't even afford a low loader so went with a good old fashioned tow rope

Its that feeling you get when you know you have made someones day...
There was a young lady towards the end taking a picture of Adrian N430. She paid for a few rides through the day but failed to get a ticket for the Aston as we had stopped selling. She just took loads of picture and said it was her dream car...She just couldn't take her eyes off it and didn't want to leave.......So a wink to Adrian and he did one more lap for her.......Don't think I have seen anyone more excited.........'you have made my day, year and life'....never thought I would get a ride in my dream car' ........She just coule say thank you enough.............And after the lap.........Her face just said it all........
You all made dreams come true for people yesterday .......... Just priceless.....

Yep very true, had one gent who said he queued for my car just like the lad who queued for MAF's (2 years but never got in) and managed to get a lap but it was the lap where the clutch decided to let go! Hope next year he can go out with him as he was dead excited. I took him out in mine and he seemed to enjoy it but definitely had an soft spot for MAF! Thank God for the CRB checks

What a shame that ASDA attempted to put a cloud over the event with the nonsense about CRB/DBS checks. I only wish I'd realised on the day what was in the waiver forms and how they were being processed.
It's probably a good job that they will not be organising this event next year, as the waiver forms this year were considerably more invasive and onerous than previous years, and the lack of secure processing of these has opened up ASDA to astonishing risk of prosecution for many years to come.
I have here samples of the waiver forms, most of which Susie realised were asking for too much info, and managed to prevent punters fully completing and therefore limiting the exposure to ASDA as a corporation, but also to us as a club and private individuals. However, some are fully completed as ASDA clearly intended. What's wrong with that, you may ask? Well.... since such huge store was placed on having CRB/DBS checked people in the cars to guard against the ludicrous perceived risk of a driver at 100mph+ causing moral harm to a minor in a 1 minute lap, they might have thought about what to do with the reams of PII recorded on the forms by all the clubs. When ASDA representatives collected the money periodically through the day, they specifically refused to collect the completed waivers, stating that they were 'ours to keep'.
So - we have the situation where we and the other clubs have reams of personal data on hundreds of children (and adults), including names, addresses, postcodes, date of birth, phone numbers, signatures; all positive gold to the paedophiles the H&S fools at ASDA were looking to keep out.
At least we still have them, and I can deal with them appropriately. What did the other clubs do with them? Bin them at the circuit? Take them away to bin at home? Who actually has them now.... They must be securely disposed of, not dumped in a public bin, but whilst we have a stack of them here, we can't influence the other 90% of the forms in existence from the other gates.
It's a serious breach of data protection, contains masses of data likely to put hundreds of children at risk, (and adults of identity theft), and sufficient to have proper conversations with the ASDA legal department. I will do that via my contacts at the ICO next week.
For the record, I have the sheets in a safe, SportsMaserati and members at the event are not at risk. I will be handing them directly to the ICO in due course for them to decide what action to take.
You may take from this that my strongly held view is that when a clot treads on a charity day with heavy boots in a half-hearted style at the last moment, causing nothing but grief, they need to stand up and take responsibility for their frankly stupid and unnecessary intervention.
