[ORIGINAL: Steve Brookes There should be a bit of time before we're allowed on the track for you to walk it. You can also come in my car when I do the initial low speed sweep of the circuit to check it's OK before we go live. I'm also aiming to jump in your passenger seat at some point to encourage you to go a bit faster [

]. Great to meet up with everyone again-special thanks to Kevin for being so polite about my place in the queue! Still quite hungry[&o]

Mike you're an absolute star. We are so lucky to have a fellow enthusiast that comes along to as many of these meets as possible and takes some lovely photos to remind us of a great day out. Thank you so much. [
] Here's some on Mike's site that I've linked to that give a real flavour of a brilliant day out: 
] It's difficult to compare the times to last year because we had very little dry running then but I must say that the times people put in this year were very impressive. Hats off to you all for really going for it...although I'm not speaking to Kevin now for nicking the C2 class on his last run! [] Once I've typed them all up I'll e-mail them out so you can all reflect on how you got on. Suffice to say that Chris W (964 RS ngt) topped the timed sheets but the battle for the other podium places was a very close fight [] The only blot on the day was the catering c*ck up - entirely their fault for forgetting us! But at least we got some drinks for the last couple of hours. Speaking of which, I only spent a portion of the included catering cost so have ended up with 50 quid still in the kitty. Rather than try to send you all £3.33 as a refund I propose that we give it to charity - so if anyone has a charity close to their heart (preferably with a just giving site), shout up and I'll send them the money on our behalf. Also, if anyone didn't get a 'Curburgring' [] sticker for their car, let me know (I have a couple spare in black or silver) and I'll send you one. I'll check what photos and video I have and post them up []
We do a shortened sprint where the start is level with the gate to the lower paddock. From there it's left round the loop, round the loop again and over the finish line. I run it this way so that folks aren't arriving at the turn in to the loop at such a speed that things could turn nasty if they got it wrong. Best was a 59 and a few of us were in the 60 to 62 range (haven't got the tenths to hand) I would say that you would have to add about 5 seconds if we had started at the proper start line. It was nice and dry.ORIGINAL: Melv And the times were???[
