Had a fantastic day - and a nice drive back! It took us about 6 hours to get back up the road - Hilux and Trailer with car - looked like it could have taken some a lot less time!

Cracking drive back, it's like having two mad dogs, as soon as a train comes along off they go, and then the rest of us dafties join in. Saturday night was great, the patter was brilliant, I hope Tommy didn't eat too much on Sunday(we all know he likes kids portions). Special thanks to Issy & Gemma for the hospitality on Sunday, perfect as usual. Hope the Monday squad get home safely. |

Aye.
Good run up the road. I liked the train racing at Beatock, reminded me of my old dog who used to chase trains when ever she saw one as well |

"No hanging back then accelerating, don't drop behind the tail car (a fully specced Range Rover - as was the lead car) don't over-take the lead car, and oh yes, we are limited to 70mph" Then, as soon as the lead car hit the down ramp onto the track he floored it, disappeared into the distance, and I never saw him again until we stopped for pictures! Pure Class |

I've lost count of the amount of times i've headed down south for weekends armed up with wet weather gear on the strength of a long range forecast only for it to be at least fair and sometimes as far out as being sunny with blue skies. |

My driving wasn`t that bad was it Duncan ?
Craig, I`m meeting Graham and a few others at Tebay 11.30, so you`ll probably see them there before we pass. (there`ll be an E60 M5, E39 M5 and a couple of E46`s) |

You park up and display as normal with the region. You are then called via tannoy announcement to assemble for the track. You are briefed by Gaydon staff on the rules on the track and then off you go. You then return to the stand. FWIW I would not recommend the track excursion to anyone. I felt it was mind-bogglingly dangerous and is ripe for disaster at some point. That many cars so far in excess of 100mph in close proximity with varying performance and driver experience/skill can't be a good thing. I know many folk have been on and enjoyed themselves and nothing has gone wrong yet but I've never been that concerned in a car before and would certainly not do it again. |

as Dunc said all scottish region cars need to be there no later than 7.30am, if you're not in by that time they won't let you down to the display area.
marshalls have a briefing @ 7.30am 7.00am depart from hotel will give us plenty of time to get there and park the cars up before the masses arrive |
