defo add our thanks to marco for the organisation of this event. As I said before it is somewhat frustrating to have the car there but not run it on the track but the interest shown in the car was really good. There were as usual some stunning cars there and some very competant/fast/sensible drivers there showing the crowds what the Z is about. Once again driver of the day from my point of view has to go to Rob Gaskin for taking a pretty standard 240Z running on SU carbs and showing most people the way to go. Even steve francis seemed to have trouble overhauling rob.
The array of cars was surely a feast for eyes from the standard to the show cars with stunning paint and chrome jobs. They outshone the japfest girls all day. hope to see some of you at gurston on the june weekend.

Yes great day Madmarco thanks and you even held the rain off for us!
I had to get away straight after the track session because my lad (who drove the first session) was at a party in Nottingham at 7pm.
Kind words Ben thanks. Tbh I think I was holding Steve up a little bit but he denied it saying his tyres were 'cooked' from the session immediately before ours. He had eight sessions I only had the one so I wasn't going to let him spoil it was I?
Simon gave us a bit of excitement, that car is quick in a straight line (and spins well too).

The pleasure was all mine. I'm just glad I had a chance to give something back to the club! Track time was the highlight of the day for me, nothing like tearing around the track with two 240's chasing you down!
Cant wait for 2009!

Great day out me & Ben loved it.
Rob Gaskin can drive that 240z its a very quick car and the battle with the V8 240z was fantastic to watch.

Yep, they both got by but then Mr Irons lost first and third gear which mad it a bit easier to pass him back! Only car that passed me all day was Rob in the red 240.

I think he passed everyone who went on track. The battle with the lancer was awesome. That guy was absolutely banging that motor into every corner to try and stay with the little red & black Z, screeching away like mad. If he didn't have the luxury of traction control and stability management then he'd of gone off plenty of times. Goes to show that all the power in the world means sod all when you're up against an incredible driver.
