My highlight was @Chris King - Webmaster and Joint North East AO and his finale doughnut wiping out all of the cones.

Now why didn’t @Paul Hurdsfield Catch that one on film. Much more like it 😁

Hope everyone had fun even with the dreadful weather.

A great fun day, regardless of the weather.

 

Was thrilled to actually manage, (sad I know), to manage a series of proper, tight spinning donuts round a fixed point. (Never really got it without drifting sideways last time I did one of these days.) Even managed to do it with hands off the wheel. Sadly however, i’ll Be beggered if I can do it round the actual cone(s) I’m supposed to be going round  I think I need another drift day/lot more practice to get my turn in point right, so I can donut round the damn cones next time, instead of just picking a spot of random tarmac!! 🤣🤪😱

 

A huge thanks to all the guys that worked so hard in appalling conditions to make it possible, I can’t say I really noticed the rain so much when in the car, but they had to stand out there working in it.

 

Now, where’s the nearest car park.... I need to practice.

Yep - exactly the same for me Dave - could do the donuts (eventually) but not go around anything anywhere near where I meant to be going! (well except when wiping out a bunch of Cones anyway)

Glad you all enjoyed the day.

 

Shame the weather wasn't better.. however like you say it's what you make of it.

 

I must say, i've tried to drift, Im awful. It was much harder than I anticipated.

 

Thank you to everyone who attended the day.

shows off his powerboating skills today at 3 Sisters.

 

 

Now you just need to translate those "driving fast in a circle" skills to the track! :D

Surprised you didn't get it almost right away Chris! Hopefully our paths will cross again sometime near a spot of open land so I can give you some more tips👌

I know! I clocked the donuts, just needed a tad more seat time and more aggression with the throttle 😁
