Yeah it was great to meet everyone as well! It was great to catch up with Atomgirl, DP35, Karl, Atomatics and Nicholas, and meet new owners like Wayne and Thomas. I agree with DP35, the Atom is as much about the car as it is the friends you make.
Infineon was new to me, but it was a fantastic and very flowing and technical track. Weather was perfect and cool. I prefer this to Laguna...
The caravan with Hamster, Atomatics, and Nicholas was great and made this trip very special!

It was great to see some old Atom friends & meet some new ones. Although there weren't a lot of Atoms in attendance, a small group of Atom owners is a lot more fun than a large group of anything else. Another reminder of what makes owning this car great.
The highlight for me was when the combined genius of Karl, Fiesty, Hamster, & Thomas couldn't get Fiesty's Formula Renault to start - but then along came Chris with a hammer, and got 'er done.
Good times as always.

Well, we thought of everything and thought, why not give the starter solenoid a light tap. Was extremely relieved the car was able to run after that. Electrical issues one day, clutch issues the next, the FR is one temperamental SOB! On track its perfection, getting it started and rolling off is like going through hell!! Thanks Atomatics and Karl for helping out!
So where will WCA 4 be? Cant wait
