First Trackday in Atom at Croft inc Video

Nice to meet you John

Croft is a weird one for Atoms.............bit too bumpy and way too far north. Did it in the Clio last year and it is fantastic, but all the Atoms there, (Andy Smith and Paul Donkin etc) said it was horrific in an atom. Glad you liked it though

just watched the Vid and a good effort for a first time. I sat in with Andy Smith in his round there and he was 120-130 mph through Jim Clark and Barcroft, mostly sideways.
Quite an experience in fact...................he makes it slide round the bends on Avon ACB10's. Not sure how quick the lap was, but it was mental fun.
as I recall, complex is 4th, then 3rd and hairpin is 2nd in a 300. dunno though.....never tried it myself.

I did it 4th, 3rd and hairpin 3rd. It still took off like a scolded cat!

The car i was following wasn't a Westfield as i thought but a MK Indy. I got a couple of pics of it.

Hi George,

You had realised that we are at croft on Sunday.  If it is raining I will take the Subaru:- Atom's, wet tracks and me don't mix. 
Yes it was me on Monday just had a little run out and ended up at Croft. Had to leave early though was thinking of trying to blag a few laps.
