sjmmarsh Posted April 20, 2007 Share Posted April 20, 2007 I auctioned a day of passenger rides at a charity event last year and the winner of the auction particularly wants to go to Cadwell. I have secured a Blue session for Monday. I am hopeful that they will be able to blag rides in some of the other cars there, to give them a view of what different types of 7s are capable of; any takers? Will the fact that she is 19 and drives a Cooper works S make a difference to the uptake? Red (slick) sessions should be no problem for her. Martin P has already said yes - any others?

Delbert Posted April 20, 2007 Share Posted April 20, 2007 Steve, As Zena now seems to want to let me play, I can offer the Full Fat experiance in the intermediates , preffereably in the afternoon Derek If at first you don't succed Sky diving is not for you Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lucky Pierre Posted April 20, 2007 Share Posted April 20, 2007 No problem. I'll be there with the missus (her first time coming to a track day) but if other people are happy to take her out in the afternoon then I'll have a spare seat. I'll be the black supersport, but more easy to spot as the slowest person in the red session! Simon Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MartinP Posted April 20, 2007 Share Posted April 20, 2007 Hi Steve, Look forward to meeting up with you on the day. I'll be in the Kawasaki green SLR in the red group but no slicks I'm afraid ☹️. Still only got 4 point harnesses . Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sjmmarsh Posted April 20, 2007 Author Share Posted April 20, 2007 Thanks for the offers guys. I'll try and pick you out early in the day. She is coming over around 10am as passenger rides are not allowed on the first session. I have a cadbury purple SV (C7RSV) and am 6'4", so not hard to miss!

sjmmarsh Posted April 23, 2007 Author Share Posted April 23, 2007 Many thanks to Martin, Chris and Neil for giving Sarah a passenger ride. She enjoyed all of them (despite being half petrified at times) and commented on the different lines and driving styles each of you had. Apparently the best bit of advice I had given her on my stint was the purpose of the cones around the track - this gave her confidence that you did know where you were headed, despite looking like you were headed off the track! Delbert & Pierre - sorry that we didn't get round to you. Steve Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lucky Pierre Posted April 23, 2007 Share Posted April 23, 2007 No probs. I did look out for you! After Mrs Pierre went home, I was looking for passengers to give me extra grip in the wet. It was slippy out there Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Delberts Wallet Posted April 24, 2007 Share Posted April 24, 2007 The problem with having a passenger to improve rear end grip is that it tends to induce underster...eh Mr Pierre Gareth Blue and Carbon 6 Speed 1.8 Supersport here Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
neilg Posted April 24, 2007 Share Posted April 24, 2007 Gareth, I find passengers make for a very stable car when on the grass *redface* *nono*Thanks for leaving all my kit by the way. Cheers Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Delberts Wallet Posted April 24, 2007 Share Posted April 24, 2007 Had too shoot off and you were out on track at the time. Hope it didn't get too wet. Gareth Blue and Carbon 6 Speed 1.8 Supersport here Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MartinP Posted April 24, 2007 Share Posted April 24, 2007 It was my pleasure Steve. As we said, it was a little bit slower along the straights but compensated by being a bit more stable round the corners. She was as good as gold and hardly moved, only thing I noticed was a slight shuffle the first time we went into the fast left-hander at the end of the start / finish straight. Good to meet you too and hopefully we'll meet up again in the future. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lucky Pierre Posted April 24, 2007 Share Posted April 24, 2007 Well imagine how many times i'd have been off if you hadn't been acting as ballast! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
