Rachael Posted May 4, 2004 Share Posted May 4, 2004 Well what fun Moomin and I had...it rained, the wind blew, it rained some more and it was blooming freezing ☹️ Top day out - when can we do it again? 😬 Congratulations Geoff - fifth in class in that weather was a top achievement Did I mention it rained?

GTD Posted May 4, 2004 Share Posted May 4, 2004 Did it rain? I was too to notice! Thanks Rachael, Dave, Dan and Rebecca for coming along! And what a fine post race pint that was! Very eventful day - shame about the qualifying incident and John's damaged car - I was lucky to end up with just a damaged front wing. Late in the day I found out that the third car involved (the one I was overtaking) was a chap doing his very first race! A baptism of fire and water! All in all, I am glad I did the race and a least I can now say I have raced in the rain without losing it - my only previous truly wet race was a spin-a-thon of the highest order!

Dannyboy Posted May 4, 2004 Share Posted May 4, 2004 Cheers Geoff, was a good day, apart from Rain... ☹️ Well done for not spinning it off into the wilderness, many others did later during the day in better conditions!!! Nice to meet you Rachel and Moomin 😬 😬 Weather actually cleared for a roof free Blat home to the coast for us too 😬 😬 😬 😬 😬 Dannyboy - *tongue*finished the rebuild Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rachael Posted May 4, 2004 Author Share Posted May 4, 2004 Yes, we were a tad annoyed, because by the time we got back to my Parents - about 20 minutes away, it had stopped raining and the sun was shining...we did think about coming back...but thought it might still be raining at Brands, so decided to stay in the nice dry, warm house instead 😬 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

db Posted May 4, 2004 Share Posted May 4, 2004 Sounds like a great day out. when I looked out of the window yesterday, it was definitely not a 7 day here... (although it could do with some rain to get the mud off from Fri, which definitely WAS a 7 day) My ... Preciousss! Member #109** Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GTD Posted May 4, 2004 Share Posted May 4, 2004 I'll pass on the comments to Angie - she is in an interwebthing-less office this morning - someone must have unplugged the wrong thing! She'll be along when they fix it! G 4 Geoff Leather Good - Carbon Fibre Bad 619 GTD here Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
deanteam Posted May 4, 2004 Share Posted May 4, 2004 Did someone already mention the rain Thanks Dan for dragging me out it that cold and wet weather ☹️ but I must admit I enjoyed it! Nice to have met you all and hope to see you soon again. GTD/Mrs GTD, see you again in June! 😬 Rebecca Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dannyboy Posted May 4, 2004 Share Posted May 4, 2004 Ooohh....First time in the sheds for Deanteam.... Now where's that welcome pack when you need it 😬 Dannyboy - *tongue*finished the rebuild Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GTD Posted May 4, 2004 Share Posted May 4, 2004 Rebecca - welcome to the sheds! Have you joined the 750Motor Club yet...? I think their welcome pack is not as good as ours though! G 4 Geoff Leather Good - Carbon Fibre Bad 619 GTD here Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mrs GTD Posted May 4, 2004 Share Posted May 4, 2004 Phew! Sorry I'm late; we've been having some trouble with the inter-web-thingy and have only just got it working. I'm prioritising my list of things to do and client e-mails to answer by ignoring them completely and visiting the sheds 😬 Thanks to Moomin, Rachael, Dannyboy & Rebecca for braving the snot & pestilence...erm..I mean wind & rain at Brands Hatch. GTD really enjoys having some friendly, Shedly faces around on race days. Luckily you all missed his accident in practice with John Schneider. Sadly for John, who was incredibly gracious, his car was quite badly damaged (so he told us), and he wasn't able to race. Application of some gaffer tape & cable ties got GTD up and running again, and IMO bravely racing in pretty horrid conditions. It was lovely to see Rachael & Dannyboy again, and a pleasure to meet Moomin & Rebecca. Let's keep our fingers crossed for better weather and more Shedders at Snetterton on 30th May. If we get any tickets we'll offer them again on a first come first served basis. Mrs GTD Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
deanteam Posted May 4, 2004 Share Posted May 4, 2004 Thanks for the warm welcome! 😬 GTD, no welcome pack at 750Motor Club?! Not even a malteser?! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dannyboy Posted May 4, 2004 Share Posted May 4, 2004 Hmmm, Snetterton I will try to get up there, an excuse to give my father a visit and give him a number of mechanical jobs for him to do on the Seven 😬 😬 😬 😬 Go careful with the gun Mrs GTD *idea* Dannyboy - *tongue*back in blat Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GTD Posted May 4, 2004 Share Posted May 4, 2004 Deanteam - I know, I was shocked - I was hoping that they were called the 750 Club because that was how many maltesers they give you when you join!

Mrs GTD Posted May 4, 2004 Share Posted May 4, 2004 GTD Thanks Dannyboy. Sounds like I'm needed in the thread over - someone's shooting tranquiliser darts, and it's not me Mrs GTD Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rachael Posted May 4, 2004 Author Share Posted May 4, 2004 I've just been to the shop and got loads of penny chews...anyone want any? Looking forward to Snetterton already - I might start sun-dancing now just in case! Rachael Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
buroz Posted May 4, 2004 Share Posted May 4, 2004 Some of us will be praying for rain tho... (at least for the grads race). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GTD Posted May 4, 2004 Share Posted May 4, 2004 If we could arrange wet for you and dry for me - might be a bit difficult for Rachael to work out the dance steps for that one, though!

buroz Posted May 4, 2004 Share Posted May 4, 2004 That would be perfect, as I'd ideally like a dry qualifying/testing. So perhaps it could rain during the Megas race. Rach, I shall expect to see you practicing these dance moves over the next couple of weeks. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GTD Posted May 4, 2004 Share Posted May 4, 2004 Buroz - it's getting complicated as I've realised that we are both in the Megas! Snett is my first race with the Grads this year! Rachael - you'll have to do your best - perhaps you could do half and half? G 4 Geoff Leather Good - Carbon Fibre Bad 619 GTD here Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
