This is pretty

Clearly some talented wallets here today.

The dildo of consequences rarely comes lubed. Fortunately the package Charlie got off Amazon came with its own supply. That SBFS tunnel accessory is excellent for storing things like that. That car will have a hat trick of knobs when the owner turns up later.

Yellow accents look lovely on this Caterham. He loves yellow.

You mean you took time from your valuable cocktail 12 hours at an all inclusive resort in Jamaica? Good Gravy Mon, get back to your drinking!

We just polished off the usual spectacular lunch. Track day luxury for the participants. Driver fails are a pretty lengthy list this year: 1) Simon corded his tires. Two spins on track. New tires installed. 2) Paul failed tech on 6 year old tires since manufacture. Now running used Miata race Hoosiers that TJ scrounged up. 3) Vlad lost a center cap off his wheel - super rare. He’s out with the track director looking for it in the grass. The tech instructions did say remove center caps… 4) Des failed tech on no battery tie down. No covers for the battery terminal. Too high for roll bar (seat base now removed). No long sleeves so he is now wearing my hoodie. 5) Blake has delaminated his fronts - now the great tire switcheroo is underway. 6) Graham broke a throttle lever on track in the last session and spent time chatting to the turnn2 track Marshall. - TJ is doing a weld job right now. …and it’s only 1.30pm on Day 1! Track is in great condition. Other open wheeler drivers are being nice. Weather is warm and sunny/overcast. Perfect.

Driver briefing ongoing.

Tech inspection is under way. 5 year tire rule catching flak this morning.

Marking its territory this morning.

Thread locked and migrated to a new photos thread. Will migrate Charlie's photos across.

yes. Green Olive in Vineland for Thursday night dinner. No idea on timing other than not before 6pm. We will probably be the usual tardy leaving my garage and migrating there.

Works also if your Caterham decides to become the Exxon Vladez and have a major oil leak in the pit garages.

Is is still in date and charged? They lose effectiveness over time.

No thanks to me. It is all @Slonie who deserves the credit. Plus @JohnCh deserves credit for shepherding the contest and now making it ready to roll out on this site. I'm just lost in London again this week.

I have just had an email from the Drivers Club coordinator noting that the numbers are not healthy for running an event. We have 6 cars Friday and 7 cars Saturday registered. If you want to attend then now is the time to sign up. It was two years ago we had low numbers signed up and they cancelled us because everyone was frightened of rain. Turned out a beautiful weather day. You have been warned - NJMP will cancel the event early if you do not sign up. Thank you to all of you that have registered (and I can see who has) - your support and enthusiasm is much appreciated.

Then on to Dijon-Prenois Circuit

To visit Mas Du Clos Circuit, I stayed in Aubusson nearby. Still plenty of interesting cars to check out.
