#Dave moran time to tidy up driver

McNaught was going well, as usual, in Roxy, his RX8. Smyth made a welcome return in his Ginetta G27, although it was to give him problems, once again, later in the day. GreenanвЂ™s supercharged Lotus Elise was phenomenally quick. After a few laps he returned to the paddock to take notes and make some adjustments, a pattern he repeated successfully throughout the day. Many eyes were on Leslie GrahamвЂ™s Crazy Clio, fitted with two bike engines! He was very circumspect and took it easy, testing all the systems on the carвЂ™s first outing. Red flag! Car stopped in a dangerous position.Дў restart. Better that it occurred in the queue than on the approach to Colonial One! It was a sudden lack of brakes! On inspection, we discovered a fluid leak near the rear left wheel. When the cars were leaving the pit lane to start session 2, Neil Campbell pulled out and returned his pretty Porsche Boxter to the paddock. Wilson was very quick in his very tasty BMW M3. Was great to see Robert Harrison back in his Clio Cup car that got wrecked after a roll at an event earlier in the season. McShane was a pleasure to watch in his MK2 Escort.

Good thing was that the leak was spotted and the driver didnвЂ™t blow his engine.ДЇinally got the first session run, half an hour late. Not helped by an errant brush (someone has the video!). The car was removed, revealing an oil slick of about three feet in diameter! Cue more time spent cleaning it up. We were almost ready to go when a mechanic from another car pointed out that there was fluid dripping from a Seat on the front row. The cars had all formed up on the track at the start/finish line. Lap of restart, red flag! Car hard into the barriers at MaguireвЂ™s Hairpin! Driver shaken but okay.

All of these clichГ©s could have been applied to our track day last Sunday 11 th October.ДЄll startedвЂ¦at the start! First session, first lap, red flag.
