lots of near death experiences + a hell of a lot of fun!!  It really is hard to put into words how nakered my shocks were. The rear wheel could be seen to be still bouncing going down the straights apparently! Oh well, I had fun! More piccies on the way later |

and the sequence...      Note the lack of distance travelled between photos 2 and 3. Look at the cones, although the car has spun 90 deg, it's barely actually moved! It basically spun in mid air about the drivers side front corner! Basically, my rear shocks were curse word. The right rear wheel could be seen to be bouncing up and down on the spring still....... whilst driving down the straights!!!!! Just took a ton of curb, the line was fine as was the entry speed (for a car with rear shocks), but with no damping on the back end the rear end just basically bounced up and down on the spring after hitting the curb and just lost control. In photo 2 you can see that it's already gone pearshaped and the back end is coming round alread! I'd have loved to do the day again with a well set up car as I was catching some people with more powerful cars through the twisty bits despite the shocks |

Spectators have told me that there was a point when all four wheels were briefly off the floor! Did 'n 'alf come down with a bump too!! Funniest thing is, that without dampers it just bounced straight back up again!! Couple of others from different laps:   Again, massive kudos to Dave for the photos. Top work. |
