Oulton Park 18th Nov

**AlexGTT** · 17-11-2008, 06:04 PM

Anybody else at Oulton Park for a trackday tomorrow? I did a last thing booking today cos I've been strong armed by a mate and he's promised the weather is OK tomorrow. Got a little bit left on the cups, so figured I use them up before getting a new set for Spring.

Bet is pisses down all day.

My mate's there with his drift Nissan 200SX turbo-thingy...

It's got a 2-way diff and knackered rear tyres he tells me, so look out for him doing a lot of this round the twisty bits...

His name's Dave. If you get chatting to him, say Paul with the M3 says hello

I'm at Oulton this Saturday punishing my rear tyres on a drift day. Serve's 'em right for wimping out on me in the Alps.

Be Nice to meet you elliot!

Yeah, I'm there from daft-o-clock till about 5. Few other chaps with M3's, plus my old track E36 will be there, though I hear it's been upgraded a fair old bit since I sold it!

I'll be spinning off on most bends as my rear tyres are like slicks at the moment

My girlfriend's heading down later in the day so I'll chuck my spare rear wheels in her motor the night before, just in case. Just won't mention it to her...

This you playing piggy-in-the-middle then matey?

**AlexGTT** · 20-11-2008, 01:26 PM

Yep, that would be me. Should have come over to say hello. Was with a few freinds with VX220, PY E46 M3, clio, etc. Track was a bit green for my bald rear Cups but when I got some heat into them they went ok. I was being very careful on the exits though. Was a bit short of traction out of the shaded corners.

Oh well, a good opportunity to get the most out of my Cups. By the time it was tucked up in the garage at home the rears were just about full slicks!

That's a busy year of trackdays now over. Looking forward to 2009 already.

I wasn't there myself - that's a photo someone took of my mates red 200SX, and I just noticed the CSL in the background.

I'm on a drift day this Saturday at Oulton to finally see-off my bald rear tyres

Did you have a good day?

I didn't make it over sadly - had to go to the office instead
