Hey guys..

if you are running 032's or 048's make sure you take a spare set of tyres to get home with...

4 laps on my 032's and there was nothing left!

Yeah but tires don't wear out so fast when driving 'off road'!

I think ill just make my tyres bald(er) and change them afterwards

Are we to assume you got round the 'Ring in under 10 minutes?

9.50 cones to cones...

if it was not from a standing start it would have been much less.

There is some vid footage of me passing one out of two racing M3's and then running with them to the finish..

One of our runners paid £125 to charity to have a run out with me!

Can you prove this? Its very impressive since RingMini has done a 9.41, and he has 120bhp and more importantly knows the track as well as anyone. Maybe he did a longer track or something...? :)
