Even with the 4 groups an hour, the day ran smooth - only one delay for some dumbass tv program (test car) for 10mins after lunch, another great outing with HOT :drive:
Good to meet McJazz amongst the visitors, hope to see you at Combe next year! I changed tyres 4 times during the day! At lunch the heavens opened and I decided to try the wet slicks, here is the first session after lunch, When the back end goes I normally try to wait for it to settle, here I think I should have planted the right foot, but I decided to cut some corn at 'Camp' corner instead...

YouTube - EK9 Combe 06-07-09 (Damp - spin)

This is the follow on straight after the off, I had manged not to stall, and normally they like you to come in to check the car after an off...

Just editing the next one - JDM battle with Bigskank! Seeing & hearing the two EK9's in full vtec was intoxicating, cant remember what system you have Matt but sounded great next to my puny 85db of Fujitsubo :D

Hi Chris good to meet you too, nice to see such a well sorted car. Next year hopefully if I ever finish the house lol. Video is good too Camp corner some place huh.

Two almost identical EK9's both with passengers. Bigskanks brake pads are worn (Spoon calipers), causing us to be braking/accelerating at different points at corners. Both cars have MFactory gearsets, I have the shorter of the two short fifth gears, his car also rocks a Spoon ECU.

Here is part one, Dunx is my passenger, turn up the sound! :nice:

The second vid to follow has me doing some 'ralleycross' & I believe 'sideways Pete' has footage following both EK9's :drive:
 
Mate you kept hold if that well nice steering control! But your right should have buried your foot! lol Easier said than done. :p
 
great vids :nice:

I was passenger in a spin like that in a '9 on Paddock at Brands last year. went right then left then right then left ended up backwards in the dip watching as all the caterhams porches and vxr220s swerved to avoid us! :drive:
 
AWSOME videos there Chris, the JDM Battle run had me rivited to the screen! Wicked to see a track that I know the layout of too, can't believe I missed this day.

Some real nice driving there though man!
