This is a great wee kart track and has one of the most fun corners called the "corkscrew" and worth a shot just for the hell of getting the line right :)

The RX-8 will be out again, now with replaced drop links which failed at Fintray !
Now have the optimum tyre pressures for the race Kumho rubber and am hoping it gets me a fast first timed run so I can then tune the rest in .
This is a great spectator sprint track with good facilities and excellent whisky collection in nearby hotel :)
So come on folks, not often we get chances for Scottish get togethers. A wee drive to this will take in some of the best roads on the planet :)
QuoteProvided I can get a mobile phone connection I will upload times after practice and again after all timed runs. If the connection is ok I\'ll maybe post them after each timed run.
You can view the times at //www.scotresults.co.uk/golspie040611.html (Saturday) or //www.scotresults.co.uk/golspie050611.html (Sunday)
If I can\'t get a mobile signal I\'ll simply post the results when I get back to the hotel on Saturday and when I get home on Sunday
If I get time I\'ll also do some tweeting so that you can get any gossip!! //www.twitter.com/scotresults My tweets are also featured on the front page of my website ( //www.scotresults.co.uk )
Interesting ... do other autosolo/sprint/hillclimb competitors have real time results ??
well done,second place today ,brill and RX8 rules good.
wow!!! , good news again, came seconds out of 8 cars A2 class.
well done peter. very pleased for you;)
Well done Peter, great result, and only beaten in class by a guy who set a new record I see!
Nice, good job. Congrats :)
Cheers guys, thanks.
yeah Casey not only is Sandy a good driver but his "production class" car has a JUDD race engine in it and is "legally" lightened.
But Sandy claims class records at every event he turns up to.
Shared drive with a friend who is currently "car-less" after she shunted her Saxo.
She took the description "rotary" the wrong way :) and spun it on her last run.
I take some of the blame as I was talking her up to getting JUST one second faster on her run and we\'d have had the RX-8 sitting 2 and 3 :( Feel bad I pressured her too much !
hee-hee, is it bad of me to post up vid of friends spin ? :)
Of course it is, but fun !!!
