Brakes, gotta love them!

'Well, that was epic!' Nick screamed from inside his helmet.

'Yes, having brakes is a good thing' retorted Mark in wide eyed wonderment.

That was the end of the first track day with the brakes functioning properly. It was a sunny Thursday evening and it had been a good couple of months since we had been on track. It's easy to forget how much fun it is throwing a 26year old pig round a race track.

The pig was finally starting to trouble some of the more expensive machinery and now, thanks to a combination of brakes and tires we were fairly fast through the corners (but still a little out of touch on the straights).

Having the brakes work gave us so much confidence to hold on to the last second before stamping (re: progressively applying) on the brakes and chucking the old girl into the apex.

The bug was back and had bitten hard. We booked on for another track day in a weeks time.

Here is a video of the first time out on the new brakes, a little tentative, but it had been a while since we had been out on track :)
