We're camping
If you're going to eat, go into Attleborough itself, there's a good chinese or the Mulberry Tree hotel and pub is nice.
There's a great greasy spoon right in the middle of town for breakfast too

We won't be racing on 26th at Oulton, although we will be testing on the Friday (Mike, i doubt I will be in the Legacy).
The reason we aren't racing is because of the really poor way we were handled by a particular BARC official. A punch in the nose wouldn't go amiss.

We were out at a test day at Oulton today with the new engine. Great day & much the engine held up well. It actually appears so be a bit more powerful.
We also managed to get some lap timing in and to practice changing drivers. I managed a 2:10 and Lee a 2:11 (he timed one lap of mine at 2:08 which I don't believe). I have a broad feel that a good driver could knock 5-6 seconds off this and the next step must be to get some serious tuition. Unfortunately this can't be done at test days due to the no passenger rule and I might bring someone along to the s2k day in Nov.
I suspect we could be braver and get a smoother line through cascades, improve the exit out of the second chicane (which I did once and managed to hit the limiter in 4th by the time i approached druids).
There was some very interesting machinery there today including a race prepped GT40.
Test days are very good.
