Top day, I love that track, awesome!
Great to see so many S2000s there - would love to make it more for the next one.
Nice to see biker1's brilliant car again - Nigel, I hope you got the misfire sorted?

Great day, probably one of the best BaT days i've been on. Track was brilliant, weather was too, met some new and old faces, and the car didn't blow up 
I think all the S2000s came away in one peice too 
Never seem to find enough time to chat to people, but nice to see everyone and loads of faces to names.
Long drive home, but worth it...
Time to think about the next one

Really great day, good to see faces old and new.
Fabulous weather once again, with the S2Ki weather gods smiling upon us.
Had a lot of fun going on, and giving passenger rides, I hope you all enjoyed those.
The day all went well until I approached the first speed bump on the exit road, cue loud graunching from the front brakes.
A quick inspection revealed not much pad left on the fronts, so (with huge thanks to Dave and Nigel for tools and mechanical assistance) we got the front wheels off and removed the pads. Here's the inside front left:
Oops.
Fortunately, I'd brought some spares along with me, so a quick change and off Dave and I went. The cross country route, with thanks to Welshman, (A5, B4501, B4391, B4396, B4393, A458, A5 again at Shrewsbury) was utterly brilliant, despite a couple of rain showers.
260 miles so far out of one tank, with 4 bars left.
This sort of day reminds me how utterly brilliant the S2000 is. Thrashed all day round the circuit, then a long drive home and not a beat missed.
Also worth reporting that since the timing chain was replaced, the car's hardly used any oil, including today
Very tired now
Got some great video footage of MB and CoolChris which will appear sometime soon-ish.

Ouch! Glad it wasn't a broken disk!
I shared the same thoughts going home, amazing cars these. The S2000s were reasonably quick today, and most took a fair bit of punishment... but then you just chuck your stuff in the boot and drive home
My route home was dull, but got in just after 9:30.
