Thought I should get some of the pics from my camera up on here (mainly taken by my lovely girlfriend Jo who helped direct a fair few of you in to park!)

On the way down on Sunday morning, Brian (309) G (206) T16 (206)

 


Stopped at the services...

 


...and we noticed something hanging out of Brians front end! (sorry Brian haha!)

 


Nothing that a bit of sellotape couldn't fix though Laughing

Sunday morning joining the queues for FCS...

 


 


...and parking up at the gate with my new show plates (apparently the simplest plates they had made all day!)

 


A few quick shots of the info stand

 


 


 


Lining up ready to gear up for the parade lap

 


Starting to get organised in the pit lane

 


 


Leaving the pit lane

 


Out on track, with one of the best views behind me I'd ever seen Smile

 


 


Moving into single file to return to the pits

 


Returning to the stand

 



As I've said a few times now, I had a great time, and the parade lap made my weekend Very Happy

I had a marshal in the car with me during the 3 laps and was listening to race control the whole time, they were very pleased with our behaviour on track, was good to hear. I've read a few comments about the horn blasting going off on our laps, sorry to those in the stands that it annoyed, we had a good time though Laughing and the marshal next to me was enjoying it!

Oscars time now...

Thanks to Mikey for organising a lot of the FCS details, and thanks for getting the parade lap for us, I've read on a few other forums that we looked pretty organised out there.

Thanks to Brian and G for the convoy down, made the trip a bit more interesting!

Thanks to Dillon for helping with the marshalling, and for helping me out with the small area of overspray on my car!

Thanks to the guys on the BBQ, I believe we were the only stand that had that? Really nice of you guys to set that up again for the site, was brilliant. I never did get a cake though Sad

Thanks as well to Steve for helping get info back on its feet in January, was great to meet you at last bud.

And last, but by no means least, thanks to everyone that attended for 206info, was a great turn out and you did the site proud, I'm proud to have made it and I'm proud to have been a part of it. Thanks guys and girls.

Having read Cliosport's FCS summary & the parade laps (primarily about Saxp's behaviour), 206info did well on the parade lap - with the triple-lane being particularly impressive.

I was in the stands when the horn-blowing went past, it brought a smile to my face tbh Laughing

Great day I must admit, great to meet AJ & Jo! [as well as everyone else too!].

Other forums were slating the female 'presenter' announcing the Meguiar's final (and how grating her voice was) and the stunt driving (being the same as previous years), the general opinion is that it wasn't the best FCS to date - but it was for me, and for 206info!

Ha ha! A few times I have thought is AJ real or is he in prison as he was never on here Very Happy Glad to briefly meet you Very Happy

Parade lap was good. would have been better a bit faster Very Happy

Like I have said to a few I wish I had come on the info stand as I missed the atmosphere and also the BBQ, but never mind. We had a rubbish day trading so doubt my mate will do it next year so I can come with you guys Very Happy

Ummm that's all from me really Very Happy

Haha yeah I am real Smile

On the speed of the parade lap - I meant to say actually - that was completely controlled by Rockingham Race Control, I was constantly being given updates on the pack and told what speed to hold. Was actually awesome being told what was happening behind me over the radio all the time Very Happy

Wonder if we will get it next year as well Very Happy As there aren't many car clubs that have over 100 cars Very Happy

I was going to say, 105 cars is very good. I've never been before, but that seems a lot of cars/members from one forum/webiste.

I'll definitely be going next year - I'll just scab a lift of Stu or Louis!

I was meant to ask earlier, were there anymore 206's there representing another forum (twozerosix), or were you guys the only lot?

Agree about Saxp's behaviour, I was just watching thinking 'what a bunch of muppets'.


The stunt driving was just yawn as it's the same old, the show was identical to last year, think ill skip it next year and hit a few more track days!

I will definitely be going next year aswell. Really wanted to go this year but I had to work due to so many people taking holiday! Sad the second one I've missed now.

Some cracking pictures you got there. Also well done for the whole event everyone, representing those who weren't present aswell as those who were obvs.
