Hello !

Few words to say how great was the event ! It is our 4th ND and it was really GIANT

Beautifull cars, heavy modified engines, many people met, great site at Mallory Park, good weather with sun all the day and 'magic pernod' helping to heat the night

We took many pictures, so I will post them during this week when I got some free time. By the way I confirm the manifold used on the efi car comes from an 11 Alliance. Happy to read our cars were appreciated

Thanks to all the people we have met during the week end, thanks to Miller & all the staff, thanks x 1000

Will be back to ND09 !

**D4WNO** · 29-09-2008, 16:31

Bonjour Fred,

Hehe was lovely meeting you guys and thank you so much for the Pernod, lethal stuff! Can't believe you guys were drinking mugs of whisky neat!

Looking forward to seeing the photos, I saw Roman taking quite a few over the weekend

It was a great weekend. Well worth the trip up. Thanks mostly to Bekki for looking after my boy while I was on track. Only intended to do one or two sessions but kept being asked for passenger rides all day, so did a bit more than intended on my knackered rear Michelin Cup tyres.

Cheers to Mart/Bekki for the accommodation. Much appreciated & Josh had a great time. His first time sleeping in a tent & he hasn't stopped talking about it yet. Oh, & by the way, first word past his lips this morning when presented with his breakfast was "FAIL". Thanks again for that one Mart. Laura says it's all my fault.

Thanks to Shoppers for organising the mother of all pizza orders.

Cheers to Big Steve for the loan of the bedding. Hope the passenger ride was good fun.

Good to see so many Renaults doing proud on track. Looks like the trackday jitters are well and truely a thing of the past.

I know it's not a Renault but did anyone catch any footage of my CSL on track? I'd be interested to have a look. They do sound nice fully wound up.

Fair play on the inovation award to the LPG conversion, having read the PPC mag article there is a lot more to it than meets the eye. How about we get PPC mag down to ND09? or even better someone has to enter a 5 into the PPC £999 challenge.

**Kenobi** · 29-09-2008, 19:24

I spent a little time there met a proper cool camper called Lyle who made me Tea.

Good to see you lot, good to meet more peeps.

My littluns loved the CAFE Saturday morning.

Had a great weekend and even though I may have looked a bit

deep down I really enjoyed organising ND and can't wait to get started on next years

thanks to all the committe members who helped out, the other members who did their bit and the girlfrinds that were dragged along

Finally a big thanks to everyone who made the effort to come

without you there is no National Day

Bring on ND09!!! My clio turbo will be there as I now have time to start the conversion

mallory were very happy with the day, also very impressed with the standard of driving it was an easy day for them

I am in discussions with mallory for a date for next year, but as we have our foot in the door securing one that suits us should be easier

**Big Steve - Raider** · 01-10-2008, 17:41

Mart, AlexS & Duncan Grier will all vouch for when the Skyline GTR Owners Club (GTROC) go to a track day they have a window sticker with the outline of the track and GTROC in the centre for all the members.

Therefore you can see which cars have been to which tracks & it looks good when you see a car with all the stickers on.

Maybe we could start this ball rolling with the RTOC?
