Had a fantastic weekend, the trip down to Milton Keynes didn't take long at all, it seemed to fly by. Once we got there and eventully got into the house, we were settling down, having a quiet drink when about 10-15 peeps came in, the music was whacked on etc etc etc, lolol there was no way we were gonna be having a quiet night!!
Think i got about 2 hours sleep in all.
Woke up at 5am, gorgeous weather, lovely start to the day.
Got to silverstone at about 7am after getting off the park n ride bus, which was bloody boiling already!! All in all, the day was excellent, the red arrows were fantastic, if not a little scary, lol me n s-j ran for cover at one point, they were doing some right mad maneuvers, and were VERY close to the ground, and the noise was summat else!!
The race itself was rather non eventful, shame button didn't get a podium finish.
Had a walk up to hangar straight which is the fastest part of the circuit, wow thats when you really get a feel of both the noise they make and the speed they travel at, unbelivable!!
Think they do about 180/190 mph there!!!
Couldn't believe it when S-J and PW went to get ice lollys, and came back about half an hour or more later, they had to walk back to the pit straight area (which was ages away from where we were) only to find out later that there was an ice cream van just around the corner in the opposite direction!!
That sun was SOOO hot, don't think i've ever been that hot before, i'm not a lover of the sun, don't mind it in small doses, but 12 hours in it at 30c, eek!! Thank god for the tunnel near us!! My head is still a bit red btw, lol!!
Thanks again you three, so glad we could go!! ..and i'm glad you all enjoyed yourselves!
