red flag was coming out all day for general breakdowns and recovery of cars stopped and on there roofs
think they were using it to cycle the users and shrink the pitlane que too

I swear they over sold tickets for the 11-1... Last year it was open pitlane... This year it was que pitlane
I see now why they warned you about missing red flag...
The red lights were flashing when you came out the chicane and onto straight before camp

agree on overselling, so much queuing that was only alleviated by red flagging and everyone coming off. not really impressed by the 'open pit' claim if it takes 20mins+ to get back on.

Yeah me neither. Not "open" pit at all if I'm honest.
Also seriously still fuming about the 20-25min queuing at the end...to get the front of the que, Sam behind me...to be told to turn around!

Anyone know if there were pro photographers there on track and if so who? Any vessel or photos of mine are greatly received.

Photos not vessels.
Good to meet and chat to those of you who I did. Great selection of 306's. See you at pugfest.

I have to admit, it was one of my favourite days...
No stress, totally chilled out, cost me very little (other than tickets themselves), actually only spent £3.50 on the day.
Plus smiles all day from banter, laughing at the laughable and having a riot on track.
Only annoyance was location and the end of 11-1 session 25min que to turn around

I have to agree this year seemed very relaxed and the club stand was more of "parking" for all the people going on track. Really enjoyed it. Was the people that made the show this year not the show itself

I liked the vibe this year, no dickheads, no bimbos and no pressure cooker environment.
Not sure I missed the drifting as combe is not a track for watching, can live without the dodgems and most of the traders I wouldn't have bought from anyway. In a way it was nice to be parked nearer quarry although track noise did get annoying by the end of the day.

As otgers have said it was very relaxed and stand was organised on the morning and then became a car park when front row left for track. Our space was very tight and other clubs clearly had more space with fewer cars. Will have to raise thst issue. Otherwise I really really enjoyed it!
