For the second year running the weather was to be against us, third year lucky next time??? As rain persisted throughout most of the day but it didn't stop people from having fun. Aidan Potter took me round for a few laps in his Melos proving that he had done a good job of putting his new engine together and I was well impressed by the level of grip provided by the Falken ZE 502 tyres he has fitted considering the poor conditions, no doubt helped by his smooth driving style. I had to feel sorry for Roger Barr who at the Newark show a couple of weeks previous had purchased a second set of wheels for his car. He then went to the quite considerable effort of getting some slicks fitted to them and then building a box trailer to get them to the circuit, the trailer was pained in a blue and yellow two tone scheme of course to match the car, but the weather meant all his efforts were in vain! You could guarantee that if he had brought a set of wets instead that it would have been dry! Graham Boulter brought  his dad's stunning Kudos along instead of the B+ for a baptism of fire, having only been completed the night before, but unfortunately suffered an electronic water pump failure after only a couple of laps.

One or two had graceful spins on to the grass or took the escape route at the chicane having out braked themselves but no harm was done to any cars or bodies during the day thanks to the reasonable amount of run off at the Llandow circuit. One member lost an exhaust which would have resulted in a noise ban at most track days, but not at Llandow! One of the circuit staff just said "doesn't matter, you just have to speak louder when he goes past!" The circuit manager was full of praise for the club and said to me after the event that he was impressed by the standard of driving throughout the day with no silliness or dangerous overtaking attempts and that he always looks forward to the DOC attending.
