Too much fuel?
I wouldn't be so sure!
And I will get a decent video of it! 
I can do..
On the note of cameras.. I don't think I will be able to record all the cars as the battery isn't great.. so is anyone else bringing any decent video cameras?
Same here. At work all day, going to try and give it a quick wash and dry before it gets too dark.
Ignore that it would seem that forums don't like tables...
Does this look right?
Just a thought, I am not sure if these guys can save our runs in .pdf files etc, but for whoever can host them, if you could bring a USB stick to take the runs that would be helpful?
Thanks
Thanks

You guys rock.
I will be bringing: Video camera, potentially the tripod, list of runners, pen, money, and urm.. me?

Bringing the car would also be nice?
I was planning on catching the train?
Mine will be in the same state as it was from my track day the other week, not dirty, but dusty. Never mind.
My neighbours are gonna love hearing my car at 6am..
My car is iced over... why? Leaving in about 30min. See you all there
It's cold...
Guys,
Thank you all so much for making this day so successful. Special thanks to those who stayed the whole day, keeping the banter going. I really enjoyed speaking with all you guys today, I've never really been given a chance to do so before, so I thank you for it.
My apologies firstly for the running order mess. It was a bit of a free for all really, I had no idea that whoever signed what form ran in that order until we got there, which of course made getting all the forms filled in the right order hard work, especially when (understandably) some came when they expected to run.
Secondly, I don't apologise for it being an all day event.. because I warned you
However, I very much concur that the cars could have been done quicker, but due to the staff having banter with us.. I think it makes up for it. Just for an example, from the time Gaijin came off the dyno, to me coming off the dyno after running next, was nearly an hour. My car was not on the dyno for long, but the staff had other things to sort. Part and parcel of the day I think. But the day had many pros to out weigh this I think.
Thirdly, my sincere apologies to all those who asked me to go out in my car! I really did wish to take you all out, but felt that as the organiser I should be on site until everything was wrapped up. But definitely next time!
Thanks Howard! It goes alright doesn't it
Lastly... power figures. I already discussed this with some of you, but my feelings are that the figures for flywheel were definitely more of a guess than say Powerstation. They simply did a calculation of the wheel power x rwd/fwd/awd losses and got the flywheel figure. Which unfortunately doesn't take into account different tyres, wheels, wear and tear of bearings etc. Where Powerstation measures the resistances and practically adds it on top - which I feel may be closer?? This is of course my opinion.
But seriously, thanks again so much for coming, all of you! What a great turnout!!
O and Joshy, thanks for not running, your deposit bought me dinner in Guildford
