Not having been here before, can anyone suggest where the best places are for shooting.

The Fujitsu V8's are on this weekend.

Bugger, I'm working.

Wakefield park isn't to bad from a spectators point of view. It's got a good length straight and from the spectator points you can see the whole circuit. It's fairly flat though.

Anywhere in the rear corner (if you can up there) would be good, as it's where it seems to be twisty.

Post some shots afterwards? Haven't seen much MS from you recently.

You going to BIMF?

Thanks Alan.

Yeah been a bit quiet on the MS scene lately but starting to get back into it.

Haven't finally decided on BMIF yet? I want to have a look at the website and see whats on. I know Sunday is 12 hour race but want to have a look to see wots on Friday. Unfortunately can't make Saturday.

Do you still have my mobile number? Jeff and I will be there all three days. I think Kyle will be there for a couple also.

Wakefield is a PITA from spectator points, 300mm nessecary IMO :(

Media bands are handy as you can normally get out to the huts, which provide good points to shoot from.

Would be good to see you out at BMIF barry, i'll be there on sat and sun shooting :)

Nah you can get away with 200mm easy at Wakefield. You need to keep moving around the track with the sun however
