Swimming around Kames

Never been good with diaries! Anyway, visit to Kames 3rd October http://www.eastayrshirecc.co.uk/track. Kames is by the town of MuriKirk in Ayrshire. An ex mining/industrial town, which has lost it's industry, and is miles from anywhere.
The day dawned very wet, and looked like continuing.
When walking the track, came across a stream across the track on an exit to a major corner, large puddles on inside of corners, and finally a 'lake' completely across the course, just after the hairpin where the fastest stretch of the course is.  Luckily the rain stopped for a while, and water started to clear.

The stream stayed for the day as you can see in the video above. An interesting course as you do 3 laps each run, which gives a chance to review corners etc. The course did show up how 'slow' the steering rack is, when attempting to negotiate the hairpin, and catch any oversteer on exit. The other issue was that the course allowed me to get into 3rd gear, but I missed the downchange on 2 occasions !!! . As usual, got faster each run.

However,during lunch break, a rain storm could be seen coming up the valley. Eventually appeared in time for the last timed run after lunch. If you watched the Korean Grand Prix, and saw any of the car/driver views, it was that bad. Between steamed up glasses, and soaking visor, visibility disappeared to the point where I couldn't see the marshal waving the chequered flag to indicate the end of my run  !

Despite being soggy, it was still an enjoyable day. 

Looking forward to the John Frew Memorial Charity Sprint on 13th Nov. Please donate if you are able, by going to the site
