Glad you had a good time mate. If it wasn't for the fact I'm in sunny Majorca then I would have been there!

It was nice to meet you Creighton - although I had to scrape the 'limpet like' mud and straw clinging to my unsuitable footware before I could even drive back to Newbury.
What was your overall position after the 4th run?

Hi Paul,
So, this is how it looked on the first run of the day, fast forward to 2:15

I was non competitive event so no times were taken. I think it'd been a decent tool for the job
Good to chat, the paddock was a bit messy but luckily the sun came up at the end which saved it! The straw set like concrete and the car looked like more like a Nomad when it got back home.

The paddock was fine!
- you should have tried walking across the road to the spectator viewing area/car parks - the mud around the entrance (next to the loos - I hope it wasn't leakage?) was about a 2" deep viscous clay/straw mix which unfortunately, on the walk back to my car, 'overflowed' my sandals!!

Glad it wasn't just us
4 hours to clean the car up
Leaving the car park thought it would be a good idea
To speed off down the road to clean the tires off
Not a great idea my son looked liked he fell in it

I did venture that way to both days (once) to check the hill conditions, not that I was competitive 
I was surprised that they don't put heavy substrates down.

That was epic, thanks for sharing. Is the sports exhaust an option then?
