V-Rod	My friend with a track prepared Viper usually supports the Children's Trust Supercar event at the Dunsfold Top Gear test track here in the UK. You take paying passengers around the track with all the proceeds going to the Childrens Trust charity supporting brain injured children. He has often encouraged me to take my Prowler, I find it more than fast enough for road use but to attend a seriously fast supercar event on a track, I wasn't so sure. Long story short, he sold his Viper, its a selective invite and he wanted to continue to support the event. Another friend with a Viper was also going, when the organisers knew I had a Prowler they asked if I could bring it along as they are so rare in the UK, saying the event is about the passenger experience rather than just the speed. So the deed has just been done. I had a great time, so did my passengers and it raised money for a great charity. The Prowler went down really well, as always. Managed to find a public video on youtube that proves it happened: Fourth car out at 11 seconds: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=f-C0GtdlI6U Found another one showing some of the fantastic cars that were there: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ERfDyDq1Yno Enjoy, you will see the Prowler is allowed to play with the big boys now and again. Found some more: This one shows the circuit, at 3 mins it shows the line of cars: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=pTxAmNpR3zU Prowler goes past at 10 seconds and the Viper at 35: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Zx6PH29En-4&list=LL69YIeN03Q8VZa8aPRJymhA&index=1 Cheers, Nick.

Dave Haggas	Hi Nick, my brother phoned me as he saw you arrive. He was there with Lexus. I told him to come and find you and say hello. I guessed it was you. I would have been there but work got in the way again, I was at the Formula e race in central London.

Spent most of the time on track or wandering around so apologies for not catching up with your brother, send him my regards. Weather is good so will see what other events are on so we may be able to get together. All the best, Nick.

dskatt	What a fantastic event!
V-Rod	It was a fantastic event, some very special cars there. Found another video, Prowler on the track at 0:10 seconds and lining up at 6:45 - had lots of children passengers, this one can only just about see out! Also has several clips of Neil's Viper as it is very photogenic. The other car that attracted a lot of attention was the blue Lexus LFA. Enjoy. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Zx6PH29En-4 This message has been edited by V-Rod on 07-07-2016 at 05:46 PM

Looks cool keep having fun with it Trey, it was part of a charity event, public pay £30 for a ticket that is 3 laps of the circuit, it is shortened as the full top gear track is a figure of 8. All money to the Children's Charity so very safety focused. Not over 100 mph with adults, 70 mph with Children. The Prowler did well, was flat out a lot of the time, kept up well in most corners but the Ferrari's, Lambo's, Atoms etc were way quicker out the corners. Was just fast good fun. The Prowler had a lot of interest. Cheers, Nick.
FastLane	Went to a Car Meet today. Took my Ipad and gathered all the Corvette owners and put this video on. The look on their faces was priceless. thank you for making this a great week
