Excellent day out to watch the SMRC race meeting on Sunday 13th July. A rare beautiful sunny day which definitely pushed drivers, and tyres, to their limits. Very reasonably priced ticket for the amount of track action with some brilliant close racing in most of the categories. The commentary throughout the day was highly informative from the gents in the tower, explaining the various formats and regulations, and it is obvious how passionate they are about motorsports from their reaction to on track action. Grid Walk for the Scottish Legends was a nice touch for families and well attended, offering a nice opportunity to interact with drivers and cars. Noticeable improvements in trackside facilities for spectators too but still more areas to be worked on, which I am sure the management team are looking into. I'll definitely be back to watch the SMRC meetings again after being a regular attender for the BTCC and BSB over the years.

Just wanted to say a massive thank you to yourself for all the assistance you have given me today and over the last few months. My dad had an amazing time today and I suspect he will be back again for another shot. The staff as always were all amazing, every single one of them. So please pass on my regards for making it such a great day out for him. See you in a couple of weeks time.
