Can you remember who we did that last one with Gary? I've had a quick look at Rocky days currently available and it does seem to be the going rate (or higher). In my experience, the cheapest days aren't necessarily the best days. They tend to pack more cars in making it busy on track and queues more likely. Quote

Ah right. Well I suppose there's no harm in trying to squeeze some discount out of Rockingham if we can hit them with ten cars again? Quote

TAFKARM Posted January 10, 2018 Posted January 10, 2018 A bit early I think, if we want lots of cars. Theres some strange people out there Andrew, who think their cars will melt in the rain! Quote

Theres some strange people out there Andrew, who think their cars will melt in the rain! Ha ha! Rockinham's no fun in the rain mind.. ( I have a vid somewhere clattering the Armco in said conditions!) but I think we're fairly safe in May. Anyway, I've sent them a message re discount.. we'll see what they come back with. 1 Quote
Andrew Posted January 10, 2018 Posted January 10, 2018 So... Have just spoken to the Rockingham fella, he'll do 10% off for 5 or more cars, and chuck in a couple of garages free. I think we can squeeze about 8 to 10 Westys in two garages? £175. If that's Ok, we just need to pick a date.. I think I'd opt for 25th May? and get five names to get the ball rolling. Quote

Tbf, If we say me plus a possible 2, and RussH we have 4. Anyone care to be number 5? Are we OK with the date? Friday25th May? My thinking behind that choice of days is, out of the three 105db days in May / June, 3rd May is a Thursday and on the shorter circuit. 7th June is a Thursday preceding a 750mc race meeting.. could be a few racy Hot Hatches etc etc. 25th May is a nice weekend extending Friday, and as far as I can see, there's no racing at the weekend.

OK, I'll see if I can get the booking details set up today sometime, and start a fresh thread. Friday 25th May Rockingham on the International super sportscar long circuit. Edit: Have tried to contact the man, but he's busy with the Autosport show. Shall try again Monday. Quote
