Paul Aspden (MoFast) Posted February 16, 2022 Share Posted February 16, 2022 Hi All I am not sure this is the place to put this so apologies in advance if it is not. Whilst the night job is running MoFast the actual day job as running a few large teams at JD PLC and whilst we focus on selling lots of trainers to the snowflake generation we also have foundation that supports charities working with disadvantaged young people in the UK. What I would like to do is organise a track day where passenger rides are given to people within the JD organisation that have bid in on this experience at one of our charity auctions. Would anyone be interested in I bringing a car and give some people a sensible thrill around Blighton Park if the track day cost was just fuel and time? Yes it would probably be more sedate but it would still be track time. I would like to get 24 cars and 12 passengers involved if possible.

Ian Kinder (Bagpuss) - Joint Peak District AO Posted February 16, 2022 Share Posted February 16, 2022 What a great idea, though I'd suggest you don't need as many cars and you could provide more passenger rides? For an Experience, I'd suggest you'd only want 3-6 laps per passenger. @Kingster @Rush Motorsport What do you two think? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kingster Posted February 16, 2022 Share Posted February 16, 2022 Yes I’d be up for that - especially if they want a sedate experience 🤣 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TAFKARM Posted February 16, 2022 Share Posted February 16, 2022 I’d be concerned about the insurance and liability situation tbh. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Julie Hall - WSCC AO Representative Posted February 16, 2022 Share Posted February 16, 2022 The first time I went around Blyton in a Westfield was as a passenger with Jamie Morrow and we did 3 laps, that was a fair number of laps I thought.

Paul Aspden (MoFast) Posted February 16, 2022 Author Share Posted February 16, 2022 @Rush Motorsport we would cover the liability. Imagine what we cover in our stores every week Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TAFKARM Posted February 16, 2022 Share Posted February 16, 2022 A lovely idea but unlikely to get approved by the Rush Motorsport internal risk dept. I wish you all the best with it though. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rednop1 Posted February 16, 2022 Share Posted February 16, 2022 Insurance and people's driving ability would be the two key factors for me Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dave Eastwood (Gadgetman) - Club Chairman Posted February 16, 2022 Share Posted February 16, 2022 It's not uncommon with things like this, where the drivers aren't necessarily "qualified", (typically ARDS) or some other form of pro driver, for the runs to be done behind a pace car, who will regulate overall group speed/behaviour. Though I've taken part, as a driver, previously in ones where it is more just like a normal track day. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Paul Aspden (MoFast) Posted February 16, 2022 Author Share Posted February 16, 2022 Yes so my next question is. Is anyone ARDS qualified in the club? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Paul Aspden (MoFast) Posted February 16, 2022 Author Share Posted February 16, 2022 Bear in mind I am trying to build something that creates money for a great charitable foundation. It’s not about seeing how far you can push you and your car, but instead give a couple of people a run round. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
