Recommended Posts

First off PLEASE IGNORE THE DATE in this op.

Several of the Cambs chaps have asked about doing another day at Alconbury.

How many are actually interested so I can sort the costings.

I'm looking at September for the dates.

Chaz.

MArk, it is not a track day, rather a series of slaloms and hairpins getting you used to sliding the car and using the pendulum effect. All instructed and safe.....but tyres are a gonner in a day.

for those that have not done this before - if the idea of spending all day trying to go sideways appeals then this is defo your cuppa tea

if you spend too much time facing the wrong way on a trackday you are eventually gonna fall out with the organisers - this is where this event starts to make a lot of sense

last year the airfield was split into two halves - some cones were laid out and you went out one at a time to practice drifting

In the afternoon one half of the airfield was made into a sorta sprint track for you to practice "hopefully" your new drifting skills with the idea that you could keep the drift going (I failed miserably but enjoyed trying)

brilliant fun - but like I said either get some cheap rims with some hard rubber tyres or get your tyres changed over for the day

last year I destroyed a nearly new set of a048's in a day - ouch!!! oh and bring some gaffer tape to protect your bodywork  :t-up:

Come on lads this really is the dogs  :devil:
