Mark Stanton Posted September 17, 2002 Share Posted September 17, 2002 The track season is starting to cool down - but Mallory Park is open for testing most Wednesday's (?) and Curborough can be hired from Shenstone & District Car Club for half or a full days use As regards organised by others, so you just turn up and drive - there ain't much doing at present in the WM Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BobM Posted September 17, 2002 Share Posted September 17, 2002 Rockingham this Friday with Trackstar Donington next Wednesday with BookaTrack Both are open pit lane I'll be at both in the Evo (unless I injure it on Friday of course !

SEiGHT Posted September 17, 2002 Share Posted September 17, 2002 oooooo, Donington open pit lane for £169....gimme some of that ! Must be a typo on their web site. I paid TW £230 for a Donington day and that was a bargain apparently....ahem.... Nope, they've accepted my order at £169 so it's legit See you there (if the helicopters don't get me first) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BobM Posted September 18, 2002 Share Posted September 18, 2002 Yes, £169 is pretty good for Donington. Trackstar have one there on Monday 18 November for £159 though Open pit lane again. Trackstar days usually have instructors on hand for free all day too. See you at there next Wed! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

gregh Posted September 18, 2002 Share Posted September 18, 2002 The link for Javelin is indeed Javelin Motorsport I think they are doing £10 off for Westfield drivers on 30th Sept, so the cost is £135 anyone else going? Greg Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BobM Posted September 18, 2002 Share Posted September 18, 2002 Cadwell on 11th October, Trackstar again ... £129 How far south do you want to go? There's Spa on 8th October with Autotrack Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jon Murray Posted September 18, 2002 Share Posted September 18, 2002 Hoping to get to Cadwell at the end of Sept with Javelin - these were the guys handing out leaflets at the WSCC airfield day at Elvington, right? Probably will do Donnington on Wednesday with Bookatrack, nice to see 2 other SEiGHTS entered (Hi Mark, we met at Mallory, me = yellow V8 3.9 with under-slung reggo V8 PET) Got to get at least 2 more track days in before the car gets put to bed for the winter!

BobM Posted September 23, 2002 Share Posted September 23, 2002 Hi SEiGHT, Any chance of a few passenger laps in your beastie? Didn't quite manage to kill the Evo at Rockingham on Friday, although I did manage to warp the front disks which made braking for the chicane from 130mph on the main straight quite exciting as the afternoon wore on! Got the brakes sorted this morning so all I need to do now is clean up all the pickup off the slicks and kick the kids off the PS2 so I can practice Dony in TOCA Race Driver Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SEiGHT Posted September 23, 2002 Share Posted September 23, 2002 Bob - you've not seen me drive yet You might have second thoughts once you have ! Should be no problem, however it would have to be in the afternoon because I've just put new springs/dampers and have mucked around with ride height etc. Let me get used to the car before I have to worry about the extra weight (no offence ! Jon - have you confirmed yet ? There are 3 SEiGHTs confirmed as going, but you're still "provisional". Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jon Murray Posted September 23, 2002 Share Posted September 23, 2002 Call me a big old wuss, but I'm going to check the weather forecast tomorrow morning before I book. The forecast I saw today looks ok for Wednesday, but the forecaster I saw on Sunday was saying a huge low would be smack over the counrty by mid-week They'll probably have a better idea by tomorrow Jon Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SEiGHT Posted September 23, 2002 Share Posted September 23, 2002 Call me a big old wuss, but I'm going to check the weather forecast tomorrow morning before I book. If you insist....you big old wuss According to http://www.weather.co.uk/weather/local/UKXX0040 it's going to be a great day. Even the BBC agree http://www.bbc.co.uk/weather/5day.shtml?id=1632&links Admittedly these web sites seem to change their mind every 5 minutes, but they've been consistent for the past 5 days now. Going to be cold in the morning, but hopefully warming up by the time we get into the track. Just make sure you aren't beaten in the rush, there are a whole bunch of "provos" in line with you...
