    another track day ??

    kill two birds with one stone ??

    I never spotted it, but Chris did. there's another trackday at donington on sunday 1st October !! The very same day we will all be waking up with hangovers !

    I was just thinking.. that seeing as a lot of you have made the 500 mile round trip for just 45 minutes on track.... anyone fancy stopping a few hours longer on the sunday, & getting the usual 20 min sessions per hour ??

    It's also at the 'out of season' price of just £99 [ pre booked ]

    I know its short notice & you've all got to get back home for work on monday etc, but it would be a shame to miss out on more track time at donny whilst your on the doorstep ??


    If anyone else fancys it, I will definatley track my Saaab !!


    /EDIT; you'll be able to get at least 8 x 20 min sessions in during the day !! all for £99.

    Got to drive to Blackpool the Monday morning, so have to drive back the Sunday to drop Shaz off and also pick up someone from work to drive up with me.

    I'm sorely tempted, and normally that'd be the only moment of thought I'd give myself before confirming!!! But my car hasn't been that happy on track this year so I'm not sure....maybe I'll see how Saturday goes first and see if my gearbox/engine overheating problems are under control. National circuit is going to be a lot easier on my 'box, that's for certain!

    Go Wouter Go !

    Shame, now decided not to do the sunday for 3 reasons:

    1. Probably going to be feeling rough sunday morning

    2. Don't want Jane to kill Derek

    3. Doing another trackday at a 'new' circuit in October

    your Mazderati will wipe the floor with my Saaaab !!

    I'm hoping Rhianne will stay long enough on the sunday [ weather permitting] to have a couple of sessions herself !!

    At Donny last time around, she was well up for it. but I've just called her to say she can take my car on the track, and............................................... ................................... silence !!

    Correct - Mallory on Sat 21st October -

    Any takers ?

    The Usual Suspect will be there - look for the red gazebo (weather permitting !)

    Should be fun as Mallory is really for small powerful cars, but I like the twisty tight circuits as there is more opportunity for grounds maintenance
