   okey dokey.. disappointing, but at least I'll get an opportunity to compare 328 times from the last BDD & M3 times from Aprils. Every cloud!!  
My fear is that come autumn, there'll be a 'scheduling malfunction' on Mondellos side again, and we'll have the same situation as last time.

	Bad news. The international section has been booked out by the driving school so we have no option but to stay on the National. He tried to see if it was possible to cancel but apparently the volume dictated otherwise. I will book the international for the autumn.

	Ah Eamo, you'd grumble and gripe about it, but you'd still be there @ the national circuit to show us why The Silver Bullet got its name Just as long as you pull over when The Purple Warrior arrives to pass ...

	Any thoughts, Killian? And any way we could help? Maybe we should approach AXA or Hibernian or the like? Supporting responsible performance driving in the safe confines of a circuit & all that (I know tis a long shot, partic when there's no insurance cover whilst on track!) Any motoring organistations interested, like CarBuyersGuide, Eiretyres, Falken, GSF & the like? Or some of the recommended suppliers listed on the site who get good business from the club & so might be able to justify giving a few quid back?

	LOL - I bags first go in the CSL* because I booked the date Speaking of which - i have requested the International and Ian Beatty just has to double check that the school isn't on that day and will come back to me. Now, we would be best getting some sponsorship money to put into the kitty methinks! * Can I drive?

	I'd fully agree, I went to an open day, its madness. What turned me off was the bunch of chavs beside me drinking many cans of scrumpy jack then going out for a few laps, thats what your dealing with.. It was over crowded with lots of shunts, mostly from dusty scrap yard wrecks that had been lowered onto the track by break down rigids...

	Justin I seriously advise you not to take an E46 M3 CSL out on the open days. I went down to one and it was honestly full of knackers in clapped out cars who didnt give a toss what happened. With some machinery like that, you will be a nervous wreck going out uninsured with lots of people who have far less to lose than you. Go and take a look if you must, and maybe I got it on a bad day, but the vrt situation here in the south means the standard of car is far lower on average than you might expect in the uk. Mick

	i was gonna give the open day on april 17th a try, but i'd prefer a bmw only day. what's the difference between the international and national tracks? i'm presuming the national is shorter? justin

	Killian I should be OK for 29th. I'd be prepared to stump up extra to give the international a try. I make it 6 - nil so far in favour of international! Best of luck. Edited by GR-8

	Killian I am also up for it......track days are a rare enough event in Ireland so I would be in the camp that would be prepared to pay extra for the international. Mick

	glad to hear it boys. Hopefully 50 others out there will think the same. Once I have definite details about the spring date then I will approach the NI crowd as well as some dealers with the view to reducing costs.
