Shame it`s such short notice
A trip as been mentioned at the last 2 AGM`s i have been at,but nothing ever has come about them. Rich did post up about the Ring on these date IIRC and he is going along with Gee (Thru Evotechnik)
Prob is we can`t get folk to pay up for 75mph Karts never mind a trip to the Ring
Defiantly a good idea to go via some organized events guru |

I'd be up for this, but a 6 weeks is a bit short notice... Good luck.. Try 6 - 12 months notice, you may get a bigger response |

As said above, I used those dates to give indicative costs. Obviously we can all go most weekends, but I needed to start somewhere! Happy to say 6 or 12 months, but we did that last October and people indicated their interest cost depending. Well the costs are above, will I set a date in September, or next June? |

Good on you Steve for trying to set something up. Would be good if a heap of us from this side of the country could go at some point. Are you going along on the weekend of the ET trip?

steve,
I would be up for this but it would have to be next year. if you were to set a date as you say sometime next June then I would be 100%. it's just a case of trying to get others to commit. stevie |

Hi Gee - is that the 13th to 15th July? Probably, I'm trying to be there as much as I can in July. I'll also be there 23/24 June for sure. |

Fair point Stevie - the problem is we probably couldn't finalise dates until around Feb/Mar next year, and therefore take money off folk. At that point, people might feel its still too close? |

Hey guys. Got back last night from a fantastic weekend at the Ring. Was great to finally meet Steve who was kind enough to take me out in the CSL (pic below). All I can say is top guy and WOW!!! If there is an organised Scottish trip in 2008 my advice would be to get your name down. You won't regret it! |

Good to meet you too Gee, a great weekend although lots of closures. Yip, for sure a 2008 trip, although exact dates aren't released until Feb. What do you guys think of setting a month for next year, we know now roughly how much, and taking stage payments over the year to spread the cost? This idea was discussed at a meet previously but I forgot to post it on the forum. |

The plan is to run it through ring weekends - because they've got the various insurances required. I'm guessing in the region of £25-£50 per month for 10 months, per car, which can be split if there is more than one person in the car (obviously). The photo was taken by one of the ring regular photographers, you can see his website on the copyright message. Team Schirmer is a local racing team near the ring that I'm involved in - more details soon |

i am about to go to the ring. why not plan the trip your self. ive paid £85 for the ferry return (dover - calais), then £55 a night to stay in the zur burg hotel you can also get a room in calais for a night for £25 in a formule 1 if required. travel to dover on friday for a late ferry which is cheaper. then stay in calais. get up early the next day and get to the ring for mid day. stay 2 nights then drive back monday. hard core! |
