Seen some of the movies and looks like you had some fun. One or two hairy moments in there. Not sure i would want to do that in my own car as it might lead to .

Looks like you had yourself a good event.. well done!
Did you make the money? enough left over for a deposit on the next one? Just Car Club or did you 'open up'? Regards, Nick Wright Croft'03 |

There's nowt wrong with a Capri.. they can be tricked up quite nicely.. in fact you can knock yourself together a tasty little trackday number with coil overs and big brakes for around a grand.. it will never be an M3.. but boy do they embarrass some of the exotic machines when you catch them napping.

Our track day (afternoon) had (I think) 33 people and given the reductions Brendan Purcell squeezed out of Mondello Park (2 pints of blood from a small stone!) we have about 200 or 300 Euros left which will go towards next years track day(s). Would any of the UK boys (or girls) fancy taking the ferry over for it? ------------- Current: 2009 E60 520d "Sport" tractor Previous: 1989 E30 320i SE 1997 E39 523i 2003 E39 525i Sport Individual |

Perhaps you should consider the club calendar before booking your next trackday just incase there is another club trackday at that time.. Cadwell Park is usually in May, Croft is usually July and the CSL day is usually in October.. so, March/April should be good.. you may be able to get the circuit hire down if you go out of season.. we sometimes drop on a bargain in the winter months.. like Bedford Autodrome a couple of years ago for five grand.. just one month before Christmas.. I had a full turnout, it was great!
