I've been there today and enjoyed it immensely. Very good location and plenty of space to allow traders, show and shine, track time etc. quite central and looks to be easily managed. :happy2:

Glad you both enjoyed it today. We have been putting the event in at Curborough for a long time now. We have to thank Shenstone Car Club for letting us use the circuit.

Sounds great Ian!

Thanks for taking this on  :congrats:

Graeme

Whooooah, Easy Graeme!! I haven't taken it on, but I'm happy to be part of an organising group. I'd suggest someone more experienced with this sort of thing head up a committee, but I'm happy to do my share of the legwork.  :happy2:


....I'm happy to help you Ian. I have experience of organising meets and we know each other.

The type of meet and where is probably the first thing to decide/propose.  :happy2:

Bruntingthorpe is a nice track for inexperienced and lots of open space

....It's also relatively 'central' - Whichever location is chosen it won't suit absolutely everybody.

The downside is though that it's pretty bleak regarding what else to do other than track. It depends what can be organised there.

+1 for brunters.

Very safe, lots of room and long enough....

Let's be honest not everybody wants to do an official track day, as long it was kept to 10 cars on a lap at a time and max 5 laps, you could do a one in one out and it would nt take long to get through everybody.

People's brakes wouldnt last much over 5 laps anyhow.

Sort of a semi track day/vmax event but unofficial.

You'd have to make sure it didn't turn into a bunfight somehow.

Loads of room, could also hire in a chuck wagon for the day that way we wouldn't be spending £6 on an egg banjo

Woop woop, this looks like gathering momentum. I'm deffo up for this whatever the location. Brunters is a great location. If who ever gets the ball rolling and needs any help i'm more than happy to lend a hand. :happy2:
