Possible Track Day Event
« on: December 31, 2008, 02:28:49 pm »
one of the guys on the mini forum has suggested hiring out the track on the saturday. he said a fully prepped track for the day will be 3k, so we would need a good turnout to make it affordable. i have the contact info to sort out booking etc if any of the mods want to do it?

That could work out relatively cheap if there was a good turnout (taking into account other forum members coming also). As long as its organised properly it could work! Nice idea  :smiley: :smiley:

Possible Track Day Event

would be good to do qualifying in the morning and then shootout in the afternoon.
32, 64 or 128+ car field.
Could draw up tables etc, bbq. Would be an awesome and a good way to bring the forums together.
We would get plenty more track tie too if we had the track to the hot hatches.
With 100 cars it would be £30 each, i wouldnt mind paying that. If we started organising it now we could get way more than 100 cars

I think its a brilliant idea!

What happens with regard to marshalling? Is there a limited amount of cars allowed on track at a given time?

I really hope this idea goes ahead!!!!!

the organiser will need to ask all of these questions. i do know that the money must be paid in advance and if it rains on the day there will be no refund or rescheduling the date.

Good idea bud, but I think it will clash with the sunday and seperate a lot of the guys. I have counted about 80 peeps looking at coming on the sunday now from all the different forums, so to cancel the sunday for the sat would be a bit of a mare.. Another date I would be more than up for it..
Another possible problem that I can possibly see. Is with it being Jan/Feb, there is a bigger chance of it being hampered by the weather and 3k going down the $hitter, which nobody wants really. Is it the same price all year round?
