Just giving you all a heads up for a track day near Lincoln coming soon, around April or May.

I will be organising a Lincoln Airfield to be opened to us for the day. The idea is to donate some money to charity as the airfield will be free.

In short - i need to know the following, what would you like to see provided, the airfield has some twisty sections great for hanging the car out.

Do you want;

a) Autotest style driving events
b) Just a chance to use the airfield and compare times?
c) 0-60 shootout, 0-100, 1/4 mile?

Anyone who has been to this type of event and can recommend or provide timing gear for shootouts etc would be extremely useful. Otherwise i cannot really offer those events without using amateur timing methods, although we could drag the top 5 off if wanted.

What sort of facilities do i need to provide for the day itself? Food and toilet only? Anything else?

Its going to take quite a bit of my own personal time to organise this so i will be looking for good support and assistance if possible, lets have a great day and give a shed load of cash to good causes.

If a success the event could be repeated fairly easily ;)

Me. I would like to.

I'm up for a blast round, I presume we all donate, right?

Hi,
B works for me,sounds like fun!Marshals
would be a good idea too just in case someone hangs it out too far:P.Put my name down,if you need any help with the running of the day drop me an e-mail,will be more than glad to help.
Regards
Simon

I anticipate providing fully qualified medics and marshalls in addition to a feeder, since the RAF medics will probably do it if i ask nice and to watch some nice motors going sideways!

Mate's GF is a doctor, she don't know it yet but she will be roped in ;) Besides she has an MGF she will want to razz about in :D

Are you going to run it as open pit lane or split into sessions? I'll probably be up for it, but I'll need to check closer to the time. Got any date's in mind?

Just a thought if all is going to charity, it might be worth speaking to Book a Track, and or Easy Track, and use their expertise. I know they have both done charity days before.

Dude, I'll be in if I have a car by then. Currently at the menders after a very balletic slide followed by a very full-on wrestling body slam in to a barrier.

Could have done with time on an airfield earlier to practice catching skids. If I get the car back by then, I'll be in ;)

Sounds good to me, although I would be more interested in trying out some full on cornering, and tail out stuff.
I have about 30 traffic cones, if thats any use to you.

james

Dave :)

Sounds good, I'm interested.

Sounds good to me,get a bit of sideways action.

you can count me in.

the 1/4 mile dargs againest other cars sounds quite intresting

Still looking good.

I won't be able to organise it till APril due to work commitments.

Currently need to look into the insurance and liability aspects. Anyone know anything about what i require ?

P1
if you need any help with thing's I will be willing to lend a hand.
Busy with work 'till late March,but after that I should have plenty of time.

Mail me as and when you need any thing...
will have a look into the liabilty / insurance thing, though I think it will depend on the venue, in some cases the owners of the venue will be held liable if any thing goes wrong if they have giving their permission for it to take place.

Or am I talking b0ll0cks!

At least I can take CORNERS :D

Cheers

BOB

P1,

I'm interested. a,b & c would be nice and let people pick what they do. Plenty of spectators too. Have you tried Manby. Believe they hire the runway for events. (I've competed in off road events their).

Keep me posted. Happy to help.
