View Full Version : STOP PRESS!!!! Brands Track Day!!! Sunday Feb 24th!!!
Stef 11 February 2002, 13:40 WHAT??? A track day at Brands Hatch Indy circuit on a Sunday? And only £120??? Only 25 places?? Are we mad??? :D
It's true. The SIDC have teamed up with Easytrack and booked Brands Hatch on Sunday February 24th.
Places are strictly limited to 25 cars, so they're going to go fast! As always, there will be instructors on hand to offer free tuition.
You will be able to book online shortly in the SIDC shop (small surcharge), or you can send a cheque to the usual address.
Hope to see some of you there.
Stef.
Markus 11 February 2002, 16:52 cross posted from sidc.bbs, sorry Stef
Stef,
as you well know I'm a track virgin, but have spectated at the last two SIDC days @ BH. Is the easytrack day going to be in a similar vein to the SIDC ones?
Is it just going to be scoobs or other cars to play with?
open pitlane or sessions?
sorry for the 'thick son-of-bitch' questions, but you know what I'm like ;)
If the brakes are fitted in time I might come out and play, but sod's law says the places will be gone by then.
Oh, and what's the deal with spectators? any charge? what about passenger laps? is there a charge? cos if I can't get on track I'll probably pop up to spectate.
thanks
Fat Boy 11 February 2002, 17:02 Hurrah:D. Already booked and paid for on SIDC shop.
If I may quote a certain Mr M Khan " oooooooooppppeeeerrrrlllllllaaaaaaa":D
PS DTS get your new shed(s) ready, and watch your mirrors for CTS
Gary- X705+++ 11 February 2002, 18:20 Are spectators welcome?
How many scoobs are gonna be there?
does it cost to get in to spectate?
Thanks
Gary..
Triggaaar 11 February 2002, 18:41 I'm there. Booked it with Easytrack this morning.
CHRIS_D 11 February 2002, 19:55 stef?
It might just be me being a muppet, but can you clarify whether its on Sunday 24th FEBRUARY or Sun 24th MARCH.
There seems to be some confusion between the online shop at the SIDC website and this thread.
cheers
chris
Spooling

Mellow Yellow ! 12 February 2002, 09:46 Mmmm... I booked an Easytrack day 4 weeks ago for Oulton Park on the Saturday 23rd Feb..I wonder if they'll let me change it ?
I'll go and ask em :)
Fat Boy 12 February 2002, 11:34 5hit. Well spotted Chis D- I didn't notice. I hope it 24/2 or I'm buggered as i'm skiing from 21st to 31st March.
Stef???
Fat Boy 12 February 2002, 12:52 Markus
excellent
CHRIS_D 12 February 2002, 13:58 Markus - are you sure? check this link
http://shop.sidc.co.uk/index.cfm?cat_id=8
sorry, dont know how to make it hyperlink yet
chris
CHRIS_D 12 February 2002, 14:00 forgot to say
if its the 24 feb, then i'll be there, possibly on the track as well
chris
Markus 12 February 2002, 14:15 Chris, ahh, can see the confusion.
SIDC shop says March 24th, SIDC BBS says Feb 24th and easytrack site says Feb 24th.
So, which is it? Stef?
Due to the damage my car's just sustained (thread in general about it) I won't be on track on either date, but will, if it's alllow and free (or cheapish) be there in spectator, and possibly passenger capacity (if anyone has spare lid, can't afford one at the mo!)
Rikki 95WRX 12 February 2002, 20:11 SIDC email said both in the same paragraph just to confuse things farther :)
CHRIS_D 12 February 2002, 21:29 ahhhh
i need to know:)
i want to book it, but need conformation of date
Stef 19 February 2002, 14:12 It is on Sunday FEBRUARY 24th.
Sorry for confision.
There is no entry charge, and passenger charge won't be any more than a fiver.
Stef.
Markus 21 February 2002, 10:04 Cheers Stef,
Will be there, spectating, as usual ;)
Triggaaar 01 March 2002, 16:25 Where were you all? Marcus from Easy track asked who was there from SIDC - must have been two of us.
Oh well - made the 330 bhp yellow evo look like it was going backwards in the wet - oops, that's my trumpet :)
Markus 01 March 2002, 16:43 Well, I was there, but only spectating. Rosco in his white Evo was there, a few others turned up later on and went for a blast.
We (the spectators) seemed to outnumber the scoobs on track!
Rosco 01 March 2002, 23:37 So what car were you driving then Trigaaaaaar?
Triggaaar 04 March 2002, 13:05 I was in an MY00 DBM with low spoiler.
I'm unfairly picling on the evo (was that you?) because it had so much power. May have been taking it easy for all I know. It certainly wasn't taking it easy in the dry - had slicks on, and spun it round Graham Hill bend - great fun to watch, as others were taking it more gently.
Mkhan 04 March 2002, 18:40 I was there and enjoyed 2 sessions for £20.00 ...Best money ever spent..
I know the guy in the yellow evo and I can tell you he was talking it easy otherwise you wouldn't even been able to catch him :wink:
Oh and he was taking it easy because he cooked his brakes
Hmmmmm no Evo for me I think.....:D
Rosco 04 March 2002, 22:19 I had the White Evo.
It wasn't you that did a bit of off roading behind me was it?
Steve
Triggaaar 02 April 2002, 16:32 Have I just missed a month?
Nope, wasn't me off roading, thankfully.
Wouldn't be able to catch him? Sounds like a challenge - bring it on - when's the next Brands day?
Markus 02 December 2002, 11:37 just checked the thread on the SIDC bbs and the easytrack site and they both list 24th FEBRUARY as the date for the BH day. In which case i'll be there, but spectating only (if allowed!) as the brakes might not be fitted by then, and even if they are they won't be bedded in.
