Good man ....... we will try to keep you guys honest on the track.
Just as long as no-one moans about my driving style. I have to get as close as i can in bends to intimidate you into moving out of the way before you disappear on the straights

I was waiting for that one
BECAUSE THEY ARE ALLOWING UPTO 100 cars
They ARE also charging for Pit Garages and they also have lots of traders that they charge
We decided that 50 was a good number plenty of safe track time and no overcrowded pit lanes
Dare I say it how a SIDC Track day should be run
Without going into all the details this event is not run to make money
IIRC we need 43 cars to pay for the actual Track time We then have to cover the other costs i.e. Insurance, Postage,Etc
We do have several Sponsors attending Xtreme Scoobies, SGM, TSL [tbc], Crossroad Garages. We do not charge them as they support the club through out the year and to be really hoest do not actually make a great deal of money on the day. If they want track time they do actually pay for it as well.

I've been trying to talk our R32 loving friend, whose been just slightly rude in Other marque to bring his (so called ) R32 along but he cant be talked into it. I guess the fact that he has just owned up and admitted to driving a 1.6 pug has something to do with it

If you think you are anywhere near the limit don't bother to go out.
Take it from a man with the unfortunate experience of being one of the 3 last time who broke the limit.
A very short day.
