Anyone have directions to the track? I would probably be taking a train from Euston... Which station is closest to the track?

Your help is greatly appreciated,
Eric

 

Good to see passenger money going to charity mate ! Anyone is more than welcome to come in my car as long as you have ear plugs as its a tad noisy. Matt (Civ Type R). Hopefully on slicks, if its dry !!!!!!!

 

Eric.

It's not really well served by the train?

If you are up here early enough, there will be a few of us going up who live locally, so either get yourself to Nottm or Derby?

A short taxi ride will then get you close enough to be collected? I will be leaving (Central Nottm) at approx. 07.00 Hrs from Nottm City centre.
<I>Salsa King and others... Shell service station, Priory Island/A52 circa 07.15 Hrs?</I>

It would be quite an expensive taxi ride?

 

Unfortunately I am flying in Sunday morning, so I won't be able to get up there before noon. Hope that I'll still be able to see some scoobys run!

Should I take a train to Derby or Nottingham?

Thanks again,
Eric

 

Err, don't know about the cost involved but is there a shuttle flight to East Midlands airport?

EMA is right at the side of Donington Park?


Mike.

 

Is there a station at East Midlands Airport?

 

Mike
i will be there. can i have a ride after you have felt your feet/got into the track abit more???

Eric
if you can get to Nottingham on the Saturday and stay in hotel up here, you could meet up with us in the morning! or even get here early sunday! not sure if you could get here then,
a taxi from Nottm to Donnington should cost about £15-£20 if you get up here later!!!

 

Just a quick check - I booked and paid for a place when this was first mentioned, yet I have had no written confirmation back - has everybody else had confirmation ?

 

Not a train station no, which is why I suggested looking to see if there was a shuttle FLIGHT?

Mike.

 

Wow, I was trying to find a shuttle trip from Heathrow, and the least expensive I could find was approx £400... (Train it is... but to where? Nottingham?)

 

I think with the problems with the trains at the moment, you would be much better off just hiring a car from Heathrow and driving up.

Cheers

Ian

 

i have to agree with watty, car makes most sense to me at the moment.

i got confirmation last week, give them a ring.

 

Eric
hire a car and head up the M1 , bring you straight up to Donno, Junction 23a.
the cost of train trickets as well as the weather problem we are having here in the East Midlands, it may be better to get a car!!!!! Donno will b sign posted from the M1 at East Midlands Airport then follow it till you see the sign for Donnington Race Track, dead easy.

 

Eric.

If you are considering car hire, drop Ronnie a line on this E mail

 

Eric

check out details of how to get to the track here:

 

Richard, will do!!! Sorry to have you leave us on the i-Club, but I'm sure you have your reasons and I'll respect your privacy by not inquiring further.

Thanks again,
Eric

 

Definitely attending Donno, sadly this time as a spectator. Want to drive at my first track day soon so thought I'd come along and have a look at what it's all about and pick up a few tips from the pros on the way .
Hopefully bringing a couple of mates and all up for a white knuckle ride in any car that will take us, we all have brown pants at the ready but sadly we have no race helmets, hopefully borrow one...? All willing to pay for charity or to donno track.

What time does it start??

 

Phil,

I'm @ footie in the morning, but will be coming over for lunchtime - see you there!

Kev

 

Phil (salsa-king),

I'll be at footy until lunch, but will see you there in the afternoon! Some of my engine is still at the machine shop. TSL are blueprinting it and rebuilding to the same spec as their rally cars - cool!

Plus I'm getting some extra goodies fitted to enhance performance and protect the engine. I'm hoping it'll be ready by the weekend, but if not I'll be there anyway (another trip to Donno in my sister's Citroen AX Tonic!)

Kev

 

John F/ Simon
It's our kid's 14th birthday on Sunday...
would it be possible for him to get a go
with John in the Westie and someone else
in a Scooby??
Thanks in advance to anyone who offers
Steve C
PS
Stef/john; he was the one who bothered to
take your times at RSOC.

 

Steve.

It will depend on how big he is?

There is a minimum 16yr olds, age limit imposed by Dono.

It is apparently safety related and they need to be happy that the safety belt won't strangle him in the event of a crash.

My son is 12 but he is a 'big' 12 and he comes on track regularly at Dono. Speak to the staff at signing in and they will put you straight.

Mike.

 

Mike,
Thanks for that. He's a big 14
so should be ok. I take it they
won't request proof then.
Is it a case of turning up with
crash helmet and scrounging a ride?
Stevec

 

Booked my car with Ronnie today! Be on the lookout for a guy driving on the wrong side of the road...

Eric

 

please read

 

Wasn't sure if I could make Dono, but seeing as it is now for charitee (mate) - I'll do my best to come along. Had a great day at Brands a few weeks back and would love to blag a few more rides (especially in the Westfield John - I reckon that's going to be quite popular )

Cheers

Chris

 

Scoobie RS! Make sure you don't drive on the track and go round the wrong way ! LOL!

How do we know who you are?

Wearing something distinctive!?

Cheers,

Mossman

 

I'll wear my "Wildwater Rafting Cap"



Looking forward to meeting you all.

Eric

 

Hay Hay

I have come to this thread really late (as usual) I might pop down for the day, if I blag a few rides will I need a helmet ??

Tal

 

I'll be in this:



If you can't spot this in a field of scoobs, you need shooting (or you're a woman)

Passenger seat spare for some of the time if anyone's interested.
