These are just reserved, there are other dates available but as Neil said they do go rather quickly...

I have reserved these for all of us...

1. S600B_DC
2. Mark_B4
3. WRX_Dazza
4. Mneame

check the dates, or if you want to suggest others. it's £190 each for the day, maximum of 4 people.

Mark
Lads,

Which of the dates are we aiming for? My preference is the 14th March, gives us a little more time to make sure our cars are ready and running properly
Just thinking ahead, of booking time off of work, maybe cancel the other dates I have reserved so there free for other to use.

14th march is good for me as you say will be good to have a bit of extra time to make sure the cars are running ok etc.

Hi guys,

Having done this in July, I have to say it's worth every penny.

The two Mrk and Stormy (Trackmasters) that organise it are great guys too.

Be prepared for the timed lap at the end of the training. It's simply
'fun-tastic'.

Due to Dave selling his car for a hairdressers car

We now have a spare slot, for Friday the 14th March.

This requires payment ASAP

Dazza & Matt, if your still up for this we'll need to sort this ASAP.
