Track day - Curborough Sprint Circuit Friday 30th March

Strictly speaking there are not a great deal of rules. The day is run by us. We have the keys, we basically do whatever we want.
You can wear a helmet if you wish, some of us did, some of us didn't last time I went. Extinguisher wise I intend to have one to hand like before, but if you have one in your own car even better.
Rules wise there is only one car allowed to be "driven at speed" on the track at any given time. There is no "drifting" - but none of us will be doing that, a bit of backend action is alright though.
Racing only allowed between 10am-1pm and 2pm-5pm. Nothing before, nothing between, and certainly nothing after.
Hope that helps

Gutted I missed out on this, would deffinately be up for it another time if one is organised. And the WMI timing bored (in a top gear style) would be an ace idea too!

Trackdays aren't allowed to run from the sprint startline, unless they've changed that rule? Also if Dave Pattison finds people timing he won't be too happy.
Now Im worried....

To be honest Chris, I'm not sure we would get that many interested, it's quite hard getting money out of people these days! Plus competition within a club isn't always the best of ideas, but that's my opinion, and I wouldn't like to speak on behalf H

Reading the thread today sounds like its going to be a blast. H, its hard enough getting out the house with the little one around let alone come to the midlands for the day. Looks like a good turn out so enjoy WMI.

Right, bit of a plan for the day:
First some location details as it's a bit of a pain to find.
Location on Google Maps
On SatNavs it's probably best to put in something like "Netherstowe Lane WS13" as I don't have a complete postcode for it.
If you are racing, please be at the Circuit no later than 9:30am
Track time starts at 10am
Lunch when there is no racing permitted is from 1pm-2pm
Track time continues again from 2:00pm
Track time finishes at 5:00pm
If you are coming to watch, please note that I have to come and open the gate at the front/entrance of the track and so will not be wanting to go back and forth each time someone arrives, so please choose to arrive at one of the following times:
09:30
10:30
11:30
12:30
13:30
14:30
15:30
When you arrive please give me a call/text so I know you're at the gate on 07763616946. Please do not arrive in between these times.
I will be posting details of a local Shell, and pub that we can visit a bit later on.
Thanks
