Default Driver training North Weald 9/12/07

Just seen this thread, and fancy this. I know a couple of other people had mentioned this earlier this year:

https://www.scoobynet.com/track-days...rth-weald.html

Don't know how many spaces left but very tempting

Especially after being taken out recently in Zak's scoob to get a feel for a different turbo etc... would like to be able to drive mine more enthusiastically

Mate, I'll be up for, maybe we could get four of us together for it... I was talking to a few people at the HWH about this last week

He takes group's of four per day, so should be able to fill a day with ease...

Probably not the best time of year to be doing it though.

Ok see what other interest is there, plus local to Zak if car goes pear shaped

Can just leave it there to get fixed

au contraire

you'll be spending the majority of your time spinning or sliding and you'll be praying to the rain gods after a while trust me. Plus the cold air is denser providing more power to the engine.

More power + less grip = muchos grinning amigo

Mark,

it's a great time to do it, if damp, it actually makes it easier to learn some technics as things happen at lower speeds.

The 4 car days are very good, there is nothing that will make you faster for the £ spent than a day with Andy Walsh!

Guys, these days tend to get booked up well in advance, so you might want to book up now, even if for next year.

Good point Neil.

Ok I have just looked at the dates and we have:

1st, 11th, 12th & 13th February 2008

3rd, 4th, 5th & 6th March 2008

Cost is £190 per person based on a 4 driver day.

I would rather the March dates but am entirely flexible if that doesn't suit.

Let me know by late this week and I will ring to book/get details.

Cheers guys
David

I have reserved 3 dates, they are all Fridays so we get a long weekend from work

22 February 2008
7 March 2008
14 March 2008

These should give us all time to get any required work done to our cars

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
