Cheers guys, I will probably see you there (I have to clear it with 'er indoors first). I will be in my MY00 in light blue, and will probably still have my Dutch plates on.

Hopefully see you there,

Mike

Colin,
You mentioned that the cars will be inspected for noise(group D?) how loud is this?
Will I be ok,?(SS D/P, Magnex Mid, SS B/B)

Chris,
sorry for not replying before the event, my computer packed in just after I posted the details.

If you went then you will know that they did not check anything I mentioned they would. If you were put off, then you will be OK for the return in August(I think).

They should have checked who had left their brains in the pit-lane as my second session was spent getting out of the way of the others who were driving too aggressively in my opinion.

I paid for a 3 lap ride with John Cleland in the Vectra and would recommend it to anyone. It is a totally different world, the braking being far more brutal than I could have imagined. It started to rain as we left the pits but it did not slow him down.

Thanks for the reply, I did manage to get on the track, as you said they didn't check anything. Unfortunately they also set me off in the wrong lane ie not with the pace car, so I managed to spin it on the first lap.
I hope I wasn't one of those people that had checked their brains in prior to the start, I think I may have got a little over excited as it was my first time on the track, but hopefully not being dangerous.
You mentioned that the next day is in August, what day exactly?

Thanks

Chris,

Having looked in my Croft yearbook, the next CCC Track Day is on Sunday 24 th. September.

The event I was thinking of is a Charity Day on Sunday 6 th. August.

Sorry for the delay in replying again, hope my computer lasts a bit longer this time.
