Would be nice to see a few scoobs there! All for a good cause too.

I might be interested in this (heck of a long drive for me, but I do like a good road trip), all depends on work etc if I will be away or now. I will need to speak with my brother to see what he says, but I may need to put my job hunting on hold so I can go to this such worth while event, our lads need all the support they can get.

agreed. Need someway to promote this on SN a bit better. Wonder if the admins will give a free banner as its for such a worthwhile cause.

steve1965 03 May 2009 10:27 PM

just booked up now

I see lots and lots of incidents/accidents occuring at this "track", lots of obstacles just off the tarmac and a less than grippy surface=trouble.

Full kudos to the man who managed to organise it though :thumb:

scoobyc 04 May 2009 11:40 AM

moral of that story then is dont crash :P

I'll pray for dry weather for you, have fun :thumb:

jayallen 04 May 2009 12:36 PM

Its not just about the track day thats just a bonus its where the money goes thats the main thing, IMO a much better cause than sending out the country.:thumb:

Paucatuman 07 May 2009 05:55 PM

Argh Pants, it's full!!

I have to say that Subaru are very poorly represented :razz:

The company I work for deals with Abro loads down at Bovington. I'm going to see if we have a contact to Major James Cameron or somebodyelse, maybe we can get a Subaru day sorted :luxhello:

Watch this space.

scoobyc 07 May 2009 09:24 PM

Such a good mix of cars there its gonna be awesome :)

Mark1983 29 May 2009 02:33 PM

I'm gave in when Jim offered a cancellation space so I'll be driving instead of paxing. He also said Drivers Republic will be in attendance in a new Lamborghini. I'm seeing Jim and Al tomorrow so I'll see if I can find out any other details.

scoobyc 31 May 2009 08:19 PM

jayallen 31 May 2009 08:32 PM

It took Jim long enough to arrange this charity day for H4H so chances of a Subaru only day are slim but you can ask...

scoobyc 04 June 2009 12:49 AM

2 days to go.... and the car is still in pieces!

Wish me luck getting it back together guys!

Ill be in the silver classic pop over n say ello.

jayallen 04 June 2009 05:30 PM

What time you guys arriving, the gates open at 7.15am

Looks like someone has pulled out there's now 1 space left.

Mark1983 04 June 2009 05:30 PM

I'll be in my blue 55 plate STi, I'll be with some mates in a 350Z, Clio 182 and Focus ST. Weather not looking good so looks like some proper road tyres are going on.

Stopping over in Southampton Saturday night so only an hour drive in the morning.

We'll probably leave Southampton at 7am and arrive at 8ish.

steve1965 04 June 2009 05:41 PM

im about 20 mins from southampton will be there for about 7am

dark grey 08 sti hatch

jayallen 04 June 2009 07:27 PM

Its only a 15 minute drive for me but still aiming to get there early...Ill be in a Version 3 STI RA

Weather does look grim but it may all change.

:wonder: Putting it in my car when needed :lol1:

There's a Shell station nearby so full tank in the morning which will probably last the day as it's TF rules and it's going to be wet. If not I'll pop out and brim the tank at lunch. I don't see the point in taking jerry cans.

jayallen 05 June 2009 12:33 PM

Mine does about 8 miles to the gallon on a trackday so no doubt ill be popping out for a top up...:freak3:

As mentioned the Shell Garage isnt far away, Bere Regis.

scoobyc 05 June 2009 01:44 PM

Ok thats good then. Wet is going to be fun. :D

Work is hectic today so gonna have to get tracked/further diagnoses tomorrow instead.

Things are looking better. I think the rack is strong enough to last the day for sure, may have to not go balls out fast tho.

scoobyc 06 June 2009 06:14 PM

Cars back in working order. All ready for tomorrow. Its still a bit squirmy on power and heavy breaking. Quite greasy out on the test drive, so tomorrow should be fun/down right dangerous. Car seems a little bit snappy and i feel i need a front LSD :)

Put my wets on which are just crappy old tyres and the steering is off again. I guess i ruiend the tyres on the spin too, they must now be larger or bent or something. Ahh well wear them out and get some slicks on em :)

See you tomorrow. Hope there is a burger van there!

jayallen 06 June 2009 09:36 PM

Its just started to rain down here...not good :cry:

jayallen 07 June 2009 08:49 PM

Great day today and nice to meet you Steve and Chris:thumb:
