Puff The Magic Wagon!

iTrader: (2)

Obviously we've all been scouring the threads post Dono & whilst theres been a lot of good stuff, prehaps the taste has been a little soured

However, I have noticed quite a few "newbies" appear on Scoobynet, people that were obviously there in some guise or other,who have found out about the on-line scooby community

Most encouraging are the track virgins (no more ) who hopefully have been bitten by the bug

Therefore would like to take the opportunity to welcome all the "newbies" & hope that you'll soon become regulars

Just don't go near the Muppet Forum

All since October last year Am I still a newbie or not?

Anyway back to the track tearing, hopefully next time I won't bottle out of going on.

Watched some scoobs, skylines etc flying around Donno on Sunday and I reckon I'd like a go sometime soon.
What's the best way for a newbie to get into this track day thing?
Pro instruction?
Be driven round by those who know?
Just have a go?

What was the going rate for insurance @ Donno?

A good starting point for newer trackers (new word?) has to be Bedford Autodrome.

Flat & loads of run off. Not quite a hairy as Dono for a first time out

Keep an eye out in track days for the next event.

Bedford sounds like heaven to me...

I'll have to borrow something with a bit of grunt to go in tho'

Thanks for the welcome and encouragement Magic Wagon

It was getting a bit "frantic" in the other thread. Might see you at a track somewhere sometime.

Cheers Ian

I'll keep a lookout for Bedford stuff

I'm a newbie to Dono, 10 laps of the Ring and a few at Bedford. Not a newbie to Scooby Net though

DavidLewis

That does depend on who you ride with

dono is a very safe track which is excellent for newbies, the staff there are very good.

I hope some of you venture out to places like Cadwell Park and Oulton Park, those are more on the lines of traditional UK circuits being much narrower and have less run off. They are fantastic tracks though, very challenging and very rewarding.

LEE P

Wasnt Cadwell originally built for bike racing....it will be narrow in that case!

think knockhill was a bike circuit too?

LEE P

P.s it was my first time at donno and it did feel safe, and i really enjoyed it!

i will defo go again!

ian_sadler

Hi Dave,

Yep Bedford was a bit of an experence BUT you missed my few laps at Dono.

Hows the pipe & slippers?

Loads of sun the last few weeks as well

You're correct about Cadwell being a bike track, and it is "relatively" narrow. Best thing is it hasn't got any pretensions about being an F1 track, so hasn't been spoiled like certain tracks.
