Funds permitting

Excellent place to meet like-minded petrolheads and people off SN. Makes it more enjoyable if your m8s are there



Oh & dinge, take it as read that you don't need to be an SIDC member to participate at one of their events - just expect to pay a small premium over non-members. That satisfy you?

What the point of this?

Loads of people will say yes, and when it comes to paying the same people will make excuses.

I would re-join if i knew i was allowed on.

I know several people that would rejoin if the SIDC changed the track day policy.

Thats why it reads "genuinely" but is not actually asking for a committment or money for a certain day. Craig is seeking to find out the actual level of interest there is in holding track days at all and those that are likely to attend.

Thats how I read it and I am "genuinely" interested in attending SIDC days.

You don't have to rejoin to participate in SIDC track days. Bedford was open to members/non-members & scoobs/other trash

Is your 'scort actually running ATM?

would love to do a trackday, but whether I can get the time to go to one, and be bothered to pay a few hundred for it is another story. At the moment I'd rather spend the money on modifications.

Craig as per telecon,
I am up for it.
Perhaps you and I should start our own track day organisation.
We probably know enough people to fill a day pretty quickly.
Deffo needs to be £195 member or not.
Membership means nothing to me anyway for £25.

David,

All track days I've been to (bar Elvington) have asked to see a valid license.

I would be interested for defo. Used to be a member and attend the trackdays, which were great (good price, open pit lane, meet with like minded peeps ), until the trouble started with non scoobs being allowed on track I let my memebership lapse after that.


Cheers

Jay

I used to go in my last scoob and have had very good days. But last year I saw too many accidents which has put me off using my new WRX. I would love to attend the SIDC days but in another vehicle. If I could use my 'track car' on SIDC days then I'll go and I wouldn't mind paying a 'little' bit more for driving a non-scoob on the day.

So take that as a yes if I can use a different car.

Eh ?

Are SIDC not running enough KH days for you ? (there are enough for me)

Do you think that other marques are not welcome ? (think about the last one ... there were even two Novas on track ! )

I'm always interested in track day...

but won't be doning anymore till either the new car is built..

or the old car is re-built...

but after that just try and stop me being there...

but only if they are opened up to everyone not just Scooby's as the new car will be a bit of a hybrid (ok, ok it'll be a barstool of differnet cars...)...

Did my 1st SIDC track day Aug 98 @ Castle Coombe, had a great time saw some great cars & met some good people. Also combined this with a weekend in Bath with the wife.
Since then have managed to do at least one a year, what with doing up the house and being a Dad for the first time 5 months ago, Nov 30th was going to be my 2nd Bedford for the year. Cheque was paid on anouncement day, Gutted!

I would be, but last time I enquired I got the distinct feeling that other marques were not welcome (I drive a Cosworth)...if that attitude has died off however, I'd love to.

Yep, I'd be interested, provided no-one objects to a slow black Skoda pottering around the track.

I have been know to venture on track occasionally so providing the dates are OK, yep I'm in. Don't care about venue so much, I'll travel for a good circuit.

Deffo interested - done two so far at Donington through the SIDC, thoroughly enjoyed it. Had signed up for the Trax one this year before it was cancelled.
