I'll be posting out an info pack to everyone taking part next week. I can send it through to you just now, which contains all the info you should need to know if you want ?
It's a good track for first timers, as it isn't too big or has many high speed corners which can catch you out unawares (like Castle Combe).
There's also free instruction on the day available as well.
Cheers

Hi John,
Er, is it something you can mail me to jon@cumbrianscoobs.co.uk as I am doing something there on Thursday (i.e. tomorrow!!)
What you got planned for this weekend or is it next? - is it an SIDC organised event? Unfortunately, I can't take Tia with me tomorrow and she is green with envy so I owe her a day at a race track so the information pack would definately be put to good use
Let me know if you need my postal address
Thanks!

Thanks John
I'm going up with Stan Palmers (Carlisle) for a Prodrive day so won't be running my Sport (phew!)
If Tia and I were to come up week on Saturday, would she be able to have some tuition, etc?
Can't tell you how excited I am about tomorrow

RF,
You will get advice and all the help you need from the regular bunch. Always great fun come; rain hail or shine. And most times we get it all on the same day
Please come and say hello and we'll have fun.

Yep! I think Town & Country took their guests down on Wednesday when the weather was roasting. We were there on Thursday and it was really foggy

Tut,
I'd be mad to refuse
Not sure if i'm brave enough to take someone elses car on...maybe see what the weather is like first !!
Oh...and Robert (technician) from Murray motors says hello.
