I say first time @ Knockhill, this will be my first time on track

Is it a good one for a newbie and anything in particular to watch our for?

Cheers, Jon

 

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

John

 

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!

 

It's an SIDC event on the 26th July (Saturday morning).

I'll e-mail through the info pack later from work, although I probably have an older one with similar info I could send through just now.

John

 

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

 

Thanks for the pack John - only thing missing is the price for the 26th?

 

The cost for the 26th is £65 for SIDC members, £70 for guests.

Open pit lane, free use of instructor, free passenger laps, free helmet hire etc.

4 hours track time from 9am to 1pm, with driver sign on at 8am.

John

5 Don't go too fast too soon.

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.

Johnny

 

tut

Not planning on it

was that photo from the Prodrive day at Knockhill? My wee bro was there as he got an invite off someone at T&C... he loved it!

 

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

 

Johnny. I was serious. Keep it on the tarmac and you are welcome.

tut

 

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.

Johnny
