Just so that you don't think we aren't doing anything, we are currently planning the forthcoming events. No fixed dates as yet, as everything is still in the planning stage.

End of January. Meeting in Perth, with a drive before and after lunch.

Mid-Jan - Mid-Feb, karting event, probably indoors on a weekday evening. Venue to be decided (Livingstone, East Edinburgh or Aberdeen are all possibilities).

February - corporate type event at Knockhill in conjunction with another car club. You do the new rally course, plus an additional event (e.g. off-road, quads, skid car etc). Lunch and coffee also provided. Cost around ?.

April - track evening at the all new Knockhill race circuit. It's currently closed for a few weeks whilst some work is done to alter some of the corners to provide more overtaking opportunities. Should be interesting to see what changes they make

Other ideas we are working on:

A proper off-road course, using Land-Rovers or something similar. If there is enough interest of course. Yes I know it's not fast and doesn't use Subaru equipment, but it's good fun, and educational.

A trip to Don Palmer's Wetter the Better course. An organised trip for us Scots heading south for a weekend. We'll probably make a detour via some other interesting establishments as well during the weekend, to make the long journey even more worth while. Places will be limited though, and we can probably run this one twice or more if there is enough interest.

 

Heard knockhill was being made shorter! Hairpin being moved as there is not enough run off for motorbikes - means the two short straights will be shorter. I'm doomed! lol

Hi John
Put me down for the track day in April.

I'll be up for the meet in Perth too.
Being in my neck of the woods, I have a few route suggestions.If youre interested, I'll mail them onto you.

Hope the knockhill mods are for the better, longer straights would be nice.More time to cool those molten discs

Hi John,

I'm very interested in the wetter the better tour. Also looking forward to next years trackdays. I feel I've been driving like a granny, so I can't wait to try the new track.

John G,

Sorry I haven't replied sooner. Left rear damper failed, but spring was strong enough to keep the car on the road without affecting the handling too much. Got a new pair of Bilstein struts from Japan (not cheap!) and had them fitted today, so both the car and I are happy again

Hope to catch up with you at one of the forthcoming meets.

Brian
