you'll have a great time, and there will probably be many there that are slower than you.

just take it easy and enjoy

Mark, You will have an excellent time. There is no need to worry as there are always novices/beginners there. Also, there is NEVER any sense of snobbery or one-up-man-ship at these events. The Track-Action people are a great bunch.. GO FOR IT AND YOU'LL BE ADDICTED :-)

Mark, you really do not need to worry about how quick your car is. When you arrive in the morning introduce yourself to Graeme or myself. Anyway if Mellow is coming you can't be the slowest !!
It will be a great day, plenty going on in the pit garages,you may even be able to get some soup from the Track-Action cook Barry.

See you on the day, Simon.

Simon if it's a 4x4 box [MT75] I could well be interested. A 2wd one is no good.

Chris, I seem to recal a certain Scoobie playing roundabouts not so long ago. Not only that whilst trying to pass a TVR with a heavy load in it

Or were you practicing your CONTROLLED SPIN

Matt,

Not sure what the noise limit is at Oulton but they're usually pretty relaxed on a saturday- think its 102db.

My Sti RA with a full decat only shows 92.6 @ 4500rpm

Anyway, looks like me and TKH will be there with the STi5 RA
