Mark - is this the same noise limit as last time? I'd like to run my Magnex full system, but have STI backbox also which quietens it down nicely. Also, is it to be similar format to last time, ie. instructed first session then as-much-or-as-little thereafter?

Andy noise levels are the same however drive by meters have been introduced so if you think the car is load then stick a quieter back box
as you know its more about handling and lines than BHP.
Much the same start off with instructors slowly then use the instructors as much or as little as you wish. Instructors as you know will only introduce to the next techniques if you are ready for the next step.
Not sure what type of course Mike will want to set.
Mike and Antony Wilds are there for you to use and try new things or simply try to go quicker around the course
Steve thats on the list as are Adam and Mike
See you all in a month

Would be great if all could settle this week, any questions let me know.
Tyre wise would suggest you dont need track rubber as the circuit is high grip. Unless you are finishing of a set of tyres.

have a good day guys maybe next timeI had an in-tail pipe silencer made up and it lowered mine from 104dB to 96 dB. It fits snugly into the tailpipe, but you could always get a longer silencer made up that protrudes from the tailpipe - might not look aesthetically pleasing - but will probably do the job.
Drop me a PM or get me at terry.buckel@btopenworld.com on MSN and I'll give you the contact details of who to speak to.
Cheers
