Can't believe it hasn't been mentioned here, but the SIDC are doing Brands on the 1st Monday in February.

Gonna give it a try in the Pug

See here for details : http://bbs.sidc.co.uk/messageview.cf...threadid=47229

 

 

Obviously trying a different circuit as pugs ruled at Bedford last year

Gary

 

You got a short memory mate, there was a Clio there, or are you in denial too

 

What Clio was that then



























































Oh yeah the one that i passed then ended up in the field !!!!

Be great to see you guy's & Gals @ Brands

Tiny..

 

Ok

Couple of answers to Questions

Brands for a Novice, After the briefing a number of track sighting laps may be an option. Sighting laps are there not just for novices but also those who have never driven Brands.

Days format will be governed by the conditions and input from the Track officials and instructors.

Instructors are available and come highly recommended both know the circuit very well and are very used to Scoobies as they also support other southern scooby track events at Castle Combe, Goodwood and also SIDC driver training
at Bruntingthorpe. Infact only last week Mike was driving a WRC Focus and a Group N Scooby.

If you want an instructor my advice is to book one sooner rather than later as i expect everyone will want a slot first thing.

In parallel depending on the number of newbies may request that "hands" go out as passenger to help bed the day in.

Intent is that all attendees will be sent notes for the event prior to the day

 

Yep,

Get that WR1 outta my way

 

See you chaps there

 

10 weeks to go for this event.

Perfect way to start the new year (after driver training at Bruntingthorpe in Jan off course).

Any one else, or has the approaching Crimbo silly season removed your interest in fun motoring?.

 

9 weeks to go, perfect present to your self

 

Just 8 weeks to go to this event time to start thinking about

Oil change/service ready for the event
Condition of brakes and discs
Condition of tyres i.e. will they last the day and get you home afterwards
Track insurance or not
Helmet for the day
Logistics of day (Give yourself time to get there on time).

 

Hopefully the Pug will be up and running again

This time it's the water pump

 

Track insurance - take it from me - it's definately worth it

 

Hi Terry,

Do you have a contact number, and an idea of cost and what's covered?

It's relatively uncommon in bike trackdaying (a more difficult risk to quote for, perhaps). Sensible money tends to be spent on an un-insured dedicated track-bike instead, and I guess that's the way the car market's going too (reminiscent of bike trackdaying 5 years ago!)

Andy

 

Yep, agreed

Speak to UkJohn1 over at Essex Scooby Crew, His last outing at Snetterton cost him (or should I say the insurance company) £4500

On a positive note, the Pug is back up and running with a new cambelt to boot as well

 

 

Hi Andy

Trackday insurance is provided by Eggar Lawson and their number is 0115 941 5255. However we may be able to get a further discount based on numbers - so sugest we start a list for those interested in taking out cover and I think if we can get 10 or more then we could be in for a 10 to 15% discount. I'll speak to Stormy about this one tomorrow,

I would whole heartedly recommend the insurance as I wrote my P1 off at our last trackday - fortunately I was covered

Cheers

Terry

 

im in for the insurance....

 

johnuk1 NO we cant..... howz the scobby also.... ????????

 

i really wanted to come to this, as i have not yet done a track day and wanted meet you lot but i am not in the uk on this date. Will there be more of these events in the next few months, do you lot mind novices at these events.

 

Just so I know, is there any places left?

....and is a half day a possibility?

Dave

 

There are only a couple

I am trying to get the shop adjusted at the moment

Unlikely that a half day is possible but you have my number call me on the day and if we have some early retirements or no shows I am sure we can oblige

 

3 weeks to go.
