beofre i start this is merely a point, not an arguement and i don't want it to be taken the wrong way, ok.

Firstly the National day be organised for july 7 what a superb idea, if its half as good as all the usual sidc events it will be excellant and i can't wait for it. Reading the little bit in true grip, i had one little hesitancy "Other japanese car clubs" If this is organised by sidc for sidc members and other scooby owners, wouldn't it be nice to keep it as Subaru only. As i say it won't bother me in the slightest but i would just like to know what others think about having other makes of cars at a subaru national day. Please take this the right way, a mere question.

Cant wait for the 7th july, would be interested to hear what others think

 

I can see your point re "show cars", it's a Subaru National day afterall, surely you're not saying " don't let other makes come and look" are you? ( loosely speaking).

I have a Fiesta but I'd like to come along for a look

Bob

 

I agree

 

the national hooligan meet sounds to me

where's me base ball cap? LOL

 

So where is this event being held ?? Is there a Thread??

Tony

 

JULY 7th DONNINGTON PARK, LEICESTERSHIRE

 

Benners,
Cheers I like Donny
Tony

 

A solo subaru show I feel.

But everybody should be able to come a drool at the nice cars

Ian

 

Hmmm...Karen and I are getting married on Friday July 5th.

Hang on, isn't Sunday July 7th the British GP date??

 

Squizz,
Karen won't mind putting it off if it's aa all Subaru affair After all you can have a Honeymoon any time LOL

Tony

Ps of course the Stag night at Le Mans would still go ahead

 

Yep, the one bad thing about this event is the date - probably the biggest single motorsport event in the UK apart from the Rally of Britain. Gutted I won't be able to attend Donington, but Silverstone beckons !

T

 

good choice british GP weekend....

 

Just one point that must be made, this was arranged by the SIDC, not all SIDC members are still Scoob owners so it should still be open for current SIDC members whether they still own a Subaru or not. I believe there was a discussion at last years SIDC AGM regarding this in reference to track days and the rules (I believe) remained the same, its the current membership and not the ownership of a Subaru that counts.

I think with the slightly poorer turn out at this years SIDC track days it was an important choice to include owners of marques that had paid their membership, even if they were previously Subaru oners or not.

My 2 pence. I will be there 7th July.

HHmm !

I thought the SIDC stood for "Subaru Impreza Drivers Club" ? To be a member, surely one must be a driver of said car ???
Maybe we should change the club name to AC/DC - Any car drivers club !!

Steve.

 

Lol @ Steve..... fair point though

 

How utterly selfish of you.

I bet half of you don't even realise that a majority of track days wouldn't be possible if it wasn't for alternative clubs being invited, SIDC just wouldn't be able to fill the quotas.

Regardless, there's a very good chance that we won't be allowed on the SIDC stand, which would be reserved for the 'mighty' Subaru Impreza. This I am happy with, but to reserve the whole event to Subarus only?

Open your eyes folks, there's a big wide world out there.

Cem

 

I know of people that have tried to get on to SIDC track days that have been "fully booked". To find later that various "other" makes had been on the day annoyed them somewhat. I don't though, have a problem that where there is a need make up numbers, other makes are invited.

Steve.

 

So all this is in True Grip eh! Another edition I've yet to receive

 

Cem, we are not all ****s you know....

FWIW all you self righteous Scoob owners, the last three SIDC trackdays I have attended have been undersubscribed even with *guests*, so where are all these poor people denied track entry ??

 

Yep....Doc's right

 

Chris, I always am mate

 

Another ex-Scooby owner and SIDC member that will be attending.

Lee

Will us riff-raff get our own car park?

 

Can I come and park with you guys, or will I be barred ??

I could come in the Matiz I suppose but I'd have to leave at about 0300 to get there on time.

 

 

Are Rally Cars Welcome?

and also Legacy's

 

Steveb,

Yes I've tried to book a SIDC track day and couldn't, only to find out later that there were other cars on the track.....

Very Annoying

Cheers Phill C

 

Yes Phil that must have been annoying, but places are offered to Scoob owning SIDC members first, then the rest of us that used to own the marque then finally if the numbers simply aren't cost effective enough its offered out to other car clubs which have close relationships to the SIDC.

So you were either notified late or decided to attend after the places had been offered to another car club.

Looks like this is going to be a major topic at this years AGM then.

...Ian

 

LOL @ sidc

Dingy - banned in the MK 2

 

That's coz you're a nasty scary man who drives too fast and passes nice people in Imprezas

 

Here we go again....

As has already been mentioned, the last few track events were UNDERSUBSCRIBED, so anyone saying they missed out to non-Scoobs is talking tosh.
We are inviting other Jap Car Clubs to the day simply to make it more interesting for everyone. Two of these in particular, the EVO's and Skylines have offered good support to the club on recent events and will be allowed participation in the main sessions.
As far as track time is concerned, then of course priority is given to SIDC members. There are two shorter sessions aimed at other guests and members not wanting full sessions.

We are aware that it's British GP weekend but if you knew how hard it was to secure any weekend at Donno in the summer you'd understand.
Besides, F1 is poo!

I suggest you read the new thread for more info.

Stef.
