ryan lang Posted October 4, 2011 Share Posted October 4, 2011 im not worried as i have been on track before, but its jades 1st time, and its a bday present so want her to enjoy it and not have somebody who doesnt know shes never been on track before get arsey with her lolat least everyone here knows its her car and to be wary that she hasnt been on track before etc etcjust may be something to consider to make the most of the day for everyone Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Hou Posted October 4, 2011 Author Share Posted October 4, 2011 Will just get her a learner sticker for the back then dude I am sure everyone will be forgiving, but sadly with it being open pit I can't control when she goes out Quote Link to post Share on other sites
ryan lang Posted October 4, 2011 Share Posted October 4, 2011 yeah no worries dude, ill have to get her to get some practice in then lol Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Hou Posted October 5, 2011 Author Share Posted October 5, 2011 If you guys were prepared to share to get it to the 40 cars £110 weekend rate I already have 12 interested on Celica Club, otherwise I will just run 2 days Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Idrees Posted October 5, 2011 Share Posted October 5, 2011 As mentioned by Ryan, I think we'd struggle to get 40 Starlets to get on track. I think the only way would be to open it to another forum. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Hou Posted October 5, 2011 Author Share Posted October 5, 2011 Could maybe arrange it though that for a 20 mins session or something we have a starlet only sesh?Also got something else up my sleeve for a cheap sprint day, just awaiting prices Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Steve GT Posted October 5, 2011 Share Posted October 5, 2011 When you thinking of finilising a dateonly worry i have is Japfests in May would really hate to clash with thatits normally around 14th may give or take a few days lolalso if this goes ahead and people want to know where any hotels etc are just ask me or socks Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Hou Posted October 5, 2011 Author Share Posted October 5, 2011 Don't worry, I will make sure it does not clash, completely forgot about Japfest to be honest!If I say you have until the end of October to get an idea on numbers before I pencil a date in with the track, then if will give me time to tap up other clubs if needed Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Steve GT Posted October 5, 2011 Share Posted October 5, 2011 cool cooldamm not going to know Japfest date till december i dont think lol Quote Link to post Share on other sites
LukeSR Posted October 5, 2011 Share Posted October 5, 2011 I would be up for it but its a 2 hour drive.. To far to take our track car Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Hou Posted October 5, 2011 Author Share Posted October 5, 2011 Its never too far, it is about a two hour drive for me in the celica, if that fails I will have to use the AA to get home Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Dan507 Posted October 5, 2011 Share Posted October 5, 2011 Man up luke. It's like a 4 hour drive for me and shorty. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Hou Posted October 5, 2011 Author Share Posted October 5, 2011 Just found out that if we booked this for a Saturday we could actually camp on site! Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Hou Posted October 10, 2011 Author Share Posted October 10, 2011 Might be going here for a track day with one of the track day companies on the 30th October for a trial and to meet them. Anyone want to join me for a £25 discount making it £90 for the day? Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Hou Posted October 12, 2011 Author Share Posted October 12, 2011 Been thinking some mor about dates, going to try for the last weekend of April/First weekend of May so that it does not clash with anything, keeps cheap and the weather should hopefully still be goodWhat you think?

aaddzz123 Posted October 12, 2011 Share Posted October 12, 2011 I am DEFFINATELY up for this!!! I don't care what she says, Zoe is also up for this because she needs to grow (not literally) some balls and attack corners instead of quivering at them . Count us in!1.

DaveyDemolition Posted October 12, 2011 Share Posted October 12, 2011 Complete and utter novice when it comes to racing track days, been to a few but never raced, i would love to do this though! and would be down for camping, i would probably be quite slow around the track but would probably pick up a bit towards the end but then again its only a 1.3 so everyone will probably be flying past me. only thing that worries me is ragging it to hard and doing some damage to the car and not being able to get home, but ill just have to make sure im covered by the AA ;) Also if theres a few people going from south wales, maybe we could get a little convoy together to drive up there beforehand. but yeah definatley down for this. although ill probably get laughed at on the track, but it will be a laugh!1.

Taggy Posted October 12, 2011 Share Posted October 12, 2011 ah bummer 270 miles from Swansea is a bit to far for me i am afraid Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Hou Posted October 12, 2011 Author Share Posted October 12, 2011 Don't worry Dave, I am sure it will be a decent mix of cars with different speeds and driver abilities. I for one have never driven on a track properly but there is plenty of run off incase it all goes tits up! Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Hou Posted October 13, 2011 Author Share Posted October 13, 2011 Just got off the phone to another track day company (Javelin), how does Saturday 28th April sound? Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Hou Posted October 16, 2011 Author Share Posted October 16, 2011 Any opinions on this date people?They also said we could run a short newbie only session for those that are worried and also we could even run a spring comp at the end if we wantedCamping is £10 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
