anyone interested in meeting up for a track day??

[VeeDubGTI16v]

on a southern airfield yeah toph

Sounds interesting.

if we have appropriate safety equipment (buckets, harnesses and cages) in some of the forum regular's track cars AND an appropriate disclaimer, selling passenger sessions for X laps a time through the day (for charidee or to cover costs) that might provide an unusual slant on the event.....

That sounds good, there are loads in the south, Keevil is meant to be good near chipenham (close to Coombe) even if my track car isn't ready i would be up for some spectating/thrill rides in a passenger seat

this is getting intresting.    i'll be up for hooning round an airfield

Plenty of localish airfield venues in the vacinity of Combe.

Keevil, Hullavington, Colerne and Abingdon. Only trouble is that they are all still active mod bases. Insurance for organising a day of your own at these venues may be prohibitive, plus you will need certified marshalls etc. But if you are serious approach someone like Motorsport Events and they would probably be interested in running the whole day for you for a good price, plus they have the insurance and the staff.

If you want a very cheap track to hire then Llandow just across the Severn Bridge is about the cheapest in the UK.

Off to Hullavington tomorrow.

i have access to X-number of track/race cars with professional drivers for the day (although not all of them are vag), never even thought of passenger rides so good shout
the one in mind is a pretty uk central location.. i can arrange a smaller more hardcore one somewhere like cadwell at a later date on a shared day

[AaronGS]

i would be interested, especially if location is central as I am up north.

[RyanMac]

Is this still being planned toph as I'll be up for it.....

[Tazzy]

hopefully me jumping on this thread will be of some use

has anyone heard of shakespeare country raceway, long marston airfield, stratford?

well on sunday 17th october, theres a run what ya brung day there, my club are going as were having a competition with another club, however, as its an already organised event, were just jumping on board as a side-event, so expect it to be busy with drag bikes, track-built drag cars, probably the almera club, as well a couple of ford clubs

should be a ood day, how about it guys?

its £12 on the gate, with £20 for unlimited runs, halmets must be worn (something to do with their insurance)

[topher]

SCR is just a drag strip isn't it? That's kind of the opposite of what i was aiming at, we already have the GTI festivals at Pod and GTI International for straight line action.

I haven't forgotten about this, it's just the wrong (i.e expensive) time of year right now to try and get any sort of track to ourselves. The venue i'm looking at is literally double price during race season. I could probably sort something at Mallory but it isn't the newbie friendly type of track we need for most members here.
