Would love to go onto the track, is it a open day and if so how much for the track. As I remember prept did something last year and that was quite cheap and then there was that moron that almost crashed into the stand in the car park, do you go prept, as I found it a waste of time on the majority whenever I went but the corrado owners from down south are the only good bunch I've seen down there

Track days are generaly pretty safe.  If you've done a number of them on a bike you should really know that.

If you have a proper cage you won't need strut braces, you're f*cking obsessed with strut braces.  :rolleyes:
Just because you're offended doesn't make you right.

So as its now at a Usable point, i would do just that, USE IT, do one track day and make sure its for you.


indeed. from my admittedly not massive track experience ( 5 trackdays and a ringtrip) and chatting to others i have come to the conclusion that theres no real point to building a full on, expensive track car. At the end of the day, you wont be spotted by redbull racing talent spotters, noones timing you, and as long as your going quick enough to have fun then its all good. A standard vr stripped will be fine for this. When you start to master it and want a bit more speed, then start looking at upgrades, or just buy a scooby and start the learning curve all over again. 


Some one mention a scooby?
