Cadwell Park Trackday, March 27th with Trackaction-online

[Easy007]

Well after successful first year in 2008 the boys @ trackaction-online (http://www.trackaction-online.co.uk/phpBB2/index.php) have started to book some more dates for the coming year.

I've did a few events with them last year as a complete newbie and had a great time. The days all went smoothly and there was a plethora of different cars to entertain all day.

There second event booked so far is a Cadwell Park (http://maps.google.co.uk/maps?hl=en&ie=UTF8&ll=53.308724,-0.059395&spn=0.039848,0.091324&t=h&z=14) trackday on Friday, March 27th. I'm not 100% but assume it will run on the full circuit which happens to be one of the best in the country and will be an open pit lane.

Prices:
£150 for the General public
£125 for SXOC members
and can be booked here (http://cart.trackaction-online.co.uk/index.php?p=product&id=11&parent=0)

I believe helmets are available for hire at the circuit.

Attendees:

1. Easy007
2. Cluck
3. SteA
4.
5.

Oh go on then, twist my arm :D

I'll see if I can stay on the track this time :wack: :o

EDIT : It had better not be raining this time :whip: ;)

[Easy007]

:clap:

Yeah i'm hoping it's not raining or at least not torrential :whip:

[SteA]

I will be booking in the next week or so :thumbs:

Its always torrential at Cadwell :wack: Awesome circuit though :D

Yep, I loved it. Until ~3.30pm when I went off :wack:

[Easy007]

Yeah i wasn't a fan of ~3.30 either :wack:

[Cluck]

Yeah i wasn't a fan of ~3.30 either :wack::o

s'not my fault though really :no: . If they'd let you out on track in your own car you'd never had been in the passenger seat ;). Anyway, I best stop spamming this thread :wack:

[Easy007]

If they'd let me out in my own car i'd've probably been in that bank before you. iirc my tyre tread depth was a little low at the start of the year..... just over 2mm springs to mind :eek: and it would've been aquaplane central :indiff:

Hi fellas

Keep adding names to that list and we should get a really good SXOC showing for this event.

It will be run on the full circuit and we always include free instruction for anyone that wants it so it should be a great day out :thumbs:.

For anyone who hasn't been to Cadwell before all I can say is that it's the best drivers circuit in the country and well worth the trip, if you haven't trackdayed before then you'd be very welcome to make this your first outing!

I'll PM discount codes in a few days so stick your name on the list if you want to come along or feel free to post up any questions :cool:.

Cheers

It better bloody had! :D

[Easy007]

Lol.... I assume you'll be in attendance in a buggy?

[Jonny]

Mmmmm... Tempting... :D

[Cluck]

It better bloody had! :DNo, it had better bloody not :smash:

[BuggyofDoom]

No, it had better bloody not :smash:

Well you can pay for the tyres then.

[Cluck]

Well you can pay for the tyres then.Cheaper than paying for damage :p :o :wack: :D

To be honest, I don't mind if it rains - I would just prefer it to be dry to see what can really be done on the circuit. It is a great track :nod:

[BuggyofDoom]

You might change your mind after the bill for 5 sets of tyres....;)

[Steve PH]

Stick some slicks on it :thumbs:

[BuggyofDoom]

With 100% lockup on the rear diff?

*Bang*

:D

[Steve PH]

Does it count as a diff if it's 100% lockup :confused: :D

[BuggyofDoom]

It unlocks on the brakes...:D

[Easy007]

i'm still convinced my diff is welded.... you'll be fine.

[BuggyofDoom]

Yeah, but our diff. is built into the gearbox, 's not cheap if it goes clonk, hence sticking to the mud tyres!

[Easy007]

Sorry forgot to add the :wack:

Mud tyres = more fun

[BuggyofDoom]

Rain = more fun.

[Smiley]

i might wait till nearer the time for a weather forecast after last time i might aswell have been in a boat

[BuggyofDoom]

All aboard!

[Cluck]

Going to bump this for a few reasons :-

1. It's only a month away
2. The weather has started to turn and I've got round to thinking about 'driving' the car again
and
3. I want to go back to Cadwell and want my discount code :D

[BuggyofDoom]

Well, I'm racing near there at the weekend and kipping 20 minutes down the road, so will probably call in Friday even if we don't take the buggy.
Guy might be taking the fouquet even if I don't go with him.

[SteA]

Very sadly we have had so many issues with my engine its stupid :( sadly I wont make this as my car still isnt on the road..... no chance to borrow a car this time and the wife will toast my nuts if I take her new car on track :wack:

One day, maybe, just not this year :o
