[Sarnie]

Yup, Donnington

[AndyC]

I'm in depending on whether I can sort a Cat for it.

 

Anglesey is also worth a look you know, especially now it's been redone.

 

I'm long overdue a trackday.

[Zedrush]

Im up for that too

[sinbad]

Brill, Donny or Anglesey, either will do, didnt really think of Anglesey to tell you the truth, but both are just as far for me.

 

Sarnie - will your car pass the 98dB at donny?

Its 105dB at Anglesey. thats all.

 

Anglesey has both Coastal and National tracks available in Feb. Which one is best Andy?

 

shall we have a chat about it this sat saying as we'll all be out?

[AndyC]

Yep, lets have a chat on Sat bout it.

 

Haven't been on Anglesey since its been redone (only completed this year), just quickly checked on the website, doesn't really look much like the old one. nice & lengthy now by the looks.

 

Suppose it depends who's defo coming nearer the time, as donny would be much easier for Liam & Jay.

yeah thats what i was thinking but he may not be able to make the 98dB's

[Sarnie]

Hmmmmm don't think my car would pass the 98db test at all

[AndyC]

Yeah good point, I would be shocked if it did.

 

U takin the G on tho???

[Sarnie]

Yeah good point, I would be shocked if it did.

 

U takin the G on tho???

I would yeah

[AndyC]

Brave boy.

 

Mind, an open pit lane is probably safer. In my experience people who usually go to open pit lanes generally have some sort of idea about what they're doing.

 

That said, it would mean you would be on the track with anybody and everybody.

[sinbad]

Good man, looks like Anglesey will be the best then.

I'b be up for Doninton in the new year. The Cossie has some diff issues so can't risk going to far. I'm hoping some hard driving will bed the plates in.

 

As for noise, my Cossie gives a static test of 105 Db's and Donington don't normally do static tests. The main sound sensor on te track is on the main straight and I've been black flagged on numerous occasions at 104 Db's or there abouts, so have learnt to just lifting off when going past. I can get through doing this then quite easily normall.

Or there's the Lotus Kev??

[Beavis]

I would be up for any of the tracks.

[sinbad]

More the merrier!!

 

Be Great if you could come Kev, your the track stig

Could you not make it Anglesey? would be a shame if you and sarnie turned up at donny and one or both of you got black flagged.

[Sarnie]

I could make Anglesey, just miles away from me

[sinbad]

I could make Anglesey, just miles away from me

 

Cool!

 

Com-mon Kev

I'm rubbish, just got a fast car...

 

I need to to a test day to see if the diff settles in. I had it rebuilt before te last track day and it's now got a clutch judder type of thing going on whenever you turn. I'm hoping some use will bed the plates in. Also need to get it taxed and MOT'd.

[sinbad]

Would Oulton park be better for everyone then?

Its closer to everyone than Anglesey and has a 105dB limit so everyone should get through ok.

 

Sarnie can only do Donny if he has the standard exhaust put back on and Kevs FORD's broken before it gets to Anglesey

 

No, really, Id like everyone who's stated there interest to come so Oulton sounds like the best compromise. Ive no idea what the tracks like compared to others we've listed though

 

If anyones got any genuine, better ideas, speak now..

[Beavis]

Oulton park would be good for me.

[Kev946]

Oulton Park can be a bit dangerous. Not done it myself but heard of a few offs.

 

I'd be happy to give it a go.

[Sarnie]

Where is Oulton?

[stuey]

Where is Oulton?
