The G Man Posted January 7, 2011 Share Posted January 7, 2011 As the title states, a member of another club I'm a member of, who is a search and rescue helicopter pilot has arranged an airfield trackday and visit, on the above dates. This event is in aid of The Help For Heroes Charity. He has kindly allowed me to open up the event to this club There is a limit of around 80 vehicles, there are currently around 60 commited to the event, so spaces may become a premium. This leaves a few spaces for your big bad and beautiful Z's The trackday is on Saturdayy the 9th, with the visit to the base facilities and a tour of the search and rescue facilities on the 8th. The trackday will be managed by the Anglesey Race Track marshals, who will help to make it a safe day. The usual track rules apply. Helmets are also required for the track. Airfield indenmnity insurance is required, @ £60, for any claims that may occur on the airfield that is deemed to be their fault (This includes track time). Personal track insurance is the responsibility of the individual. Safety vehicles, ambulance/fire will be provided by the RAF. Food, beverage is available along with toileting facilities on site. There may be some sort of flying display and some exotic cars on show, some main dealers are also attending with a selection of cars, Audi/VW, Honda, Mazda and BMW, all have shown an interest. A two seater open Formula Ford and driving tuition by professional drivers, in your own car, will be available at a small cost. There will be a raffle as well with prizes in the region of a tank of fuel/set of tyres or similar. They are currently negotiating with North Wales Police to adjudicate on standing 1/4 milers, in any case the main runway will be utilised for speed trials There is also a STRONG possibility of some celebrity presence (they are aiming high and you know who is based there ) For those that wish to stay on Saturday night, there will be a run out into the Snowdonia area on the Sunday. There are a few hotels in the area, the Cymyran Hotel and a travel lodge in Holyhead, where I'm staying. I will be posting an email address soon to take bookings. A welcome pack will be sent out requesting vehicle details, names etc so that passes can be prepared. Payment will be in the form of a check sent with the details by post. I hope some of you can make it (If this is the wrong place to post, can a mod please move it, oh and can it be made a sticky) Names 1. The G Man 2. 3. 4.

RICO Posted January 7, 2011 Share Posted January 7, 2011 I did the Pace Car in the zed a few months ago for the RAF Valley Motorcycle Track Day and it really is a good track, lots of grip, some good fast corners. Would definitely recommend!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Neilp Posted January 7, 2011 Share Posted January 7, 2011 sounds like a plan, maybe if theres space we could pursuade some of the people who are scared to track their cars to join in Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The G Man Posted January 7, 2011 Author Share Posted January 7, 2011 Loads of space at the moment This is probably the most gentle type of track day No excuse for not joining in and the bonus is you get to own some rotary's and RS300's Get booking Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Will370z Posted January 10, 2011 Share Posted January 10, 2011 Ummm now this looks like fun and a good cause. I will check my diary Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mc Posted January 10, 2011 Share Posted January 10, 2011 Sounds like a great weekend! I'd normally be working up that way around that time of year, but unfortunately not this year. I'd recommend the Cymyran Hotel as already mentioned, I'd say its the best in the area, also nice and out the way for parking Zeds I've not used that travelodge but wouldn't normally touch them with a bargepole. Also Holyhead is a bit rough imho. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Wasso Posted January 11, 2011 Share Posted January 11, 2011 After reading the note supplied it appears crash helmets must be worn? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GT4 Zed Posted January 11, 2011 Share Posted January 11, 2011 You should invest in one if you intend to keep the trackday bug going Cheaper in long run to renting. I have an expensive Shoei can from my motobike days but i saw some good deals at Autosports at the NEC last year for circa £150 (meets all type approval/regs) Unfortunately they were only white ones left I hope to go early this time so i can get some black ones. 15th - 16th for your diary Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The G Man Posted January 11, 2011 Author Share Posted January 11, 2011 After reading the note supplied it appears crash helmets must be worn? Yup that's the case, if you have a passanger they need one as well I'm sure we all know a nice biker that will allow a borrow of a spare one Can all those that have voiced an interest in this please add their name to the list and as to whether you've sent for and completed the application pack, thanks. Weather and operational requirements permitting, there's to be a demonstration of the SAR Sea King' capabilities on the Saturday as well 1. The G Man 2. Wasso 3. Neilp 4. Vik54 5. remould 6.
