Just another question...are spectators welcome and do they have to pay??
Thanks!!

[StevePH]

Yes and no. In that order

If they want to passenger then it's a tenner to sign in but free to come and watch.

[danny_duke01]

Hi Kerrie

I'm afraid that this one is fully booked now.

Next ones we will be doing are a driftday at Oulton and a trackday at Cadwell, both in March.

Hope you can maybe make one of those instead?

march it is then lol

[gareth]

just recieved my information pack by email
a few questions: are there any specific helmet types required or will any old bike one do? I have a decent full face one (in lary jap speedy bike YELLOW) that a guy at work gave me. anything i need to check on it? It's nearly new so no worries there.
Also, do i need to take my full license or just the photocard bit? i can't find the paper bit at the moment..

Under a week to go
'Just' need to change the rad, fan, fit 325i oil cooler, fit M30 oil filter housing with cooler ports, make up and fit custom oil cooler pipework, tweak suspension setup, lose the rear seats (for what it's worth ) change the brake fluid. not much then

[StevePH]

I think just the card will do but they can call the DVLA if you do need the rest, usually just costs a couple of quid.

Helmets are not scrutineered so as long as you are happy wearing it you should be fine!

Sounds like you need to get cracking on the rest of the stuff though!

[gareth]

hehe, it sure does sound that way! it's all in the garage, awaiting a mad 'fitting-fest' tomorrow

cheers

[gareth]

I just thought i'd post up and say a big thank you to StevePH and the trackaction guys for organising this, it was an absolute hoot!

My late clutch dramas turned out to be the flywheel bolts falling out at least nothing expensive is damaged, luckily! Otherwise i think us lot did ok against the skylines and some seriously fast supercharged 306's and minis etc.

I also want to say a BIG thank you to Steve and the guy's for a great day...it was fantastic!!
It was great to meet you too Gareth...and yes i think we did do ok against the Skylines!!

[StevePH]

We had a great day out at Brands, a wet start with one unfortunate casualty (car, not driver!) but only three red flags all day, very little queueing and great behaviour on track from all the drivers. We had everything from Porsches to Peugeots and Skylines to Minis out there and all going very well indeed!

















I'd forgotten just how steep Paddock Hill is!

Big thanks to all the guys that came along for making it such a good day, if anyone wants to get some more Trackaction don’t forget we are at Cadwell on March 26th and we will be drifting at Oulton on March 13th, threads are on here or shout up for booking info to get the club discount!
