Those that can't afford the weekend

Nothing on the weekend any good Scott ?
Be a shame to miss out

 

[drand]

I've devised a quick itinerary of the 4 days ...

Kudos for organising this for people. I may have mis-read, but do you mean 29 May? cos 29 June is a Sunday by my calendar.

Doh! Yea
29th May - 1st June

It's happening no matter how many people come so its down to everyone who wants to join in. There's only around 7/8 of us so far
And its only as expensive as you make

Edited my post with correct dates

[h701micra]

The trackday was £69 for Thursday evening Open Pit Lane

 

[McMicra]

Is it still a trackday andy? :L or has it totally went AWOL

 

[SirChris]

hmmm sounds clever... and does the car have to be stripped? I remember something being said about hill climb. Can we leave for fuel and return?

That was the Blyton thing (scrapped)
This you bring whatever you have with an MOT

Its turning into a weekend of do whatever slowly

 

[SirChris]

so where is the track day?

 

[h701micra]

[McMicra]

Cadwell has a small forest in and around it

 

[SirChris]

[h701micra]

Cadwell

 

[pollyp]

what time does the evening session start andy? cos I'll see if I can leave work early n drive straight there n drive back on the night.
we pay on the day or in advance?
will mine be ok to enter?

 

[h701micra]

Yours will be fine Paul as long as it has an mot. All that's required is your driving licence. I take my mot certificate with me just in case they ask
Helmet can be hired if needs be

Book in advance is recommended which can be done on most track day sites.
Price now £79 instead of the 'early-bird', £69

Sign on is 1600-1700
Briefing begins at 1700
Track time begins at 1730

 

[pollyp]

Fab, got mot, got helmet, will check trackday.co.uk for cadwell evening, and will check if I can get thurs afternoon off work.

 

[pollyp]

Found it on website. Just gotta check with work on tues then book it.

 

[h701micra]

No worries if not. I need to see how many spaces they have left

 

[pollyp]

According to javelin trackdays there's 12 left

 

[pollyp]

ok since javelin says there's only 5 spaces left, may as well book it now, suck up the cost and see if I get time off work on that thurs.
hopefully I'll see ya'll there

 

[pollyp]

btw I'll be bringing some spare tyres n tools. ya think there's some place to keep em safe or someone to mind them or do I have to just leave it in the open parking lot n hope it's still there when I'm back?

 

[BarnsleyNath]

The later polly, did a trackday with some friends a month or so ago at cadwell. Took my car as a back up and storage although I would of thought stuff would be safe , any other people just left it on the grass where they parked

 

[Belly93]

I may be there witg the van if that helps polly

 

[h701micra]

Its plenty safe enough at cadwell

 

[pollyp]

thx for the heads up nath n andy
that'd be fab belly

just studying footage of the track layout at the mo

 

[h701micra]

Nice and easy really
Couple of corners you need to be wary of. They're off camber and tighten unknowingly but its a good circuit

it looks quite a cosy hill climby like circuit.
long RH Charlies is like a blind off-camber curve aiming for the heavens.
Mansfield will test those brakes
that sudden crest at The Mountain will certainly challenge my stomach
Hall Bends looks fun

 

[pollyp]

got the thurs afternoon off work so will see you there

 

[h701micra]

Great stuff
I personally hate halls bends myself. Something about it. The rest I'm quite happy with

There's a skip/jump middle of the long right hander just to warn you

 

[pollyp]

god it better not rain again on thurs. it poured down at elvington in Jan, just want a dry trackday for more grip and to use my cameras outside.

british weather is pretty pants

 

[h701micra]

Its looking good on the forecast

 

[pollyp]

Its looking good on the forecast

nope, bbc still shows that low pressure ain't going away, gone from inter -> light rain, though their long forcasts do tend to be off frequently

 

[h701micra]

If todays anything to go by. It won't be pretty

 

[pollyp]

wth, k not gonna trust bbc forcast cos its changed back to overcast now
lets just see what happens on thurs.

 

[pollyp]

I'm at cadwell, been through sight lap. Don't see andy or anyone so I'll resume as normal.

You tard.

 

[h701micra]

You tard.

Stronger words were used upon realising

 

[pollyp]

woopsy daisy andy. calander alarm reminder for next time perhaps eh.

tis a challenging technical track frank, definately greasy at the Hills corner under all the hanging trees.
shame no micras turned up although twas a busy session full of very fast cars though.
got lots of footage to edit so update soon.

 

[h701micra]

There was a couple if the group there. Non micra side of my lot went

Glad you enjoyed it. I love Cadwell as a circuit. I snowed myself under with work thinking I had a free week.
Apologies I missed it. But the loss of £69 was enough of a punishment.

I'm at east keel for an autotest in July.. all welcome to that. £10 entry. Full day
