Next Track Day

[Melv]

How many, particularly those in the North, cannot do days other than PCGB due to insurance restrictions???

From the list (thanks Ian) the Silverstone day comes out quite well when comparing the price (for members) to Goldtrack days which are £329 in the summer this year. The extra £21 for the PCGB day gets us open pitlane and all Porsches with a limit on numbers. Although I like Goldtrack as an organiser, their normal sessioned days can be a bit hectic and are often populated by race cars. Might have to pencil that one in [].

Makes Silvers look good value Steve!! But, I get bored on the GP....[]

However, I really fancy doing Goldtracks day on the Historic GP cct at Silvers in as it cuts out the two 90 degree/second gear lefts at Club and Abbey -should be mentally quick into Bridge!![]

I think most of us can and do other days.

I thoroughly enjoyed Cadwell Park when I did it (only once so far) --- but it's certainly on my radar for this year.

The problem with the Southern tracks is where cars aren't trailer'd, I have a 5000 mile limit and Jason says high mileages on collectables are a disadvantage .... [:-]

p.s. I like to see my 'mates !!

Jonathon Palmer where are you? Hopefully he's already seriously considering his Donington options. Meanwhile I still can't see much on thePCGB list to take my fancy, I was going to consider Snetterton in 2010 but its not on the list, probably due to lack of support from people like myself. It doesn't look good from here in the North, that's for sure, even worse than last year. Any suggestions? I probably cannot justify Spa even though I'd love to go.

Ian, this is maybe why we have to support whatever we can ???

Chris, fair comment. I can normally afford a max of 4 trackdays per year and tend to prefer PCGB, typically Donington, Croft, Oulton and , in a previous life, Cadwell. All excellent tracks you'll surely agree and reasonably accessable for me in a day.The loss of Donny and Croft is why I was considering Snett but it aint there!

Mel, my insurance with Peart (about £500/year) inc's 5 trackdays per year with any recognised organisations, not just PCGB.

I was budgetting for a chassis re-allignment and a change from worn-out SSR's to 888's but I'm not so sure anymore. Assuming a more positive outlook I hope Croft does make it onto the 2010 calendar and the same goes for Donington, possibly with another trackday organiser.

Finally, has anyone heard from 65MAT lately?

Happy New Year.

I sent him a text but no reply. 'tis turkey season though.

Yes I received a text from him this afti --- and suggested that we could discuss the track days for 2010 on the RS day at Oulton ?

Ian, I fully understand the cost of track days --- I believe there are some discounts to be had by booking a few at once --- I did Easytrack Oulton and Cadwell last year at a good discount, and I believe three can be bought for almost half the cost of the PCGB days ??

Croft ? Try Teeside -- small but quite fun []

Donnington, --- what will happen ?? How could such a great circuit get itself into such trouble ??

Anglesey ?

Cadwell --- OK

Oulton --- OK

??? [][]

We'll find a way ...
