Anybody doing the Motorsports Events trackday on the 23rd of this month? I might go for it if the weather looks OK.

No but booked for Hullavington this Frid. (16th). £20 cheaper and their longest track.
Forecast looks good.
Cheers, Pewe

Hullavington is a bit far for me

Though on Google maps it only appears to be 40 miles further than Abingdon.

Maybe if I can get the day off!

I would love to go as it is only 50/60mins from me..........but I believe they are very strict on noise levels and I know that mine is over 102dB

I changed my exhaust last time I went for an R1 can and was well under.

I only have 2 other cans and they are both old race cans of my bikes, so they will be well over the 100dB mark as well

If i can get the lsd diff all fitted i may well be up for Abingdon

spdpug i found the noise limits easy to pass, i think my mnr can was 88bd but at sva i'm sure it was 96db

I think I'll wait to see what the weather is like and hope it doesn't get booked up.

John, let me know if you decide to go.

looking unlikely now Stu, as i'm waiting on some new rear uprights from mnr to convert to lsd and bolt on shafts.

i'll be lucky to get them before friday next week and then i need to bolt it all together!
Gutted as i want to go back to Abingdon, might aim for the one after, but might be a bit chipper

It's looking unlikely for me as well as I realised I needed to send my driving license off for renewal and haven't got it back yet!

If the weather looks ok for the next one I'll probably go for that as well.

On the basis of M/Sport Events day at Hullavington last Friday the license inspection and noise test was cursory to say the least. They really want you to have an enjoyable day and come back for more rather than some places where jobs-worths are in charge.
Having said that they probably wouldn't take kindly to someone extracting the wee big time.
Excellent organisation and if they put on a slalom course (free) then go for it.
