Quick summary of events.

Trackskills Kirkistown track day
www.trackskills.com
Trackskills do a decent track day, I think it costs in the region of £85 for the day. Bike engines not out before midday if I remember right (noise regs). These are usually fully booked so try to get it sorted well in advance. They take novices out for instructional laps, well organised, nice people.

Thoroughbred Sports Car Club of Northern Ireland
www.tsccni.co.uk
TSCC Organise events like sprints (I'm in class 9, should be attending most events, touch wood), Hillclimbs (I'm hoping to do Croft this year maybe more), and autotests (don't *think* there are many sevens doing this, but I'm not sure). Their trackdays follow a similar format to a sprint, out in batches of 3 or 4 for 2-3 laps then in. Not as much track time, but they are a fair bit cheaper (~£40 I think). These trackdays are normally on a first come, first served basis, so get there early!

AINCC
www.anicc.org.uk
ANICC are an umbrella organisation that cover most motorsports in NI. Their 500MRCI race meetings have a kit car class very similar to the RGB series in England. Lots of blade engined 7s in class C there. Good racing too, well worth a watch.

The majority of sprints are normally held at Kirkistown, or Aghadowey.

I have cobbled these together as best I can, but they are not official and I am only human, so don't blame me if you miss that championship decider because of my poor typing!!

Also got notice from Colin Logan about some TVR Car Club trackdays at Kirkistown. Normally these are invitation only to drive, but you can come and spectate for free.

Dates are:-

Monday 5th May
Saturday 21st June
Mon 25th August
Sunday 5th October

If you want to take part in one of these drop me a line and I'll give you Colin's e-mail addy.
These cost 80 quid and are limited to 35 cars so they are decent value.
