Abingdon trackday 20/10/06
Ive got my indy booked into the trackday at abingdon on the 20th of oct, its a friday btw!
Anyone else fancy coming along in their indy/locost? Its organised by motorsports events (MSE) and costs £109 for the full day open pit lane. Its on
the air field with coned off parts, and a very good track considering! was great fun the last time i went, and without any big armco's to smash
into. If you do fancy it then id adise to ring them up and book it fast as they always get full quickly!
Lets hope the weather is good!

Do they do many trackdays at Abingdon? Good location for me, but need a bit more time to shake down the car on the road before I do a trackday.
If the weather turns out to be ok tomorrow I might pop down and take some pictures as I havent got anything on.
What times is it running from and till?

where abouts are you from mate? is your car on the road? if so bring it down! there is usually some places left where people pull out on the day or
blow their cars up! They are usually once a month. Its a good circuit to learn how the car goes etc as there is plenty of run off and no tyre walls
etc! ive not had mine on the road for long, and am using the day as an excuse to learn the cars and my abilities. Come on down, hopefuly if the
weather is good it'll be a good day!
ps. its starts at 9!

Waiting for the DVLA inspection on tuesday before I can get some plates. Was meant to be this tuesday but they messed up! Oxford Uni motorsport club
ran a day at Curborough on wednesday, so would have gone to that if it was on the road as it was only £40.
Need a bit more time on the road before a trackday i think, just to make sure nothing falls off at slow speed rather than high speed. Although there
is more to hit when driving on the road i guess!

Ahem weren't you guilty of blowing up today and holding everyone up for 20 minutes whilst the contents of your engine were mopped up? Only
joking fella, hard luck, get the bike engine in there now!

Can you give me some details as Abingdon is handy for me too.
Who is running it - do they have a website, phone number etc?
Is there a noise limit?
Cheers
Martin

Its run by Motorsports Events http://www.motorsport-events.com
Today was £109 noise limit is 100dB(A) at 4500 rpm for CECs which is strictly enforced.
They have an event in November at Abingdon I think it's £89. Avoid the burgers, minging!

Not surprisingly a low turnout today.
I drove to the day in the Indy, I could have taken a bath and not been any wetter, 2 other brave souls in Atoms + a few tin tops a Striker and me.
What a hoot! 3" of standing water in the afternoon on some parts of the track, morning sessions were mostly dry.
The drive home was just as entertaining, rivers across the road and huge puddles
Speedo died on the way home, probably just through being rained on all day
