idea to see what the interest was if any.

Definitely up for it as log is it's not tooo far down sarf!!
Anywhere between Teeside and Silverstone would do for me.
An Overnighter would be good to meet up and havea few beers.
Summer's here!!!!

I'd buy into that, would you be splitting it up into experiance groups as i'd hate to upset someone by messing up their racing lines in my
blundering around the track.

How about anywhere between Silvertstone & Brands!
I'm up for it.
I no longer run Furore Products or Furore Cars Ltd, but would still highly recommend them for Acewell dashes, projector headlights, dominator
headlights, indicators, mirrors etc, best prices in the UK! Take a look at http://www.furoreproducts.co.uk/ or find more parts on Ebay, user names
furoreltd & furoreproducts, discounts available for LCB users.
Don't forget Stainless Steel Braided brake hoses, made to your exact requirements in any of around 16 colours.

id love to join in that at cadwell, a good track thats really worth spending some time learning. And i wouldnt dream of making people split into
groups, thats just not cricket! Open pit lane is my preference, you always find a few clear laps in any outing.
Gimme a few months to build the car though

If I dare go near a track, I'd be up for it. Somewhere in the Midlands for me. Or I might have to bring the 205 out to play. If I'm
allowed.

Joel, I'm the poor driver, I'm still saving to get some tution from some like Candence.
I know that I've poor car control and normally panic when the car gets out of control, hence the lessons and a few trackdays to get a feel for
things. Still a day with your peers sounds like a great way to allay these fears.

Sounds a great idea. The Subaru forum once hired out Curborough Sprint circuit. They let you camp the night before and IIRC it was about £40 each

Curborough circuit hire is quite cheap. It's even cheaper is the hirer is a member (£30 - £40 IIRC) but it is 1 car at a time on track and
doesn't really count as a "circuit"
I'd be interested if it was cheap and within, say, 100 miles of Birmingham.

Maybe worth having a chat with steve hole at totalkitcar,they have cancelled Oulton Park so i'm thinking if they are suffering from lack of
numbers this could be a good opportinity for anything totalkitcar have planned for the future to bolster the numbers.

I'd try to get there even if the car wasn't ready. Perhaps a bit of a trek for everyone, but I'll throw an idea in the hat -
Pembrey. Camping (in field) no issue, BBQ fine I'm sure. I also know someone on the comittee.

I went into the RSPCA office the other day. It was so small you could hardly swing a cat in there.

Anywhere between Silverstone and the midlands (e.g. Donnington) is a possibility...

we should get a map which people can tag their location on, and work out where from this. There did use to be a locostbuilders map, but people filled
it with shite.

Great circuit, and fairly central, but they are a bit strict on noise levels, It would be a shame for someone who'd travelled a long way to get
booted off. Think last time i went it was 98db, i got black flagged twice and then chucked off for good 105Db so they said, £100 for about 8 laps
 although some trackdays there seem to allow higher Db ? weird really the noise of the planes drowns everything out anyway.
I'll go with the general concensus, It's not so bad travelling a long way if its a 2 day affair, on site camping would be a bonus

Donnington would be a good place to hold such an event, there's plenty of run off for the 1st timers and due to the speeds involved
there's less of a difference between cec's and bec's.
plus the facilities are pretty good too.
either way so long as it's not tooooooo far away i'd be very tempted

Hi donnington may be a problem with some off the bec guys due to the 98 db noise limit althogh it is a good venue.
If we can only get numbers in the region of 10-15 people confirmed it would not be to hard to just agree on a date and place of an existing trackday
and all book up may even be a chance of getting a small discount if we can confirm 10 or more places.
Keep it going and see what sort off numbers it is likly to be.

Bah beat by 3 min regarding donnington noise limit.
What are peoples thoughts on cadwell as there are ussually quite a few trackdays there and also a good venue except for the £5 over night stay
charge.
Although the track it's self is loved by regulars it might be a bit of a harsh intro for a first timer.
