The offer I referred to at the beginning was to all participants to come to mine for a barbecue after the track day on the Friday evening.
I live near Newark, one mile from the A1, so en route home for those from south of the track day.
Enough room for a decent party and to camp/caravan etc. If there is a lot of interest i will ask the farm across the road for a field for overspill parking and camping.

On the noise front, I have a friend with a fairly loud Cerbera. I will arrange for him and me to go to Blyton and have both cars tested on their noise meter. That should settle it.

Be good to have you there Jasper. I still haven't forgotten the endless metres we did in one continuous power slide at Bedford.
Out of interest, how many static decibels were you at Bedford? That was one seriously loud Tuscan.

Haha yes it was good fun!

It's not that loud, just 95/96 db static iirc. It might have seemed loud with all the revs hehe

I've been to blyton a few times on the bike and I've never been sound tested there, they have a very relaxed approach to how a trackday should run. If however someone is constantly triggering a noise alert they would have to ask you to try and quieten it down. Richard is a top bloke and I'm pretty sure he'd work with you to get all the cars out on circuit, even if it meant backing of the gas here and there ;0)

Hi Matt.

All are welcome, especially newbs.

If you haven't done a TD before, some others and I will be on hand to show you the ropes.

Hi (Keith) Assuming you are who i think you are, it would be great to see the Deeping crowd at the track.....noise limits permitting!

Not got a date yet . OP only done Friday morning.
16 expresions of interest so far.
Let's see how many are interested by 09.00 Monday, at which time I will contact the circuit to sort outpossible dates.
I am thinking July..... So we will see which is the most popular date from the list he gives me and go for that one.
