Hullavington airfield to be sold for building
Who's up for a last hoorar! on the 11th March? I've booked two slots![cool](/inc/images/cool.gif)
Extract from Motor Sport Events email:
After 15 years of track days at the wonderful Hullavington Airfield we are having to say goodbye, but not before one final weekend of track days. Hullavington will be a huge loss to us and has hosted many amazing events for thousands of guests but now the MOD have sold the site for development. We are ending our time there with a double header on Friday 11th March and Saturday 12th March. We are sure these events will sell out in record time so please do book as soon as you have checked your diary!

sad news indeed but not unexpected. This track inspired me into proper track driving and this venue was my first taste of track driving. Hamish you might remember all of us trying to deliberately spin our cars on a TVR only handling day run by MSE. If I remember correctly you were the best at it on the day but our friend "Phazed" on here still practicing that element 10 years later LOL ![biggrin](/inc/images/biggrin.gif)

Hullavington was the scene of my very first trackday as well, and the first time i met Guillotine..after that it was just the slippery slope of the addict lol

I had always avoided wet track days as every accident i've ever had has been in the wet ![frown](/inc/images/frown.gif)

Yep looks like he still doing it and still blaming his tyres, rather than over correcting the oversteer Even on R1Rs in the dry.......

I have been on many a track day with our mutual friend and had always thought him a neat, tidy driver, never even looked like spinning. Whereas yours truly could be counted on to do at least two per track day.

To be fair to me, I was following you to record your progress, tyres were not as grippy as I thought they were, (that certainly wouldn't happen with Triple 8s) excuses, excuses
![wink](/inc/images/wink.gif)
To be fair to you, you must be the most improved driver in the last 18 months, that video, (although a while old now) doesn't do the speed/event justice!
Now booked!
Anyone else?
