I am but having a bit of a problem with insurance for the day (as its a timed run it is classed as a 'race')....

Anyone used a single track day insurer?

Edited by MrVert on Thursday 31st March 17:35

I reckon if I could race around the PEC tracks without crashing I can manage a straight line BUT it's the other chap who might overdo his start and broadside you, so why not hang back, watch the green light for a second or so, then set off behind the other car? Timing doesn't start until you break the beam.

Yes, I know, it's difficult NOT to race... AND it looks like you messed up the start! Decisions...

I'm still in two minds whether to "risk" it, uninsured.

Still... at least you're not on a bike: https://youtu.be/Qgh_nEbZi8s

In case anyone is worried about weather, or wants to see how the strip works before they commit, I asked Ollie Moore (he who emails us all) about drag strip run tickets on the day and he just confirmed:

Hi David,

Tickets will be available on the day for those who want to join in,

Kind regards

Oliver

I'll be joining you at LFE. Will be in a 370z.

See you tomorrow !

[RossP]

22 cars! Quite a convoy! See you all tomorrow.

[MrVert]

Are these times still correct?

7.15 - 7.20 - Mickleover Court Hotel
7.45 - 7.55 Donington Services
8.15-8.30 LFE
9.30 Santa Pod

Looks like the weather will be good, the run down should be an event all of its own!

Cheers.

[RossP]

Yes, those are the times we are working to.
