How comes you lot above are not on the "Attendee Confirmed " list ? Are you all defo booked ,cos I want to come out to play with you but I don't want to be there on my own.

Colin has a point. There are 53 confirmed bookings already on the list on Javelin's website, so we need to extract a digit if we are going to book this

Think this would be ok for a first track day?
I might book on, i've been wanting to do one for ages.
It's about 2 hours from me so not silly far I suppose

I did my first T/D here .Pi**ing down all day but still great fun.

Javelin can be slow in updating the attendees list.

[MPoxon]

Phazed is in Surrey, Seeby and Poxon are Essex boys, Mk1fan is Sarf London, I'm east Notts, Rosey is near Brm and AceofHearts is Beds. Don't know the rest.

You will be M1, A14, A6 I guess (and turn off left at Sharnbrook, not far after the Shell station). I am A1, A605, A45, A6 and ditto.
Brett is to the west of Nottingham I believe.

[brett84]

Thanks, I'm from Notts yeah.
Hopefully can get the engine mapped in time

Keep off the grass folks I was there on Monday in the rain, myself and the Tuscan that was there managed some very entertaining car ballet, they have improved a couple of bends around the track and re turfed we had to sign a agreement to replace the turf if we went off there, good news if your car is a bit loud mine was 97db on my previous visit this time 92db

I went off 3 times last time I went to Bedford... could be an expensive day!

Are we allowed to leave tyre marks on the tarmac if we lock up ? or do we have to jetwash them off .

MSV are being more assertive about minimizing avoidable 'off track' damage. In fairness, I get their point. They are trying to establish, project and maintain a quality product and that's hard to do if the assets look like badly ploughed allotments.

Point taken . I was being a bit sarcastic in my post ,but surely if you come off the track it is mostly accidental,and that should be down to general wear and tear of the site. Obviously if you came off and then decided to carry on going sliding here and there,irresponsibly damaging the grassed area ,there is cause for a charge.

[brett84]

I thought a few tracks were charging for damage now?
Nurburgring can cost you thousands with the amount they charge for armco repairs
