ive not tracked the scooby yet...and ive got the itch.

plus i need new pads on the gt3.

you dont know if there are any other trackclubs there

that day do you??

Im hoping itll just be the 85 cars booked through easytrack.

Peter hi.

Not sure with respect to sharing the track with another group. First UK car trackday for about 3 years. Tend to only do Bike t/days now and about 5-6 ring trips annually in the car.

Historically, the attitude & driving standards at UK days have been too iffy to take anything even semi decent out on track IMHO - hence the £3k pug & sale of my RS porker! I can smell another caterham going along soon though...

G. >> Edited by Glenn McMenamin on Tuesday 1st November 17:17 Cars going well, I'm doing Silverstone this thurs, that'll prob be my last for the year i reckon. My Bedford days are numbered due to the noise etc, must admit, i got very bored with it this year anyway. I may make a return when the 997 comes, as long as i can keep a standard exhaust system on it for long enough !! Have fun mate. G. Glenn, i certainly am!!!

yes please ..shall i email you??

[HankScorpio]

Yep, through my profile is fine.

[else]

I'm going but i'm a bit worried about the noise restrictions. Anybody know whether a std TVR Chimaera will be within the limit?

[zumbruk]

My standard 450 produces about 97dB. The limit at Bedford's over 100, isn't it?

I don't wish to be all doom and gloom, but they have been known to reduce that limit in adverse weather conditions if they get complaints.

Nothing they can do about it, blame the Council.

Well, I failed the initial static test, 104db, but i was told as long as i didn't fail the drive bys i would be ok. Guess what, didn't have a problem all day, great venue, great organisation, couldn't fault it, a brilliant day

What impressed me most was the behaviour of my fellow trackdayers, everybody showed very good manners, i am definately going to do Bedford many more times.

[RedYellowGreen]

Yep was a great day loads of fun and no rain

Loved seeing all those 911s can still hear the flat 6 sound now .

I was driving that MX5 for a while at the end and i think you were behind me for a bit.
You were going really well
(i was in the black scooby otherwise)

Good day, mate was driving my car and had a fantastic run with the 996TT in the last session, nothing in it really, really good fun seeing 2 cars neck and neck for loads of laps.
