Places are available but there is a limit

Dave Muttock organises the Sporting Bears' Curborough track days but this time this track day isn't for the Bears, the funds raised will go to the Animal Health Trust as a thank you from Dave for them helping with his and friends’ pets

Curborough is a sprint track and is ideal for novice or expert with only one car on the track at a time so you can go at your own pace

I'm there as a steward only so the track is even safer smile

details below - and photos here just as an idea of what it's about – photos 2011 - and photos 2008

let Dave know if you're interested, mention my name (for price increasesmile )
- Dave’s email address
- or come back to me

cheers, Nigel

That looks like a tempting day out, not sure I can make it though.

I don't know, I'll ask and report back here

fully road legal cars are preferred on this relaxed day so as not to put off novices but by prior arrangement with Dave trailed track cars could be accommodated, we've had a Jedi before and another time another track car I don’t know the name of

we're going on 110 but if you think your car is probably is too loud then it probably is

however if your Cerbie is on a stanard exhaust without bits removed it'll be OK

I've been there before so know my way round, mostly, just need to find a way of not leaving the tarmac traveling backwards.

In terms of someone who asked about noise restrictions I did a track day today at Curborough and the noise level was set at 105db at about 2/3rd throttle although think they would show a bit of leeway as they seemed a pretty relaxed bunch.

Contacted, thanks smile

Re the next few weeks, no idea. I'm planning to attend something most weekends for the next month or two though, mostly car-related. My usual trip to Marham has been sacrificed to come to Curborough, although Marham being on the BMW National weekend didn't help it either, plus it's a fair old way in comparison. Also, 4 weeks notice is probably not quite enough for many people with diaries likely already planned up beyond that.

or most people are fed up of spending money on wet track days when money is tight.
