Also need a helmet sorting out. go to your loca, bike shop for a helmet, i think mine was £40 ish. would i get on a bike with it, no. but more than ok for wearing when driving a road car. Just want an open face one, hate the enclosed thing when driving in a car!

So does anyone know for sure whether mod personnel need to do that form? Or should I just call them and ask? And if I come along to watch do I need to buy a ticket? And, does anyone have a spare helmet...?

And, does anyone have a spare helmet...? It was mentioned on VXRonline, any person regardless if in the forces or not MUST do the form. Unfortunately I cant remember which thread it was in otherwise would post a link!

Just tried to book this up, but it appears to be sold out!?
Is it still worth coming up for a look-see, or will I be having a major tantrum that I can't waste it up the runway???

I'm heading up from Waterlooville, you are welcome to join me. Thanks for the invite, I may very well take you up on it. Are you going there and back in one day? I've emailed Thunder Road in case they get anyone pulling out so I'll just have to wait and see...

Wahoo!!! Just bagged myself a reserve space... Thank you Thunder Road people. Ok, so I've never been to an event like this before... What do I need to expect from this day? Guess I need to sort a helmet out and do I need to 'do' anything to my car to prep it or any special insurance required? Can you tell I'm very excited!? Hahaha

Hahaha You can hire or borrow helmets on the day, although it's the best long term policy to go out and buy your own (£30 upwards). You don't really need to do anything unusual to your car to prepare it. Check all of your fluid levels and tyre pressures etc. And you'll need long sleeves and full length trouseres (not shorts) to run at the event. Other than that just enjoy the day  Sounds like we may have a convoy

Hahaha Well done, you will really enjoy the day! As said double check all the fluid levels including oil and brake fluid, puts a lot of stress on the car. Also double double check the tyres, got a shock on mine, one of the fronts has a massive chunk missing out of the inner edge, no good for trying to stop from 150+! Will need a helmet also as mentioned and make sure you do the MOD form on the website to get on the base otherwise they wont let you in!
