That kinda thing is possible yeah. Worth going to look first and work out what you will need etc.

Where abouts are you in Jock world ?

Falkirk, theres only really one van hire place, problem is for an away track day its a 3 day hire even if I could drive it in a day and back

You would be better off fitting a removable tow bar and then hiring a trailer.

im pretty sure I could kick his arse, however he'd be much quicker on a bike than me.

I wouldn't fancy my chances either way.

the 29th oh july could be ok actually

how's he getting there and back? if he's going himself I could mooch a lift and even give him food tokens and ginger bottles towards his costs.

Croft is sold out on 29th. I just sold my place to a mate as I could no longer make it due to work commitments

Get a little box trailer and you can even sleep in it. That's what I do.

Can get them for less. Have a look at Lathams trailers. Think they're about £1200 brand new.

MTB, I use Condor in Edinburgh, £35 a day (all in, insurance etc included) for a transit, they all have anchor points for strapping the bike down. Nice and cheap

[moanthebairns]

thanks, if it wasn't for the 40 mile round trip id probably use them.

I'm guessing no one else wants to go down south? with another body 2 days down south works out the same as 2 days at knockhill...

That said knockhill keep sending me emails at work about trackdays, I spend 10 minutes reading them weighing them up, thinking, go on, go on....i really must resist and go down south to a proper circuit.

that said if knockhill did the £100 rates a day for session's more often id be there constantly.

gwm, davie, did anyone get who was the photographer on Saturday. I thought R&D but nothing up it wasn't power images other than that I don't know.
