instead of me asking every month come the start of the season to see if any miserable bd will go to a track day with me and seeing as some fellow scots have joined who are keen on trying knockhill ive stuck this thread up.

so if you plan to go or want to fling it in here.

heres the first date

On Saturday 31st of may we will run in ‘reverse’ direction and on Sunday 1st of june we will run normal clockwise direction. There will be 3 groups running from 9am – 5pm both days; Novice, Intermediate & Advanced.

its only £100 per day if booked before January. im in as the football season finishes the week before.

im not fussed if its the Saturday or Sunday. anyone fancy it. lot of track time for £100

your alive, im gonna book the sunday that ok with you? decent price for all day, ill just need remember and bring a big flask of tea and loads of bananas.

im gonna dig the promo code out someone sent me and see if that works.

also if your buying a trailer give me a shout, due to the unique sportiness of the fiesta ST I cant attach on to it.

so if your to buy one ill give you something towards it, providing you chauffer me to and thro when we both do track days.

what im saying is buy a two section one, or a van.

Yeah sorry man. Xmas has been mental. Only got your texts Yesterday. Normal service resumed now.

My budget for the bike accessories has been somewhat slashed this year after the Mrs confirmed we have £23,000 of wedding expenses before November this year. I'm still quietly confident I'll get something sorted for June. Leave it with me and I'll keep you posted.

I can however manage a trackday on the 1st of June. Drop me a text and I'll transfer you the cash. I'd sooner do it now so you're not out of pocket.

I'll probably be up for this but I'll be waiting until nearer the time to book as I've been burned by Knockhill's weather too many times in the past.

get it fking booked, dont bother looking at the weather it'll rain anyway.

ive been there in june with a jacket, fleece and a tammy on. It was that cold, wet and windy i had to buy a second jacket.

24 hours later i was wearing a t-shirt and getting burnt.

should add as prolapse says, give them 3 days notice and you get once change of track day.

That conjures up many images. It suggests you are a fanny

We will see. I don't do wet track days. Especially at Knockhill which is greasy as fk. I've seen too many people bounce down the road in the wet there. Strangely it usually seems to be in the braking zone into the hairpin.
