I've always found their days well run. The European days especially, I'd say they were better than NoLimits from my experiences. Although I think their customer service outside of the track day could do with some improvement.

I dunno it'll be my first time. I've heard the stories. I'll see for myself. It's a bit fickle to make judgement on something like this when I haven't experienced it but I have a feeling "I told you so will" pop up.

yeah if it goes wrong it will happen to me.

called them to make sure, its 98db on circuit drive by.

Oulton Park – 102db (ACU static test) and 89db drive by, my bike passes that all the time without a baffle.

just encase anyone else fancies it.

I'm getting my "I told you so" in now before the event, that's how confident I am. I shall retract it when hell freezes over

is there more dates to come for the first half of the year whilst they finalise racing and such. It looks a bit well st on no limits this year and other sites. Hardly any double dates and very few.

That sounds really good for the money, is it some sort of deal for the 2? I was looking at Cadwell on the 30th March but 2 days at Doningtin also appeals as I've never been before.

Also anyone else doing any days in Feb?

Could you pm me where you stayed when you went to donington mtb?

Thinking of booking Snetterton on April 4 and 5.

You can't get the 10% off from tdr anymore either for NL, prices have gone up too.

So what have people got planned for this year?

I've posted and said I've got my first day of the year booked already at Oulton on the 24th Feb. There's a few cheap days in Feb, anyone else starting early?

I'm thinking of doing another open pit lane day at Cadwell on the 30th March too.
Trust you to pick a week day frown

Yeah I work weekends. Works well for track days, not so good for getting out on the bikes with your mates.

Rumour has it that there's no Sheel Oils for trackdays in February at Oulton. Nobody can come back claiming a 1:45 if that's the case.

Yeah that's right, got an email today saying that they will be running the island circuit. Not really sure whether that's good or bad at the moment. I do enjoy that section of the track so not overly pleased but it's no disaster.

They've offered a credit if people don't want to do that layout. I think I'll go anyway, it removes some of that thought of pushing to go quicker than previous times if I've not done that layout before. I can just relax and use the day to get back into it.

Just go and blow the cobwebs away. Dave will still be there and I will be for most of the day.
