If the worst comes to the best and he can get there, but it is fully booked, he can have the afternoon half of my booking and borrow my triple eights and spare set of brown trousers. hehe

The alternative is to turn up anyway and blag the rest of the booking of the first person whose car dies.....there's usually at least one poor sod who would be glad to have some cash back.

Finally, with a 101 decibel noise limit, there are bound to be some noise test failures.

Guys, make sure you bring your cans if you have been decatted and have bought cans. I remember you bought some, Matt, and didn't need them at Snetterton. You coud well need them at Bedford. I will be very close to that limit. Has everyone else got cans, or know they are well under 101 dB?

Cheers for the heads up Anthony I shall bring my cans. I was right on the 103dB limit last time.... I have no idea how is it is much louder than 103dB but who I am to argue. I will give it a cheeky go without and if not then chuck the cans on.

I have just had my booking confirmation through. The discount was applied to the instruction and helmet hire I booked as well. Happy days.

Still hoping to be there, but still on axle stands, have tracked down fuel leak, fitted new brake pipe bulkhead connector. Now got a power drain from battery some where - I'll get there eventually !

What was the fuel leak Richard? Good luck with the leckie, nothing to do with the soldering on the AFM wire extension or stepper wire is it?

Just a Quick heads up I phoned MSV this morning to book on for Tuesday and they said just turn up on the day they had 30 places left so if anyone else fancies a cheap track day then just come along they assured me it would not be a problem but be warned it is addictive. biggrin

Just getting ready for tomorrow, put some new fronts on this morning and gave the car a once over. I'm quite excited, first time out this year.
The weather suggests it might not be necessary to stuff my car with a set of wets.
Did anybody else book this or is it just the 6 of us?

Just been running diagnostic checks on mine, (sat on a stool and looked at it smile)

Very much looking forward to it.

If it behaves itself tomorrow I think I'll treat it to a white stripe yes

Also, this sill be a good test of the new 46mm Nitrons.

Oops, didn't see your post, so that's 7. I don't know where in Essex you are but we're leaving Billericay about 6 ish, if you fancy joining up en route somewhere.

I'm looking forward to seeing your car Peter, (and you obviously) I only got a glimpse of it that wet day at the Pod. I'll defo be getting out of the way if I see you in my mirrors on that long, long straight.

Going to give mine a wash and buff up now.

I'm near Stansted happy to meet on route but never been to Bedford before so it might be easier to meet there, I haven't got the best sense of direction even with a sat nav
