Tim,

that looks the nuts good sound track as well. I'm going to give these people a shout. Like someone said though is there track etiquette or is someone in a wicked PUG going to try and push me out? I'm not ready to write my car off yet........

Hi, I'm going to my first rtack day at Brands Hatch next Wednesday evening. www.motorsportvision.co.uk/trackdays/trackdays.asp?circuit=all&type=Car It's only a short session, i've booked and instructor, and it's for beginners only. Why not come along?

I think my first track day experience should be in broad day light with no clouds and a dry circuit.

Im looking at doing a half day on the 12/4 any other takers? I dont mind morning or afternoon?

Ok i now know there is an AMOC track day at mallory park later this month or Francis has very nicely invited me to Bedford and ed invited me to crash my car in the dark but i think he's done quite a few so im not sure if i should start with a novice morning or afternoon at brands.

This is how it looks so far.

Airfields = less to hit but stone chip city
Tracks = not chip city but alot more to hit
AMOC day = they probably wont like the look of me and accuse me of stealing the car

its tough but i have to start somewhere.............

Ok im getting very close to going bedford this saturday, they say theres about 80 cars on the track that day. That sounds like alot of potential clashes.

Depending on arrangements there are unlikely to be more than thirty cars on track at once. That's loads of space. You'll actually get lonely...

I am very lonely, how did you know?

Francis, you got mail.
