Any interest in an S Club track day?
Discussion
Just gauging interest for the possibility of an S Club track day next year - I know it's a long way off but it's just to get a realistic feel for whether the idea has legs or not.
After my track day at Blyton Park Driving Centre last Friday, which is nr Gainsborough (Notts / Lincs boarder) one or two have suggested I look in to arranging similar for the S fraternity.
This link to my post should give an idea of the format and the fun to be had:

So, no commitment at this point in time but would anybody (else) be seriously interested in attending something similar, 1/2 day or full depending on numbers & format?

Never done it - would like to try in a "S" ivilised environment hopefully. Other consideration for me is distance and can I reduce my noise levels far enough to meet track regs. Did a sound meter at a TVR event and recording 120db - not sure how easy it would be to bring it back to 95!

I've never done a track day either but I was scared to admit it in case there's some strange initiation ceremony!
This was my first ever and I'm doing the TVRCC one at Cadwell in Sept along with TopGearTVR.The beauty of this is the "safe" nature of the venue and format, which I think is a great introduction to track days / circuit driving.

Anyone know how sound level is measured, what revs, distance from tailpipes etc?
I didn't notice sound being specifically measured, but I understood it was a drive by measurement on the circuit at 20 metres which I imagine was being monitored in the control hut. No one was black flagged so I assume we all passed. The red tuscan 2S was I think the loudest on the day and he drowned my noise out. Think the level was/s 105db which is quite loud I understand.
Having driven behind you Mike on many occasions I think you'd be fine.

I would be another wanting to pop my track day cherry so to speak, but would be nice to do it with like minded folk. So subject to timing and cost, I'm in.

I reckon that's enough to suggest the idea has got legs.
As I said earlier, I can't squeeze another in this year but will put this on the back burner to sort something next year ;-)
Chaps - Am I assuming i'm to be excluded then? I'm not sure where in the country you are planning this for hence my reservations, plus I didn't say I wouldn't muffle the beast - just that I wasn't sure on whether any silencers, would silence it enough and going through that trial and error bit to test it
It's only to gauge interest not a definitive attendance sheet. And certainly no one is excluded.

It means I'll look to formally to set something up for next yr then and post a thread with full details nearer the time.
