For those with no idea of British geography, where is Bruntingthorpe?

[jitsukadave]

Northampton-way(ish) slightly right of the middle of the country.

Anybody else thinking of going? Never been on a day with these guys. The form states its on the 25th and there'll be an Exige to play in too.

How well do you have to be able to drive to go along? I considered myself to be ok, but nothing special, especially next to the other people that I expect will be there.

Edit -
Also... Will I need a helmet and safety clothes of my own, or should I not worry about that?

Crikey... give us plenty of notice why don't you. I'd love to do it, but i need more than two weeks to get nearly £300 together.

I'm considering it, I'll have to look up where it is and how to get there though. Haven't driven in ages, need to quench my need for speed

No previous experience required, helmets and instructions will be provided.

Half the places are now taken, five places left.

[Mr E]

That is cracking value I think, but it's the weekend my girl moves in. Dammit. And it's the day before my birthday too......

About 2 weeks later, and I'd be up for it. Hell, we'd both be up for it....

[sdd]

If there is sufficient demand we will run another of these days either mid week or a weekend in October.

We can run another of these on the 22nd or 23rd October and the 19th or 20th November if there is enough interest.

Would those who would like to attend please register their interest via e-mail to track-club;
