Brands Hatch December 14th, Who's Going?
Discussion
I've done two track days now, as an extra driver in a mates MX-5, this will be my first track day with my VX220. My mate's going with the MX-5 and his brother, I'll be there with my [grown up] niece as an extra driver.
I must admit, I can't wait, I'm getting insurance for peace of mind, if anything happened to the VX I'd be gutted.
I'm also giving it a service before the day.
So, who else is going?

Also, who you using for insurance, and how much is it hitting you?
I'll get my insurance through CCI (Competition car Insurance), they quoted me £88, which basically equates to 1% of car value, plus an admin fee I think.As for breakfast, the two track days I've been to so far have had a canteen providing breakfast. If not, try and find a service station on the way.

I don't actually mind if it rains, I just don't want it to snow on that day! 
Me neither, the worse the conditions the better my car. 
But yeah, the bike powered kit car thing struggles in the dry apparently, and would be suicide in the wet.
Unless of course he/she did actually build it as a switch!!

You have told the driver/builder that the throttle isn't a switch, haven't you?

To quote him: "Who wants to drive 447bhp/ton on cut slicks with no tc or abs in the wet? I'm a little scared..."Unless of course he/she did actually build it as a switch!!
I'm with him. I wouldnt risk it.

wet weather isnt a problem, its the cold im worried about. 
been so busy this year that it has only been out once in Feb so decided i HAD to get another day in.
Indeed, that's a lot of toy to have sitting around gathering dust, I get enough grief off of SWMBO if the VX doesn't get out enough!! been so busy this year that it has only been out once in Feb so decided i HAD to get another day in. AshVX220 said:
That's alright, you can change the set-up for wet if necessary can't you? I just hope it doesn't snow and get cancelled.
GTRCook, totally missed your post mate, looking forward to seeing a Skyline driven in anger (well, not anger per se, but you know what I mean!! )
