Why is it a bargain? It says £200 on the MSE website.

3 days before on the 13th CC are running their own day for £170.

ahhh, i see, I missed that.

Yes, did a CC day last year and found the 'three groups' set-up quite annoying.....

It's getting closer now. Really looking forward to my first day on track in 2009. The winter seems to have lasted forever. Probably because it was a bad one.

Let's hope next Monday is a dry one.

Lovely day, quiet, sunny & a friendly bunch on track.

Shame about the new blue 7 at Quarry, really feel for the guy but at least they are all OK.

Yes, gutted for that chap in the blue 7 - only 6 months old as well by the looks of it (the car that is). It's always Quarry corrner...

Gutted to see that 7 in such a state - at least the occupants were OK.

When I was at Combe last year I saw an MGF wipe out at Tower, so I now treat Tower and Quarry with a little more caution.

We were out in the yellow 7 and had a great day, both a good standard of driving and etiquette. We stayed quite late and it felt like I had the track to myself at 4:30.

I was there in to in the red 205 - it was my first track day this year and the first time out with the car since converting it from a knackered 1.9 to a GTI6 with TBs and Emerald ECU so I was taking it easy, but a great day except for seeing the mashed 7!

Andy - your 205 certainly has some pace - my mate in the passenger seat couldn't believe it!

Thats the trouble if those corners arn't given a little respect they will bite,more likely on one of the Combe run action day's as you usually get all the young Chav's giving their cars a real thrashing and quite a few trash em too!

Yes, it's a bit of a pocket rocket - just about to take the head off and clean it up and fit bigger inlet valves and 3 angle seats - gotta find a way to catch those 7s somehow!

A great day. Good to see the guys in the blue 7 were ok as it must have just happened when we came round the corner. We were in the grey 997, blue 996 and black 968.
