Bruntingthorpe III V Maxers pls read
Discussion
Craig,
E-mailed you, and then found this thread. I'd like to pop along as a spectator - any issues with doing this?
I *would* cough up the 150 notes and have a blat, but
a) I haven't got 150 notes to fritter away right now (see notes b, c, d.)
b) The BMW needs chipping to remove the 155 limiter
c) The back tyres aren't rated to go that quickly (thanks, Mr Previous Owner, nob)
d) The brakes are just about shagged
But apart from that...

**************** Some Details ******************
Times:
Will probably aim to kick off about 9.30 with a short safety briefing, signing of disclaimers and a drive around. Will be winding up around 4-5ish depending on how we are going.
Directions: It is bruntingthorpe proving ground in Leicestershire (off M1) see map here:

Safety:
This is a private booking so helmets are optional, you will be asked to sign a disclaimer BEFORE driving. Please be sensible, we dont want any accidents. Whilst we are there to have a LOT of fun and some VERY high speeds please be aware of others, and your own, and your vehicles limits. If the track is wet take your first few runs very cautiously until used to braking distances etc. Ask Tony 996 if you need verification of this
Spectators:
Very welcome, no charge, you may be asked to do a spot of marshalling (nothing too taxing). Please be very cautious when on the track (ie waiting areas) as cars may be coming up very quickly behind you. Non driving cars (ie non paying), please observe a 30mph speed limit and keep to the left.
Checks:
Check your cars over fully the day before, fluid levels, tyre pressures & condition. Make sure the car is clean as this makes it go a lot faster, its true its true!
Paying:
Will know final cost in the next day or so, is looking like it might dip just under £150 per car. Those who have paid full amount will be reimbursed. Anyone who hasnt paid in full/deposit please bring cash on the day.
One more thing, it can get very very cold there so wrap up warm.
Any more questions ladies & gents ?

******* spectators **************
Those spectators not there by 9.30 wait by the burger van in the carpark, you will still have a good view of the cars finishing the runs & coming by you. Every 20 mins or so we will check the carpark & bring any latecomers to a safe place.
This is for everyone's safety so please adhere to.
