Dont think so
So what have you got against Griff's......???
Trouble with weekends is family committments....which will probably balance out attendance ???
Having said that, 5 year old son would love to come along and see Daddy's friends with nice cars....
So, suggestions......????
Sunday the 29th sounds OK to me. Llandow is a good venue for the cars, but are there any "refreshments" up there ? And is there any cover for the "wimpy wives"?
The only problem with Griffs is that I've got one !! and it's spent the best part of the last 12 months in and out of Roath Garage being fixed. When i say "in and out" , what i actually mean is "in" , and it still is !!!!

from what i remember there is a cafe type thing there to provide cover if its wet, and food if you fancy it.
theres also a few pubs dotted around locally.
theres a fair bit of parking there, but im understood there is some sort of local event which llandow have allowed locals to use the parking for :s
sure we will find out on the day. you're all welcome to come along and watch the track too.
EDIT: 6 Spaces up for grabs if anyone wants to take part. See here www.wpce.org/forum/index.php?showtopic=780&st=0

Is it an open track , pay as you go track
or reserved for a particular club
? .................
Whatever ! I'll be there.
its a full day on track for £75 in advance or £85 if you pay on the day.
the format is open pitlane - eg you queue up and go on and off as you wish.
limited places to keep the numbers on track down (eg less busy)
anyones welcome, tho obviously id like advance warning if you want a place.
basically if anyone wants a place can you please email me on corrado.vr6@ntlworld.com

I was at the track day but not on the track - still Atomless!!
I noticed a Caterham with a chrome bonnet flying around the track at some rate - did a few spins too!
Does anyone know the spec of this car?
John
Hi John
So there's another Atom in the area then.....??? When I saw the pics I assumed it must be yours!
Re. The Caterham, that is the Wonkycustard car. Awesome bit of kit/project. Dave (Wonkey) may be along soon, but on his behalf this is the spec. that he posted elsewhere:
Its one of the 3 most powerfull K series in the UK @ 245bhp , being all steel internals it revs quite happily to over 8700 rpm but max power is made at just 7980 rpm on this cam profile - which is ideal for hillclimbing and sprinting.
It will easily go from standing start at the roundabout at Kwick Save in Risca to 8000rpm in 6th gear before the end of the layby by Morrisons - that would be about 143 mph heheheheheehe - if I were to ever attempt it of course ........
full spec =
All new parts –
New machined and modified block – modified oil ways and improved seal location.
1900 cc inserted liner conversion, honed to Hellier specification.
Modified “turbo”oil pump

There is now! Collected my Atom from Somerset yesterday afternoon and had a brill drive back to Bridgend. I think with the exception of snow, I experienced all the weather. Now I have to get used to it and of course it's raining today!
Anyway, you're right about the Atom at Llandow it was from Cheltenham, Chris the owner is building up speed and gaining experience.
The Caterham was certainly one to be noticed. I'm guessing the driver is track experienced too.
