If it's still running on Sunday I might pootle down in my Midget on Sunday, been a few months since last time

It is a nice track to watch, always friendly folks there too

Midget may be dead by then though, dying type-9-itis...

Never been to Curborough but would like to.

When you spectate are you close to your own car..... Would be taking my little boy and tend to need to get access to stuff from the car on a regular basis without carrying loads around.

You can sit right in front of your car and still see all the track.

Great thanks, might come along Sunday then.

Just looked at the website and there is nothing about timings for the 28th... What time do things normally start? start?

Typically I turn up around 11.30 to midday - they usually have pacticing in the morning with the "runs" after lunch. For big events like the VSCC you need to be earlier...

i was there at a test day today. The circuit can be hired by the day, or you can get a place at a test session run by another club. Usually lots of mid week pre-season test days this time of year, theres a few listed on uphillracers that have spare places

I can pick you up if you want? It doesn't matter if you can't stay too long.

Thanks Warren, I've gone downhill a bit today, so I'll see how I am tomorrow, and let you know.

Is Curborough "safe" now or are the developers still lurking?

Not been for a while but it is so friendly and you can see the whole circuit wherever you stand - top venue
