Well they kept that quiet!

I shall be booking in due course.

Not done Donnington yet so a trackday tick for me.

Two weeks before S Club Euro Thrash so I will likely travel the day before and then back the same day.

ETA - corrected linky to go to event page.

As I understand it the TVRCC office had been 'down' due to illnesses so only essential service was in place.

Back up to strength I assume now as I had a voicemail saying the day(s) were now in the online shop. Thank you for posting Mr Painter.

Don't be put off by Qbee being the face of the Cadwell day. Its a large venue, you can go the whole day without seeing him

Fully booked and a reserve list started so if you're interested and not booked on contact the TVRCC office.

There's an evening event the night before so no overnight camping!

I need to book a hotel for the night before and pay the balance. Other than that, just need to attend to whatever goes wrong with the car between now and then

[mk1fan]

Decided to treat myself to a night in the Radison Blu or Lenonardo Hotel next to the airport. Drive up early on Thursday and enjoy the pool, sauna etc ..

[mk1fan]

Balance paid to TVRCC.

Just need to book the hotel. Thinking two nights this time as the track driving seems to be more of a workout these days plus the family will still be in the Lebanon!

[mk1fan]

A woman!

Turns up with Suzie Wolf.

Oh!

[mk1fan]

I wouldn't have liked to have landed at Cadwell

[mk1fan]

Will get my work finished and swap over to the Rainsports before heading off.

[mk1fan]

I have a garage. If they are Snetts or Brands sized then we can squeeze in three.

If they are Mallory sized then one and a quarter

Took the thick end of three and a half hours to get up from London. In the hotel though.

Rainsports on.

Work not done. So no swim. Early dinner. Then finish off work with the Godfather part II on in the back ground.

[mk1fan]

Very gloomy start. Couldn't see the planes landing at EMA that were very low!

Cleared up after lunch and finished off in sunshine.

All in all I had a great day. Good friends and conversations. Gave one brave / foolish person some passenger laps. Fairly certain they learnt nothing

Financial pressures may mean no more trackday jollies this year but I remain hopeful of a cheeky Mallory Park.

TVRCC intimated three trackdays next year so pennies being saved.

Phazed, things to remember in no particular order;

Air bags for the rear of the motor home.

mk1 Audi S3 front lower strut brace plus fixings.

Thermostat.
