Abingdon airfield - Friday 14th November

Post by Ben »

Anyone fancy this? Pete and I look like we're going - I want to get a track day under the Westfield's wheels before I pull it off the road for winter to sort the suspension and dash (it's fine for track, but not great for road!), and Abingdon is only down the road from me if I break it :lol:

Currently £129 here:

Abingdon has loads of run off, course is a cone marked, so if it all goes wrong, you might squash a cone at worst.

apart from the last corner where an mx5 and a 944 porka individually decided to drive up the bank on the outside during a very wet afternoon a couple of weeks back. #-o

but generally the circuit is very safe :thumleft:

100db static, no drive-by but if you're excessively loud they retain the right to remove you.
