I couldn't do Angersea as there aren't any dates until really late in the year, so i've opted for good old Elvington.
Price= £99 per car. 2nd drivers are free as are passengers and spectators.

20-81-00
/ 90179035Put your
'username' down as a reference.The day will be open pit lane.
So you can come and go on track as much as you like. With 36 cars with a 15 car limit on track ought to give everyone plenty of tracktime. Driving starts at 10am and run through till 5pm.
There will be an hour for lunch.You need to arrive for sign-on by 9am.
Get there a bit earlier than that would be my recommendation as you can sort out your car and not be hassled by trying to make sign-on before the drivers briefing.Briefing starts at 9.30am sharp
(if you are late you will have to wait till 10.30am for the second briefing).As we are running open pit, there will be sighting laps for the first 20mins or so, then open pit till the end of the day.
Elvington is an airfield near York.
Probably best known on the list for the place where TOTB is held. What we do is mark out a track using cones on the airfield. Mark and I actually lay the course out so we can make it MR2 friendly! The big advantage of this is that there's nothing to hit save the odd cone, so its a really good place to lose your track virginity and explore both your own and your car's limits in a safe environment. If you've got a bit of experience its a great place to play with your cars handling and really push it hard. To ensure we keep the day MR2 only, please get your provisional bookings in ASAP.
This costs nothing and is dead easy to do. Then to firm things up more either pay the full amount or pay 50% which will effectively guarrantee your booking. How to get there:
Directions
RAF Elvington is situated 7 miles south east of York City and 2 miles north west of Elvington Village.
The site lies adjacent to the B1228 Elvington Lane which leads to the A64 York Bypass.From the B1228 look for Halifax Way and Whitby Road which lead to the entrance gate to the airfield
(on the right of the entrance to the Air Museum).Instruction
will be available and you can book this online or on the day.
Helmets
Same for helmets.
You can hire a helmet for £10 or bring your own. If you use your own its up to you to make sure its in good condition and fits you well. Its your head etc.Tyres
Elvington is concrete and so is quite abrasive.
We have a tyre fitting service that you can use. If you are going to trash your existing tyres we can fit new tyres onto your car at the end of the day. You must though book for new tyres in the correct sizes before the trackday. You can buy tyres from the bookatrack website. You can bring your own tyres and we will fit them at IIRC £5 per wheel.Bearding:
Mechanical help will be available from Bookabeard et al at the Battruck.
Though obviously you will be well supported from beardy club members, so no probs there! Food:
There is a burger type van there where you can get hot/cold drinks, burgers
(surprisingly). The food is okay and prices are average.Hot laps:
Jonny will do hot laps in the BaT Caterhams, which basically involves going round the whole of elvington sideways for 3 laps.
Cost is £10. Its a ride you won't forget i promise!I will do some hot laps in my MK1 for nowt of course, though they won't be staggeringly quick they'll be fun for sure.
If you have any questions please post to this topic so that others can see as that way it'll save me answering the same questions 100times.
Get booked!
