I'll certainly be up for this depending on commitments. I'm also looking at Woodbridge track days as that looks like another circuit more suitable for newbs like me.

Maybe - is there anything I can hit ?

just have this niggling thought that if I rip out the wiring, then the car will never get out of the garage again.

Castle Combe isn't too bad for beginners really. Quarry can seem daunting, but only if you drive badly

Cheers mate, I really wish that I could've gone with you lot but my car was in for mot on the same weekend.
Do you know what the noise regs are? it says 101db but it's that at idle or at 5000rpm?

That's at about 5k rpm. You'll be fine unless you have a complete nutter exhaust - IIRC JD's exhaust (Mongoose?) was about 88db.

Re: Castle Combe Open Pitlane Trackday - 28th April
I did a test with the spl meter app on my iphone, 5000rpm was about 94 db. Although that was inside a building, so it may be a bit quieter out in the open.
Its not a very loud exhaust, probably the quietest ive owned and my previous ones werent that loud. No nurspecs or japspeeds for me!
