Built4Track @ Spring Performance Action Day, Castle Combe, 9th April 2011

Post by Norledge »

Ok, ok so i'm posting this really early, but the dates at Combe have moved around a little this year...

Spring Performance Car Action Day. - Saturday, April 9th 2010

If it is road legal, has four wheels and an engine (or sometimes two) then chances are it will be eligible to display and take on the track.

Open for any type of performance car from hatchback to sports car the Performance Day brings together car clubs and enthusiasts from the complete spectrum of performance car manufacturers.

As with all Action Days you can get your car on the circuit by booking a session at a time to suit yourself. Why not encourage friends to come with you to compare performance of your cars.

ACTION DAYS GENERAL INFORMATION:

It’s a slightly earlier start than usual due to Easter being so late, so performance car drivers can look forward to a blast of adrenalin a week or so earlier than usual. The most popular of the four days and usually close to selling out prior to the event, the Performance Day does what it says in title. Well over 100 clubs attended in 2010 and we will look forward to seeing them and others return this year. Increasingly clubs are booking exclusive sessions as not only are they great value for money, but you know who you are sharing the circuit with and can advise your club members of the time well in advance to make for a more relaxed format.

The Drifters will be back to entertain the large crowds with a lunch time display of performance and amazing car control. Plus we have a few new ideas which will be announced in due course to make the event and your visit even more enjoyable.


Where else offers non-stop track action for the enthusiast?

Our Action Days cover just about every type of vehicle and enable enthusiasts to mix with like-minded owners as well as taking to the track.

The Drifters will be back to entertain the large crowds with a lunch time display of performance and amazing car control. Plus we have a few new ideas which will be announced in due course to make the event and your visit even more enjoyable.


We keep a close watch on driving standards, issuing yellow and red cards to prevent the worst offenders getting back on the track.

There are lots of conditions to comply with. You must attend a briefing, your car will be sound-checked and unless going out in special sessions, should basically be road legal.


Sound Check


On all our Action Days, the sound limit is 100 dB(A) - measured at the exhaust pipe at 4500rpm on a static test. Your car may be completely road legal, but if it doesn’t meet our check - then sorry, it can’t go out.


Passengers

Passengers can purchase a Passenger Pass, valid all day, which includes Personal Accident Insurance.


Responsible Driving


The days are for enthusiasts to drive their road-registered cars (unless going out in specific sessions). The days are not test sessions for competitors or for drivers to show off their drifting skills or to drive in an aggressive and dangerous
manner. If you don’t want to comply with the rules, then please don’t come. It’s as simple as that.


This really is the start of the season, so lets start it with a bang!

Admission will be £5 per person

Track time is split into 15 minute sessions, if we can pull in 28 members we can have or own dedicated session (avoiding some of the dodgey driving often seen at these sorts of days) - Sessions are £25 EACH - I will try and get all AM sessions (better driving before they open the track up to the public)

Nearest Premier Inn is 6 miles away in Chippenham and can be found - HERE

I'll be convoying from Cheltenham on the morning, details will be sorted closer to the time.

Payment will need to be made by cash or Cheque to me, Bank Transfer (PM me for details), or a GIFT payment to paypal -

Also please include Car make, model and Reg Number and a contact phone number in the PM.

Not that i condone this sort of thing... but a silencer is easily packed with wire wool then pulled out after the test... a bit like a car sized tampon.

Just saying is all...
