Couple more that don't pop onto the forum !

Yep, Add Si Cook (Blokey) in a Blue Mk1 SC too - that's not a bad turn out for a trackday ...

[Quigonjay]

how much fuel can i expect to be using during the track day?
if i fill up at home before setting off, bout 80miles there, will i have enough fuel for the day?
also, whats the best way to transport 2 tyres if i have a passenger?
will they fit in the boot stood up? strapped to engine lid?

[leewaring]

Theres a petrol station about 3-5 mins drive away so no problem there. As for wheels.... One can go in front boot instead of spare wheel, Get your passenger to hold the other

[JJ]

do they sell optimax?

Follow me at lunch .. I'm expecting 3/4 missing by then !

You'll probably do a tank... maybe a tank and a half !!

Your not exactly cruising !!

Get your passenger to hold the other

Nice to look forward too ... 80 miles of it !!!!

what about food? will there be a burger van or owt there? or is it best to bring your own food?

Burger van unlikely... cheap petrol station about 5 miles away for crisps and stuff.. best bring a pack lunch !

Local garages sell a decent range of overpriced junk but this is usually on site....



It's not too bad, coffee isn't all that nice and it's hotter than the sun for about 2 hours but the food is above average van stuff and not too expensive. If you can be bothered I'd bring your own and use the van if you still feel the need

[leewaring]

Ok i'm gonna be there for the first briefing and ready for passenger rides so if you want to balance you car either side then let me know =D>

Setting off at 6:15

where abouts are you?
are you going M62 or A59?

[leewaring]

Erm..... not sure as i'm not driving. Meeting up with the TopGear200sx (TopGear is the name of the garage not the tv show) first then prob be heading down the M62.... Not too sure tho.

[Icsunonove]

Michael, its a top van!

Last time had an avocado and smoked bacon wrap, was excellent!

Might turn up and wait in the passenger queue (hope the queues aren't as long as Alton Towers)

[Quigonjay]

directions are a bit iffy on the bookatrack site, anyone been before?
if you click on the link for the map the little red circle showing the location appears on one side of the B1228 but it says to look out for Halifax way which is on the other side of the B1228

[Icsunonove]

Dead easy Jason!

so you do turn down halifax way from the look of that map?

[michael]

I'm not sure which way you were planning to go but if you do the M62 > M1 > A64 route just look for the air museum signs and follow those - if you can find the A1079 and then the B1228 (you come off the A64, onto a roundabout, 4th turning (I think) onto the A1079 for about 10 metres (get straight into the RH lane from the roundabout) and then you turn right down the B1228 (country road, some nasty corners if you don't know it) it's very hard to miss it.

Were you thinking of going cross country via Todmorden?
