IMOC & Mk1 Club Trackday - 13th September 2008

[tonigmr2]

Really sorry guys but I think I am going to end up not being able to come to this - my racing schedule has eaten up my weekends and dosh.

[System-G]

to tell you the truth i will probably be awesomely quick............at going round in circles

Me too mate

As BookaTrack staff we have to "set examples" when we're on circuit with them... So I am really looking forward to this

[System-G]

I have just booked & Paid (Although our names are yet to appear on the attendee list).

I notice that according to the attendee list we have 26 names down for those wanting to drive (excluding ToniG & spectators).

Only 8 (9 if you count us) MR2's confirmed. Not good really. Come on guys/girls you only have 1 day left to get the day booked at £105.00 from there it goes up to £119.00

[mr2mk1chick]

have booked a provisional place, will pay once i have the moola

Any other mk1.5's going?

Nik has his name down on the list. Is he not going anymore?

[Kieran Williams]

not sure if nik is coming or not, will ask him

[TubbyTwo]

im gonna have to drop out of this one unexpected work need on the car means i dont have the cash

i will still come and watch tho!

[Jaspa]

I put my name down but cannot commit to anything just yet. If I can get the weekend off, I'll happily pay the extended price to join you, but we'll see what happens. May even have a mk1 by then

[System-G]

I (amongst others) drove this venue yesterday as part of the Toyota Sprint Series.

Absolutely brilliant

Javelin made good use of the old airfield which a lot of is overgorwn so they had us weaving in and out of shrubs and bushes growing through the surfaces in places. Absolutely awesome

It was also very wet in morning... very, very wet:


But despite all the water there was loads of grip. I also got chance to practice a bit of gooning which went well until I ran out of talent and had a 180 spin. But that didn't stop me, I continued pretty much doing every corner with opposite lock (and not spinning)

Come on sign up - you really won't regret it

[Simarshy]

Sorry I didn't get around to paying for this.

Got a few money issues atm so not sure I'm going to be able to make it I'm affaird guys

Si

[Poohbear]

I'm out of this as well....too many things to sort on the car and not enough time/money to get sorted.

[BenF]

I'm booked in, taking the Roadster - I'm working on getting my old Mk1 there too..

Ben

[System-G]

Top stuff Ben

Will be good to see you again

Will Sarah & the little one be in tow?

[BenF]

Sarah and Kate may drop in to catch up with folks but won't be staying for the day.

I'm seeing if my brother in law is going to come down with the Mk1 - if he can make it, it would be his first trackday driving ever.

New rear tyres are now sorted for the Roadster and I'm just about to ring Javelin up and pay for the day

[BenF]

OK, just spoken to Colin at Javelin - for those that are booked as provisional ( there are 8 at the moment ) you need give them a ring and pay to ensure you don't loose your space.

Their previous event is now full and so people are beginning to book this one up - certainly since I provisionally booked on the 16th there are now about 10 more names down for the event.

Cheers,

Ben

yes i spoke to him today and it seems hardly any body has commited. its only down the road from me so its not a problem but it would be nice to know if people are diffently going if not then it will be a normally track day with a mixed bag of cars. i was hoping to see 50 mr2 on the track which would be awsome. regards max

Hey Max,

There appears to be 14 MR2's (most with 2 drivers) confirmed according to the site here:
http://www.javelintrackdays.co.uk/cgi-b ... f=20080913

We would love to have you along

Sadly though, I doubt we would ever see that many MR2's on track at once. Primarily most circuits (including airfields) have a maximum number of cars allowed on track (usually a lot lower than 50) and secondly because a lot of people get too worried about taking their pride and joy on track in fear of the worst...
IIRC, the most MR2's we had at a single trackday was Anglesey a few years ago where there were something like 30+ MR2's in the paddock and about 25 signed up for track - it was really good too

[Scott Barton]

FAO Everybody
Just spoken to Colin and he has kindly agreed to hold the special £105 price until the 1st September. Anybody who is provisional after that time risk having thier place taken by another car and/or have to pay £119.

Get paid up people... (myself included... )

Been a bit preoccupied with JAE.....

[Jaspa]

Am I being blonde?

How do I book 2nd drivers or is it the same price again? trying to book now

[CM1GT]

at first my name didn't appear at all now it apperas twice, time for another email to them

[afennell]

Got to get my damn rear callipers replaced now so holding back on paying until it’s done. Thought I had got away with just cleaning them up.
