Elvington trackday Sat 4th feb

[Quigonjay]

just to confirm - do they actually check tyres for roadworthyness or owt at the start of the trackday because my current ones are already below limit?

Elvingtons quite abrasive ! So I dont' think you'll have a problem with slicks looking at it from a grip front, but don't expect them to last long if your gunning it around with some pace !

Are you a goer jay ?

We'd only stop you going out if your tyres are showing canvass at elv. It doesn't matter if they are legal or not for airfield days.

Try not to get nicked on the way to the trackday though.

well i've decided i'll definately turn up but not 100% sure if i'll be able to afford to go on track yet, do we need a helmet for elvington?

If you are driving second drivers are free, so if this is the case he will not have to pay.

Nobody pays to be a passenger, so no charge there.

[Quigonjay]

Ruddy hell, he's had his car a month and he's already hitting the tracks !! Well done jay !

Look out for me in the white mr2, white wheels.. I'm the black haired, ugly big nosed midget

[BenF]

Looks like I may be up at Elvington this Saturday as well - not driving, but just as a passenger, taking photos and maybe some video footage.

See you there

[JJ]

Hey JJ, sounds good to me - definitely would be on for a passenger ride - spins, slides all good

It'll actually be good to to a trackday and relax, get a few passenger rides - when you're driving there's never a spare moment.

As for pics .. there's a dodgy pic of me on the Committee page linked off the button at the top of the page. I'll leave you to decide if I'm bigger or uglier in real life

[Quigonjay]

on the bookatrack website it says max 32 cars in attendance for the elvington trackday, but there are 40 cars booked?

[Icsunonove]

Jason,

I believe they have changed the layout of their track now to make it longer, so I think they can have 42 (?) cars max, something like that.

[Quigonjay]

taking photos and maybe some video footage.

See you there

be sure to catch me on some footage
will be trying to take my tyres down to the carcass and testing my lsd

[Quigonjay]

Lauren - if i turn up at the same time as everyone else (what time is that btw? 8am?) what time will i have to wait till to see if someone hasnt turned up? when the track opens?
cheers
