Default Passionford trackday - Bedford - 16th Feb 2013 - 139 open pit lane full day

The first passionford trackday has now been setup in association with Palmer Autosport.

Its on February the 16th at bedford autodrome.

Before everyone starts to thank me, dont bother as the hard work was done by SteveB after I approached him about helping me out with sorting this as I knew that prior to his standing down at Bedford RSOC it was him that used to sort a similar day out for them, so I asked him to help me organise a PF one for next year and he has kindly done so.


http://www.clubmsv.co.uk/car-home/ev...gn=passionford

139 quid for the full day open pitlane at the safest circuit in the UK should hopefully go a long way to achieving the ideal of being able to make this event accessible to all passionford users!

ALL makes and models of cars are welcome, but please be aware that bedford has STRICT noise rules imposed on them by the local council, so during the next 6 months make sure your car is quiet enough!

So get booking lads, as I can see this one filling up fast!

Nice one!

Cant wait to see your car go, will have to grab a passenger lap too if thats ok?
Worth doing the silencing anyway mate, noise rules are only ever going to get stricter most places I reckon!

At most Hillclimb events you get 105db drive by!
I've seen some stupidly loud machinery and never seen one pulled for being to noisey.

Bring a helmet and sign on as a passenger Mark, costs a tenner. I'll take you out mate and sure others would. Otherwise spectating is not good there. It's not set up for it at all.

Me being one of the six well done Stevie boy I'll be on it like a car bonnet. Only downside with bedrsoc not organizing my track cover won't apply.

Long way to go for you obviously but if you are in doubt then head over there beforehand they will test it for you any day pretty much, just ask them.

Or better still, just fit a quiet exhaust!

It's not about speed mate, it's about enjoying yourself. I'm generally looking in my mirrors most of the time. Get on it!!

If anyone is dubious about noise just down load the db app on there phone and test it

Bit crude but should give some sort of indication
