Default Next ring trip, Aug 11-15 or 18-22 of august.

Date is dictated by basically being the only dates towards the end of the season where the track is actually open much.

Who's will be going?

I will probably be a passenger as i dont think the mini will be ready in time (have decided thats my next ring car probably)

Doubt many people will say yes against National Day.

Tho that said I'll say yes, I'll be there. Just so Mike has a reason to p*ss himself

2 hours isnt enough IMHO

Bit of queueing and you could be lucky to get a couple of laps.

Espeically if you have bad weather on the longer day.

Personally would sooner do both, but national day is another decent event.

So I think most of our lot will be doing national day
