We are waiting for Bedford to confirm if the track will be available as they are doing major track repairs and "think" that it won't be available until March..... if that is the case we won't be doing a Beds track day in 2007 as the hire cost in March is more than double than Feb... taking away the "cheap track day" as it WILL have to be double the price and tbh £200 in March is a little steep compared to £99 in Feb.


As soon as we know the score all info will be passed on..... worse case we will be back as good as ever in 2008!!!!!

PS.....

after the amount of people moaning in 2005 about how cold it was with Grp stands (imagine that cold in Feb!!!) we didn't bother in 2006 and won't bother in the future events. Hope that clears that up

Helen and others that want to know,


The format will be that same as last year.....

90 drivers
60 passengers/2nd drivers
100 spectators passes, but tbh I don't know what the spectating is like as it's very limited
20 pit garages

250 people on site is the limit

Does anyone know if Redline Track attack is happening at Bedford this year?? Usually October time, failing that I think I'll have to do a MSV trackday there in the next couple of months, need at least one Bedford hit this year!

I did an MSV day on Thursday just gone......

I've made quite a good contact there, and can get a good rate, so I may look to put one on soonish.......

Agreed

I was kicking myself not booking it, esp after NOSRST told me to for months beforehand (thanks to Tony Turbo for letting me go )

If it goes ahead, it's something i definitely want to book as my car is better suited in the cold weather - and this year had brilliant conditions

Keep us posted
