If it isn't, I'm going to look to organise one myself.

I've done it before with the MR2 lot, I have some good contacts within Palmersport, so I reckon it wouldn't be a problem.

If it was to be a PassionFord track day, then all the better.

The issue was the track not being open at the time of year its cheap i think mate.

Although personally by the time we included hotel + petrol + tyres + food for mongo etc last year it was a grand anyway, so i couldnt really care less if the tickets are an extra 100 quid cause its later in the year, its a small amount extra to pay overall really.

Passionford open pitlane day at castle coombe gets my vote

Anyone know the current cost for the track for a day?

Was only about 10,000 last time i enquired, so not a problem if best part of 100 of us want to go, and the track is easily up to that volume of traffic

Of course Combe gets your vote - wouldn't get mine though.

Too far for most people, and the circuit claims too many victims.

Bear in mind that every man and his dog is building a track car, and doesn't actually have any track experience, safer venues are required.

Worth a try

Everywhere else is a right fucking mission from me


In all seriousness, the javelin days over in norfolk would probably fit the bill and are very affordable

Yes they are but they are mostly airfield days and you tend to both shred the tyres and pepper your car with stone chips...

just thought i'd add my 2 cents. If your organising a track day may I recommend the javelin track days? I beleive they are over this way. Not many people think of them but they are supposed to be good!

Not by the Beds RSOC in 2007 I'm affraid...... However we WIIL be back in 2008....


Basically the track hire cost goes up by double from Feb - March so if we held a day next year the "Cheap track day at Ł99 a car" would become an "Expensive track day at nearer Ł200 a car" and I personally wouldn't pay that much increase so we are having a "gap year" in 2007 but WILL 100% be back in 2008....

TBH we are gutted as its a nice start to the year and breaks the winter up as everyone is fired up ready for Central Day @ Pod 2 months later.

I'll be up for a Passionford trackday wherever it is - Combe is my face, but will travel anywhere to support whoever takes it on:

Pon & Alex get my vote for the task
