Nah

Don't worry about things like that.

bviously turn up as and when you need to ( i think normally 8-8.30)

The security guard will stop you but show him your helmet (pmsl) and he'll let you in/or tell him you're there for the track day.

No probs at all.

From the Met Office for Derby, East Midlands....

The Hour by Hour Forecast says light rain then goes on to say on another page

Friday:
Very unsettled, with rain spreading east, some of it heavy, and accompanied by strong winds and perhaps even gales. Maximum temperature 10 °C.

Oh well.... whether it's light or heavy rain, you won't see me going out on track!

Still looking forward to this even though the weathers looking a little ropey.....just means theres more chances of getting it more sideways!!!!

Quadra's more or less all ready to go - intercoolers fitted, fan controller fitted, rear pads fitted, ring damage patched up....

Just got to gap my plugs then we are ready!!!
