Thats been suggested quite a few times, but PF isn't actually a club, so there is no infastructure within to actually organise it... How would it be funded? Who would marshall it? Who would orgainse the liability insurance? etc etc etc...

 

donnigton is too expensive

 

Bedford?

 

having just come back from malta where they got mk1 escort cossies running under 10's i would HONESTLY say have the thing at Hal Far in malta

not to mention being in the company of people who cant import fast cars so have to make slow cars fast by making engines FIT other cars !!!

i was with a bloke who has just built a peugeot 106 and fitted a toyota starlet 1300 turbo engine to it !!!

done all the fabrication work as he said to import fast cars is big cash to register them


i feel we sometimes ignore the hard work of cars these days... we mod cars and not build them anymore

mk1 escorts FOUND in old peoples garages and fitted with V8's and cossie lumps with there OWN hands too,,, thats what fast cars should be about

besides the bright blue sky and 38 degree temps from 8am to 7am also mean its less chance of the bufty window lickers to be washing there cars in the rain

theres NO noise regs there,,, CAUSE NO FUCKER LIVES THERE

no cars get nicked as they gonna have to get a boat to get there too

national day in Malta !!!,,,, sounds crazy but they REALLY love there cars !!!

they also love st george and love cossies !!!

 

people complaining about showing cars in a car park,,, so have a track that is just like driving round sainsburys carpark

 

beford would be good but i dont think Johnathan Palmer wants us pesants , as thats what he calls us


the 3.7mile gt track is brill tho

marco

 

SILVERSTONE.......

 

Never been mate, so no idea what it's like, simply suggested it as i've never heard anyone bad mouth it.

 

its a good track,,,, its used by car companys to show staff ect the new cars ( at ford some went to be shown the new ST ( at the time) and its ecp blah blah blah for cornering ect,,, but its cause its resonably frlom what ive seen and lots of run off

oh and we used to store LOADS of cars there too as it is actually a car dealers carpark too

 

I actually like Croft the way it is. National Day may be a not bothered to go show for me. If people can't commit to traveling long ways to get to a show (which is supposed to be the pinnacle of all the RS shows) then why should I? Besides, I like that I was able to walk in and out of the pit area/wall without having to show a pit pass

 

mallory park?

 

Mallory Park would be far too small.

Oulton Park are not allowed to hold trackdays on a Sunday, only race events.

Silverstone... no passengers allowed on track, also very expensive.

 

DONNINGTON......

Bite the bullet and lets go back....

Even if its a quiet day like croft was....



I can bet you will fill the track LOL

 

With much better security

 

Only if they don't charge stupidly high prices again.... like Ł180 in 2006

 

to be fair Ł180 for a weekend trck day isnt expensive in summer

however, I would expect lots of sessions and no stunt car malarky

there is a bookatrack next wednesday for oulton and its Ł260 midweek!

 

The discounted Nat Day track prices used to be one of the things that i considered it worth being a member of the club for...

I'm fast running out of reasons to continue being a member

Cadwell midweek in June for us was Ł169 open pitlane. 70 cars, NO queing to get out at any time, not even first thing. More track time than me or the car could handle in one day!

 

You can book a trackday at Dono now for Ł139 during the summer and you don't get charged Ł20 for a support vehicle. Don't forget the Ł180 was 2 summers ago!

 

yeah your right, 2 summers ago stuff was cheaper

 

Croft was Ł110 per day mate - thats MUCH cheaper than 2 summers ago LOL

 

I forgot about the extra charges!!!

Crazy money to enter in the first place, then even more for a support vehicle, and IIRC last time at Donno, you got a paddock pass with your track place, but had to pay Ł5 or Ł10 each for additional ones

Its just not worth bothering with

 

And worth every penny IMO

Very enjoyable weekend

 

Yes Croft was very good value, Donington prices has always been more expensive as the track is more expensive to hire, just as Brands & Silverstone are more expensive still.

The only downside (and it is minor) that I could see at Croft was the general public allowed pit access, bit busy in that area and I saw a few people flapping about children around the pit area, one 'helper' removed his bib and threw it to the floor in a paddy!

If your team could have a crack at organising nat day at Donington i'm sure you could make it a great success, that's why I have asked the question in the members secion of the rsoc, but as usual, nobody is answering.

Hopefully we can make some BIG changes at the AGM as i'm sick of this ailing club now.

 

a motocross trcak was only temporary at donington

infield will still be there

DONINGTON IS THE HOME OF NATIONAL DAY

WE ALL KNOW IT

just needs a good deal with the organisers and some good organisation

 

 

 

I also still think that Donington is the place for ND, but as people have already said, not at those prices. It was nearly Ł250 in 2006 with track pass, support vehicle and entry.

OK some tracks cost that anyway but isn't ND supposed to be subsidised?

Croft is D&D's show and the last one of the year so let's keep it that way

I didn't get to ND this year as I was in mid rebuild but the car park location did look v grim and I've seen comments that there were lots of stones. Someone kicked one by accident and nearly hit a concourse RS1600 - you can't show with conditions like that.

 

i'll never go to another car show at Rockingham, simple as

 

The way I feel is, unless I know it's going to be a good show, I can't be arsed to drive there. Simple as really

 

Agree with Dingy here, not that I went to Croft but if you put ND there it will be the kiss of death. The Derby/Durham group have a sorted formula so leave it alone.

 

It's also the home of Pkiey car thieves, We all know it.

 

Was the person in question male and ginger by any chance?

 

 

do you lot of winging peeps really think the rsoc give a fuck what you all think, stop winging and just leave the club and SHOW your unhappy. I aint been a paid up member of the national for years now as i think its full of pompose prats who look down there nose at you

 

Don't forget an RS was stolen at Rockingham too....

 

and one was stolen not too far away from Silverstone when it was Ford Fair

 

lets face it, you will prolly get cars stolen from basildon horse fair

 

Fair shout, wouldnt matter where you had it, cars will still get stolen.

 

One of the upsides for me going to ND at Donny was the vendors Croft had a few but not like ND does (which is a good thing considering I'm Skint and the Exchange rate is horrible for me! )
