Bedford EVENING track "day"
After the mainly succesful last weekend I have been asked if I'd like to organise an evening track day one afternoon/evening at some point in the summer months....
Haven't got full details as yet but just gonna test the water to see if it's worth it...
Max of 40 cars so no queing AT ALL!!!!
Around £119 for the afternoon/evening...(summer whole days are around £249)
Basically just wanna get some feedback to see if it's worth it or not...
Please DO NOT make this a debate about noise levels etc etc

guess it depends on the hrs, though for me, it's a fair distance for a couple of hours
, fully understand the price difference for a full day now too, which expains the high'ish costthe idea seems good though
noise issue? what noise issue

See if you can hammer them on the price Steve!
You know you'll easily fill it, and £99 would be better really.
Depends on their hours, but I presume it's like the 2 till 7 hours. I did one last year, and you ended up feeling a little bit short changed.

Unfortunatly I don't set the prices they do...... and I/Beds Grp don't make a penny I just do it for the love!!!
People like Bedford due to the fact its a long track, open pit lane and most importantly when you have an excursion across the grass the chances of hitting something is extremely minimal.
Comparing what I did at Donington 2005 and Bedford 2005.... Bedford I did 170 ish miles and Donnington in sessions I only managed just over 100 miles and tbh I didin't care if it was a noisey day or not as the car I had was quiet so being a noisy day ment fuck all me as it would to many others.
The way tracks are going now if you have a noisy car you're fucked so you have 2 choices make your car quieter or stay at home.

MSV put a evening track day on for 40 people they WILL sell out weither PF/RSOC/Ford clubs in general go or not.
