How many track passes are left?

Can i leave a deposit on one?

Engine needs to be built and put in and i'm confident it will be done in time but you never know.

Yeh I reckon I will be on the rev limiter in 6th before the turn at the end of the start finish straight, and will just have to tootle along to Quarry at 140mph.

Mind you pork chopper fish, with your current rear end geometry, your gonna need a bible as well as your steering wheel to get you round the bends.

Really looking forward to it actually! Missed last year due to getting wed.
Me and 3 mates coming down for a beer/petrol soaked weekend

Porkie, any chance of a passenger lap or 2? Want to see what it's like to go round a circuit quickly,instead of at stg 1 speed...

Quite looking forward to this.

Even though I'm on track, I'd love a ride in the Exige if at all possible Sean?

Rich... prepare to sell everything you own! This is the car you have been looking for! although Combe is NOT going to show off what it (and Sean) can really do!

Bedford will, as will Croft!

Sean - cool mate, cheers!

Lee - that's what I'm worried about. It's probably stage 3 cossie quick in a straight line which is what mine is now, but following Sean from your Sierra at Bedford, it's amazing how flat and level it stays through the corners.

Was gonna go Caterham route next year anyway...............
