Full details of dates the tracks open aren't usualy available untill Jan/Feb.

I know Easter has been good for the Ring being open to the public for the past several years, hopefull no change to that in 2006.

Don't think you'll find many up for a week at the Ring!

Don't know why, but a week's worth of track driving seems like it's asking for trouble.......................... there is too much of a good thing.

However, a long weekend, and I shall probably be up for it

It might be worth going the day before we usually do and staying a day later, as the Ring has limited opening times, so that would make sense, as it is usually open on the Friday and Monday over Easter.....

Going to look at a car tomorrow night hopefully that might make a suitable ring-car as ive not got anything to use currently and am fed up only getting to drive other peoples cars roundcause it means i have to treat them with a modicum of respect

April is starting to sound like not long to wait now, fooking buzzing about it

Ferry from hull costs us 99 quid as a club booking with discount.

Quite a bit more i think if you pay normal.
