I've had a busy time at work recently, and have got a few more busy weeks coming up ... all of which means that I've had no track time for me for a while now, and won't for a few more weeks
However, I've just booked Oulton Park with Easytrack on 24th Aug

Anyone else fancy this? Oulton is a fantastic track, and it would be great to see some 'usual suspects' there, as well as some track newbies

Edit: Should have added, its an open pit lane day

I may have been up for this but had already booked the Combe date a couple of months back and funds won't stretch to both. I may be able to come along as a passenger if you don't mind?

Of course, Dave. It'd be great to see you there. And you are welcome to as many pax rides as you can stomach!

You're more than welcome to have a few drives, as well

Er.. FCCUK get 10% discount on Easytrack days. See 'Members discounts' on here etc (a bit late if you already booked!)

I'll see what else I can do. You have any 2nd drivers/passengers?

pm if easier

Thanks for letting me know I may have some 2nd drivers on the day ... will let you know

It might be useful to others who are considering booking, but I've already booked (and won't be a member for much longer )

Its the in 'Members discounts' section on this website Dave.

I'll sort something for you on the day

Thanks Tim

I'll be quite easy to spot on the day (unless several other bright yellow Westfields also turn up )

I'm tempted, My car blew up on it's last visit there

Sorry to hear that...

Mine went ok last time out http://forum.alfa156.net/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=60473&PN=1

Not far off now

Has anyone booked on track, or planning to pop along for passenger rides?

I've just tried to book a garage, but have left it too late and they are all gone. So I'm hoping for a dry day (or I'll have to sneak into the back of someone else's garage )

Hi Dave, I'm sorry to say that I can't get the day off on Wednesday (only the Monday and Tuesday). Since the redundancy in the department it has been difficult to get flexibility.

Hmm, I could come along to this one in the 20vt. Bit of a long trek though, would be much fresher if perhaps I had somewhere to stay closer to the circuit and drive up in the morning in tandem with a certain someone perhaps

There might be a bed available somewhere nearby, Dan ...

The only health warning attached is that my mum and dad are staying with us for a few weeks, to help look after the kids during the summer holidays ... so we've got quite a house full already!

But, if you don't mind that, then there is room for you to kip

No worries, Dave. It's a shame that you can't make it, but I'm sure we'll catch up on track soon.

I'm keen to learn how my car should be properly driven!

I've had a similarly full house lately!

I'd pitch a tent if you've no room at the inn! But if the offer stands, I'll book the track day later this eve?

Dan

The offer stands, Dan ... we'll find somewhere to put you

(a sleeping bag in the hedge?)

Much appreciated Dave

Will confirm booking later tonight when I'm home and off the iPhone. Sat in traffic on M25 right now

Not done Oulton before, should be a good day!

Dave,

Oulton park now booked. I may however have alternative digs for that night as may be taking a passenger with me.
Either way up, I'll let you know asap probably tomorrow, and at least will see you at the track, for some reciprocal passenger rides

-Dan

Sounds good Dan

Looking forward to a trip out in the old girl

You can probably give me some tips

"Bounce off the rev limiter in every gear"!

you'll teach me nothing then

Guys, please make sure you introduce yourselves, and please excuse me if Im a little pre occupied though, a busy day to run.

See you all tomorrow folks, heading north later today

See you in the morning, Dan

Make sure you go careful on the drive there Dave

I'll try to get the in one piece this time

Dan

I may have a garage ... a few came free this morning, and I tried to book one, but the online booking wasn't clear and I'm waiting for a reply confirmation

Have a look along them when you arrive

Good luck for tomorrow guys!

Dave, hope you make it to the track in one piece!!

Hope you're having a good day Dave. Weather looks good for it
