***Japfest 2012 Tracktime***

[Casey]

I not going to get there by 7am & it will be more like 7.30am !!

7.30am should be fine - but remember to allow time for possible traffic queues at the entry gate. If you don\'t get to the stand by ~7.45am then I can foresee problems with driving the car back to the pit area "against the flow" of incoming cars, plus getting to the 8.10am briefing (no briefing=no track). We can probably sign on after the briefing if time is tight, but there were long queues last year so my plan was to sign on at 8am, or even earlier, to get this out of the way.

Well I am getting a little excited now... Still have things to do but I can\'t wait for 4 track seasions.

Any better idea of the weather yet? It seems like whatever site I look at its different

Me too.
Managed to finish the design and manufacture of a bespoke rear diffuser for the FD. Fitted it last night during the \'biggest\' down pour that lasted the whole two and a half hours I was laid on the drive !!
 
I\'ll post up some pictures later in the Third Gen section.

You will be fine.
 
Just do what the rest of us do, which is enjoy the event. There is no direct competing, just whizzing round the track with other Rotary\'s.

^^^:Thumbs-up Kodiak, nice to have you on the track team!

Yep, all good advice, just go round at the pace you are personally happy with and enjoy yourself. We\'re showcasing the cars and having fun, not racing, so don\'t worry! The safety briefing will cover all the etiquette whilst on track.

Given how fast I\'ve seen T2\'s go on track I wouldn\'t worry anyway! Jim (lennycarloff) is out there in his T2 to keep you company too!

BBC shows dry all day, sunny intervals about 13 degrees - don\'t forget your suntan lotion - no lobsters on Sunday please :Laugh

NOTE that, due to car technical issues forcing withdrawal, there are currently TWO places available on the 9am session and ONE place on the noon session. If you turn up in time to pick up the tracktime passes from Lisa and attend the safety briefing then it\'s not too late to show your car on track at JF! You will need to pay the £30/£20 (Member/non-Member) fee to via the shop or to Lisa on the day.

Best PM Lisa and I asap if you want to take up this option.

Hope that\'s not technical says with your car Malcolm

^^^ Don\'t know yet, my car hasn\'t been started since the North Weald Autosolo, nearly 4 weeks ago. Been trying to find time to get out to the garage all day, but it looks like it will be this evening before I get a chance to check her over! She\'s better be OK as I\'ve coughed up for the insurance at REIS this morning!

[Arnie_O]

Howuch was your Insurence out of interest?

[shaunwil]

I\'m off to load the car up ready for the set off tomorrow !
