***TRACKDAY SERIES, Mallory Park, Sat, 7th August***

[Casey]

I have to say I\'m slightly surprised at the low take-up for this trackday. It\'s unusual for us to arrange a SATURDAY trackday, but we thought it would enable more people to make it, rather than a weekday. Plus, Mallory Park is more centrally located than most circuits in England, so should be more accessible. As it turns out, we\'ve gotabout half the number booked on this than went to Cadwell on a Wednesday back in June :xconfused

Is it the cost, is Saturday still a problem for people, is it the location, is it.....? Would be useful to know if we can change anything to make these events attractive to more members.....

It works for me Malcom!
 
Just adding to the Noise discussion, the last time I was at Mallory they weren\'t testing for noise and did not make much mention of it all day.  It\'s quite secluded so I don\'t think it\'ll be much of an issue.  Think Santa Pod with less wind.

[Will66]

Additionally, the MX5Nutz chaps are starting to get uppety about the relative pace of their Mazdas compared to ours.  Obviously it\'s a trackday and not a race but a form of gauntlet may well have been tossed to the floor.

[Sicknote]

Bugger, looks like it\'s full now, knew I should have booked earlier !!

Malc, could you check for me but looks as if I\'m too late.   :rolleyes:

Hi Dave,

Malcolm is away for a few days so I have asked MoT about a reserves list and apparently this is not a short one as lots of people realized at the last minute that they had missed out. Please let me know if you wish to be included in the reserves and you never know a space might become available.  

All the best,
Crissy

Already E-mailed Nick about reserves list... this could work out to be another expensive month... Some parts purchases, Track day (hopefully) Tax, MOT, Insurance plus another event oh dear.

[Casey]

OK, as stated above, this event is sold out. There is a (long) reserves list running and I\'m aware that Sicknote and Arnie_0 are actively working on a possible "time-share" with others.

Here is the list of paid up drivers as I currently know it;

DRIVER LIST
Casey, trackday booked, hotel booked
CrissyUK, trackday booked, hotel booked
Madder, hotel booked
C J R, trackday booked, hotel booked
Will66, trackday booked
Shaunwil, trackday booked, hotel booked
Hypothermia, trackday booked, hotel booked
MrHanky, trackday booked
Clive, trackday booked, hotel booked

Aplologies for those of you who may have wanted to book this event but didn\'t do so in time. Please be aware that trackdays are now VERY popular and we aren\'t a big enough club to risk "pre-booking" a block of places on the basis of unknown take up.

We\'ve still got two "official" MRC supported trackdays arranged for later in the year and, once  the Mallory event is completed, I will also look for possible interest in a extra September trackday, to fill in a gap in the calendar

[CrissyUK]

You know that nobody is going to the September one...  we didn\'t like it that much!

[Sicknote]

I\'ll be there guys.

I\'ve booked into the Kirkby Hotel which is 100 yards from Malory Park,
not sure if anyone else will be there on the Friday but see you all on the
Saturday.

PS I\'ve booked the Master suite with double Jacuzzi so a relaxing time is on the cards.  hehe

[CrissyUK]

Blimey! Can we all come and visit to check that your Jacuzzi is working?!  

Glad you have managed to get in, see you there!

[shaunwil]

Well just got back from pips with my alignment. Pip thinks I\'ve cracked an apex seal and listening to the engine it doesn\'t sound good. Hopefully nothing is totally gone wrong in the engine but it does mean me getting it out to see what has happened.

I\'ve rung Clive because MOT said he had a couple of people looking to book on.

I\'ll more than likely be there on the day because the hotel is non transferable or refundable. I\'d be in the 1st gen though and its not really designed for the track !

[CrissyUK]

Oh no, sorry to hear this Shaun
