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

Sorry, I can\'t help with the noise question. This\'ll be my first time at Mallory and the track isn\'t owned by MSV, who operate most of the tracks we frequent, so "rules" may well be interpreted differently.

Hoping someone else can chip in.

This thread seems to suggest that Mallory does not check and does not care about the noise.  The residents are very use to the noise.  They were running rally cars around the track past 9.30 last night

BUMP. Anyone else want to join us for some trackday fun?

[Casey]

BUMP - less than FOUR weeks to go...........

For those considering tracking your car, don\'t leave it too late to book a place. As this is a Saturday event, it\'s likely to get booked out well before the date.

Remember that spectators are very welcome to come along to watch the action (there is no entry charge to the circuit). Passenger rides will be available for all who ask, you\'ll just need to bring a helmet, or borrow/hire one on the day (~£10 usually).

If you\'ve never done a trackday before, but are thinking of doing one, I urge you to come along and see how the day runs from the "inside"

[Arnie_O]

Hmm. This is getting annoyingly tempting

[Casey]

Aston, hope you can make it, and there is quite a gap to the Cadwell Park possible, maybe, unofficial, yet to be confirmed, outing that no-one is going to in September

After that, it\'s Oulton on 17th November.

However, it you can\'t make it to Mallory this time around, I\'m sure we\'ll be doing a visit next year!

Hey Trackhead Supremo,

Did you know that we can book a garage (clicky)?

Shall we get a couple?

:wiggle

[Casey]

Hmmmm, good point, Supremo-Assistant 1st Class:p;).

I\'ve emailed Nick to ask what garage facilities are available. If there are a limited number then I agree we should bag at least one for storage, wheel, brake pad work, etc (and to shelter in if it rains like today!!).

[Casey]

Crissy - Nick has replied with;

"I am honestly not aware of any pit garages at Mallory. Provided there is not too much stuff I would not worry about it. I will bring a tent and there is the back of Paul Roddison’s truck."

Google Earth images reveal a HUGE concrete/asphalt pit area, a modern track control office block two other long, but small looking buildings along the pit straight.

So, I found these photos online. Some pretty crude and tiny sheds, OK for bikes, but look very tight for cars! A bit like the Bedford setup, but much smaller and basic (canvas roll-up doors?)..... is it worth £20 to book one of these?

I\'ve just bought a tent in Millets - £20 reduced to £8, I\'ll bring that with me for storage anyway.

[CrissyUK]

what\'s wrong with those garages? they seem ok to me as long as you can squeeze the car under the canvas door they\'ll be fine and better than a tent to keep your stuff dry if it\'s raining.
 
I\'ll bring the tent anyway as I\'ll have the sticky tyres with me so I need somewhere to put the spare wheels. Maybe we can decide on the day if it\'s worth getting one, I see on the Circuit Days website that the Caterhams are dominating the scene this time!
 

[Casey]

BUMP!! Time is running out to book for this event

[clive]

With our next event in our MRC / RX8OC Trackday season coming up and with this one being a Saturday, so I hope we will see more of you if only as spectators come along,

A couple of days ago I received some more pictures from the last event so I thought as we needed a prod for you all I would post them up on this thread,

*Dont forget if your a full Mazdarotaryclub member you get £20 towards this event if you go on track*
