***TRACKDAY SERIES - Oulton Park, Wed 17th Nov***

[Casey]

OK, seven of us had great fun at Cadwell (see HERE) with our rotaries earlier this week, so time to post up the first details of the 3rd Trackday in the 2010 MRC Trackday Series at Oulton Park.

We will be booking this via our friends at Mazdaontrack (MoT), who are offering us a £5 discount off the £149 price for this day for FULL MRC Members. In addition, FULL MRC Members will be able to claim a £20 contribution via Lisa (Club Secretary) AFTER they have attended the day, so the price could be as low as £124.

For those of you eager to book, here are further details of the event, and the booking form - CLICK HERE This is a full  day Open Pit Lane event on the fabulous International 2.7mile circuit (8 corners).

NOTE: The noise limit for this circuit is 105dB.

The discount code to be entered at the checkout is the same one we have used throughout the year. "Regulars" will know it already, but please PM me if you need it, or have forgotten it.

Some of us have a way to travel to this circuit, so I will be investigating hotels for us to stay at the night before and possibly the night of the event, to avoid driving home fatigued. I\'ll post up some details later. If anyone knows of any good, cheap, hotels they can recommend to accommodate up to about 20 of us then please let me know!

If anyone has any questions, please post in this thread, or PM me.

We\'re going to Oulton Park!

^^^ :Thumbs-up  PM sent Jim

Apologies, in my haste to post up I misquoted the price slightly (now amended in my first post). The price is £149, then £144 with the MoT discount for FULL MRC members :o:Hammer

I am in too providing the car has a working engine in it. It\'ll be a late booking for me.  

[lennycarloff]

Hi crissy what have you been upto, you havent damaged your motor have you ?

[CrissyUK]

it committed hara-kiri on the way home. as I stopped to get fuel on Wednesday morning at Horncastle it refused to start and had to wait 15-20 minutes for it to come back to life again.

I got home OK after it started but it\'s touch and go at the moment. Car booked in with Mazda to verify engine failure and hoping to get it replaced under warranty in time for Oulton Park (I\'ll drive non-stop for a weekend to clock the 1000 miles run-in if I have to).

If it was still summer I could probably try and see the romantic aspect of chilling in the sun for 20 minutes every time I go and visit my friends at one of the local Shell garages, being Autumn I\'d rather be at home snuggling up with one of the cats (against their will, of course).  

Worst case scenario I\'ll do the remaining track days in the Scooby, but I fancy that like a hole in the head.

I can\'t get the days of work now one of the other guys has got three weeks in a row off (how come I can\'t get three weeks in a row off?) and then is off to Connecticut the week he gets back....

[C J R]

Hopefully I should be able to make this event.
 
I\'ll have to leave booking until a little later to gauge work constraints etc.

[Casey]

Sorry you can\'t make it Steve.

Hope you will be able to make it Chris!

I\'ll try my best to be at this with the FD sorted but I can\'t commit till I get my engine back. Hopefully will have it back next week but there is loads of stuff to do !

Shaun

[Casey]

Understood Shaun. Fingers crossed you can get things sorted in time and hope to see you there!

[shaunwil]

I should have a better idea very soon ! Just want to get it fixed now, getting on to 2 months now !

Shaun

[CrissyUK]

Why is it taking so long to get your engine fixed Shaun?
 
I am facing an imminent replace or rebuild and am getting worried when I read that you have been waiting 2 months to have yours sorted out...  
 
Fingers crossed for you!

[shaunwil]

Workload of my tuner ! Was in a queue and he had some cars to get sorted first.

Oulton is indeed a fandabidozi circuit. Druids is a very exciting corner, especially in the wet but then the whole circuit is exciting.
 
Crissy, why are you scared of your Scoobie?
