***TRACK Session Japfest 14th May***

[Casey]

^^^ Excellent Jim, thanks for your support - name added to list.

[Clarky]

Many thanks for your support Clarky.
 
I\'ve added your name to the list above. Don\'t worry if you are a novice, they\'ll be a full briefing and we\'ll look after you on the day! Just make sure you don\'t fall foul of the 100dB noise limit, as they are quite strict at Combe!
 
Casey

Thanks for that, but will have to get a sound check!

[Casey]

BUMP! We still need more people to make this work

Thanks to those who have added their support - your names have been added to the list above. BUT we still need more names for this to work.

Just £20 for a track session of 15-18 minutes at Japfest (if you are a full MRC member - £30 if not, still a discount on the £35 advertised price).

C\'mon, let\'s have a great showing of FB, FC, FD and FE rotary power to the Japfest crowds and cameras (any other rotary powered car not listed is also most welcome!!)

[RobMatthews]

Sorry guys im gonna have to pull out i dont think i\'ll be around

[Casey]

Rob, really sorry to hear you can\'t now do this, but thanks for letting us know.

I\'ve amended the list at the start of this thread with some extra names of people who\'ve been in touch, but we are still short of the 20 we need.

I\'m really surprised there aren\'t more people who want to have a go at a short track session at such a massive event at a very low cost - £30 for non-members, £20 for members.

***URGENT***

OK, all of a sudden, the idea of tracktime at Japfest has gained a lot of interest, and is causing a slight dilemma for the MRC.

The original plan was for a "Rotary only" exlusive session, and I was quite confident we could fill the 20 places from members here and across on the RX8OC. However, the RX8OC have decided to book an exclusive RX-8 session, and offer it FREE to RX8OC members. That session is already fully allocated, but has "drained" away some people from the planned "All Rotary" session I had originally envisaged.

Some people, who are members of both the MRC and RX8OC (like me) will most likely go on both sessions, but there are some people (mostly the first timers) who have indicated they will only go on the RX8OC session. We may therefore now be short on numbers to fill a 2nd 20 slot session.

As the MRC has to pay a lump sum "up front" (IN THE NEXT FEW DAYS) to secure exclusive tracktime we need to ensure there will be sufficient takers.

I\'ve updated the list, removing the names of those on the free RX8OC session who have not (yet) indicated if they will do the "All Rotary" session.

WOULD ANYONE ELSE WHO WANTS TO JOIN IN THIS EXCLUSIVE SESSION PLEASE POST UP IN THIS THREAD ASAP.

If we don\'t get sufficient support by the time we have to pay Japfest we may have to wait for more take-up. Knowing how popular Japfest tracktime has been in previous years, this might jeopardise securing an exclusive session.

^^ :Thumbs-up Thanks Al.

OK folks, the booking forms were issued today by Japfest and I spoke to Lisa and agreed we\'d go ahead and book the session. I\'ll await confirmation from Japfest that we\'ve secured an exclusive session and post back on here.

I\'m hoping, with well over three months to go, we\'ll be able to fill the few remaining slots.

Many thanks for eveyone\'s support, and please cajole others who "might be on the brink" to sign up to fill the spaces!

[countzero1971]

c\'mon folks you know you want to

[Arnie_O]

I am very surprised that we have not yet managed to fill all the slots already.

[Casey]

^^^ I think it may be too far away in time for most people to commit?

Also, Icewraithuk PM\'d me today to say his wife has reminded him that they have another commitment that weekend and he\'s had to withdraw. He was down for BOTH the RX8OC session and this one. He\'s gutted as he has been to Japfest for many years.

List amended......

So, we still need more people to join us for this exclusive track session........

[Arnie_O]

If not we all pay a little more and get more space on track :p

[C J R]

Hi all,
Sorry for the late interest in this but work commitments mean I have very little time either in the UK, or to keep up with the club events.
 
I will be happy to join you on this track event (subject to being in the UK) LOL.
Let me know how much and when to pay.
 
Chris

[Lisa]

Hi Chris, Good news :Thumbs-up

Just add your name to the list.  

I am in the process of changing over Club Shop sites so will put the details up and price on the new shop which hopefully will go live in the next 7/10 days.

[Casey]

^^ :Thumbs-up I hope your commitments will allow you to make it, Chris.

Still waiting for Japfest to confirm the track slot time we have been allocated (but they\'ve taken our money!). Once that is received, places with be available for purchase through the club shop. I\'ll post up here as soon as I have more information.

(EDIT: Lisa just beat me to it ^^)
