Is the Classic & Retro at Santa Pod again?

How about a track day at Curborough (Lichfield, Birmingham) . Yes I know it is small, but it is reasonably central and not too expensive, I think. It is possible to race it as a sprint in 2 laps. Monday is normally the easiest day to throw a sickey off work for most.

I have discussed Haynes Motor Museum http://www.haynesmotormuseum.com/sitemap.php with Tony Smith. Could be a good venue for a summer meet. Pic-nic / BBQ with friends & partners??? PLUS they have a test circuit. Oh and of course the Museum.

nice idea in theory for the curborough as long as you only have a few participants.....

and the motor museum....... you can hire the circuit for £250 for a day... 3 hrs morning and 3 hrs afternoon......maximum participants 12 and only one car allowed on the circuit at any one time and noise restrictions apply also

[simontaylor]

Perhaps mini-meet for these 2 Andy?
Noise restricton says 105dB, how ever loud that is!

yes mate would be best with only a few in the group and then it would be an acceptable day, the museum track noise level is 105 db on weekdays only..... it drops to 98 i think on a sunday and ....... No race Prepared cars allowed
but if you have 6 cars @£42 each = 1 hour's track time per car not bad

or
you could go to Croix and spend probably £200-£250 for the day all inc travel costs and have a whole day without noise restrictions and be able to overtake other cars...... proper fun

I think we should look to have an event a month over the spring/summer as a club sponsored event so to speak with other events listed to allow people to pick and choose.

I've been speaking to Dermott recently and the Irish chapter and definitely going to 'der Ring' so we may want to consider that.

I also think it would be great to do a tour of Ireland - they would show us some great hospitality if we went I'm sure. Meet up on a Friday drive up to Hollyhead through the Welsh A/B roads stay somewhere in North Wales before going over on the Ferry on a Saturday morning. Come back Monday sometime be a great weekend I'm sure. I'll try and get some Ferry Prices. Accom cheap in Rural Ireland, and cheap track time while we are there.

LeMans 24hr has been mentioned by 1 or 2 people also.

I will find 1 sprint or hillclimb to add to the list per month too so any would be competitors can plan something where there will be other club members taking part hopefully.

Tony..... if you're going to drive all the way to hollyhead..... you go right past the Anglesy circuit.......got to be worth a few laps

i'd be interested if you do as My sister lives in Bangor so I've got somewhere to kip down the road from the circuit
