Hi Tony, Sunday 2nd October Kirkistown Track Day. Full day start with drivers brief at 9:30 and we run to 5 with a half hour break for lunch. Max of 30 cars and by 3 we are normally down to 15 cars, some lesser marks just cannot keep going all day.

Will email you more details.
Cheers,
Colin L

Yes. Nornally £5 plus a diposit. If I were you I'd buy a helmet lining from your local motorbike shop, there's been a lot of sweaty heads in those helmets.

Hi, as Bob says helmets are available for loan on the day, just don't take it home!! The noise limit is 95db I believe, and I think that we will run open pitlane witha maximum of 16 cars on cicuit at any one time. Get booked and come and enjoy!! Best regards, Tony

OK - but just to clarify as I don't do sessioned track days normally - you say open pit-lane with a mx of 16 on track - presumably then you'll queue other cars in the pit-lane that are waiting to go out & release them on a "one in-one out" basis ?

Exactly, we find that towards the end of the day you could stay out for a very long time! It's usually the driver that gives up before the car. Best regards, Tony

Tony,

I've spoken to your dealership & am going as long as I get the car back from Harrogate in time (where's its having its service & a problem with the fuel tank fixed).

Also, mate of mine with a Griffith500 will also be attending (if I am).

Only done a couple of trackdays before, so, will there be any advice/instruction available ?

ps, my mate in the Griff is after a Tuscan 'S' so you might even be able to wangle yourself a deal on the day if you have one available to drive.

A fabulous day.

Count me in for the next one, whenever it may be.

Pity the Noble was sick, as was looking forward to blagging a passenger ride in it. Nevermind, maybe next time.

Thats to both harrogate & hexham guys for sorting my car out. Brilliant job.

Out of interest, whats a decent lap time at croft ? Would be interested to know what kind of times the guy in the other Noble was doing.
