I know, September's a long, long way off but.......

After the success of the two charity track days last year in support of Macmillan Cancer Relief (we raised over £4,500) I have the use of the Indie circuit at Bruntingthorpe on 3rd Sept 2005 (it's a Saturday).

The cost will be £50 for the day (to include bacon rolls, lunch, afternoon tea etc.).

The event is the Travis Perkins Driver of the Year competition and those of you who went last year will know it was a great day. Most of the other events that are happening on site will be open to you (driving artic. lorries, fire engines, 4x4 off roading, Go Carts, Skid Pan, Subaru simulator, etc.)

If you want to offer dream rides and help us raise more money....that would be great.

This is just a 'finger in the air' to see if there is any interest.

As always…....all the money that we raise will go to charity.

Thanks

I will talk to a few people and send a few emails to see if i can build up some interest, i know a few mates were very interested in this when i told them about it at christmas!

I would also like a bit of extra tuition on track just to polish my driving skills.

Thanks all

For those who didn't go last year, the day is really an 'off shot' of the Travis Perkins driver of the year event.

Cheap day, load of track time, lots of other stuff to have a go on, fantastic people and raising money for charity.

Down side is that we only have the indie circuit but the whole day (including food, drinks etc) is £50.

The numbers will be restricted (probably around 20 - 25 max) so that we can have open pits.

Sorry I'm fishing early but I've go so many events this summer I'm trying to get organised.

Put me down for a tentative yes. September is a long way off and it's quite possible the golf will be in pieces by then

September is a long way off, too far out for me to plan (I might not even be in the coutry!).

But I'm interested, nevertheless.

Put me down for a maybe, sounds good - missed the last one

Might be able to borrow the Cerb/ get dad to join too - if not, I'll bring the cupboard.

Quite happy to let anyone passenger, someone out there must want to get scared in a tiny car?? (its alright around brunters, will be better by that point )

Will have a word with my dad when im next back.

Yes, am interested.

I went to the same ASDA charity day as Glen, and it was interesting seeing the reactions of people when you set off at full bore like he said.

Is it an idea nearer the time to either cross post / link this thread within the TVR / Ferrari / Porsche / Viper / Noble, etc forums on here to gain max exposure?

Thanks


Martyn.

Hi Martyn

I will do as you suggest.

This post is really a 'finger in the air' to get an idea of numbers as I've got to prepare my budget for approval.

Look forward to scaring....whoops...seeing you there
