Too many Stig-wannabes and people on the track who were clueless or just wanted to twat about.

jess am not trying to have a dig at u, but u say ur car handles well, thats prob round the circuit in town, which i guess is slightly different to the track, id deffo go up the quater mile tho, no one will really care what time u get, its ur car and u are the one who can keep trtying to get faster times

not just the circuit, she just handles well everywhere really. I'll deffo do the strip but i've got a bit of time to consider the track, I just view things as you only live once!!

here's my vid from last year. should give you a bit of an idea of what's involved. it gets interesting around 11min 20secs. you may have to make the window small to get rid of the pixelation cos i uploaded the wrong version

If I sort tickets out for the sat (Dec to young at the mo to camp at this sort of thing!lol) could you book us track time and get pass so i can park up with you lot? Pleeeeese!

Foooooooook it i'll do it lol might aswell...

Yes boothy No Problem
Saz - more than welcome

Jess - if you are 100% serious about going on the track then its worth thinking about stuff

The strip is 1 1/4 straight, no one overtaking you, no one sneaking up the inside no one overcooking it in front of you ect

The track although your KA handles well you will be round with 30+ other cars for 15 mins or so it aint easier than the strip

So before i have to book it, get some advice, remember your NOT insured on the track unless you take it out and bump into a passing skyline and you will have a big big bill!

People like matty, tom, teddy ect have been on the track so listen to there experiance

I havent been on yet so im sure gonna be talking to matty and getting some advice before i go on.

Also remember the effects on your car, track surface is hard and rips up tyres, bodywork catching wheels on the track is a problem, brakes need to be up to scratch and your car needs to be able to take 15 mins solid abuse.

Let me know though

wooo cant wait for this get me on it lol

it was my first time on the track last year, and it felt like i needed to see 360 degrees, with all the skylines and supra's passing, its nerve racking at first, but very enjoyable, just don't go flat out on the first couple of laps, get a feel of it, like ollie said, the car handles different on a race track the your your normal road!!

Yeah I will do, when do I have to let you know by thou and how much is it??

As for tyres and brakes, all of them have just been replaced and are brand spanking. Abuse wise it should be fine, overheating can sometimes be a bit of a problem but I have a water gauge that I assume was fitted because of the Turbo, however I'm hoping to have a different bonnet by that time with vents in to help cool it down abit, if not it had it's fair share of abuse when it was turbo'd and now it isn't so hopefully it'll be fine.

Any advice tho purleez????

Also, can you get insurance on the track tho? If so, any ideas on how roughly how much it is?

I best get that driver's side mirror fixed then before I go lol

No problem, not trying to put you off im pleased people are wanting to get involved just trying to help you make an educated decision

But as said pointless asking me as im as much of a novice as you are (Only difference is Shit all is coming past me / and/or i will be in the gravel by turn 4 lap 1 )

Im sure tom, Teddy, Matty, Boothy will all give you pointers and ideas so maybe a pm is in order

Its things like your mirrors that are crucial! you need to see around you im guessing 100% of the time

Insurance is available not sure on cost ect maybe alanman MIGHT know a rough idea, being an insurance dude.

I might well start a track session thread so those who have had the experiance can help us all out! like do's and donts!

And maybe Lee can do one for the 1/4 mile and those on here who have ran can add experiances ect

mirrors well i got them not very big and cant see fuck all behind you

yeah but they look mint lol

That's a good idea ^^^

I'll be sorting either some better glass or a complete new set of mirrors out on next pay day I think anyways 'cos that's all that's left to fix on her for now I think *touch wood* I may also have a bit of a surprise for Donny and maybe even for the pod if i'm lucky but we'll have to wait and see

Thanks for all ya help though!!
