Cliff, are dc14 & co sorting their bookings out, do you know? IN fact - is dc14 coming along at all? I don't think any of them have been online recently.

If those three book in we need 2 more (1 more if Jason is coming along) to get the incentives sorted (free track tuition..!)

I text dc14 to ask him to give his brothers a shove and he said he'd give them some gentle persuasion to let us know either way - but as you say none on them have been on recently.

I defo don't think he'll be attending though as his gf is due a baby anytime soon and i think the money is spent better elsewhere - although he did mention that his Octy has gained a black vinyl roof, new front grill, and black gloss wing mirrors! :rolleyes::)

Haha! Thanks for the update mate :)

And I can chuck out Soot like no other.

  • Author

You two can soot away all yo like, once I wound my car up apparently it didn't chuck a single bit of soot out all around the lap, probably something to do with me being between 2500 and 4250rpm all the time - haha

Thats a good Rev range to keep a diesel motor in when on track. You have learning a lot Ed.

  • Author

Thanks - hopefully I can learn a lot more on this next day. Just got to remember to take it steady the first few times and not think I know everything just 'cause I've done the circuit before. I'll be running different tyres, the surface will be different, the ambient temps will be different... and I have got some different brake pads coming that shouldn't fade (:D)

Sorry guys but I've invited an Octavia along for some action, all brought and paid for! My wife as asked me to show her some excitement (!?!) so I've persuaded her to join in and break her track day virginity. Looking forward to joining in on the action....

Thanks a lot - did you say you were involved with us lot? :)

Damn, I really want to come for this now! :D

The question is whether Lee doesn't want me to come in case I curse his engine like at Mallory Park all those years ago! ;)

  • Author

It might even be the biggest number of fabias on a track day? Unless Briskoda ones were more popular int he past :D. You know you want to Jason ;)

Thanks a lot - did you say you were involved with us lot? :)

Yep, I'm down with the owners club, had to book today as wasn't sure on holiday arrangements for me and the my wife but don't think that makes a difference to the group booking...

Does this answer the question?! :rofl::thumbup:

Too late to worry about that now, besides with the lady doing a bit of driving [considers fitting a boost controller...], that will keep the engine calm and the oil where it should be.

Besides, the brakes don't like track action these days so I need to limit to no more than 5 or 6 laps at a time - that should save the engine from going bang again :D. Need some dysfunctional hair dryers with bits of piping on the ends and sit them next to the front wheels while in the paddock area....

I'm planning lots of laps at a time. :D

  • Author

Me too Jason, I was doing 15 - 20 laps at a time last time I think :)

Added latest list....

This WILL be FUN! Ed.

HAHA moreso than 12 minutes around a tricky and busy circuit with no clear rules about overtaking, you mean? I got over-excited then as well. :D Don't happen to know anyone who might help out filling the empty spaces do you? :D

I'll offer PAX laps to anyone else willing to commit to this. :thumbup: We need 3 more people to get those 20 minutes of instructor time. To be honest, I will probably just do 2 or 3 laps with the chap for ideas, and leave the proper tuition to someone who has (probably) never been on track before. :thumbup:
