Just stumbled on this.

Bruntingthorpe, this is what Briskoda was all about. Meeting people and having a laugh. If only there could be another one. How about it, all we need is 70 cars.

Twas indeed good fun - that surface is awful though :(

I know, I know, bloody stones. I would still go if we got the numbers.

I'd certainly go again, though I wouldn't be able to come in a Skoda as I don't possess one any more.

I remember that day, was a good laugh. I'd be up for it again

Yep, Id be up for it.

I'd be up for coming along again, but wont be taking my car on the track.

Last time was excellent, the weather was gorgeous, apart from the sunburn the next day

Last time was excellent, the weather was gorgeous, in fact, it was nearly as gorgeous as I looked with my handbag[/b']

I think there are some photos somewhere

Like I mentioned in Colin's thread I thought it was excellent along with the handling day and then Trax's.

But what happened to the interest from people :confused:

We even had people like Awesome, JBS and Jabba tuning up as well as a Skoda dealer

Just remembered I still have some pics http://www.jonesj.pwp.blueyonder.co.uk/Bruntingthorpe%20Briskoda%20National%20Meet%2004/index.html

I'd definitely be up for it again - was brilliant in that:

a) was a track day for all - including nervous novices;

not intimidating - i.e. not lots of caterfields etc on track;

c) open for all to come along even if you didn't want to go on track; and

d) everyone was social with no "look at me" attitude.

Excellent

You're going to come twice?

How about another handling day - I missed the last one, I think lots of people would get a lot out of it.

10) ncarring - late as usual

Given what the surface it like, would it be worth investing in a car bra? Or would a tarpaulin shut in the bonnet work just as well ?

I've not had any stone chips - just wears LOTS of rubber off your tyres and if you're running semi-slicks, embeds hundreds of little stones in them.

So budgeting for a complete set of tyres and pads is a good idea then :eek: ?

Call it half a set of tyres - pads, no, should be fine.
