Area 52 Trackday - CANCELLED

[Mystery Machine]

More details to follow but I have provisionally booked the track at Haynes Motor Museum for Oct 2nd 2010.

The date isn't set in stone but I figured Haynes would be a good place to hold the first A52 Trackday. Haynes themselves seem very keen to have us along.

I will be limiting spaces to 30 cars on the track. This should allow a lot of track time throughout the day.

Even if you don't want to put your car on the track, you are still welcome to come along and join in the social side. This is Area 52 afterall and the social side & the people are paramount. Picnic, BBQ, chat, banter etc....what's not to like. Plus lots of opportunities to see the A52 regulars throwing their cars around the track.

Price will be approx/max £50 per car and certainly no more (for track) and free for everyone else joining in. £50 is very cheap for a track day and you'll get a lot of fun for your money. A LOT of fun!!

As things get sorted I'd like to try and sort some camping so that some of us can stay over on Friday night ready for a good start on the Saturday morning. Possibly camping Sat night too. Watch this space.

It's going to be brilliant and certainly something different for Area 52.

If interested, please add your name here and if you'd like to be on track or for the social. Area 52 people get priority on track places but if there are any spare, then anyone else is more than welcome to join in. It's all about having fun after all.

Just to add to the info above, the day will be run as a time attack style event but with something more like 5 x laps per car rolling on a quick fire rotation so you should get quite a few goes throughout the day. It won't take much to run and shoud be a laugh.

As said above, more details to come.

Bruce - I didn't add in the text that I'm happy to help 'marshall' if thats needed?
I do have a valid emergency first aid certificate (god forbid it being needed!!!).

Will be fine looking at 20bhp increase giving a total of 56bhp which is not far off the water cooled ones that use the same belts.

p.s. a VW will be harmed in the process ;D ;D

[Mystery Machine]

Nice one Chris. ;D

That now makes 19 reserved for track only leaving 11 places to fill.

I hope to be heading over to Haynes tomorrow (if I can get hold of the events guy today) and will try and work through the masses of paperwork/risk assessments etc....

Once we get a stage nearer I'll be having to ask for some money because I am pretty sure this needs to be paid in advance....money which I cannot afford to spend out on myself.

More details to come.

[Mystery Machine]

Meeting the events co-ordinator tomorrow at 11am. Paperwork will be discussed and gone through to make sure I get everything done correctly and I can go through my plans of how the day will run.

Why am I excited about this?? I have no idea....but I am excited!

Will keep updating as things progress. Sorry if this sounds boring but it's the first time I've ever organised a track event. I want it to be great ;D
