Same here.. It'd cost me £50 in fuel to get there and back, so it would have to be a pretty cheap entry fee. |

That is true, its quite a boring track though.
Here is my trackday vid of it (using very very worn shocks): http://www.cloverleaf4.co.uk/downloa...ne_2007_Q4.mov
Nothing like my local that is Brands |

Re: Alfaowner Track Days
Bedford Autodrome would be an interesting venue so long as my quad exhaust does not break the noise limits
Don't forget there is already the B & W Track Day on October 26th at Donnington with the Alfa Romeo championship the day before! Add to that the AROC live day in August and it may then affect numbers able to attend especially if all events are towards the end of the year!

Get yourself a £100 banger with a couple of weeks MOT and rent left, for the sole purpose of tracking it. If you blow it up so what? You could still get £40 for it scrap.
If it doesn't blow up sell it after and get your money back. |

You don't find many £100 bangers these days, my local scrappy are will weigh your car in at £160 a tonne! |

Thank feck for that! No nasty diesel spills / smoke screens to worry about  |

Re: Alfaowner Track Days
I'd love to do this. Ideally it would have to be a weekend date though. Been planning a trackday for a while now, need to get a move on and fit the stainless brakelines first!

I'd be up for it
