Re: A Boys day out

Quick question HM, is this a trackday with off-track racing on the side or not?

Just asking as you seem to be more on the grass than tarmac at these events ...

Re: A Boys day out

I'll see what I can do, I'm definitely interested but I'm gonna be pretty poor if I take on the mortgage by myself, and Oulton is notoriously pricey for track days..... it's one of the most expensive tracks to do a track day on you can get.

Count me in, provisionally driving, otherwise scabbing rides off whoever I can

Re: A Boys day out

I'll do my best to attend, maybe even ride shotgun for you.



Best not take the black load luggin' diesel on track - one of us might end up embarrassed and I'd rather it not be me! :xmas:

Re: A Boys day out

HM, sounds interesting.
I had the experience of Oulton Park as part of the Cloverleaf track day in September and it was superb.
Let me know when you're planning it and I'll see what I can do, but ain't taking my bella out there!!!!

I meant to say, if I do drive, anyone would be more than welcome to jump in (just don't distract me with your screaming )

You can scab a ride with me any day mate and I promise to use more of the track this time I've been practicing and thinking about what you told me at Aintree

This was just a thread to see if the boys want some fun

Re: A Boys day out

Good lad

How old is Ben ?

They normally have an over 14's policy on track days.

Re: A Boys day out

Mrs van asked if she could come along but I told her only if she does not overtake anyone


She is well trained and could show you up (on track)
