You can now that I've corrected a couple of spelling errors :roll:

Can I ask why you want it?
Could use it on the revamped website?

Excellent info Gerry, its like your Dad :wink:

All that is missing is "and remember to stay out there kids" :wink:

Also, you forgot to remember to mention that its worth turning up nice and early to either walk the course or cycle round it, a few of the chaps take bikes. As seeing the course first hand is very handy I feel before you attack it in anger and at speed, as you only get 4 runs on the day.

Some events do a convoy run at the start of the day when you follow a marshalls car around at slow speed to allow you to sort out where you are going, but this isn't that common due to time constraints on the day :!:

Bloody kids :x

It wasn't intended for the likes of you Logan. It was painstakingly done to help and encourage those (like we once were) who want to get into some form of motor sport but haven't a clue how to and whilst doing so, following the ethos of Big Power to promote the safe use of our cars. It's the first rung of the ladder but has the biggest step :)

The fact that you have raised some very useful points is what I was hoping would happen. As you know, when you're familiar with something it's all too easy to overlook a detail or two. It wasn't meant as a definitive instruction, just a guide.

Maybe you could edit any useful posts and cut them together at the top Dunk?

My plan was to spend the next couple of months sorting the car, as I haven't touched it since the clutch went and then do the B19 shakedown sprint in early March. Hadn't thought about a track day. I'll see if I can get it ready sooner and let you know.

PS. We've done the usual and gone completely off topic :roll: :D

Fabulous beginners crib sheet there. Thanks Gerry (and Logan ;) )

Really looking forwards to the events next year and threads like this make the wait all the more difficult :D
