do we need tape for the headlights? and towing point stickers etc?

No, nothing like that. So long as your car is capable of passing an MOT, it's fine. If you have a removable tow eye, screw it in before you go out, but that's about it really.

sweet sounds like me and the car are all good to go then, small track day on a local sprint track this thursday but i can't see any issues arising 

 

Is anyone staying in or around Blyton on the Friday or Saturday night? 

 

Myself and Steven will be staying a few miles from the track, be good to go for a pint :P

We stayed at the Black Horse Blyton last year and the pub food was good, don't mind going a bit further. Theres probably a few options in Gainsborough.

Im allways worried somethings gonna brake and dont wanna ruin the day ?

I'll be taking a heap of spares, cables, bolts etc. 

 

Had as a few things come loose last year so I'll be havin a check over after every go.

 

Hopefully I'll get more than 10 minutes out of my brakes this time...

Think i should put fresh fluid in come to think of it.

Unfortunately @daz_derby has had to pull out. But this means there is a space available if anyone wants it last minute.

 

If anyone is interested please PM me and have payment ready.

Indemnity 2014.pdf

My fuel gauge is useless, tenner puts it on half a tank, I'll just bring a can to get me to the petrol station if I fall short.

 

My hat is comical, birds vespa thing, but it's comfy.

 

I'm gonna wing it on reliability. I'll bring the spare wheel, that's about it. It's eaten all my spare belts already.. Scunthorpe isn't far if something explodes.

Brilliant day, shame more couldn't attend weather was great and a really chilled out atmosphere.

 

Agreed^ great day and seemed a good place for my first trackday. Thanks to the guys that made it all happen, much appreciated. :) 

Excellent! Big thanks to all who made it happen!

 

My first trackday too, and this is a great track for it, recommend it to anyone. Speed/type of cars varied greatly and it still all worked well.

 

I managed to keep off the grass (and not roll it), and had great fun. Roll-on next year!

 

I didn't practice recording any driving footage, and on the day i failed to get any. I also failed to take photos of others (i think a few of us learnt a few things, gonna have to write them down!) So it'll be great to see any photos taken by anyone else.

Haven't got many that came out that decent, need a proper lense...

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Great photos!

Some good pictures there! Nice to see Ross and Mikey getting the rear wheel up! 

I'll get my videos sorted out tomorrow. 

Photos look great

Haha, launch it! 

 

Nice pictures, gonna have to steal those - I didn't get to run with many Polos, we should do a group start next time.. i didn't aim high enough though because many other cars were slower than they were capable of. Apart from a couple of MGs I think we were amongst the quickest..
