Hello all,

Abingdon are holding an open-pit track day on 2nd December, currently £129.00 for the day on track (open-pit), £10 per passenger (for the day) and £20 per additional driver (for the day). There is a 100dB static limit and it is a non--competitive event - anyone caught timing themselves could be thrown out. As with all track days, helmet and gloves a must for all, etc etc.

I have been told they may offer a discount on a group or number of vehicles who would attend, so is anyone interested? Might be good to have a little SIDC gathering there, good burger van I've been told! PM me or thoughts on here please.

That's absolutely right, lots of run-off areas because of the vast space available.

Quite tempted if I can get the time off. Don't suppose they do discounts for half days as a morning off would be easier to swing? Suppose I could always "work from home" that day and answer emails via 3G OK on the base :whistle:

Sounds like a plan to me, was planning a similar thing...... No half day options at present unless we can get a few people through the club who want the same thing.

Spectators - there's no spectator areas apparently, but if in support of someone paying on the track you can watch from pit wall etc apparently.
