how to book curborugh for the day?

[robmar]

who do i talk to and how much will it cost?

[Irrelevant]

It's about £300 I think.

Powder Puff hired it recently. Ask him if nobody else comes along with info.

[Powderpuff]

You need to talk to David Pattison - course secretary - 07976 878652 (I try to phone at lunch time so as not to disturb David at work)

 

It's £450 for the day from memory.

 

The name's Puff, Powder Puff

[robmar]

thanks will do

[DSL]

Itchin to try it out now its nearly ready then

 

Rob I would take it out on the road a good few times in the dry 😬 to get used to the gear change, light clutch, revs etc, not to mention the power difference 😳

 

Bear in mind that when it breaks tyre traction, due to the free reving nature of the motor it will spin up very quickly from there on, with big sideways consequences unless pointed more or less in a straight line at that time

 

Enjoy

[robmar]

DSL - hence the desire to first try it somewhere with a lack of oncoming traffic first 😬

 

you interested in coming along showing me how it all works, bring one or several of your cars 🤔

[A10ROX]

Hi Rob

If you're thinking of a weekend and need anyone to make the numbers up I could be interested

 

... fitting Nitrons and wouldn't mind finding the 'right' set up

[robmar]

Mr Rox - sure will let you know what i get sorted

[apjenkins]

Could be interested in joining you if it is in the new year?

Rob,

 

It cost us £410 for a weekday when we hired it in May or June (Tues/Wed/Thurs only) for upto 10 cars to go on. Or for a Saturday when its a testday I think and around 35-40 cars can attend its closer to £600 with an MSA chappie who came along to test us for noise ☹️

 

Nick

 

The BEC has gone - now onto an R400!!

[Englishmaninwales]

As Nick says, avoid booking on a Saturday ☹️ Rob, Im always up for a days practice at Curb

 

Malcolm

[Dannyboy]

Same here Rob!! 😬

 

Will need to get used to stickier rubber methinks!

 

Dannyboy

 

[Don]

 

Depending on whether the engine's in the car at the time, another interested party here!!

 

 

 

[Mrs Kipper]

And me 😬

 

Kipper

 

Fun is not a straight line.

[robmar]

ok - those on here I have noted, plus a couple off line

 

not actually booked yet, but looking likely to be in December sometime

 

will let you all know

 

Rob

[robmar]

OK talked with David yesterday, process is nice and simple

 

was looking at 11th December, Will be run as 2 * 5 car sessions, one in the am and one in the PM. Due to the lack of light it was suggested 9-12 and 1-4 with 2 batches of cars. Cost will be £225 per session or for the mathematically challenged 45 quid each per session.

 

Unlimited drivers but just 5 cars

 

so far I have the following people interested

 

Adrian Williams

David Nelson

Darren Luke (possibly)

Mr A10ROX

Malcolm

Danny Boy

WindyCat- With Mr Windy?

Mr Kipper

Jeff Smith

 

Does the date work for everyone, and if so what is everyones preference (I suspect the Pm session).

 

Rob

And me please Rob

10 cars for the whole day at £450 is better value, rather than 5 per session. There is plenty of track time even with 10 cars.

 

Malcolm

[robmar]

Malcolm - that is just what Dave Patterson told me, I assumed it was always like that

 

Jeff Noted

[Adrian Williams]

Rob

 

Dates fine, agree with Malcolm that 10 cars for the day is a better than 2 lots of 5 cars per half day.

 

Adrian

[Englishmaninwales]

Rob

Ive done several of these days at Curb, and it has always been 10 cars for the whole day (unless they've suddenly changed the rules!)

Space for a 21?

 

Graham

Looking for a new vocation in life or is that a vacation

[Blokko]

I went to a session @ Curbs organised by Paul Forster and I seem to remember that you can’t kick off before 10.00am.

 

Space / work commitments permitting I would like to come along to see if I could stay on the track this time

Hi Rob

UPDATE ☹️

 

I've got to be only a possible at the moment

... the Nitrons have yet to arrive ☹️

... I'll chase DT and then Mr MAcFarlane who will be fitting them

... Just been told delivery is w/c 19th December ☹️ ☹️

 

So on the current date I'm not going to be able to be there

 

Regards

David
