Merrick Linnett Posted July 2, 2014 Share Posted July 2, 2014 Hi Stu, Good Idea I'll try and put something in Low Flying. Merrick Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Merrick Linnett Posted July 9, 2014 Share Posted July 9, 2014 I have spoken to MSV. They can offer a 20 mins session on one of their own Trackdays. In Late October. We need a minimum of 35 cars at £135.00 to make it work. If my maths are correct What do you think 🤔 🤔 Merrick Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Delbert Posted July 9, 2014 Share Posted July 9, 2014 Would 35 sevens on Oulton in one 20 minute session not be rather crowded ? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nicmac Posted July 9, 2014 Share Posted July 9, 2014 £135 sounds good to me Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TomB Posted July 9, 2014 Share Posted July 9, 2014 35 cars in one session? How many are there normally on a club day with red, green and blue sessions? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest Posted July 10, 2014 Share Posted July 10, 2014 Just to clarify is it a single 20 minute session? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mankee Posted July 10, 2014 Share Posted July 10, 2014 With MSV, it'll be a 20-min session per hour and 7 sessions over the course of the day. Without urinating on anyone's starchy potato snacks, there is an open-pit mid-week October day currently at £149 for which an L7C group booking could possibly be organised if there aren't enough takers for a dedicated club session to make it financially viable. Even I'm tempted to make the trek up! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Even I'm tempted to make the trek up! We are looking at the 19th Aug with Javelin. Full noise and Open Pit and only £199. Again not wishing to upset the apple cart but several other car clubs have collaborated with TDO`s to offer a better than regular punter rate. Merrick ?? I regularly block book spaces to enable a discount. Most offer 10% for 5 spaces and over 🤔 20 mins per hours sound good in theory but if anyone has an off or you have a problem then you lose that session and therefore a long wait till the next one. You cant even do a couple of laps and then come in to check tyre pressures etc as you will be out of time. There is also the overlap after the session which adds up during the day whilst you wait for the track to clear of the previous group. Open Pit is the way forward Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Posted July 10, 2014 Share Posted July 10, 2014 The cost for the last two years at Oulton was £159 so £135 sounds great! I'll definitely book a place if it's on. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Leadership Team SLR No.77 Posted July 10, 2014 Leadership Team Share Posted July 10, 2014 I've found that although I like the open pit lane format I actually do more track miles when it is 7 x 20 minute sessions! And £135 is a massive difference to £199, for many the difference is the cost of overnight accommodation. Stu. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nev Posted July 10, 2014 Share Posted July 10, 2014 I'm still interested , £135 sounds good to me. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You do more miles in 2 hrs 20 minutes as a posed to 7 hrs I get its cheaper doing sessions but its far less time and if you have travelled the length of the country to get there I personally want the most track time possible. Horses for courses an all that. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Posted July 10, 2014 Share Posted July 10, 2014 Still interested, any more information on the date? Need to get in early to arrange time off. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mav Posted July 11, 2014 Share Posted July 11, 2014 I'm interested. BAT also have an early booking discount on their oulton dates - £199 for open pit... £135 for a 20 min session sounds good. Club used to run 30 - 35 cars per session when they were doing Oulton. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

nicmac Posted September 4, 2014 Share Posted September 4, 2014 Looks like the club track day has died a death? I was looking at alternatives for myself and a couple of LADS found a Javelin day on 4th Nov here anyone else interested? not sure what numbers would be like also we would be in the mix with all and sundry (which I have not done before) Edited by - Nicmac on 4 Sep 2014 12:45:02 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Leadership Team SLR No.77 Posted September 4, 2014 Leadership Team Share Posted September 4, 2014 Very tempting and a sensible price particularly if planning a second driver. Sunset will be around 4.30pm. Stu. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
