Hacking round a brillint circuit with mates - Priceless
Iev edited it to make it more appealing to people that might not know about track days
True, True...
Basically, you will not have as much fun in your car on the road, both legal and non legal, as you will do on a track day. Fact...

I have been down to Lee's and from memory we left about 5 in the morning and on the way down Adam only drove for an hour! Cheeky fucker.
If it's a weekday I'll probably have to take two days off work then....
Make it a Friday...so then at least the people travelling far can stay the weekend too!

From Adams photo exploits, our boring towns arn't as livley down this way....
Although Dartford has got the most amount of pubs on 1 street in the UK, but admittidly, you only really want to vist 2-3 of them . Our area sucks, but its only 40 min into the city by train for an evenings bangin head pumpkin partying.
Most of the local track days are during the week though as I think it costs a lot more during the weekend (guess it depends if the circuit has anything on).

Monday would be ideal for the people driving further at least we can make our way up on the weekend and stay over. If its mid week it means probably taking a couple of days off work.

This is a very good price.
The sessioned trackdays are normally 30 minutes on, 30 minutes off
If someone has an off, needs to be towed in etc then the red flag will go out
the minimum time (after the recovery truck, safety car are clear) is normally about 5 minutes, so your loosing your own track time there!
The better option is open pitlane, costs more but you generally get a better driving standard (due to it not being like a 30 min race) and less red flags, which means more driving time.
I would also like to add that I can offer instruction, or supply a ARDS instructor for the day so people can pick up on a few tips.
I could also arrange a flat patch for those of you with coilovers that want the car setup, corner weights and cambers, toe etc if theres interest?
