there will be a place opening very shortly ( in january time) just up the road from me he is going to charge £30 for 3 runs or something. he's just finishing everything off. i'll talk to him in the week and see what he says about when he's opening.

Interesting idea Steve, but I think we will struggle to get a group rolling road for around 6 cars to be honest.
But Gez, ask away mate, and we'll see what the result is

Think the place GEZ mentioning is Swansea way, not 100% though. Should be good though!
And for the record aswell, may aswell not restrict it to just corsa's so if got a mate who has a diff car invite them! May aswell i suppose!
I'll start the list of deffinate people:-
1) Swill_omnibus
2) Gez c16b
3)

Guys, lets not get too far ahead of ourselves here please
If we are going to make this sort of official from a Corsasport point of view, then we need some more information to work with.
Of course, having cars other than Corsa's to increase our numbers isn't a problem, but Gez, can you find out a few more bits of information first?
Things like how many people your mate wants to do the session, what prices he will charge for a group depending on the numbers too for example.
For example, will it be cheaper the more that turn up? Such as less than 10 people, £40 each, 10-20 is £35, 20-30 is £30 etc.
Also, what rollers does he use? Dyno Dynamics? Please u2u me when you find this out and I'll start an official thread for it
My reasoning for this is I don't want us to end up the way these things typically do - 20 people saying they'll go and only 5 turn up. Also, 7 people have so far confirmed, but how many will still go if it turns out to be £60 per run?
Thanks guys
