You can put me down if the option is there to cancel, i'm never sure if i'm coming or going but if i'm home i'll be down in something.

 

[Djw John]

I think knockhills cancellation policy is 3 days notice or something like that. Everyone will book their tickets themselves to keep it nice and simple!

 

[LiamR172]

Why dont we hire the track for a day? Plenty people so it shouldnt cost that much and we would have the track to ourselves?

 

[Fraser.J.]

Ill be there

Liam, be-tappd looked into hiring the track, worked out about 150 a head I think with a minimum number of 35 I think. Don't quote me on that but it wasn't cheap and the numbers were high.

It's a great idea but everyone would have to pay in advance to book the track and you saw what it was getting £45 out if people for the last go-karting!!

 

[Adam.]

Aye to hire the track is around the 5k mark iirc so you either need a ton of folk or a few high rollers.

I might pop up for this

 

[LiamR172]

Ahright.. didnt realise it was THAT much!

Depending on how the car/money is going in april i might pop down if anyone else will come from up here!

Maybe
1. Liam

 

[neil a]

I will be up for this if im not offshore, did my first knockhill of the year yesterday.

 

[MG cup]

Yeah thought that John, put me down on the CS list.

How was the car performing Neil? Any lap times, obviously you weren't racing


TrackScotland hired the track for a full day and ended up about a £1000 out of pocket with cancelations, it kinda has to be pay up front and no refunds sort of deal to make it safe for the person booking.

 

[w33 brl]

Would go a take some photos but got to keep my holidays for the summer :-( Adam are you wanting this cage still?

 

[arg_carra]

Will most likely pop up for a spectate

 

[neil a]

The car was faultless for the full day we did 5 sessions of about 20/25 min each.
I didnt time any laps but my mate in his 106 was doing 1min7 and we were evenly matched around the track.

 

[Gaz85]

I won't make it :dapprove: In Kelso at a wedding on the Saturday staying over bad times

 

[Djw John]

Your name is already on the list so you're committed now Gaz

 

[M26]

Will more than likely be there to spectate

 

[Gaz85]

Not so bad then, 106's are capable little things with their little 1.6 engines.

 

[Djw John]

[MG cup]

[Djw John]

Free tuition as well

 

[MG cup]

Booked on, good for the price with tuition.

 

[HickiN]

I usually go to the SIDC days with a few guys from the lotus forums, always good! find at the open hot hatch days there are too many chavs with their toys and just go mental / crash!

SIDC days seem to be a lot calmer - Been to a few of them.. 2 of which i drove and others i just spectated.. Should be there on 30th providing work refund my dental treatment this week!!

Get a list for that..

 

[Fraser.J.]

I can't wait!! 20 days and counting!!

Can you tell I enjoyed knockhill earlier?

 

[Djw John]

Getting close. Worryingly close for those of us that have stuff to do to their cars still....
