** CANCELLED ** South East Track Day Sept 2012

Post by spud1979 »

** EVENT CANCELLED **

.......Sorry to anyone that had put their name but, due to insufficient numbers, this track day has now been cancelled.
Thanks for looking............


I just want to let everyone know that I am organising a track day for Sunday 2nd September.
The track will be closed to everyone else on the morning.
This event takes place at Kiltorcan raceway karting circuit just outside Thomastown.

http://www.kiltorcan.com/

I attended the one that Billy organised earlier in the year and loved it.
I hope this event will match the fun had by all at that event.

The cost will be €30 per car. only thing is this place has no kitchen so you may bring a packed lunch
Open to all signed up members and non-members will be able to sign up that morning if required.
I hope that you will have a chance for lots of laps.



I willl begin a list in about a month as there is a lot of interest.
This will suit both Southern and Eastern members.

PM me for further details

Thanks for looking

The reason its members only is (hopefully) to prevent some unknown lunatic showing up in an old banger and possably damaging someone elses car. Its not racing but sometimes cars get close and its nice to know whos on track with you and you can trust them not to do something stupid. I sure with a 2000 Cooper Oliver would appreciate this precaution.

As for the lunatics we do know just give them plenty of space :D

Very sorry to hear this, but once again fair play for sticking your neck out and trying to organise one of these events.

Thanks for trying spud.

I agree with Woody. Perhaps this will be the single track day the club runs in 2013. No reason why we shouldn't have a choice of venues around the country.

I doubt I'll be going back to this track after cancelling. Ah sure cork is not that far and half the fun was the drive down and back.

is the concrete a heat-sink or to keep the nose down under acceleration ?
