Its hard to say tbh.

if i wasnt on track i wouldnt go personally, but if your at a loose end, should be a bit of a laugh and some rare cars up there.

Certainly wouldnt plan to make a day of it - but come and say hi anyway :thumbsup

Me too. I wouldn't be there unless I wasn't displaying/tracking the SV. Not very keen to track the SV as the paint could be damaged :oops: Don't think the suspension and brakes are good enough for tracking either.

I don't know driving in another way which isn't risky. Each one has to improve himself. Each driver has its limit. My limit is a little bit further than other's.

I've read KH's webpage advertising it... but always good to hear from horses' mouths :thumbsup
Only worth going if the weather is good I think. I'm only going so I can walk about in the sun eating ice cream, get a tan, oh and see some nice cars 8) :lol: Looking forward to seeing the SE supercar owners on track. :thumbsup

But if it looks like it's going to rain will give it a miss.

On a nice sunny day its probably a good afternoons entertainment.
But, at £15 / ticket is really needs to be a sunny day :blackeye

agree with shoomer. You'll end up paying a tenner to speak to your mates. You could just do that for free in the pub. :lol:

It is very much more orientated towards the public, as opposed to the average S_E member.

I think most of us enjoyed the Classic Speedfair weekend that I organised last year that had many of the same events, but we had a track day on Friday, our own display area on Sunday, and also a proper track session as well. Plus I either got us in for free, or half price at £4 per car.

A good chance though for Andy, Mass and maybe Jim to show their Supercars and get them on track in a pretty safe environment where nobody will chance damaging their valuable cars.

Totally agree,

I tend to use events like this to meet up with my dad that I maybe see once a month or so. The event then gives us a chance to catch up and gives us more to talk about. Not really an event i'd go to on my own for this reason!

I would have liked to come along to this with the kids, but believe we are doing social calls on various friends and family all weekend so a Pass is out of the question :-(

I think E and J would have really appreciated it, and £15 well spent to give Lisa some time off frankly!!!
