I am. :thumbsup

Not sure whether I am taking the Elise or the Fury - depends on weather.

£100 for 4 hours in the winter? WTF :shock:

I am working together with Paul Golding, LOT, to set up a Croft/KH weekend at the moment. He has not been able to consider KH before because of the prices quoted to him, but I have used my charm with Stuart and Gemma and it looks as if it is now a goer.

Date to be confirmed, but August is looking favourite at the moment, both open pit, full days, and we should be able to do the KH side for around £117 and Croft at £130.

There will probably be a day between the two track events with Croft being the first, so that could be combined with turning into a good road run as opposed to a straight A-B.

I will start a new thread when it gets closer to finalisation, and as it could well be just a one off for many of you with LOT, I should be able to get you exempted from the £30 sign up fee.

Do you think it will be quiet?

Are HM days normally as quiet as SIDC days?

£117 sounds a good price for a full day at KH 8) I've only done one full day (+ 1 MMC event) at KH before but the day seemed to drag because it's our local track
Second that idea... stunning time to be had by all... :twisted:
Well it moves... might as well make the most of it....

This is the latest situation. I will now set up a new thread under Trackdays. Also as I am already set up for this sort of thing, it maybe a good idea to put up a Database under the tuttowers Yahoo group, most of you are members anyway, to get the ball rolling. There is no commitment at this stage, and booking will probably be through LOT, but it will give us an idea of local interest.

This way I can gauge interest from S_E, which will give Paul an idea of how many sign ups from LOT that he needs. Tis the middle of Summer, combined with one of KH's biggest weekends of the year, rock bottom prices, brilliant company, what more could a guy or lassie want?

I think they are taking having a bit of a laugh with the prices. I hear there are still a lot of places left. Im not surprised. At least it should be quiet

At that price I'm not pre-booking, but might make an appearance and hope for a space if the weather is good. :P

Seems like everyone is thinking the same. That £100 for a winter session is far too steep.

It might be worthwhile everyone dropping an email to them to see if they can be a bit more sensible about pricing.

It's advertised as £100 for pre-booking, £110 on the day...

Still can't decide if I want to do this one :scratch
