CADWELL PARK - November 11th Javelin

Andy G · Post by **Andy G** » Wed Aug 16, 2006 10:32 am

Has anyone tried Cadwell, and does anyone fancy an outing to try it?

Open pit lane, 8.15 sign on, track-time 9.20-1700, Saturday November 11th.

£129, but remember Javelin ae unlikely to refund you if something arises.

Cadwell's a blinder - you'll love it. Last one I went to was in winter too - had to leave the track an hour for the ice to clear!

Trying to take Coppice (I think) flat is the task of the day

I might be up for it..... $$$ dependant

LoT have a day at cadwell on the 30th of october. was 75 quid, just went upto £99. Its open pit lane aswell, but limited to only 40 cars on track, javelin will be alot more i'd imagine.

only problem possibly is that its a monday

Yeah, the monday thing would be an issue for me. Also, the Javelin is an almost reasonable (for them) £129

Absolutely blinding track and I'm going to try and get to one of the days... My front clam will probably start wincing though

129 for a weekend is good, but they might sell 80 spaces. i had a look on javelin website, and it doesnt say how many spaces, but they have an evening session there with 62 folk. Might be 80 plus for a full day session. worth looking into

Yup, absolutely true. Last one I did there was a LoT/bookatrack combo and, while quite busy, was blinding. Traffic may become an issue at Cadwell quite quickly though - if you lack confidence, there are parts of the track that can have spectacular speed differentials between the quick guys and the slow ones (esses & the mountain, for example)

Given the shabby treatment dished out by Javelin to folk on here - do we really want to be supporting?

That sounds better, Monday suits me OK. Travel down on the Sunday, one day off work and back up that night (been done before).

Agree with whats being said, but Monday's are a big "no no" for me as is the mOnth of October

i cant do the javelin day anyway as will be in New Zealand, so will look into the cadwell day nearer the time

Also remember that even if they do put up numbers on their website, that doesn't mean they won't go and sell another bunch of places to a car club.

never going on a Javelin trackday ever again.

booked the last one. couldnt get insurance (it was sold are circuit, so should have had MSA approval due to common sense but didnt so insurance company (Lotus Esteem) didnt back it) . tried to cancel - could cancel but no money back nor any credit.

....no credit? That's apalling! Have you taken it further with them? If they're not coughing up, send me a PM and we'll get them sorted
