I'll probably give that a go Andy.

A few mates have done bike days there and liked it, not too far to go either.
I just need to check a few dates first before I can commit.

Cheers,

Kenny

I'm up for that. One of the busiest times of the year for me but some planning now should allow me a day off.

The Spaz event sounds fantastic however, whilst I have done KH over a dozen times I think I really need to experience a few other tracks before committing to a Euro jaunt. Croft sounds like a good place to start gaining more experience given its location and very different style, plus being early in the season next year.
I expect my LoT membership has expired - I was only a member for the year to do their day at KH 4 or 5 years ago so I'll get that sorted first then book this. :thumbsup

Andy, I am up for this as never been. Do you plan on staying down?

Premier Inn Darlington which is 7 miles away is currently £30.

Hadnt thought mate - just figured I might as well get the ball rolling in my personal mission to personally sell and promote LOT activities next year :damnfunny

Really fancied it tbt, and i havent been either, which makes a change :D

2 hours from the house I think so given the time of year perhaps better to make it an overnight trip than dawn raid?

I am sure i will be booking..... Not been to Croft in a very long time.

Infact, the last time i was there, a very tall, whiskey loving chap threw up after a few passenger laps in the 160 :thumbsup

Croft is bumpy but great fun :mrgreen:

I will go if I can.

Its a few years since I was last there along with a few fellow Exige owners, seem to remember we all had a great time. Anyone that goes should have great fun.
