It's been on the 'to do' list for a while!

A mans track Mike, my balls last time were not as big as they were 15 years ago.

Mind you I had 345hp as opposed to 175.

Sounds good to me, will tag along. Had hoped to do Spa this year but it wasn't to be..

[Andy G]

Just found another trackday at spa in the Sunday so could do a double header but it's 500 Euros!!!!

[Andy G]

Also was checking to see if Snett were doing anything on the Sunday but can't find any 2017 dates yet

[tut]

Not being pessimistic Andy, but long term bookings are not really on now.

Still planning on SIDC KH for next year and maybe Cadwell/Oulton, and Croft would be good as I have never driven it.

Spa booked

[Simon82]

just thinking, is there not a good chance spa will be covered in snow that time of year?

Andy, you taking the soft option and towing or you going to drive the trip?

The last time I was there in March, was a Cadwell then Spa. It was the year we had bad snow at easter, and 2 days before Cadwell, the roads were all closed around the area. It was strange driving the 211 , with 6 foot snow banks either side of the road . Cadwell is quite abrasive on tyres, so didn't have much tyre left after the day, and on the motorway to spa, about 30 miles from the track, we had a full on blizzard, no crash helmet on or anything. Think I was down to about 25 mph, car all over the place, fun ... When we turned off the motorway, the snow was rubbing the underside of the car.
the track was closed when we got there, but it was cleared by 1pm, and the track was running. They use salt on the track to clear it, it makes the surface a bit slippy, like driving on powder.

Was fine this March. Damp in the morning and dry line by afternoon.

Probably means it'll snow next march.
