Castle Combe Action Day April 27th

[McGherkin]

You plank Dan.

I'm arranging the Cliosport stand, usually I apply for 30 spaces but if South East want to go as well I'll apply for more.

Also if you want track time it's cheaper booking as a group in advance.

You plank Dan.

I forgot about this post! oops.

Read thread dan.

So we can all get in on the stand?

Sod parking in the car park.

 

[DanEdser]

So is the plan to go up on the friday and get a hotel? as it opens at 8 and there is a massive queue, so would be wise to get there at half 7... Sod leaving my house at 5am...

 

[Bobby.]

I'd prefer to just leave early. Just go to bed early.

 

[DanEdser]

Just go to bed early.

this is impossible for me!

aha

suppose there would be no traffic at 5am...

did you wanna convoy up?

 

[Bobby.]

Lol.

Yeah I'm up for convoying, 5am isn't that early!

 

[DanEdser]

Lol.

Yeah I'm up for convoying, 5am isn't that early!

'tis early considering I've been going to bed at 5am and getting up at 1pm for the past 2 weeks!

even then I don't normally sleep for all of it

 

[Bobby.]

Keep going to bed later an later til you've gone full cycle.

thats a bad habit, do you not work?

Yes, everyone should be able to get on the stand as long as we're allocated enough spaces. In past I've applied for and got 30 spaces and area we get is quite generous anyway.

Queues aren't that bad it's not like Trax or FCS where you wait ages to get in.

South Central meet at Chieveley services M4 J13 at 6.30am then meet South West at 7.30am a few miles from the circuit, from there you're on the stand in 10 minutes.

 

[DanEdser]

Is anyone still coming? I've booked a Travelodge up at

Chippenham Leigh Delamere Eastbound on the friday night so I don't have to worry about getting up at silly o'clock etc.It's only £20 for the night, so would be silly not to TBH.

Anyone else wanna do that?

I'm convoying up with some others on the friday if anyone wants to join.​

 

[Clio_Scott92]

good to see all you south east guys coming to. looking forward to it. lets hope the weather holds out

 

[Bobby.]

Hhhmm I don't know if ill be attending now, the fact that the track time is £35 a time(instead of £20 what it usually is) and fcs show is now their I don't see much point in going. I might but ill decide closer to the time.

Flol, actually I didnt buy any track time for this one, but I bought one of the 350 quid premium pitches that come with 6 free passes you can use any time of day, so essentially I paid nearly 60 quid each for my passess, whoops!

 

[Clio_Scott92]

how does that work then chip???

I knew you would be along soon that's why I said it lol.

premium pitch? What's that?

 

[Chip-mk1]

They offer clubs 3 deals:
package 1 : free
package 2 : 350
package 3 : 750

the 2 and 3 get better pitches, 2 gets six anytime passes and 3 gets its own track session for 15 mins for just them and no one else.

I went for package 2.

 

[Bobby.]

Oh i see, What club are you going with?

 

[Chip-mk1]

Just a little club that a few of us run purely to organise trackdays etc from:
http://clubopd.com

Its tiny compared to CS.

Really good bunch of lads though, feel free to sign up if you want

Always more fun doing trackdays in a group and useful to have helping hands and tools available if something goes wrong etc!

I think our crowning glory so far is changing a clutch at santa pod in the camping field, by dropping the engine and box down and then all lifting the car up off it! Then the guys who owned it changed the clutch on the floor, and we lifted the car back over it and jacked the engine back into place, lol

 

[Bobby.]

Oh I see that will explain the stickers on the rear bumpers of your fleet then

Yeah I totally agree much more fun doing track days with your mates, especially when your all driving French tin cans!

 

[Chip-mk1]

Opd isn't make specific, but is mainly clios at the moment it seems. Lol. Epic little cars

 

[TimR26]

Add your name to the list if you'd like to be on the Cliosport stand.

[DanEdser]

Is anyone wanting to convoy from T wells with us?

 

[Tim.]

South Central usually meet at Chieveley Services on the M4, but it's early. What time are you boys leaving Wells?
