I would properly love to but that's when my wife is due!
Was a great night last year so good on you for organising it. I'll put the link onto the fb page too

From 197:

"After the success of Mikes knockill open pit late i thought id try my hand at getting one going this year.

i was thinking we can have it around the same time as last so June/July time, it would be a friday evening ( be there for about the 5 then have the safety breif then out on the track from 6 till 8, this is based on last year so may be subject to change once i get more details from knockhill)


ideally id like 30 people to go, just to keep the track relatively easy paced for every one but the more the merrier, also 30 people worked well last year


once i get a list of available dates ill post them up and we can all decide witch day works best/most people can attend. i should have these this week some time so as soon as i have them ill post them up


also once we get some more people involved we can see if you would prefer the track to be the normal rotation or in reverse.


PLEASE PUT YOUR NAME DOWN IF YOU WANT COME ALSO SEND ME A PM IF YOU WANT MORE INFO ILL TRY AND HELP BEST I CAN




this is part of the email received from knockhill today just to give you all some information.
We would require a 25% deposit to secure the night and the balance 14 days before.
You can have a maximum of 50 cars on track for an open session."

Provisional date of the 9th of June

I was on track for Mike's one. There was 30 cars but the track was totally empty!! I'd go for 40 cars. The more drivers/cars, the cheaper it is.

 

[.GAZ.]

Also, this needs to be in REVERSE DIRECTION!!

 

[Fraser.J.]

I'm in that big whatsapp chat, put my name down Fraser Jamieson and put down Stuart Robertson too

 

[LiamR172]

[rctempire]

i thought 30 was quiet good like you say it was quiet best of both worlds for all levels of drivers. No one holding up the faster guys and for the inexperienced they don't feel pressured and in the way. That said of it goes over 30 cars im not that fussed like you say it'll be cheaper

Also, this needs to be in REVERSE DIRECTION!!

Ill put it the masses once I get home

I'm in that big whatsapp chat, put my name down Fraser Jamieson and put down Stuart Robertson too

Backing out is fine but any money that is payed in will be nonrefundable. I'll have more details from knockhill about payment soon tho

 

[Djw John]

Aye a vote for direction from people who have paid makes sense

 

[N0ddie]

30 folk equates to £72 each. Thats not bad.

 

[melvin1993]

I'll go stick up a vote

[.GAZ.]

Fraser.J Add me to the whatsapp, mate.

 

[rctempire]

Normal direction with 6 people on 197.net right now.

 

[.GAZ.]

Normal is shite!!

 

[Fraser.J.]

Reverse is shite! Duffus up hill isny as fun!

 

[melvin1993]

thats 10 for normal direction now

 

[Bob0907]

Im keen for this. Clio's only? Or is the 106 allowed along?!

 

[.GAZ.]

Reverse is s**te! Duffus up hill isny as fun!

You're no trying hard enough IIRC.

 

[.GAZ.]

Anything goes, matey.

 

[Bob0907]

Anything goes, matey.

Well hopefully the thing will be running by then! Been long enough haha

 

[Fraser.J.]

You're no trying hard enough IIRC.

Calm doon you. Had to take evasive action last time so I didn't rear end ya!

 

[M26]

Could be interested in this, as well as my mate with a Mini JCW.

Would just need date and price.

HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA!!!!!!

 

[Djw John]

Reverse is s**te! Duffus up hill isny as fun!

This times a billion. Real drivers prefer normal iirc

 

[Fraser.J.]

Nicest thing you've ever said about me <3

 

[MG cup]

Is car lube and the top of Duffus nae good in reverse. The car slides a lot at Duffus from the videos I have seen. I'm impartial for the vote tbh.

 

[Djw John]

Nicest thing you've ever said about me <3

I know but I felt it had been a few years since I complimented you for anything

 

[Fraser.J.]

Carlube Is hell, makes the car so unsteady breaking rounds the corner!!

 

[N0ddie]

Carlube in reverse is a pain for the reasons Fraser has said. Though I really like going up Duffus whilst trying to take as much speed through it as possible.

Though the Carlube in reverse issues sway my vote to normal way round.

 

[N0ddie]

Anyone know keen photographers that we can invite up for the evening?

 

[MG cup]

I would probably like it for that reasons then and hammering through the chicane and down the dip, haha!! As said though I'm not bothered which way.

 

[Fraser.J.]

Chicane in reverse is brilliant, but I don't think it sways my vote from normal. @w33brl might try and get off work early to come take pics.

 

[LiamR172]

If that bearded c**t is there again, someone jar him about last year!

 

[.GAZ.]

Reverse is epic! You're all just shitebags!

 

[w33 brl]

Yeah I might just fire a holiday in and fire up with the camera dying for the track days to start again

 

[Djw John]

Chicane is good in reverse but better normal. I'd say normal is a ballsier track too.
Anyway I ain't voting, just saw the confirmed date, yeah that's the day before lornas due date, not a f**king chance will I be there!
