17/03/2012 12:32:07 Dave P OK, if it is worth coming from Southampton I have to see what it is all about! I will probably drive up Thursday evening; is there a recommended hotel nearby? Regards Dave P

18/03/2012 18:56:10 Martin C Hi Dave, I stayed at the Premier Inn on the outskirts of Darlington last year, address Morton Park Way, Morton Park, DL1 4PJ . It is about 20 minutes away from Croft and I will be staying there definately on Thursday this year, but not sure about Friday yet. Haven't booked yet as it is showing £65 at the moment.

19/03/2012 10:47:22 Col 180 (Metro)Matt and myself will book after Silverstone if there are still places, will be one car bettween us and share the driving on the day and getting there and back!

06/04/2012 21:52:55 maccy Do any of these days ever get 'reduced' in price or is it just what it is?

07/04/2012 05:19:26 Tim Guy Hi Maccy. Welcome to the forum. Unfortunately motor circuits are expensive places to hire for the day. MGs on Track is run by unpaid volunteers on a not for profit basis and we keep margins on our own days as tight as possible. There just isn't anything to discount. This particular day at Croft is a little different as it's run run by Lotus on Track who operate on a slightly different basis but they are certainly not getting rich either. LoT have invited MGoT members to book directly on their website and there's nothing in it for us other than offering the possibility of another track day to our members.

09/04/2012 19:48:29 maccy ok, cheers I was a member of LOT for a few years so I thought that would be the case, still may book, I'll check the funds nearer the time! I like croft and live about 5 miles away :)

22/06/2012 20:35:40 maccy right, im booked on this as well now ;) croft is my fav track and round the corner from me :) winner!

22/06/2012 21:14:19 Martin C [quote=maccy]right, im booked on this as well now ;) croft is my fav track and round the corner from me :) winner![/quote] Hi Andy, That is great - look forward to meeting you there.

26/06/2012 09:15:57 Martin C [B][SIZE=5][COLOR=red]Booking for this Event is now CLOSED.[/COLOR][/SIZE][/B] Updated list of attendees, 29/06/2012. Rooney Massara - MGB Roadster Harry Knowles - MG TF Dave Pearce - K-series Midget Trevor Leighton - MG F VVC Colin and Matt Wright - MG ZS 180 or MG F Supercharged Gordon Dixon - MG F Andy McDonald - MG F Thomas Clougher - MG ZS Me :D and daughter Kayleigh- MG ZS 120 + 1 other that has been booked on their behalf by one of the above and Jo is waiting their name. Unfortunately Phillip Espinasse had to pull out, I understand he severely damaged his car in a round of the B,C,V8 championship :mad: Jo Lloyd of Lotus-on-Track will e-mail you all before the event with the event guide and indemnity. Look forward to seeing you all there

23/07/2012 09:42:06 Martin C Wow! What can I say except absolutely awsome circuit, this has to be one circuit us Southern softies are really missing out on. Get it right and the fast chicane onto the long back straight to tower, followed by Jim Clark Esses and Darcroft (full throttle both if you have the nerve) then Sunny in and out is some of the fastest high speed tests I've encountered. But there are also technical sections of the complex and hairpin to end the lap followed by Clervaux and Hawthorn to start it. Most of us had a fantastic day with our friends at Lotus-on-Track, unfortunately Colin and Matt Wright in Colin's, new to him, Supercharged MG F only lasted 1 & bit sessions as the engine kept trying to throw its supercharger drive belt, great shame guys. Great to see some faces new to me, Harry Knowles, Gordon Dixon and Andy McDonald in F's, Tom Clougher out for the first time in his much modified and very quick ZS 120. Then old friends Trevor Leighton, Rooney Massara and Alan Byram, add in a much welcome dry day and it really couldn't have been bettered. Good news is that Jo Lloyd of LoT is hoping to run a day again next year, if that happens we will get the same invitation extended to us as this. My advice when it happens is, start saving now and grab it with both hands.

23/07/2012 11:42:19 Trophy-Steve Glad you enjoyed it! Where's the video :confused: :D

23/07/2012 20:50:11 Martin C [quote=Trophy-Steve]Where's the video :confused: :D[/quote] I note it took you Steve, an experienced video user, editor and YouTube user, 5 days to post your Castle Combe video. So a little patience Sir, I have never used a video camera, I have to master the new computer, load the software, work out how to use it and then I guess, register and upload to YouTube. So sometime before we return next year I guess. So calm down Dear! :p

24/07/2012 10:23:24 Trophy-Steve Just a couple of tips Martin... I'm not sure if you are using any special software, I normally upload the Vid to my PC, play around with it, then download to Youtube... With me, it's lots of trial and error, being a typical bloke, don't read the instructions until I need to !! ;) Best to upload onto Youtube when you are not using the PC for a number of hours, whatever you do, don't attempt to use the PC [B]AT ALL[/B] whilst uploading as it will stop and you have to start all over again...(very frustrating!) A 10 minute Video can take 3-4 hours (sometimes more) depending on your connection speed. Any problems, give me a call :eek:

24/07/2012 13:05:06 Martin C [quote=Trophy-Steve]Any problems, give me a call :eek:[/quote] Cheers mate, I may do. I have Pixela software that came with the Canon Camcorder, but I have a new laptop and desktop, the laptop I'm reasonably familiar with now having had it about 6 weeks. The desktop I only got last week, it was my 35 years at work award from the company. Then the printer packed up, so I spent last evening setting an HP wireless printer up to the desktop, tonight I want to connect the laptop to it. All this new technology is doing my head in, slowly, slowly, catchy, Monkey. As to what all these radio waves whizzing around my flat are doing to me, I dread to think! :confused: :eek:

24/07/2012 21:16:55 Trevor Leighton [b]Croft Track Day Photo's.[/b] Have eventually downloaded all my photo's from Croft, now just waiting for approval, hope they don't bore you all to much. Cheers Trevor.:) :) :)
