06/12/2006 11:47:16 1340 Jet Black I'm opening a sweepstake on the weather.. Will it be Sunny, Clear and Cold ? Raining and Misty ? Snowing ? Sunbathing weather (in a bizarre global warming way) ? Answers on a postcard please. Also advance apologies - the mini's not going to be very fast around Brands (or anywhere) so I'll be a bit of a mobile chicane. I'll be trying to carry as much speed as I can through the corners, but 53 bhp just can't stretch too far ... ________ [URL="http://vaporizeraffiliateprogram.com"]Vaporizer affiliate programs[/URL]

13/12/2006 19:54:00 paulzedster [b]brands[/b] Hi guys it looks like it will be fine,but you can never tell with brands.Newbie question what happens when we arrive at brands? do we just get let in?/??:eek:

13/12/2006 20:11:07 Stu Hi Paul Yea just tell them your on the trackday and they will point you in the right direction. Have you downloaded and printed out the indemnity form? You need to fill it out, sign and bring with you together with both parts of your driving licence. There is a link on the event info on the front page of this website. There's also a useful info guide from MSV you can print out and read. Looks like it's going to be dry day thank god. This is my third year of trackdays but the first time I have managed to do Brands so the circuits new to me also.. I am aiming to get in the area by about 6.30 to avoid the rush hour traffic, evidently there is a cafe just past the main gates, I'm going to head for that assuming its open at 6.30 !! See you friday Stu

[/quote] Damn! I've just printed the form off and read it (something that I don't normally do...). I have a slight problem - just above the signature there is a reference to colour blindness... Approximately 9% of white males suffer from some form of colour blindness. I am one of these. To be precise, I have deuteranomalous eyesight. I can tell the difference between the red and yellow flags but not the yellow and red lights - hence my continuing around the track at Donington. I was okay at Silverstone, as they used flashing red lights.

14/12/2006 18:31:45 Ralph Funny you should say that... ;)

14/12/2006 20:17:05 Stu I am the same Ralph, colour blindness is the wrong term it should be called colour recognition. The brain can see the difference in the colours, it just can't tell which is which. There are benefits though, I have really good night vision. I am a process control engineer so you can imagine what fun I have with multicore cables :D On the track bottom line is if you see lights on it usually means trouble ;) Stu;)
