I'd just like to say a massive thank you to all the guys for organising such a fantastic event :) Sorry i can't remember all the names but thanks to you all esp Andy for the great advice and tips ;) I had a real blast of a day as i'm sure everyone else did too, esp on the top circuit ;) The best thing about the whole day and i guess the main aim of the day was the massive amount of learning what the car is actually capable of doing and the limitations of the car, to actually do all the things we did and to even try nos out in a controlled environment properly was fantastic. If anybody is thinking of or wondering what these days are about, please go and do it, you won't be dissapointed :) I liked the way it was pretty much left to your own devices to learn as much as you want to learn and push as much as you want to push and learn at your own speed as and when you feel like it, personally i couldn't stay off the track i loved it that much lol :) Had a great day guys, I know it says beginners but if there's ever another activity day please let me know cos i'll be there before anyone else :) Well worth the 3 and 1/2 - 4 hour trip down without any doubt. and it's certainly made me want to do a full track day and i feel pretty confident now about doing a full track day.. thanks Guys ;) Steve (Baracus) (Red TF 160 & nos) cheers ;) p.s. Just going putting the tyre writing back on my tyres :)

I can only echo the above post, I had an absolutely fantastic time and woud do it every day if I could! Thanks specially to Dave, Tim & Andy for their effort in making the day run incredibly smoothly and for standing round with stop watches and radar guns all day :) I'm going to upload my pics from the day in a minute - has anyone else got any? I didn't get that many I'm afraid :(

This looks like a fantastic oppertunity for any newbies to build confidence and see what track time in your own car is all about, at a low price to. I wanted to start track days years ago but didnt have the confidence to go ahead until I took the jump last year, I wish I had gone on one of these years ago. I would be there myself (only done 2 track days so far) but am on a track day the day before. MG on track should get credit for it to because I dont think any other club do it. So if you your a MG / Rover newby get booked up, it only costs the same as 30 minutes karting.

[b]Bookings now Open - Beginners only!![/b] Sorted out my AVITAR, now. Can I attend and watch on Sunday 15th Feb if I do not get a place?

Martin I'm sure Dave L will read this post and add you to the list.. You could email him directly at [email]dave@mgs-on-track.com[/email] Cheers Stu

Hi Martin, I've added you to the reserve list for North Weald in Feb. There is just one other person in front of you - see the post from Stuart Wilson earlier in this thread. Can you email me a suitable contact number to [EMAIL="dave@mgs-on-track.com"]dave@mgs-on-track.com[/EMAIL] so that I can reach you if something comes up. It is highly possible that there will be several cancellations before the day. If everyone does stay the course and there is no cancellation place for you please do come along anyway to watch. You'll be very welcome. Apologies for the website not allowing you to add to the reserve list. This is one of the problems we currently have and why we are redeveloping the booking system. Regards, Dave

[b]Reserve List-North Weald[/b] Hi Dave Just joined the forums today, very interested in the "Beginners Track Day." I would like to go regardless and watch if thats ok, but could you add me to the reserve list for North Weald in February please? Just in case. Regards Darren
04/01/2009 17:05:04
Dave
Hi Darren and welcome to MGoT, I've added you to the reserve list for North Weald. It would be useful if you could give me a telephone contact number, as often I need to contact reserves at the last minute when email might be too slow. You can email me at [EMAIL="dave@mgs-on-track.com"]dave@mgs-on-track.com[/EMAIL]. By the way, it's not a proper track day - more a driver training day that is a whole lot of fun. But, do come along anyway if you don't get a cancellation, as you can meet a whole bunch of people. Regards, Dave

Welcome Darren If you don't get a place this time, watch out in the events section for another North Weald day we are likely to run mid 2009.
