Default ● Croft Track Day - Saturday 13th September *

Mrs has given me the go ahead

Anyone fancy joining me at Croft on 13th September? through Javelin Track Days?

Not booked yet, but will be as soon as I finalise a few things.

£159 booking plus....
£20 for 20 mins with an instructor (if you wish, you don't have to)
£20 for an additional driver (if your missus wants a go, mine might )
£10 for helmet if you don't have one, it's a must.

Sorry bikky, we're not in the country around the 13th Sept, but I'm in desperate need of a really good blast and a day at Croft would have been superb.

My advice to anyone going to Croft for the first time would be to get the instructor.
The benefits out-way the financial outlay, and the track is superb once you get the lines right.
Ask him to drive you around the lap in your car and really see what it can do.

Hope you get plenty of takers and have a brilliant day

I'm still considering this but even if I decide I'm not going to do it, I might still go cheer you on.

Splendid, That means I'll have someone to look after spare wheel/fuel/oil etc.


*EDIT*
That's me booked on and confirmed

1 x Car+Driver session (NOVICE as I've not had rear wheel drive for decades)
1 x Instructor session (to teach me to drive)

Just a cheap pair of oil catch cans for excess oil vapours. Working on a custom one which will integrate the radiator expansion tank, hence the long untidy looking hoses.
