track days? ....

[bigdan1]

how do you go about getting on the track?

what do i need to get and how much is it going to cost.

say i have a car thats ready to go on the track i have a trailer to get the car there or drive it if its road legal, what do i need and how do i get a license

how much does it cost to race round say nockhill?
how long do i get for the money
and do i have to wear all the safety gear like fire proof suit and helmet and that?

i imagine helmet is a must tho lol

[Stuart]

err its not poo..... if you want to race, join a race series. If you just want to go and spank the ass off the car in a safe place, then do trackdays.

Goto a TD wanting to race and expect to be chucked out!

see now heres where you notice why i asked the question i dont no any of this mate.

i no you cant race at a track day its just to have fun really isnt it.
people do race on them tho iv seen the evidence on youtube lol.

[Stuart]

just because you get tools driving badly appearing on youtube, dosent mean it happens all the time and also dosent mean its right!!!

you will find that most of those 'racing' on youtube will have had a proper reaming on the day from the organisers.

[bigdan1]

have i done something to you in the past?
only ur making me feel like im at school again lol

[Stuart]

Its just that some people view a trackday as a race, and its anything but that. I've even heard some 'special' people claiming they had won on their track day lmao

Trackday etiquite is getting worse and worse because of it :( which puts a lot of people off etc, and where is the fun in that.

Some folks need that drumming into them lol. As you thought it was a race etc it seemed that you needed that :p

lol stuart thinks of himself as the headmaster and if your a bad boy he'll ban you from his forumz

[Stuart]

ill bend you over the desk......... erm hang on

[Jack]

Note following behind and/or overtaking on a track is not "racing".

[bazil]

Ooooft I'm outa ere.............lol

Stuart does have a good point about driving standards on trackdays, I've seen a mint mk3 astra gsi being wrote off at knockhill by a **** in a £50 orion, not funny.
