Track Day - Bedford 25th October

[chimp007_uk]

Anyone fancy a cheap track day? It's aimed at novices, I've only done 2, and they were well over 2years ago (been broke / car broke).

There's AM, PM and all day options. Me and my brother have gone for the AM slots, £79... :thumb: Open pit and 4hours on track. It's the full GT circuit, so should be a good crack and 101db limit :( Just got to finish the car and MOT it.

Anyone know any companies that offer temp cover for driving to events? I'm struggling and dont really want to go for annual cover.

Cheers!

i think adrian flux now offer it as i'm fairly certain i saw an advert the other day but lately i've been having some really strange dreams lol

dayinsure

Wont work sadly, as they'll only insure unmodified vehicles. Mine's non standard and registered as 2litre.

I've tried adrian flux, no joy... Think you should keep off the glue :d

[pikey1986]

lol

You could try competition car insurance they might be able to help you out, i wouldnt mind doing this day but i dont think i would get through the noise and not sure i could pass as a novice although i still have my novice cross

[chimp007_uk]

I had a quote of Competition Car Insurance a couple of months back for an annual policy, will give them a call. I'm a little concerned about the noise... I've got a decibel meter and it's reading 102ish :( I think i'll have to pop up when they're running another day and get a check.

Anyone got an DB reducing tricks?

[taffnova]

had email of adrian flux offering track day insurance there normally spot on for prices

[chimp007_uk]

Trackday insurance is different again, it covers you for time on track not getting to it. I had it included in my policy, along with agreed valuation, 3rd party cover on over vehicles etc. that was all with HIC who although don't quote against Adrian Flux, always turned out to be cheaper...

easiest way to bring your noise levels down a few dB is to add a supertrap

I missed out on one on ebay... Sold really cheap as well!! I was looking at the bike exhaust inserts, but doing a bit of research they apparently dont work well with cars.

Sorry to bump an old thread but im now coming along on this :)
My brother works for Palmers and I asked him to try and get me some discount got a call today saying hes got me on the whole day for nothing!
To say im happy is an understatment. Now I just need to get my redtop in before then and do everything else it needs or ill be taking it as a 1L lol

[scott.parker]

Supertrapps also bring down your horsepower too! Poxy things.

so wheres the discount for the rest of the club?

so wheres the discount for the rest of the club?

I was just thinking that... Surely I get some as a finders fee :d

Also regarding the "no track/race cars permitted" question, basically as long as the car isn't stickered up and numbered etc it will be fine. I think as it's a "novice" day, they want people with more standard cars. However, I did clarify that my xe on carbs with cage, no interior 2 seats etc is allowed lol and likewise for my bro's 2.1 8v with similar spec.

[novaboyopr]

i understand race cars but most people have track cars as such. cage etc.
dont need a ultima hacking round you if your a novice lol. ive been to this track on my 2 trackdays so hopefully they wont think im pro and let me in. lol

might be going to this if i can get a few mates to pop along.

[chimp007_uk]

Anymore takers on this?

[Dom]

Well a few of my mates who were going to come are going to the one on the sat before as its one of there birthdays.
My only problem with that is its a weekend less iv got to get my 2.0 in and running so ill still be there on the monday. And I have already started pulling the nova apart so fingers crossed it will be there. Ill start a WIP thread for it soon :)

[chimp007_uk]

Anyone going tomorrow?!

Just finished packing the car up, sitting ready on the trailer. Weather is looking good, just hope it holds together to have a bit of fun!

[chimp007_uk]

Brilliant, if not slightly eventful day!

[Paul]

well......

[Dom]

Glad you had a good day mate, had a look at the linky and sounds like you had fun.
I ended up having to go on sat as my brother messed up the dateslol the only problem was it was my first track day and it was more of an advanced one with porka's evo's ultima's atom's scoobys ferrari's etc lol
I also had to work in the morning so didnt make it till the afternoon session and my biggest thing was my Nova wanst ready so had to take my let mk1 Astra:eek: But im glad I did as I had so much fun and cant wait for the next one when I wil be in the Nova.

Did you get any of the pro pics they were selling?
Are you going to go again this year?

[toymex]

feck track insurance... it only pays out for you with a ******* big excess anyway.

[Stuart]

Saw the mention of track insurance earlier.... imho its a waste of time unless you have a £20K+ car

[chimp007_uk]

Ah, I didn't want track cover, just temp cover to drive to the track. Ended up trailering so no problems.
