Metcheck now says its going to be good weather but it changes quite often, others say light rain but dont update as often as metcheck.

I dont think we should leave it much later that today to book, possibly give it until tomorrow lunch time, but others are probably doing the same as us and watching lol.

Weather looks ok to me - I still haven't booked it cos I'm scared of going to my first trackday on my own

chris8886 · 10-09-08, 01:58 PM

you two need to get eachothers numbers and book together, lol

10-09-08, 02:31 PM

Booked!

G · 10-09-08, 02:34 PM

Booked

If they cant get the weather right 4 days in advanced then the theres no help for the world lol.

Cool, they said sign-on was from 8:30am to 9:30am. I plan to be there for about 8-8:15am so I can get the panic over with.

Funny but I'm more nervous about going on a track here than I was about the Nurburgring, even though that's notorious for crashes, etc!

I'll be there about the same time, maybe abit earlier incase they decide they are noise testing afterall and I have to swap my exhausts over before the first session.

My kerry should be coming so we will have somewhere to stash stuff if your girlfriends isnt.

As for nerves, they wear off pretty much as soon as you leave the pitlane and you realise your actually a crap load safer than on the road.

i was so unbelievably excited before my first track day session last year at lydden. was sat there in the queue waiting to go out bouncing off the walls. jester will testify. a few nerves, but mainly excitment, the moment i got out there, i was so focused i couldn't believe it when the flag came out for the end of the session!!

Wife mate, she doesn't let me forget it!

Yeah, Laura should be coming - I think she'll come down in the car a bit later though and take some piccies, etc. Should be a cracking day, just got to pray for the weather!
