[quote name='jason_l' post='554362' date='Jun 17 2008, 10:51 AM']I bought a helmet for £50 a few months ago, specifically for track days, for use with the kit car on the motorway and i do alot of Go-Karting also. I would rather have my own helmet than use a rental one as some of the ones i have used over the years have been

You can pick up a entry level helmet from a motorbike shop for £30+, and then may get you doing more track days as well.

good point, however most trackdays insist that you wear a Crash helmet conforming to BS6658 Type A ( blue & white BSI sticker), AFR ( red & white BSI sticker) or Snell SA2000.

most motorcycle helmets are not conforming as they have a different type of use standard applied !
you can buy proper conforming helmets for around £70 from demon tweeks etc

the ones rented out are generally in very good condition, are sanitised before, and you can wear a under helmet balaclava underneath if you have lice or greasy hair

Mine has Certification, thats why i paid a little more...........well £50. Thought that would probably be the case so thats why i forked out a little more and got one that is approved.

Mine was £175, reduced to £50 because it was last seasons model, nothing has changed on the new model apart from the colour scheme. My bro has forked out over £400 on a simpson helmet (same as the stigs!!!) but i find the one i have much better as the visabilty is 100% better than his, even he said the same!

Just a quick one..........anybody know what the db limit is for this track, although if Bazza can use his Starlet any other car will be fine!!!

102db i think !

the starlet is now down to about 95 db at 3/4 revs
except when its running full boost and exhausting through the screamer pipe, at that point its any ones guess, but you cant actually measure it, i havent been stopped yet

Thanks Bazza, mine will be fine but just thinking if my bro does come along his is around 115db at 3/4 although his has been dropped of today to have a full race system made up so should be alot lower than what it is at present.

This is looking to be a good day, well worth the 200+ miles each way

Jason

looking at 13th October 2008.

Will confirm tomorrow but its 99% done.

Please check first post for more info I'll add

Got 3 Toyota Sprint Series cars coming along.............Barries Tartlet............a 300 + bhp ST205 and a 260 bhp ST165

Should be OK for PAX rides if you want

[b]THE EVENT WILL NOW TAKE PLACE ON 2/11/2008.

I NEED TO SEND A DEPOSIT ASAP SO CAN I ASK YOU TO SEND £90 TO MY PAYPAL ADDY

prolexuk at gmail dot com

I'll mark you up as having paid on the first page [/b][size="5"][/size]

Come on Guys (& Gals ) there must be more people interested in doing this...

For a start its a great price, its in a 'central' location......its probably the safest track day you could ever do - you're the only one on track, so no chance of any shunts, no nasty armco, you can do it at your own pace with no one in front or up your rear pushing you over your limits.........plus the food & drinks van serves some excellent grub


Plus the best bit of all.........You get the chance to try and beat one or two girls

i'd love to have a go but just cant afford it at the moment

and its my birthday that day


so no need to waste postage and send me your presents, you can give me them on the day

Need those who have expressed an interest to slip me the cash ASAP

Would like to see some of the modded IS's there

Yemgi.................Rotrex Dave............Adrian..........all not far away !!

Its a bit of fun and you can see how well your car goes and handles safely

refunded young man

Thanks

Need more to sign up for this pretty please

Dave,

What are the T&Cs regarding signing up for this? I have two questions.
a) What happens if you can't get the 30 people signed up? Will we get refunded?
What's the situation if for whatever reason, one cannot attend the event after paid for it? Refund or the booking can be transferred to someone else?

Thanks.

Common you big tart, or are you afraid of being beaten by my oil burner?

Just sent money to ya Dave

not too sure if my bro will be coming along as he has had a few problems with his car he was coming back from getting new exhaust system fitted yesterday and his car decided to dump all of his engine oil over the M25. If the place sell out then fair play but he does want to go but can't afford it as his car might need alot of work, if it is all ok then he will try and sort a space if its not too late.............

I see THREE lexus only on here...................TBH I'm a bit disappointed. All those expensively modified IS200's and only Marks S/C'd car coming along ? £90 for unlimited laps is a good price. The venue is great as well. You are safer than on a track day as its only your car on the track at one time..........

So dust off your wallets and come and see what you and your car can do legally !

[quote name='Bazza' post='554368' date='Jun 17 2008, 11:19 AM']good point, however most trackdays insist that you wear a Crash helmet conforming to BS6658 Type A ( blue & white BSI sticker), AFR ( red & white BSI sticker) or Snell SA2000.

most motorcycle helmets are not conforming as they have a different type of use standard applied !
you can buy proper conforming helmets for around £70 from demon tweeks etc

the ones rented out are generally in very good condition, are sanitised before, and you can wear a under helmet balaclava underneath if you have lice or greasy hair [/quote]

Is one with a Gold sticker acceptable? In particular a Arai Freeway.
