If you want to take a passenger on track they must buy a pass on the day for £5.
 
Madmarco, if the passenger is a driver on another session do they still need to buy a pass? If you don't know I'll find out on the day.

Guys get your sound checks done early and don't forget your driving licence.

Thats a good question! Afraid I have no clue what the answer is though... When we were at the Action day at Coombe last month none of the passengers were checked for wristbands.

Had a flippin wonderful time ! Good to see a few faces from the past and makes it all the more wonderful to look forward to much more of the same in the future! Roll on Nottingham ;-) :thumbs: Gonna post up a few good pics i managed and posted some kinda neat video on facebook,,Reid Gutzman is the name and the videos are open to all to view . :cheers::driving:
 
Just got back, had a wonderful time again - many thanks Marco.

Thank goodness it dried out for our second track session.

Great to see Big Sam and Ben's machine, I think the stand got quite a bit of attention.

Biggest surprise of the day for me was how well some 300ZX were going in the wet, well driven guys. TBH based on previous sessions I've never rated them as a track car, today has changed my mind (they spin well too).

370Z, the jury is still out - better than I expected but still look a bit to chunky for me.

there were some proper sorted 300Zxs there with good drivers.:bow: as well as some youngsters who span!!
Its not all bar stool racing and bling over on 300ZX co.uk. Although there is a fair bit.;)
 
Loved it! Once the rain cleared it was a perfect day although the wet session was fun. Good to see so many people crowded around Ben's hill climber and Big Sam. We definitly got a lot of attention and earned a bit of respect for the Z! 2009 is turning out to be a very good year... ;)

I think you'll find the best drivers are from 300zx-club...
 
... ok, ok, I span. :)

I had literally no rear traction in the wet... sliding all over the place. I was locking the back up just gear braking!

All good fun though. Faired a bit better in the dry. :thumbs:

I've got on board footage of both sessions. Just got to figure out how to get them from tape to my computer.

Had an excellent day... Thanks to all involved.

:cheers:
