    That would be awesome if you could, not sure how many drivers are actually coming but it should be fairly quiet I'd have thought. Bring lots of tyres with you if your drifting seat time will be silly.

    It's pay on the gate, £40 per day to drift but there might be a gate entry fee per person like Smeatharpe (£10).

    Yep you would have enjoyed it, not too far for you to travel as well. I think they are talking of 2 next year but not sure.

    No problem Don, thanks for coming and as always nice to see people that listen progress through the day.

    Trev did tell me 2 events for next year, both weekenders. One in spring time (April I think) and the other was the same time of year as this one.

    Now we just need to get more drifters there to make it worth the tyre van guy turning up and outnumber the sprinters/grippers.

    Everyone came on well and as Martin said, makes a nice change for people to listen.

    To everyone that didn't come.
    This is what you missed. We'd set the track to run multiple cars but we didn;t need to..

    DOH! was unfotunately busy so couldn't have made it anyway, but I'd love to give that track a go.
    think you need another test day there just to make sure... this year :p

    Looks like a awsome day this and not a million miles away from me.

    Must say think you need get a few more dates on the calender for this place as it will go down a treat with us lancashire, cheshire, manchester lot as its not that far for us, just a few junctions up the m6 :)
