hadyn Posted June 6, 2009 Share Posted June 6, 2009 In regards to insurance how much will one day track cover cost? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hogmaw Posted June 6, 2009 Share Posted June 6, 2009 In regards to insurance how much will one day track cover cost? Depends on your car but over £100 for sure. I don't bother myself but then I don't insure anything unless I have to. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JamieP Posted June 6, 2009 Share Posted June 6, 2009 Anyone know of any track car hire places that would drop something at the track for me? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
adnanshah247 Posted June 7, 2009 Share Posted June 7, 2009 me and robert might tag along not sure if my car will be ready for the track but just need to sort out hotel and stuff. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SteveR Posted June 7, 2009 Author Share Posted June 7, 2009 Tempted. If only i had my track tyres.I've only used road tyres on all the tracks I've been on to date, inlcuding this event last year. Track tyres are no doubt better, but you don't need them to get on track and have fun. Anyone know of any track car hire places that would drop something at the track for me? I've only just read that you were having poly bushes and a re-geo done on the Supe ready for Llandow? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SteveR Posted June 7, 2009 Author Share Posted June 7, 2009 ah I'd suggest giving Llandow a call and ask them if they know of anyone. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

AlexM Posted June 9, 2009 Share Posted June 9, 2009 We got plenty last year when there were 40, it's a shame it hasn't filled up - doesn't bode well for future events. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SteveR Posted June 9, 2009 Author Share Posted June 9, 2009 We got plenty last year when there were 40, it's a shame it hasn't filled up - doesn't bode well for future events. Even though I'm behind with updating the thread, Pod looks even worse. Shame about this though, I was hopig to move on to hiring a bigger track somewhere more central, but the figures won't add up. We'll have to only use the enthusiast-run events and commercial events if we can't fill our own. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cheekymonkey Posted June 9, 2009 Share Posted June 9, 2009 I'm really surprised about this. I can't imagine why we aren't even getting everyone from last year back? It's was an awesome day. Maybe it's the credit crunch and next year things will be brighter. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
adnanshah247 Posted June 9, 2009 Share Posted June 9, 2009 my car at the moment looks as if it will be ready this week, providing no issues arise and ryan is able to map it up etc. i should be on the track Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SteveR Posted June 9, 2009 Author Share Posted June 9, 2009 Did you try any club forums for other types of cars Steve? I discussed it with Homer as a backup plan, and I considered a few known quantities... but... there isn't much point in me going to the effort or organising a 'faceless' event with invites spread far & wide. I'd rather face running this at a small loss and not both again in the future (let people revert to BookaTrack etc) than lose the club spirit of the event. It's a lot of effort and not worth it -IMHO- if it's not for the club's benefit. Ideally/hopefully we'll top-up with a few more club members and/or friends of club members, but a this late stage I don't intend to go inviting complete stangers and risk ruining the event for everyone, just to hit the target number.
