really looking forward to this, I organised one a few years back which we had to cancel...North Weald had double booked. Apparently they has an issue with four scoobs sharing the same runway as some Scouts...

Due to selling my car I see little point in doing this now in the Legacy, is there anybody else interested in buying my place?

S9aru Shady - are you still interested?

Yep - am aware of the impending date - I'll need to know ASAP though because Gooner will need to book the thursday off work to have the sprogs on the Friday! Without me trawling back through the pages, can you let me know how much I will owe you and times etc!

Cheers mark

I think Pete and Kelly are still up for doing this...

Sorry Vicki, I hadn't noticed that you had shown an intrest in doing this... I'm sure another will be arrange in the future, I'll be up for doing it once I've sold the old banger and get something else...

You are all going to have to stop nearby and pump them up to 44-45 psi before you start, if you don't then you will find the tyrewalls will flex too much. Andy will then tell you to go out and get them pumped up meaning you lose out on track time....

Trust me on this

that sort of defeats the training though doesn't it? if the tyres don't flex as they would under normal inflation pressures

although i guess you should only be driving like it on a track anyway.

if you want them to roll off the rim then feel free to go with normal pressures.

You will not be driving like you do on the road (or even on most tracks) the tyres take a hammering. I don't want to put you off, it's all very safe and controlled but the tyres really will be feeling very sorry for themselves at the end of the day.

Depending on how committed you are, even with 45psi they end up looking like this!
