Castle Combe Open Pitlane Track day Monday August 8th

Post by Peter255 » Mon Jul 18, 2016 8:08 pm

£199 for the full day

100dB(A) static noise limit. Should be fine for everyone who does NOT have a sports exhaust.

I have booked and I think Alex is coming along too.

The more the merrier! :vroom:
Atom 4, Clio v6, & some other cars obviously.

I'll see what I'm up to and if I can I'll pop along for a catch up

Aiden it's with BHP but it's supposed to be full. However he squeezed me in somehow. Give David a call and see if he can do the same.

We have 3 Atoms now coming along. Myself Alex and another Atom yet to be identified! :laugh:

As Alex says it'd be good to see a few more along if you can wiggle in (although the day is pretty full).

Contact to try to book is David White, BHP TrackDays Ltd, 01342 837957, 07515 850699

YES we do! Some of us don't have the luxury of vans, trailers, and spare sets of wheels! :P

Was a great day in the end. A tiny bit of rain but only for a few mins and not enough to worry about.
Good to see a few Atoms hammering round, nice to meet Aidan, and nice to see Adrian pop down to have a chin wag. :tu:

Lots of videos on my YouTube channel if anyone is interested....

Here is me following Alex as a taster https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=AdhdSLHGyDQ

Great to meet up with Peter, Alex, then Kezzie and Debs.

After leaving you all at lunchtime Jill and I drove off to Crewkerne, leaving the Atom for it's big service, and spending a couple of days camping in the Van on the south coast. Returning on Wednesday to collect the Atom (and leaving the Van), we then did our first Atom 'road trip' for a couple of days in and around North Devon - extra points if anyone can recognise the photo

All in all great fun, and so much drier than last time we were at Castle Combe for Atomic Mass!
