I hear what you say Pete, & it’s very tempting IF the price can be matched (have you asked,yet?).
In any event, I suspect that some of the others (AndyD in particular) aren’t as flexible on dates as I am, & therefore I think I’ll be sticking with the 12th. I view these days as being as much a “social occasion”, as a “driving” one, with like minded peeps, & that’s really important to, & appreciated by me personally
Can’t you get there on the 12th, or is the noise situation putting you off? It would be great if we could all meet up (curry the night before?) on the same day
My car makes as much noise as a milk float anyway so i’m up for either (or both as ones the gp). I’ll book the one for the 12th on Fri as i want to go anyway.
I’ve been down on this one for sometime, totally confirmed. Maybe Jonny can include me in that five. All welcome to use my garage btw or have we a meeting point already Benja? If yes I’ll cancel mine and save a buck or two
I’m on my hols for the other date so will be defo going for the 12th.
I’m with Pesky about the social side of such days. For me its as much about chatting in a pit garage (Jonnyfox’s apparently ) as it is about driving like a girl round Craners
Could anyone who is yet to book please put themselves down as provisional on the BAT site and pm me your BAT username so I can let Jonny know…cheers.
Make sure you add my name Benja even if I was pre booked, I’m a BaT regular…and Chris you know you’ve no need to ask mate what you bringing dude or is it a wishful thought?
My S1 will pass Donno noise if the boost is turned down a bit. So Pesky, looks like I will only be a modest blur as I razz past your slow rice rocket!!
Yep Pesky… of course half the fun is in the ‘Social’ side of the day!!! Unless of course you behave in an anti-social manner by having the cheek to pass me on the Craners
I am free on the 12th… so very tempted! In fact I will book as provisional… just a ‘bit’ worried about the noise as Donny is really keen on the 98 DBA!
Oulton was just frustrating … you heard how bloody noisy my car was… even with your very kind ‘loan’ of the new snorst! I do not want the same hassel bat Donny!!
Since I have fitted the Elise Parts large SCRP, things are a lot quieter! But I am still unsure whether the SCRP with the Janspeed will keep me under the noise limit???
Anyone care to comment!
Where are you planning to Ruby Murry? Sparkhill in Brum is worth the detour for a ‘real one’!!!

I very much doubt I’ll be doing much overtaking - hardly driven the car this year, with only 1/2 day on track at Donny many months ago, so I need to learn how to drive the thing all over again
Curry - afraid it would have to be local to Donny for me, but in all honesty, will probably drive down on the day anyway.

Pete,
the Janspeed and the eliseparts big SCRP is the set up I had on mine before the boyz did the Honda and I did Donny many times without a problem*.
In fact at the exiges.com day there a few years my car sounded like a milk float in comparison with some of the others according to my wife.
Go on - you know it makes sense
In terms of a curry there’s an ok one in Melbourne which is one of the villages next to Donny.
*For legal reasons I would like to state that I offer no guarentees or refunds should the noise police have a different view
Hey Pete I spent all day on track with a 103db zorst at Donny. They pulled me first trip out of the day. But they asked I keep it down on the pit straight, they dont want you off track when all said and done…they hate the local regs like the rest of us I wasn’t the only one either that day!
P.S How do we go about getting and paying for the ‘group deal’ with BookaTrack please?
AFAIK Ben will let Bookatrack know who to apply the discount to, & your “shopping cart” will be adjusted before you pay. No doubt, Benja will correct me if needs be
