Craig Bennett Posted December 31, 2006 Share Posted December 31, 2006 Hi Fred. Are there any places left on the Silverstone Track day on March 12th? Have just acquired another triumph suitable for track days and would be a good chance to test it out.Regards, Craig Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
trackerjack Posted January 1, 2007 Share Posted January 1, 2007 Quoted from davesideways If I come I'll gladly ride shotgun with any noobs.I'll quarantee to knock a few seconds off your laptime... I made Josh Bowler go about twice as fast with some basic tution at Mallory :)This mainly consisted of telling him to brake much later and harder and use the loud pedal much more :)I have been in the rear seat of a Turbo SE Porsche (or some name like that it was quick whatever) while a good racing friend of mine talked the owner driver round Goodwood............he did exactly as he was told such was his trust in my friend, but I was thinking "what if it goes wrong, he will not know what to do" but what the hell you only live once, dont you just love speed?He offered the car for me to drive but I just had to decline. sob sob Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

trackerjack Posted January 8, 2007 Share Posted January 8, 2007 Quoted from Fred_Slezak Too true trackerjack - btw - i don't suppose there is any footage you could post or am I asking too much...? (I wouldn't nkwo how to that's for sure!) But it would be great to see the Sprint in action![ /quote]Well it took a long time and I am such an idiot with computers but I think with Chris Birds help here it is...............at last.http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ow7KQE0PSKE Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tim Bancroft Posted January 9, 2007 Share Posted January 9, 2007 That was good, shame no Triumphs appeared. BTW I think we could be going back to CC in July- Fred will inform soon.Can't wait for Silverstone! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
trackerjack Posted January 9, 2007 Share Posted January 9, 2007 Tim there was one Triumph that I wish I had the camcorder running when I caught it.One of those big saloons going more sideways than forwards..........I am quite sure the "crew" must have been seasick. ;D Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tim Bancroft Posted January 11, 2007 Share Posted January 11, 2007 That was Ellis Stokes (TR7 Nutter).By the way owing to the no-show of one or two people we have space for one or two people on this TD at Silverstone. To get a place, please hurry as Fred must get the money for these last places to MGoT early next week. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Malcolm Posted January 11, 2007 Share Posted January 11, 2007 Sorry about that, what a nightmare - cheque never made it past my outbox last week. It REALLY IS in the post now so can I keep that place, please?Just emailed Fred to let her know....M. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fredbie Posted January 11, 2007 Author Share Posted January 11, 2007 Yep - got your message Malcolm - will look forward to receiving it! To anyone else that is thinking of joining... now really is your last chance - We only have 4 places left. If you want to join we will need to know by the beginning of next week or we will sell these places elsewhere. Craig and Richard B - I've not heard from you since sending out the booking forms - let me know if you're still planning on attending. Its going to be an amazing day and a great opportunity to drive the full Silverstone circuit. Just finally Trackerjack - enjoyed your footage :D I'm looking forward to going back to Combe later in the year. Fred Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Craig Bennett Posted January 14, 2007 Share Posted January 14, 2007 Hi Fred. Sent you the form and cheque last week. Hope you've received it now. Any problems let me know. Regards, Craig Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Malcolm Posted January 18, 2007 Share Posted January 18, 2007 Is there a list of who's going we can have a look at??Malcolm. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tim Bancroft Posted January 19, 2007 Share Posted January 19, 2007 Malcolm, The list is as follows:Fred SlezakJon JacksonChris BirdAndew MartinMartin StoneDale BarkerEllis StokesMalcolm ParisCraig BennettTim BancroftJohn DaviesPaul MichelmoreAt the mo. its all a bit embarassing, as 3 or 4 people who said they would def. do the TD decided not to at the last minute.So we have places for anyone who wants to come along. This means that one would not have to be a member of CT to take part- the only prerequisite being that a Triumph must be used and that the £150 has been paid.Surely someone must fancy it? As many laps as you want at the Silverstone GP circuit- its gotta be done!E-mail Fred or me if so. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Fredbie Posted January 19, 2007 Author Share Posted January 19, 2007 That's very kind Malcolm - actually only two places left now! I think the post to my house is becoming more and more irregular - one cheque hadn't turned up at all!BTW I forgot to say - your Scimitar looks very nice indeed :) I'm not suprised you're looking forward to testing it out!

Malcolm Posted January 20, 2007 Share Posted January 20, 2007 I'm the only TR booked! Where are the rest of you??M. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tim Bancroft Posted January 21, 2007 Share Posted January 21, 2007 Malcolm,We have struggled with bookings for this one, I think its a bit too near Xmas etc.We will be attending the TD at Castle Combe in July, and hopefully one other. We were hoping to go to Cadwell Park, however the MGoT boys cannot secure a day, I'm hoping that we will go to the Bedford A'drome.Also what a shame that the TR Reg. day at Mallory is'nt happening.

Russell Posted January 21, 2007 Share Posted January 21, 2007 That is a shame about Mallory. I enjoyed spectating last year and was hoping to take the Spit there for my first Track Day. I thought to do Silverstone as a first might be a bit daunting!Any ideas when the Bedford Autodrome might be?Russell. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tim Bancroft Posted January 21, 2007 Share Posted January 21, 2007 Russell,The Bedford A'drome TD will probably be an evening one, therefore I would have thought June/July.Why not consider S'stone in March- I believe the run-offs are largish, also rememberone can go at the speed they fell comfortable with. I think you would enjoy it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
