On Monday 8th October MGoT are holding their annual track day at Donington.  This year it contains special provision for first timers.  Full details are shown on http://www.mgs-on-track.com/events/136/donington_park_2012-10-08.htm.

We are invited and it is a good opportunity for first timers to get some special treatment.  An instructor will give the first-timer group classroom briefings during the day to provide guidance on the circuit and track driving. Experienced drivers will offer a buddy system. You will be allocated a buddy who will help you learn the ropes - from sign-on to the end of the day. You can also book a personal instruction session when you make your booking.

Summary details of the day are shown below:

Additional Information
Your chance to visit this fantastic Midlands circuit which is now back registered and fully operational following the F1 debacle. We hope to see 75 MGs anf Triumphs of various models having safe fun on track. We expect each car to have a full 2 hours 20 minutes of track time during the day assuming no stoppages. This is a three session per hour day with 7 sessions each of 20 mins. There will be plenty of space on track, running 25 cars on the two mile circuit will give each car about 140 yards separation without bunching.

Neil Revington and I have been discussing decoupling the ARB, fitting front radius arms (like a Stag) and re-attaching the ARB to different connecting points so that it functions only as an ARB not and part of the sprining.  This is a standard mod he applys to racing TR7s.  The trick for my (road) car would be to build in some resiliance.

Have a word with him about it.
