The Close Season!

[The Fat Clerk]

Doesn't get any longer does it?
At Mallory Park on Friday Dec 30th we had 70 cars doing a 'Javelin Trackday'
Today - Jan 2nd we had 120 motorbikes, including my Brother In Law doing a 'No Limits Trackday'.
So the papers are telling us that times are hard, and yet we've had 190 people (both maximums) out on the circuit.

Were they all race cars Dave or track day cars, if they are all race cars its looking good for 2012.

Mainly Track Day

Aren't track days considerably better value for money in terms of "on-track-time" compared to race days?

It terms of track time track days are way better value for money, but you dont get the same thrill of a race. Although track days are also better value than test days, Mallory runs a split day with cars in the morning and bikes in the afternoon and it is normally split into sessions so you dont get a huge amount of time on the track (compared to an open pit lane event). At this time of year you want to try and get to places like Cadwell, as they run open pit lanes and the there are only a hand full of people there (as its a pain to get to) so you almost get a private track day for around £99.

The bike one yesterday was incredably good value. My Brother in Law had 6, 15 minutes sessions for £39 and lunch was thrown in free. Because there were so many takers, they sent them out in 3 sessions - Fast, Intermediate & Novices. Believe me the Novices were scary!

That is standard practice for No Limits.

Ok, every other bike trackday organiser @ Mallory has the Novices out first, then the inters, then the quickies.
