During the year ahead I will be offering extra incentives for FCCUK members booking Easytrack Trackdays. I will also open otherwise non-public events (not advertised on website) to members on here, and helping out where possible for those who just need that 'something extra or out of the ordinary'.

Thanks to the regulars in 2011, I hope we see more of you in 2012.

All welcome except 1 contributor on here who knows he is not welcome.

If the prices were very good i might do more, as it could be an incentive to do something about my loud exhaust. mine was measured at 107.9db at donington on the sighting laps shocked

Hey Dan looking forward to some fun this year, Alfanutter can't distinguish between "Trackdays" and "comparing" days Lol

I had a good tangle with a few of the Porsche owners club last time out at Oulton (and my first time at Oulton). Looking forward to going back and being on the money pace wise from the start!

Look forward to a little friendly "comparisons" smile driving

Tim,
Just a suggestion but it might be worth getting a list of people that are interested over the year and contacting them by a group pm as every track day i have been on usually has the same 10-15 faces and we all have a great day.

Is this also the company that Jonny said were slightly more expensive but had much lower numbers on track?

Will us ex-Couper's be able to come along, Tim?

I did a couple of events with you last year ... both great days, without too many people on track (unlike some other TD organisers!)

And I'm guessing that you're not talking about my dad ... even after his black flag and talking to by you at Oulton! laugh

Ah, but with Senny Dave as passenger, you'll be considerably less than 300bhp/ton tongue

Not very interesting for me either ... even though I might manage 125mph for most of the mile! laugh

We'll all be there, flying off in the distance, then watch as all the Coops come past with us in formation at 119mph, 125mph and 126mph. 1mph makes all the difference tongue You must be geared for more than that Dave?

I've no idea what my Westie's top speed is, Jonny ... I've not found anywhere long enough to slowly crawl to it yet!

On the straight at Donny, I'd guess that it was hitting 115-120mph, but still accelerating some.

Should be faster than you though tongue Its all about the BHP laugh
