Would love to go but need 2 new tyres and a new set of front pads before I can head down again

Either you wear out tyres very quickly or it's the same old rubber you had on in April, so you may as well bring it down to Wakefield and finish them off properly.

Let's see what 133kW will do. No excuses. :twisted:

2 tyres have a bit of tread left, 1 has a hint of tread pattern left, and the 4th is basically a slick haha

I think I'm due for a track day, but I want timing, I assume the club day has that? What about passengers? Where's the entry form I don't understand their website.

Timing yes.
Passengers no (few track days permit it) but you will get one-on-one instruction from an experienced driver if you want it.

Thanks for that. Damn I hate when they do no passengers. Circuit club do it, makes the day so much more fun. Oh wells the competition will be fun enough

That and watching pete spin out =P

True, but Circuit Club also seem to charge a fair bit more for their track days. Looking at the website, they are asking $190 for Wakefield Park. The club "early bird" rate this year has been $120 for Mondays and $140 for Sundays. I'd assume the difference is due to higher insurance costs for Circuit Club if they are allowing passengers on the track??? That and Circuit Club also need to cover the use of the timing gear.

Anyway, hope you can make it to the club track day.

Good point, last time I did a Circuit Club track day it was much cheaper than that, but it was a while ago...
Wait but doesn't the mx5 club use timing gear too or is it not transponders like cc?
Yeh I should be able to make it, its going to be great if everyone goes.
