Ben Seabrook 4 Posted May 18, 2009 Author Report Share Posted May 18, 2009 yeah we aren't looking to hire the whole track just for us for a day because as you say that would be very very expensive !! we are looking at doing one session (morning / afternoon ) sharing the day with another club or clubs !! :) Link to post Share on other sites
thegoth 5 Posted May 18, 2009 Report Share Posted May 18, 2009 Not for me until I procure gainful employment.But had a look at the Millbrook proving ground website because I fancy the look of the alpine handling course, as seen on TopGear, and found a job vacancy matching my skill set. :-) Link to post Share on other sites
VR6Nat 9 Posted May 18, 2009 Report Share Posted May 18, 2009 yeah that's not such a bad idea, do maybe a vr6oc session, then 2 other groups of owners clubs. As long as there's a good amount in each session it will work out ok. If i had more balls id give it a go myself, but im all too familiar with tracks, and seeing bikes laying in the gravel, so def dont wanna see my baby in there. I might pop along for the day though depending on where it is... :) Link to post Share on other sites

[/quote']yeah that's my thinking from chatting to them - it should work out with a few hours off track time and be the most cost effictive way of doing it If i had more balls I'm glad you don't Link to post Share on other sites
