Spring Performance Car Action Day, Castle Combe, Saturday 26th April.

[stribo]

Last years event wasn't very well attended owing to only having 4 weeks to organise it, so this year everyone's got plenty of notice. It's a great event, sort of a mini Trax if you like, with plenty of track action (track time is available @£30 if booked before 26/2. Entrance is free for up to 10 cars, then £12 a car after that, though the cost will be shared by everyone attending e.g. if 15 cars attend then it'll cost £60, shared between 15 would be £4 each. Passengers over £17 are 12 in advance, and £15 on the day, under 17s go free. The booking form has to be in at the end of the month, so get your names down A.S.A.P.

[stribo]

I'm overdue a trip to Wiltshire, as some of my cars have come from Swindon. Thinking about it.............

[Rudeyboy18]

I'm game. Only 20mins from me. I will just check I'm not working

[stribo]

how long on track do you get?

15 minutes, same as Trax.

[T5frankie]

seems alot of money, can get a whole day on a track for £95

It's the same price as Trax. T5D5 have a day at Castle Combe later in the year, that's £160.

trax is a massive event mate at silverstone, so is worth it,
look at this for example, full open pit lane, the whole day for £99

But that's Cadwell Park, how many car shows do they have there? Also the track sessions were over crowded at Trax last year, at Combe, there's a bit more room to move.

[T5frankie]

only a 230 mile round trip

[stribo]

only a 230 mile round trip

It's your choice mate. ;)

Just the timing. My Birthday is in a month.
I hope if the C70 holds together to get some time on Cadwell Park - probably with Club MSV.

[Wobbly Dave]

the price per hour for castle combe is too high for my liking.

Welcome to the south. ;) I'd like to do Cadwell PArk, but this is more than just a trackday, as it's a car show, with drift displays which are normally entertaining.

April weekends looking very full now for me, with an AutoSolo on 13th, a night rally :eclipsee_(driving) on 19/20th, and now Combe on 26th. Think I had best reserve the remaining days for time with the wife !::hug:

Not sure that my V70 is quick enough for the track and still has standard suspenders and brakes so may have to bring the 172 track car:duck:
