Anybody doing or fancy doing a Cadwell Park track day this year? I am looking for something June time to fill a gap in my Summer programme (that sounds really posh but in truth I only have the National (I hope) and Le Mans sorted for this year).

I'll certainly be doing a few days there. My favouritist track. Just made for a car like the VX.

TonyVXR56 and I will be there with a mild mannered racing driver on 12th April

I did Cadwell last year in the VX, brilliant track.

My favourite too! Can't wait for spa in July

Well I've got the 11 days off for the price of 3 days leave in April thanks to the Bank Holidays, so have just booked in with Javelin for the 27th April.

Fishmarket (restaurant) was very good and liked Gul beer too

Say hi to Eugene for me please, I often speak fondly of him.

There and back in a day or staying over Matt?

There and back in a day or staying over Matt?

I'm easy. I did four days there last year and did there and back on the day, each time. Apart from the final day of the year when it absolutely hammered down and I was crawling along, it always took under 2 hours. But, I'm half an hour closer than you.

The usual hotel that seems to get recommended by the two TDO's I've used, is the Admiral Rodney in Horncastle for decent prices.

It's not Eugene, it's Anthony Dunn

Dependant on date you can count me in. Cadwell's a fantastic track and separates the men from the boy ..... ....which is why I'll be turning up in shorts

[techieboy]

I wouldn't worry about it Dave. I'll probably be wearing Pampers after my last visit there.

Mmm, 27th April with Javelin is tempting, already two VXs booked in including Techieboy. Anybody else interested?

Last time I was there (on a winter's day) was in an elise there were two notable incidents. An exige owner who knew the place like the back of his hand and quite happy to still motor it round, back end out, within one corner after going off onto the grass. Some high confidence levels there and seemingly the credentials to back it up (gathering it up from the grass for starters). Second incident was a VX going off in the afternoon, I overheard talk of clam damage, effectively written off, etc. Obviously as a superior Lotus owner I just spat on the vauxhall-owning-peasant and carried on ...btw. I know that some of you don't have a humour gland so I'd just like to point out that the above reference was a joke. I did stop to p*ss on the wreck to help put out the fire.

Me. I'll take decision over the next couple of days. Also looking at Combe on 8 April with MSE.

I'd just like to add that wasn't me. I was more like the Exige driver and gathered it with at least one of the wheels on the grass (though I'm not sure how). Suffice to say, I was 10 seconds a lap slower after that.

Do it. £139 for the early booking price is great value.

Don't bring your other half though, she will not like it.

Just realised that the Mrs is away so I'm 99% likely, I'll sort it by Monday. I've not done Cadwell before. How many Pampers will I need (or just one very big one)?
