    Drifitng Day at North Weald

    The next drifting day at North Weald will be Tuesday November 25th, this is being organised by Nick form www.driftracing.co.uk
    And is being run again with Andrew Walsh from www.carlimits.com Andrew will be on hand to ensure everything goes smoothly and safely again, and will no doubt be available for tips demos and instruction, (I gave him a quick go of my tracky for 10 mins and instantly learned something so well worth it)

    Cost is £60 for the day per car

    Anyone interested can book through Carlimits using credit card on 08707 547547

    Or ask me for any more info.

    Hmmm, 25 miles from me, so maybe. Is it a pay on the day or does it need to be booked in advance?

    You may be able to pay on the day, but paying in advance would be best to make sure you get a place,

    I will check with em though

    Should deffo be wet this time, they have bought a water bowser and they are strapping it to a trailer
    Although late November there is a fair chance it will piss down with rain anyway

    Ok those that want to pay on the day,

    You can turn up and try but if it's sold out in advance then you can't get on.

    Spaces are limited to 20 cars, that way everyone gets plenty of track time, and the Jap car boys will no doubt be booking a few spots as well as this is being posted on the MR2 and other forums.

    Me, PopupToaster and Smiffy, are booked and almost certainly Mr_Hoarder will be tomorrow.

    As said before I suggest you book in advance to guarantee your place, but if you want to take your chance do so.

    For those who want to spectate and passenger ride in cars this will again be FOC, so feel free to come along, there are always spare passenger seats.

    Starts about 9am and there will be lots of cars going sideways around an airfield, there are bogs and burgers/sandwiches etc there
    It will probably be cold
    OH and it may be the windiest place on the planet that day

    Email I got ...."Andrew will meet you at 9.00am at the airfield, but if you wish to arrive a bit later that will be fine, just let us know beforehand, and the day will finish at approximately 4.00pm. You will need to bring your licence with you on the day. There is no need for the use of helmets and there are food facilities located within the airfield."

    Doesn't say nowt about it being a driving licence tho maybe a dog licence will do or a fishing rod licence?
