Guys,
Just in case anyones interested there is an evening trackday at Brands Hatch, details here:-
http://www.motorsportvision.co.uk/trackdays/event-details.asp?ProductID=1721
Few of us going as we belong to Lotus on Track but if anyone wants the go then the price includes membership to Lotus on Track which does some
excellent discounted trackdays all around the country and abroad, best bit is it's only £89 with the free membership of Lotus on Track.
I know it's an evening but you should get plenty of track time and driving standards should be good, a great chance to do your first trackday.
Rich.

Yes , Brands nice and local great circuit, could give my CVH a quick send off , are Locosts welcome to this??
well I'm booked in
Yes, definitely.
I checked with Paul who runs Lotus on Track and he was very happy for me to post here and would love to see some of us along.
Lotus On Track trackdays are very well organised and I have always found the driving standards excellent.
They also have an evening at Brands in June which includes a BBQ afterwards and obviously they have lots of other trackdays aswell.
They also have a box at Brands which they always offer tickets for on a first come first serve basis for all Brands events at no cost.
Well worth a look, LoT details here:- http://www.lotus-on-track.com/

Just looking at the small print they talk full FIA rollbars, my Locost does not have that ,I'll have to email Motorsportvision for clarification.
Dave,
I queried some of this with Lotus on track as my car won't be sva'd in time - they said as long as its road worthy they won't have an
issue.
Ned.
Ned do you need to be 2Kg's lighter for this event ?? 
Jason
hm could be! funding available from payday (week friday) we can catch up at boxhill or detling
No worries, I'll have them all back from the Bearings fitters early next week now
Jason
Booked in , just need a tax disc and a battery now, anyone got a bullet cam to lend me?
Could be a big day for my old CVH!!

Jason

Ned.
Wehay, I see a plan starting !!
Jason
Was a good evening And a big thanks to Ned for allowing me daughter into the passenger seat for a few laps
Also congratulations to ned for some prety quick laps as well, there only seamed to be a couple of Lotus able to pass him and stay in front of him !!
not bad when you consider he was driving a TDI VW Bora !! good on ya matey
Jason
Thanks Jason, your girl was most welcome - at least it was dry in the vw!
Think it must be the weight and my big balls at paddock on the brakes that did it
I did let a couple of vx220's and elise 160's past. seemed to go best with traction control off until the ecu kept going into safe mode..
Ned.
ps you should have stayed for the grub mmmm

knew you would't let me down bob
As i have pointed out before that as with the last car, i have done all i can to keep me hands clean. I do not profess to be a car builder and i do
not gloat at the fact i have built all the car myself.
I think you lot are jeleous that i'm on my 3rd built car and you lot are still on your first so all in all i have built much more than you
lot!!!!!!
Ha ha
Yeah but no , but Yeah but no , but an nat!!
I'm just jealous that you are a house husband
It's all about investment!! Futures market, i.e spotting a good thing when you see it!!
