Rockingham track day
Just booked on a track day,at rockingham international race circuit,on sunday the 13th of november,drove the circuit last year,and I would say it was
the best track I have driven to date,its got a bit of everything,you even get to drive on part of the banked oval section,complete with concrete wall
  ,the day is booked though "bookatrack.com" have a look on there webb site for details,but in sumary, if any one is interested in
going,its £160 for the day,open pit lane,you even get a pit garage,which leads you straight out onto the pit lane/track,great for spectating
aswell,from the platform on top of the pit garages,you can see the whole race track.

Sounds good Paul, only problem is - without a trailer, it's a fair way to drive to Rockingham in the Indy, thrash it around the track and drive
it back home. It's a bit risky!! 
We are however, on the lookout for a reasonably priced trailer. We'll probably go either way, to participate or spectate

signing in is at 9.00am,on sundays,so you could have a lay in,and its realy not that far even from leeds,straight down A1,took me less than 1 1/2
hours from worksop last time.

its tempting paul im still paranoid about the noise, at elvington they were a bit slack and never tested me, but this one is 2dbs less. But the
pitlane and garage sounds nice!

You will have no problems with noise at rockingham Joel,I had a carbon race can last time I was there,they did not even check me,or anyone on the
day,its in the middle of a industrial estate,miles away from any housing.

tempting it would be good if i could borrow my mates transporter again, was a lot of use at elvington (since the car broke!). I lent him my van the
other day so its a distinct possibility!

weather could not be any worst than elvington the other week, or is saying that tempting fate,are you going down A1 or M1 Joel,me and Tony "mk
blade" are going A1 setting off at 6am ish,we could meet up enroute if your going A1 or we will see you down there,we can get a couple of pit
garages together,there's enough room for 2 or three cars in each,cheers Paul

hi paul! im aiming for a 5.30 departure, and will be heading down the a1. Pit garage sounds great, have you booked or are you relying on the first
come first served? if you've booked i'll chip in wid ya
I'll u2u you my mobile number. Im not sure how easy it will be to meet up at a specific time and place, my mate is shite at getting out of
bed... i'll be pegging stones at his window at 6 i bet! However, if we arrange somewhere and then i can let you know if im going to make it.
u2u on its way.
