TotalKitCar Live BrandsHatch
Any body else going? Sat 15th Nov
I've just spoken the Steve at Fury and I'm going to make the trip south and do some passenger laps for them. Last years event wasn't
bad at Blyton and with that under their belt, this years should be a good event. Only fly in the ointment might be the date, so fingers crossed for
decent weather... otherwise it'll be a long trip for not much more than cups of tea in a pit garage.
There's a bit more info available now as they had a press day at Brands last week. Fury seem to have done quite well out of it, with a car in
the publicity shots and a mention in the blurb on the BrandsHatch web site....

Hi Adi,
well so far we've got about 30 names down for this from SKCC - so we're all praying for half reasonable weather.
The rough plan for us is to have a pre meet meet for brekkie and then amble across once fully refreshed with a healthy full english.
will wander along to find you at some point! think we met at Detling 3yrs ago when you refuelled with Lee C at our BBQ....

Yes, I remember that. Pop in and say hello but I'll warn you now, I'm hopeless at putting names to faces.
I'm staying at the Thistle Hotel with a few mates on Friday, so I think some "fueling" will be done the night before.

Track days ARE the best thing since sliced bread, until I get a supercharger that is!

Unfortunatly not. Track time as such for visitors, though there is mention of "FREE parade laps". The track is available for exibitors to
give rides to visitors. Supposedly to potential customers though it varied last year (Blyton) from, anyone who asked with some, to very picky about
who they took out with others. Mostly free, though some asked for a charity donation (and apparently a couple charged).
Theres more info now here...

Don't be afraid to ask for a ride. I got the feeling a lot of people were a bit shy about it last year at Blyton. If you don't ask, then
you probably won't get (the more people ask the more laps I get to do  ).
No idea what the rules will be this time but (from memory) last year you had to sign on as a passenger, get a safety briefing (and wrist band to show
you had) from the circuit then just blag whatever rides you could. There was no age restiction last year, so a few teenagers got rides who
wouldn't have been able to at a track day. Rules might be different this time so don't hold me to that.

thanks for the quick response adi, I will defiantly be stopping by. I'm bringing my own lid as I have an odd shaped head. Having shattered my
skull I find it difficult to find a decent fitting lid that doesn't give me skull ache. Do you think a shoei helmet will be okay? I have used it
plenty of times when I have been racing at pod and not had any trouble, same with sneterton when I had a couple of passenger laps in kevs arion but I
have heard some circuits can be funny about using bike lids on car track days

Bates's new front engined car close up. I'll probable be hanging around the Fury Sportscars garage shouting abuse at Adi
