I'm up for this (PM on way). Always fancied a play at sprinting.
Couple of questions: -
Will timing equipment be working like a test day, or will it be like other trackdays where no timing allowed for liability purposes?
If timing is allowed, will it only work if you have one of those metal doobreys on the front of your car? If you need one what's the spec?
Given it's not a proper sprint, I assume there's no requirement for fireproof overalls etc as the MSA state?

Would it be ok to bring a group of students along to watch and gain ask a few questions in the paddock?
It's not far for us to come along, would like to bring our MK along but it's nowhere near ready.

this is a great little sprint track, i ve been a couple of times, the last time was in my impreza.
my front tyres were a little worse for wear afterwards though...lol.
i would go again if i could afford it, got made redundant this year so things are a little tight at the moment.
i do have a video somewhere of last time there.

We won't be using the Clubs timing kit during the day, but I usually bring a stopwatch and do timed runs in the afternoon. No MSA kit is
required, but if you have it I'd wear it (I'll be in mine looking like a chubby STIG), Helmets are reccomended and in an open car they
must be worn at all times on the track...
Any more Q's fire away...

Hi, Do you still have places left for Curborough? Cars dont need to be road registered or anything like that do they, as we are thinking of using the
day for setting the MK up. Is the price per car or per driver?

PM sent (yeah I know, Si - finally!).
It'd be great to pick up some tips on the day too, if possible.
I don't know about anyone else, but my my first experience of live motorsport was watching sprints / hillclimbs.

Don't worry you'll be fine. Most of the people there will be regular track track day attendees. Relaxed atmosphere and a good bunch of
lads, You'd be made welcome...

Might book the day off work and pop along to spectate, help etc.
For those that havent been to Curborough or sprinted before, its an excellent venue.
Plenty of run off area onto grass if you get it wrong, no messy "kitty litter" if you come off, excellent viewing for spectators, smooth
surface, not too technical etc.
Helmet a must !!
Also long sleaves, and gloves are advisable.
Bring a jerry can of fuel !!
I can take people for a lap in my "tin top" to look at lines, braking etc.
Bring lunch and no vehicles on the track between 12-1pm

No worries major. You''ll be more than welcome to pop down for a ride and/or a chat and a ride.
For the people that have sent me cheques could you please send me an email with your name, forum name and email address please. I'm having a
nightmare matching cheques to forum names
