i was just browsing the board and reading some old threads, etc. its reminded me about a trackday i was going to start years ago (date on the thread was 2003).
i did a part rule list at the time:
ok. im thinking on this one. the basics (if it goes on) would be:
1.
cars must cost max £200 and be legitimately brought.
2.they must have an MOT, no matter how short on the day.
3.
they must be "road legal" or at least close enough to pass the track scrutineers (if we have any).
3a.
any mods by ripping the car to bits to lighten it are permissable if it isnt structurally derogatory.
4.
the fee for the track time will fall to the entrants and/their spectators so the more we can get the less it will cost.
5.
passengers should be allowed if the track allows it.
6.
donations for the club and/charities should be taken at a minimum of £10 per entrant (only fair as it is for fun).
7.
the decision of the organisers will be final.
8.
NO CHEATING
9.
if you're gonna cheat NO GETTING CAUGHT
10.
the full rules to follow if there is enough interest and/a moderator or club type bod gives it the nod.
well now im thinking this could still be a good idea as i'd quite like to raise some cash for the air ambulance after what they did for Richard Hammond (and do for loads of other people all the time).
so how about it? old, poo cars, touring car rules, any mods as long as they cost max £50 and they're safe, a load of people used to driving much better/faster cars (us) and a track.
i think to make it worthwhile we should split the profits half for the club and half for the air ambulance.
could invite people off other clubs/ forums too if track time allowed and have a bit of competetiveness?
