Probably a better idea to get the lap times once your home...

It will now be your quest to beat those times and if you don't, watch out for the tyre walls.

Yeah thats what i thought, read the thread about rolling his car, its a crying shame, especially if he was planning on going to Brands soon. I feel for you mate.

On a similar note (without hijacking!) i just looked at the brands/snetterton etc track day prices and it is very reasonable indeed, £75 full day at one of the tracks!

that is a good price! a customer of my friends had a trakc day at goodwood and apparently an open pit day was neigh on 500 odd i think it was...then again looking at the cars not supprised n doubt they would want just any body in there little old mini on the track with ferrari's and one off cars there.

im not sure but i was given a voucher for a tracky for my birthday, obviously that wont happen now, well not before the voucher expires, AM SAVING AND WILL BE GETTING ANOTHER MINI, because ive got a nicely modded engine, that needs a shell! and yes i did roll it on the road, on the a20,between the roundabout thats for leadscastle, and hollingbourne, if you drive through their youll see, where it went, theres skiddymarks, everywhere, a nice gouge in the road, a crator in the pavement, and glass everywhere and a 10ft section of fence flattened, you can still see wre i hit the grass verge, i hit it backwards :thumbsup: , so it didnt go side over side, it flipped front over back twice, found out today that the seatbelt had ripped apart as well, check your seatbelts!!!

Oh no! Sounds like a crash and a half mate!

Were you using normal belts or harnesses?

I agree it probably won't be with open pit, but then again i'm not expecting to be doing much in the pits lol!

Put polycarb windows on your next projects, they dont break like glass which is very harmful. I had a bad accident years ago and all my injuries were caused by some nasty glass bits..
