| Just a quick question, trying to help with organising some track days. Would anyone be interested in participating in any in 2015? more than likely going to be around the Edinburgh area and will be similar to the 22b/MLR Sprint type events where it's one car on track, much better IMO. | |

| Not many people on here into driving their Scoobs on the track, more into polishing and posing. | |

If I was lucky enough to have : a) a spare one b) any driving skill whatsoever then I'd love to have a go. As it is, I'll stay home polishing my only car while you show us the way | |

It's awesome fun, don't be scared of taking it out on track, imagine going out on the roads to Stanhope with no other cars on the road and no limits, it's fecking brilliant. | |

| Well yeah will be good, but I very much doubt I'll be competitive at all. Would be in class 2. But I plan to drive to and from the events lol | |

| think am gonna have a go at a sprint next year. thing i found with a trackday I got a bit bored after a while just driving round. at least if its against the clock your gonna push it even if it is just for one lap at a time. probs less stressful on the car aswell. | |

| That's the sort of track days that's being arranged mate, against the clock and similar to a sprint setup Here's a video from my last one, it's a bit competitive https://youtu.be/yBjsDYSPP40 | |

| Track days are good for seat time and making changes to cars,
Sprints are ideal for keeping you entertained. Where is the vid from Alan ? | |

| Looks good, very suitable for good torque or cars with less power, | |

| Yeah was second to a lad with a hawkeye, extra torque out the corners had me beat. Plus the Lagg on my turbo didn't help matters. All sorted now tho, hopefully get the motor back tomorrow with a new heart | |
