Hi
I am a relatively new S1 owner (just 3 months now) and will be along to join on the 23rd.

In the meantime I am posting because I am going on my second track day at Elvington on the 10th. There are only 6 cars in total booked on the day so lots of space. Wondering if anyone else is interested.
I know short notice but it promises something very unusual: dry weather!!!

One other Elise going, any one here?

Hope to meet some of you on the 23rd.

Tom

Hi Tom, Welcome to NYLOC

Who is running the day at Elvington? I've not been there for a few years now has the amount of gravel reduced? I may pop along for 1/2 a day as I'm off......

Hi thanks

Still some pebbledash effect I'm afraid, but I guess the fewer cars the less the flying stones.

Javelin welcome 1/2 dayers especially if they have so few cars

Welcome along Tom, we're old hands at eating Terrys burgers on here I may have popped along but I'm working and the car isn't up to a trackday at the moment

What other cars have you had then ? you sound like an elvington burger eater yourself ?

hope you have a good day and hopefully see you on the january snow covered elvington day in the new year

Thanks Matt

I have actually come from the dark side, being a 2 wheeler for many many years. Have decided after too many near misses in the last few years to go 4 wheels. Much more fun and probably not so painfull and costly (I hope!!)
I have just been told no catering tomorrow due to numbers, I will miss those burgers!!!!

Surprised they are going to run it with 6 - doesn't bode well for the future

How much is it for the day now ?

According to their website £129 so I'm not really surprised at the low numbers when you can get a Croft day for that

I was booked in at croft last Sunday but it was called off because of flooding.

So next best tomorrow.

Same here, too many near misses and a few hits from riding bikes. Dont think my luck would have held out any longer with 2 wheels on the road.







PS, having an off in the Elise might be less painful, but can be equally costly





Have a good day at Elvington and come and say 'Hi' at the Buckles to let me know how you are finding the Lotus compared to your bikes.

Thanks Mark

That back end came round v quick!!!

How was the car?

Hi Tom,
How did the tarck day go? I had booked my first one at Croft last weekend as well. Been looking for soemwhere else to go!

Had a great day thanks. Due to low numbers (7 cars at the start of the day!!!!) they set up a short circuit with lots of turns on the main apron. But it was dry and sunny and relatively warm and by lunchtime we had about 20 cars.
A good number for the track with open pitlane.
2 S1s and an S2 plus 2 Atoms and the new GTR which was interesting!
