I'll pass the info on to my mate with his Octy Vrs diesel, and see if he'll let me have a go with him.

Dave,

I would love to do it...

I would actually.

Problem for me at least is first day at new job is a few hours before, although it may happen.
Not sure runing of to a trackday is qquite the right message in the first 72 hours.

However words have already been exchanged about *us* doing one, thats us, as in my new boss and his brother. Although again, I'm not sure a January day is best for giving it a go at oulton

I'll float it out, I might be able to pop out at lunch

Oulton Park is a great circuit! Hope they do the full circuit, get a great hairpin at the bottom near the lake then!

I may come along and watch too.

Funny yo mention that place...the triangle that is.

Found a barn conversion near to it

Unfortunatly also found quite a few other houses in the area for sale, so I suspect something is coming or has come to upset the balance. We'll see, I'm not usre if I prefer the idea of 40 miles of dual carriage way or 26 miles of B road for a commute.

Either way Oulton is tempting...maybe I'll broker a day of in advance...

I hope to be able to juggle the figures and balls enough to get a venue for another track day for all briskoda/ freedom folk. Just talking about it now, well after another beer.
