So rolling road.... And the circuit(s) must be on hilly ground too - it'll increase the cost of construction, but ya need something with blind brows & compressions and some off-camber stuff - a roller coaster in other words!
And a few possible permutations of loop available, culminating in the 5 mile "fainne mion" (mini-'Ring  )
Oh and a mile long straight in there somewhere for qtr mile events and general high speed fun.
And 98 octane Petrol available on site, aswell as car wash.
A camping area with basic facilities and an offy for flagins of cider would be a bonus for the annual 24heure De E30 race that'd be held, now that I think of it.
what else....

Even then les, you can't guarantee that you will get 50% off enough people who want to go. Many leave things till the last minute meaning that planning an event is very difficult. |
It is very difficult specially when trying to collect money but sometimes one has to be firm and lay down some rules, with the high charges that may be involved if numbers are not large enough this could be one of those times.
If people were informed early enough say through email or all members sent information by post, then, if they wanted to do the track day they would make sure their deposit was paid. If the track day was put back a week or two, to accommodate for the administrative duties. Because of these new high prices this is going to involve some good forward planning.

Just a bit on getting to Kirkistown. You do not have to go near Belfast. I believe the best route is Dundalk Newry Downpatrick Strangford (52 miles) Ferry(0.6 mile) to Portaferry and then about 7 miles to the track. The Ferry is �8.50 day return.
I think this shows that the journey is quite reasonable. So I would be on for Kirkiston in March

I really enjoyed the afternoon I did at Mondello the year before last. It certainly cleared the cobwebs off the Z3  I'd love to do another and I'm still a member but I no longer have a BMW does this mean I'd be excluded?
Cheers
Jon

I have a feeling that they are still 2005 prices.

Are there any provisional dates knocking about yet for the club BDDs in 2006?
