Tow rope!!!! Do you really want me to post the pic of your car on the way home from the last one we were at???

There is no point getting people to commit by paying up front as with every track day the numbers always appear low but people come out of the woodwork on the day.
I don't know why but I cannot assume that every member lives on the forum like most of us and may not be aware of the event until the night before.
TBH, I reckon there will be enough but not too many. I really amn't worrying about it.

As for what method, contact Gerry in the office and she will look after you.

CANNOT wait... some of us are heading down to the bmw-driver.net RR session in enfield in the morning of the 29th.... so as soon as thats done there will be a road race, sorry, slow procession to mondello via the back roads. BRING IT ON!!!

Yeah lads. We need to give Mondello a giddyup that day too. I know the last one was in the morning, but we didn't get on the track till nearly 9.30am what with trying to round em up to have the briefing etc..

As it takes some considerable time to process drivers and passengers - and to avoid the resultant delays, I'd suggest that people arrive before 1pm. Part of the problem at the last BDD was that people were still checking in when the induction was due to start. Mondello will not start induction until all drivers are available and this delays everything else.

Since the weather appears to be good for the weekend, the turnout could be high - so get there early!

Killian Doyle from the Irish Times (Emissions column in the ednesday Motoring supplement) has just confirmed that he will be along.  He won't be driving himself, but will be there as a passenger.

He drives an e30 316 himself (which he has refered to as the Bavarian Princess), and his wife (I think) has an e30 Touring.

EDIT:  Just realised that I forgot to tell him to bring a helmet, so if anyone has a spare one they could bring along, would it be possible to borrow it for him..?  Thanks.

Also, going to bring up the camcorder and am trying to figure out a way to fasten it to the car to make it "Mondello legal".  Any ideas?

 

Could take you out in the track car, either EoinO or myself should look after ya.

Could fasten the camera to the roll cage. Would be good and secure on that.

Sure we'll talk Saturday over breakfast

hi guys,

signed on / paid for this by phone yesterday, just a few quick questions...do you need to have a receipt, to show proof of purchase on the day, or i take it someone will have a master list of people that have pre-booked?

how close is the nearest petrol station to mondello, and could someone give me an idea whereabouts it is in relation to the main entrance. oh, assuming it won't have super unleaded, would i be better to fill the tank with super in dublin on the way out?

anybody fancy taking a mondello novice out for a few taster laps early on just so i can learn the basic corners etc? this would be really appreciated.

 

many thx,

justin

Anybody got an up to date map of the national circuit?
