Dunno about Kirkistown. Everyone will have to drive up their car, go out on track and then drive home. Kirkistown is a fair auld spin - 3+ hour drive for everyone.

The Friday in Mondello will be OK for me but will it be OK for everyone else??

COme on lads!!

I'm well on for a weekday Better Driving Day - definitely count me in, Killian.

Actually, a lash off a greasy circuit with the rain bucketing down sounds like a bit of a giggle too, but I'd probably end up thumbing a lift back to Cork.

A weekday session may also mean we can get use of the full international circuit, as demand on the driving school would be less?

I think a weekday like a Friday would be good, and Mondello is closer than Kirkistown.

I would also be keen for a weekday in Mondello - since we have loads of notice, I know I could get a day off work.

Kirikstown sounds like a big effort - I would have to make a weekend of it with the missus.....then... ...then  ...then

Hiya Crispin, saw you on the N4 the other day.

A Friday afternoon would be a possibility for me - but I would be very concerned that we could not make 30 people up - so Mondello would have to half their price!

I'd consider Kirkistown now that the M1 is built - I wonder of Mark up north is around the forum and who could look into this?

Thanks Eamo,

World cup was great - obvoiusly dissapointed by the final result, but cannot compain about the quality of the final matches.

The only problem now is that the trip cost me so much money, all my plans for the Bavarian Beauty have been put on hold!

Cheers,

I would be OK for Mondello any weekday. Kirkistown too far for me especially as I would be hauling our track car on a trailer.

I think price needs to be confirmed first. I don't think we would get near 30 for a Friday - maybe 20 though.

I guess we need to see whats the max amount of money people are willing to pay for a track day, and this would determine the min numbers.
Perhaps a survey could be set up on the forum?

Need to keep in mind two things:

1) We may get a cheaper rate for the weekday booking

2) People might be willing to pay a bit more for the use of the full track

the full track will cost twice whatever the national section (the section we had before) costs.
However, instead of using the national section we could possibly use the international section next year.
I was told that the price is fixed regardless of the day of the week but I will do my best.

Anyway if 20 people could come on a friday then they could expect to pay approx 150yoyos. Would you be happy with that  ?

oops - should have said that that price would be for the same as last year.
