Post by: Lucky Ed on 22, August, 2013, 09:36:43 PM
I'm thinking of booking up for MSE's trackday at Pembrey on Sat 21st Sept.

Anybody else fancy it? ;D

I've now booked for this event. It will probably be the first outing for the new engine, so I will have to take it easy for a few laps - or until the Red Mist comes down :o ;D

I think half days should be available, as I know Krazyken and RobP have done them in the past, but you'd need to give them a call as it doesn't appear on their website

Yes, the last one I did was a half day. Had to book on the day though so a bit risky. Did enjoy it though.

I'm looking forward to Pembrey this Saturday, especially as the forcast is looking ok - we got a little damp at
Combe last Friday so it will be good to get the slicks on and give the new engine a real test.

Anybody else fancy coming along - it's a bit of a trek but it's a great little circuit and well worth the effort ;D

I went and it was a great day. The first half was wet misty and slippy. First track day I have been on where you had to run with lights on. After lunch it dried nicely and great fun was had by all.
One unfortunate guy had an off into the barrier taking the nearside away in a kit car but he was fine. Lots of kits there MEV sonic, Riot Strikers. Westfield and a Jet Stream. This was a Cornwall kitcar that got ideas above it's station with a price of £35k when first developed, but it failed and I think this is the only one.
Star car of the day, came out of the massive covered trailer as it dried, an immaculate MK1 Lotus Cortina which races in a historic championship. The car was fast and the driver, who was not young, was pedalling it equally fast. He put many to shame with more power.

A good day

Nice write-up. Glad things dried out. I had a really good time at this track last time, gutted I couldn't do it this time.
