Keevil Track Day 5th March

[stupott901]

well I have gone and done it and bookrd myself on the Keevil track day on 5 th March , just praying for it to be dry now. Well i need some practice before we go as a club on the 11 July dont want to go showing myself up on the day.

Is any one else attending I know the karting event is on the same day ?

[Denzle]

Can you tell me where Keevil is Stu.      Denzle.   

[stupott901]

I denzle it's on the outskirts of Trowbridge just of the a350 in a village called steeple Ashton

It's handy for me as it's 5 mins away, I went to 1 last year and its quite a good track layout as well

I'll come along to spectate and maybe I can drag Dixie with me......I'll bring my crash helmet.

Thanks Stu...Got it on my map now.   

Its a good run down for me, but If I can make it on the day I will bring the camcorder and see what video footage I can grab.   

Is it at the airfield that I can see on my map, and can I get close enough to take some decent video.   Whats the layout.

I'm itching for my first track day, would this be suitable for a complete novice? If it is I'm tempted to join you...

[stupott901]

Tony you are more than welcome to be a passenger if you put up with my driving

Denzle if you look at the motor sports events they have the track layout on there, you should be able to get some footage I'm going to try and attach my bargain car camera as well

Dikkie yes it's a good track for novices it's where I did my first and only track day so far it's got some decent staights and corners and the orgainisers are really helpful I had a brill day last year

Denzle,

You may struggle to get decent photos/videos at any airfield circuit.

As there are no barriers to protect the public, spectators are confined to the paddock area only, which is also a safe distance from the circuit.

You'll need a huge zoom lens!

[Denzle]

Thanks Dave....

Me too. We've turned up in the afternoon in the past and just paid for half a day, as a lot of people leave just after lunch. I prefer it to Llandow as it's run better. If someone is behind you, (has a quicker lap time) even if your quicker on the straights, you're told to move over to the right and even slow slightly and wave them past. Nice long straight, followed by a long right hander, but there's that much run off, you could lose it there flat out, and just merrily spin to a smokey stop without hitting anything. Definitely recommend for a 1st track day!

[paintman]

That's a good idea about turning up for a possible afternoon session.......

We had a good day out at Keevil on saturday but it was bl**dy cold!

It was well attended with a wide range of saloons and kit cars from Atoms to old BMW's.

Went out with Stupott for a thrash around the curcuit in his Bec.......thanks again Stu.

David H was going well....don't think much got past him and everyone seem to be having fun.

[stupott901]

I had a look at the MG Photo website some good pics on there apart from the ones where people are overtaking me

Im glad you enjoyed the passenger ride Tony

The Atoms were fast too fast around the hairpin by the amount of times he spun there

but a good day even with the cold
