August Rookie Training

[racing59]

For those interested - there is a Rookie Training day planned for a week Saturday.

There will be Spotter Training available too. Cost for that will be £50 if enough come along.

There are four prospective Rookies lined up. Maybe more!!

There is still interest in the series from drivers, from all areas of the sport too.

PM Duane for more info - or to book in for training.

That’s good news, now I just need a licence (and money)

[Duane]

cost for Spotter training should be between £50 and £100 depending on numbers.

plenty going on right now, a rookie test on a saturday is perfect for us with hopefully some general testing as well.

That's Saturday 11th for those who didn't know when "a week on Saturday" was.

Apologies to our Newbury subscriber.... (he he!)

And yes, get enough along, and Spotter training will be as cheap as a night out on the beer with Tractor Boy (you're buying for him).

You've got a date, and you're not driving, ...... I'm fussy about my chauffeur's! ;)

[Stuart26]

If i am out driving and make a 35 mile detour could i come and take a look, or is it to be behind closed doors and no public.

Cheers
Stuart

It's not billed as a "public entertainment", people have come along to watch before. It's often an empty track though.

There will be a V8 test session or two running during the day as well.

It looks like I won't be there as my car won't be ready thanks to me being busy with work, which take priority.

What??!! Get your priorities right Rob! ;)

[racing59]

Yes, earning the money that pays for this very bad habit!!

[LessThanSte]

Rob, il drive it if you like? :)

[racing59]

please pass your bank account details now (for hoovering)

[Reynard]

Umm, I can think of many worse habits than taking a V8 for a whizz around the Rock... :cheese:

[racing59]

Taking it for 35 (plus warmup laps)(x2) whizzes around the Rock!!

[truckmonster]

any names of new drivers doing their rookie training?????

[car20]

Small question, Did steve hobday decide against coming out of retirement??

[racing59]

As far as I know, Steve had some issues with excessive water in his area which focussed his attention recently.

A return to the Rock has not been ruled out. As usual, it's down to Pounds, Shillings, and Pence.

Is eric cowley-booker going to have another go?
if anyone deserves to pass it is him, if he does i'll send him a card with a tenner in it?

[racing59]

When I had a word with Eric at the last meeting, his plans were to buy a car first, and then get sorted. I think his ideas is to try and get his head around it all before going out again.

So, if you fancy doing your spotter's training - you never know, you may be employed by a team next season, or sooner!!

That's a harsh word ;) merely weighing up whether the information is worthy of public disclosure. :D :D :D

[Jordygirl]

5. am i the only one cheesed off?
6. ignore the 5 above.

[Duane]

NO your not the only one cheesed off !!!!
