Track days etc 

Posted By : Alice Hickman, 03-Sep-2003, 11:25pm

Hiya all
Nothing to do with Triumphs, but I have a mate who would like to take his 'normal' car round a track! (Volvo Estate) Do any tracks organise events where you can take any sort of car round?
As for me, I am waiting for the next track day the TSSC are at so I can take the Spitty through her paces
Cheers
Ally

  Ally,
  
  You could try www.bookatrack.com they seem pretty good from what I've heard.
  
  As for his choice of car there was a Volvo Estate used to race in the BTCC (see link)
  
  
  
  Cheers,

      I hadn't actually noticed till you pointed it out...there are so few women on here you wouldn't think it was so hard to tell us apart would you?

        You'r right there aren't many women on this messageboard. Hope you're notting letting Craig off that lightly? So, err, err, do you know any messageboards that are mostly women?
        
        I feel a 'runningamuck' moment coming on.
