Garry and I bumped into the Norfolk Fives at the BTCC at Snetterton and I promised to post something on here about it…
It is a Monday but Opentrack include snacks, tea, coffee, photography and tuition (if booked in advance).
We’re going!
PS. I realise it’s the Monday following the rally and I’m not trying to poach anyone away from club events…
Sonds a good one to me I will see if I can get it booked
Andrew
Matt and I will be coming if he can get the day off work. Anyone else?
Neil

RED 5 from the Norfolk Fives is booked on with a guest driver see you all there. also going to main rally will be a busy weekend.
I had to wait for confirmation that I could have time off work, now thats sorted I’m booked, price has gone up a bit but looking forward to it.
Hello rachel_hw — are non high speeders/crumblies/b.o.fs like me allowed to attend as spectators and cheerers on and should we buy tickets somewhere? Promise I will come in my MX5. Regards Doug
That’s one of the great things about Track Days, they’re open to all to just turn up and watch if you want to but if you pay the organisers on the day you could sign up for a passenger wrist band which will let you have a ride with anyone who’ll take you. Your welcome to a ride in my car and I’m sure Pete Mac in Red 5 will take you round as well.

we have been looking at track days, at Oulton Park, on line with a view to next year & are a little confused about the noise issue (105 dba or 95dba drive by was quoted). always used some other cars so never thought about it.
how does one find out about the noise level from my car without first turning up? (my 5 is VERY loud)
The really nice thing I’ve always found about track days is how you can wander round and chat to just about anyone there and they’re really happy to!
Turning up costs nothing or you can buy a wrist band and sign your life away to be a passenger - most drivers will be happy to take you round if you ask nicely. 
My father in law found an iPhone app that’s a decibel reader which he tested against his own decibel reader and found to be reasonably accurate, although you might not want to base any decisions on it. I can’t remember the name of it at the moment - has anyone else used one??
My car’s not particularly loud so it hasn’t been a problem for us. The guy who runs OpenTrack (the organiser of this particular track day) has always been a friendly, helpful person to deal with in my experience so if you have any worries I’d suggest giving him a call.
thanks for that Rachel, I must know someone with an iphone (my mobile is a 7 yr old steam powered job)
it will be fun trying it out.
That’s me just assuming everyone has a smartphone!
Like I said, even if you did have one whether you decided to trust it enough to make decisions based on it is another matter.
It might be good to give you some idea how loud your car is but if you have to ask around anyway you might as well see if you know anyone with a dB meter and test it.

Some good ones!
It was a fantastic day after a late start due to fog but they ran on an extra half an hour at the end to try to make up for it.
Don’t know where the day went!
Rachel
Thanks for posting the event in the first place and sorry we didn’t get a chance to chat, I guess we were having too much fun[(yy)]
