Found it (but well hidden away!) It doesn't want to let me pay by card, so will get on the the dog tomorrow.

I'd love to participate, but the car won't be up to scratch in time, next year.
NRW 581W Sprint
On the motorway no one can hear me sing!
Construed as a public service, self preservation in reality.

Re: All Triumph track day at Castle Coombe 2016
today managed to pay.....as others have found, they emailed about receiving the payment, but it is awaiting processing.
Now, which car? I plan to take the spitfire, but the Toledo could be a fair substitute....(but then again the 75%+ power to weight ratio gain by using the Spit holds a very large appeal!)

75% Power to weight ratio gain between a slant powered Toledo and a Spitfire????? Does the Spit have a Merlin then?cliftyhanger wrote:today managed to pay.....as others have found, they emailed about receiving the payment, but it is awaiting processing.

Re: All Triumph track day at Castle Coombe 2016
But it is only an 1800, and has a crappy exhaust manifold off a focus. That bit I plan to work on, but don't hold your breath! So not as many horses as it could have.

Re: All Triumph track day at Castle Coombe 2016
They have my money too! Last year I didn't get so much as a piece of paper for confirmation but my name was on their list when I checked in at Coombe. Best to take your order confirmation number, just in case!
Don't forget you will need a crash helmet and to have your arms covered when on track (assuming you don't have a Nomex race suit)
See you all there!
