Talking Track Day

I am in the process of organising a track day at RAF Marham in norfolk. We have had two now and mine is the only volvo thier as it is the safety car. Would like to see some other volvos on the next event. It is planned for early sept 06, it is and an opperational fast jet airbase so the surface is very good, all the run offs are very safe (my mate went off at 110mph and no damage at all!) and the cost is minimal as it is for charity (£60 quid for a full day!) that's a 4 mile lap and as many laps as you can squeese in! visit www.playtoymotorsport.com for the vid of my 854R doing a lap. please post interest and wether you want to do one day or all weekend.
I will post definite days and details soon but i'm after some rough numbers for now. TA!

When you've got the details, You'll probably find quite a few bikers up for a bit of Tornado track bashing on www.ridersite.ws and www.visordown.com as well as a few car drivers too.

I don't suppose you can pay to go up in a fighter jet can you? Strange request I know, but something I'd love to do....
