Billy Elliot trackday

No spins - not even a little trip onto the grass for old LMM - there must have been far too much grip out there

Cracking weekend - yet again - despite the cold - thanks everyone

There are a couple of bits of video which I'll stick on YT at the weekend - although no footage of you Paul for some reason

Camera is good, like the fast moving wheels.
And that guy in the Supra looks cool

He is one of the reply's I got from Bitchy Elliot after I e-mailed her regarding lost track-time!

Paul,

I only spoke to one person on the day in regards to a missed session. That person was a gentleman at lunch time just before I did the raffle, so 12.20 ish.
I remember saying ''sorry'' to that gentleman and explaining I had made a mistake with the timetable and giving him a new copy. I did also say that he can make up any lost time during the open pit lane sessions and he was fine with this.
If this was you then if you actually were not fine with this all you had to do was say. There's not much I can do about it after the event.

As you can imagine I was busy on the day but I never said this to anyone as an excuse not to help them out and I dealt with everyone that asked a question to me. I know this for a fact as I never actually got a chance to even go to the toilet before midday!!
We did have 5 places available in the morning but these went very quickly, so if you turned up after they had gone and asked if there was a chance to swap groups, I would of said no as there was no room for movement. I may have said the day was busy but not that I was busy.

I'm sure there were other people who missed a session but none of them have chosen to make a complaint about it.

I didn't assume you would have time to get fuel based on the fact that there is a petrol station outside the circuit. I know where the nearest petrol stations are and there are 4 before you have to go to Chippenham town centre. It's not the organisers job to go and check all petrol stations to find out if they are selling the fuel their customers use and I can not possibly know what each car uses. Its your responsibility to fuel your car. It was brought to my attention in the briefing that Super un leaded was not available at the one outside and the Texaco down the road. The track manager and their staff plus people who knew where to get super unleaded from were happy to tell anyone who asked during the day where the nearest super unleaded petrol station was -all you had to do was ask.

I actually work for Easytrack, Book a Track, MSV, Autotrack, Lotus On Track and many more track day companies and believe me they do not all run without a hitch.

We could be going backwards and forwards with this matter. If all you want is an apology then I am very sorry that you missed 15 mins of your track time and I will make sure this doesn't happen again.

I hope this ends the matter as you have actually put a damper on what was a successful and enjoyable day.

Thanks

Katie Elliott

Biyatch!!!!!!!!!

How condescending is that reply?

"Bitchy Elliot" indeed - you just about summed up my feelings there! Hnnm, maybe one to avoid next year.

......ah, yeah, but don't quote me on that. "James, we're doing a track day, you fancy joining us......oh, but I should point out, it's that infamous Billy Elliot thing" and my reply having completely forgotten about this would be "oooh! Cars going round in circles, count me in!" I'm curiously unpredictable that way
