Can't make this sadly, can't get the time off work (sucks being 1 of a team of 3 staff supposedly serving an entire city...try getting a day off when the other two are out the office). May be able to spectate but can't commit now

Wee bit far for me, and not sure I can take any holiday then either due to project limitations
Same sort of situation here, which is a shame because I've never been on a trackday and that's my birthday

Not long till this now, do we know how many OC'ers are going to be there?
If there's anyone not actually driving i need a boot to put my tool box it while im out on track

Forgot about this. Will go if I am free - if I can!
What do people do on a track day when they get here? Only been to some of the weekend major racing events where you have to back 1/2 mile away in a field car park.
I assume you can drive closer/near the pit lanes?

Dunno about Donnington but at my local circuit as a visitor you just drive straight into the paddock alongside the track day cars and are free to wander around.

Still planning on coming down with my lid to blag a few passenger runs if I may

Hell yeah! That was a good day's work - full rear end replacement.
Installed my clutch slave cylinder last night, just need a glamorous assistant to help me bleed it. R888s are going on Wed morning and hopefully I can cure the misfire between tonight and then.
Speaking of the misfire, which I'm looking at tonight, I am going to check for intake and vacuum leaks and if that failes to cure the misfire then move the injectors, plugs and coils over from my other car which is known working - in theory this should cover the majority of misfire basics. Anyone else got any suggestions of what to check / steal from the other 328 (which is SORN at the moment) which may help with the misfire?
I don't have a code reader sadly and no time to get to a garage.

I'm gonna be taking it easy, as I have done nothing to my car to prepare it. Not planning on doing many laps though.

What do we need if just spectating/passenger. I assume you have to sign a waiver of some sort.

Passengers - You need to pay, and have a lid.
Spectators - I've never had to do anything to spectate.

How reliable are the supras? I know clarkey wouldn't take the 300zx on track from fear of it exploding.
Any chance of a passenger ride on one of your few laps nath? Never been in one before.
