So please see details below....Sign on starts at 09:10 with breifing at 09:30 and track time at 10:00...

Make sure you have long sleeves and a crash helmet but you can hire from Llandow if you don't have one....£20 with a £70 deposit.

I have told Mad Chris to keep the old ones and when I go up to get the car tomorrow will have alook at them to see how bad they are..If I can put them on and travel to the track I'll change them the day before....Don't want to run the risk of being pulled by the local Police though..and I will have to drive home and I'm sure there will be no rubber left on them...

Must be at least 1.6mm all over the face of the tyre for an MOT pass (form memory) - I reckon LLandow would take that off a tyre on a heavy car in a day!

Seems to be the front sidewalls that suffer thoiugh rather than the rears...
