I've done Loton in the past but more recently Gurston (2012)as it's in our championship plus a lot closer to me.

I'm planning on doing some when normal life stops getting in the way. I'm going to pay Shelsley a visit as a spectator sometime this year too. I've never been, my nearest is Harewood.
Looking forward to seeing how it goes for you.

I did a school day at loton park last year and really enjoyed it, gave me a taste of what to expect.
I've booked a school day at shelsley in June so that should be fun, then I'll do an event there later in the season.

For some reason the hills are a bit daunting for me, I am not sure why but just love speed so as yet have not ventured into the hills. They say it tones you as a driver but at the moment like the fact that I can make a mistake and not take the car home in a bag of bits its only me so do not listen to me I am sure you will love it.

'Take the car home in a bag of bits ' I'm nervous enough already

I've also joined the shenstone car club, they run the events at curborough.
What's the sprint at curborough like?

It's short but some events do a 2nd lap . It's technical and needs practice and concentration to get a competitive time. They allow tyre warming as does Loton. Personally I loved it and did three events a year there from 2001 to 2006 , within our ACSMC Championship but don't get up there since stopped doing a full season. For most people it's a 1st , 2nd and 3rd gear circuit . I have tried 4th on the finish but it wasn't quicker.

I am going to give curb a go this year so will see you there.

Lol.....good luck with that, did it last year and it was....interesting
