Lotees.org.uk and Track Torque Racing are running a little event on Saturday 27th March. In return for a £10 contribution to the "Help for Heroes" charity you can have your suspension geometry checked & set and have a few laps of the test track at Tockwith near Wetherby - or just come along for the barbecue and some tyre kicking.

Full details will be on http://www.lotees.org.uk/ soon in the Private Events section.

That sounds interesting, what sort of kit do they use for the geometry check?

Laser jig - I've had mine done - turns out my chassis is straighter than an Elise :D


P.S. - this is the circuit as far as I know : http://maps.google.co.uk/maps?f=q&sourc ... 5&t=h&z=16

Update - due to circumstances beyond our control (i.e. someone wanting to pay use the kart track) - the event has had to be rescheduled for 10th April instead. The circuit is based on the triangle/arc below and slightly left of the kart track, it's about a mile long with some nice little chicanes on it.

And I forgot to mention - there is a booking form which MUST be completed and returned to me. If you want to attend this, please sign up as a member of LoTees and download it from the thread in the Private Events section.

Saturday was a great day with a fantastic turn out. After starting out by not being too bothered about going onto the track I realized by the end of my laps how addictive it could become.
