RAF Marham Charity Track Day Weekend

RAF Marham would like to invite you to a Charity Track Day Weekend on Saturday 3rd and Sunday 4th October 2009.

The track uses a combination of the airfield's main runway and taxiways resulting in a track that is around 3 miles long consisting of wide, smooth tarmac and concrete with lots of safe run offs. There will be approx 1 mile of the main runway in use with many sweeping curves and chicanes along the taxiways.

The Track Days will run from around 9am to 5pm on both days, split into either 30 or 60-minute sessions or open pitlane depending on numbers of participants. All the necessary facilities, such as toilets, catering, drinks, marshalling, medical and fire cover to support the event will be on hand. The atmosphere and event is relaxed, enjoyable and safe.

All participants who will be going onto the track, either as driver or passenger, will need a helmet. Race suits are not needed, but natural fibre clothes with full sleeves and legs are strongly recommended. Cars must be safe and in road-worthy condition, with normal seat belts as a minimum, and a fire extinguisher secured safely in the car (a plumbed in system is not necessary). If the car is driven to the event then it must have valid insurance, road tax and MOT. For those driving open or soft top cars, irrespective of whether the hood is raised or lowered, it is strongly recommended that appropriate extra rollover protection is properly fitted to the car, unless the car's windscreen structure was specifically designed to provide such protection.

Please note, due to lack of space, only vehicles driving on the event, and tow vehicles where applicable, will be allowed access - all passengers must arrive in participating vehicles.

Note we now have to implement a noise limit to reduce impact on local residential areas. No unsilenced exhaust systems will be permitted. A noise limit of 105 dB will be enforced (measured at 0.5m and 45 degree angle from exhaust exit at 2/3 of max rpm). Cars exceeding this limit will not be permitted on track.

Sharing a car is permitted (i.e. alternating drivers between sessions) and drivers are allowed to carry one passenger in the car onto the track, but passengers must also comply with regard to helmet and clothing and be over 16 years of age. All drivers and passengers will be required to sign a disclaimer. Spectating is not a possibility unless the individual is coming to assist someone who is driving - the reason for this is quite simple - the event insurance premiums and Health & Safety requirements go through the roof astronomically otherwise, so by restricting it to participants and assistants, it makes the event manageable, safer, more relaxed and enjoyable and importantly keeps the cost down to you.

Prices:

Single day - £70 for car and first driver. Additional drivers or passengers are an additional £10 each.
(e.g. Car and 1 driver, £70; Car and driver plus 1 additional driver or passenger, £80; etc)

Full weekend - £120 for car and first driver. Additional drivers or passengers are an additional £10 each.
(e.g. Car and 1 driver, £120; Car and driver plus 1 additional driver or passenger, £130; etc)

Note every penny goes to charity. Payment must be made in advance, cheques need to be made payable to Service Funds RAF Marham and of course signed and dated. We are expecting a high number of participants so it is advisable to get your name down early. Please note cheques will not be cashed until 2 weeks after 3rd Sept, please ensure sufficient funds are available in your account.

It is important to note that the track does attract stones. The track will be swept prior to the event to minimise stones but if you drive directly behind the car in front along the main straights your car could be subject to stone chips. If you’re worried about this it is advisable to fit bonnet protection or drive with this in mind throughout the event.

PLEASE NOTE: RAF Marham is a front line operational air base and as such, any operational commitments on that weekend would lead to the Track Day being cancelled. This is however quite unlikely but prior notice will be given and any money paid up front would be fully reimbursed.

Important:
For security reasons, every person entering the Base including all passengers must be security vetted in advance. Everyone entering the Base will be required to present Photo ID. Your forum organiser requires the following details and payment from drivers and passengers by 3rd September 2009 to allow time for the security team to check everyone. The details required are listed below and it must be stressed that they will be held in the strictest of confidence. Please note that after this date, only changes to vehicle details will be permitted.
As before, we are inviting specific forums so can I ask that the details here are not published on any other forum. May I also ask that no inter forum place trading takes place. We have been allocated 10 spaces for each day, however there will be a reserve list in case we need more spaces (which won't be a problem)

Required details:

PAYMENT by Cheque payable to Service Funds RAF Marham
Name (surname, forename)
Full postal address
Tel No.
Date of Birth
Place of Birth
Passport No. (if possible)
Car make, model and colour (of both track car and tow vehicle if your car is trailored)
Car registration (of both track car and tow vehicle if your car is trailored)
Day you are attending: Sat or Sun or weekend

Don't forget all the money raised goes to some very worthwhile charities!
I hope to provide you with all the information for the upcoming weekend – but if you have any queries please get in touch, PM or email.

PS If you go to Cliosport forum and do a search on Marham to find the last few years' antics!

Add your name to the list and PM me your details and i'll get details back to you
