No lap time limit guy, can even take a bus

And anyway, you pay per driver, not per car! so you can rock up in two cars and still drive both and only pay for your one driver stamp...
We could make a really cool day out of this! Maybe we should think about next months track day? gives 4 or so weeks to get our cars ready...

I would like to join also. I hate standby it always interferes with other plans over weekends. Would have to sort out a few small things before then. Who would be going so far?

I will attempt to go for a track day
If you do decide to go with the bug, I would suggest over filling the engine oil just a tad to help with oil starvation through the corners. Even if you are not going fast a non baffled sump on a t1 engine can run dry quickly. A deep sump would obviously help a lot.
not to sound too brave but had a crack at Kyalami and ended up better than average on a superbike track day at the very first go
Anyone can go fast in a car, but on a bike... it's a completely different story. I've done a 1:14,1 in my bug around Zwartkops and only a 1:22 on my GSXR.

See what I mean.

18th and 19th of May is historic racing at Kyalami! 20th will be too much of a push for me, I still need to do a lot of race prep on my Birkin let alone play with the bug! June would be better for me. But I can always join you guys at a later stage in the year for a second track day...
Would be fun to run a few modified bugs around the track, can see if my NA car can keep up with your Charged cars...

We're racing at Kyalami, so June would be better if the cars hold up...
