At the time of writing this we're literally 1 week away from the first car show of the car show season! Castle Combe Performance Action Day is on Saturday 24^th April. From past experiences Castle Combe Action Days promise to be a great day out for all car clubs, chuck Club-306 into the mix and well...most of you know the end result.

Those that have already got your names down and paid the deposit you have nothing more to worry about unless you are bringing a passenger along. Each passenger needs to pay around £10 on the gate to enter. Meet and convoy details have been put together on a map for all to see, have a look and organise to join a convoy. If there isn't one in your area, put one together.

If you're pitting your beloved 306 against Folly, Quarry, The Esses and Bobbies (i.e. going on track!) you need to ensure that you have read and understood the rules and regulations imposed for this event. These are at the end of this post but can also be found HERE and on the Castle Combe website.

We look forward to seeing you there! Don't be afraid to say hello, we don't bite!

The important details are;

Main Club meet - before 7.30am at Morrisons in Chippenham (SN14 6UZ)
Castle Combe - for around 8.00am at (Obviously) Castle Combe Circuit, Chippenham (SN14 7EY)

ELIGIBLE CARS – Your cars must suit the theme of the day.
Castle Combe Action Days are defined as an event designed to allow members of the public to drive their cars on a race circuit in a non-competitive recreational manner. Timed practice, pace making and racing is strictly not permitted. While most road based race prepared cars may be permitted to participate subject to sound and other conditions, an Action Day is specifically designed to be an event for drivers of road cars.

Cars must be to MOT standards to be eligible for the general sessions. Although the scrutineers reserve the right to refuse any car track time which, in their opinion, does not conform to our general regulations.

Please ensure also that your car is eligible for the theme of the day i.e., Minis only on the Mini Day, Classics and Sports cars only on June 12th and so on.

SOUND LIMITS – Your members cars will be tested
All vehicles using Castle Combe Circuit are sound tested. The limits are enforced throughout the day and are set at 100d(b)A measured at 4500rpm on a static test with the sound metre set at ½ metre from the exhaust outlet. Your car, even if it is totally road legal, will not be allowed on the circuit if it does not meet these requirements.

Sound checks can be carried out prior to purchasing Track passes, and Merlin Motorsport located at the Circuit, offer a range of bolt-on “Silencing Accessories.”
