Let me just point out that there were track days held on 24th & 25th of March 07 & 11th & 12th of March 06. I didn't see anyone wanting to boycott due to weather issues back then. I think you were a part of atleast one of these two trackdays as well.
March is a lot cooler that April/ May. (32, 37 C respectively as per Met figures) Spent the whole on sunday on the golf course in Bangalore heat and barely made it, now imagine Chennai

Since Farhan has given a thumbs up, are we going to see you on the 27th track side with your RS? Though I don't claim to be a know it all or as experienced as others here, it saddens to see people like you showing discrimination time and again.
No, you will not see me

1: Farhan said, keep to one's limits - bit difficult for me on track
2: Being a turbo - it runs at much higher temperatures unless I start cutting bits off my bodywork
3: Ever considered the equation between cost of Skoda parts and hard earned money!

Quote:
I think we might cancel the event, just drive down to Chennai on a weekday (or when we are free) and do the testing.
Please go ahead

I think not too long back there was a thread on why the track day scene was dead. Prime factor is lack of interest shown by people who always keep asking when the next trackday is but never turn up on D-day
If I say, I will come, I come, If I say I can't, I can't. I have always been up front. During the meet earlier this month, the talk was around end May, again that is doubtful temperature wise! I do not waste people's time by saying that I will come and never show up (unless my car plays up)

I think you need to understand "market dynamics" from the responses apart from mine

1: Time too short
2: Us delicate darlings from Bangalore don't like the heat (also my RS !)
3: We are quite tight on time - work wise

You might recollect that there was a good crowd for the last MMSC track day (the one where my car played up!). I have no knowledge of the Kari incidents so refuse to comment.

Call discrimination if you so wish, I call it common sense!
