[The Vee]

what about 49 vr4's and a v6 24 :-D
i'd be up for this one and would have a couple of rounds (if that is possible) or as you say if enough people go for it then a club session would be good.
oh and one 14 year old (and me)
Do we need helmets for this one?

[SGHOM]

:wavey: If there are enough of us !

[Wodjno]

:wavey: If there are enough of us !
YUP you can count me in :laugh: on one of these weekends I'M about 14 a.. Year old joy rider with not a care in the world ... Bring on those Corners . :-D .. BY the way if u hadn't cottened on yet :D ................ THATS A YES FROM ME ! ! ! ! !

[Jimbo]

Silverstone?!?! Definately, definately, definately!!! Hanger Straight @ 150mph, woohoo!

Ohhhyeah, that's a BIG YES from Jimbo!

[Physician]

Count me in ..... 15 mins track time and 2/3 adults including me.

Richard

[zentac]

I will be up for a track session but Ive already got stand tickets with the FTO Owners Club

[HJM]

We'll be there - 2 adults - would love to try the track, but don't think Heath or the car will be ready by then :( (track virgin!) , so stand only, please :)

[Nick Mann]

Okay, peeps! The funds need to be with the organisers by 23rd July. This means you need to send me or the club your money before that.

Please can all attendees send me £10 per person (adult) for the entrance ticket? It is £19 on the day, but you will not get a car pass for the stand unless paying in advance. I think we will be in the 'VR-pug', so you'll have to put up with a non-mitsy parked at the end again, I'm afraid!

Do the people on the track want to hire a club session? I'm guessing no, as £800 between 6 of you looks a bit pricey! If not, do you want a track session with the muppets? If so please send £25 for the track session as well.

Let me know how you want to pay. As long as I can send the cheque off on monday 19th, we should be okay.

Cheers boys and girls!

Nick.

[SGHOM]

I'm in !! & I'm ready for a track session with the 'muppets' also.
Hopefully a few more will want to join me on the track. hands up anyone ?? :D

[Jimbo]

Hopefully a few more will want to join me on the track. hands up anyone ?? :D

:boing3:

C'mon peeps, answer the rallying call! Less muppets + more Galants + SILVERSTONE = :boing3: :boing3: :cool1: :-D :boing3:

( yes, I've had one or two swift halves of mild or three watching TG :$ )

[The Vee]

OK Nick I have the reddies waiting for you. £20 for 2 and £25 for the track. How do you want it. Cheque to you any good - let me know.
Andy

[Simon]

Track Day Warrior requesting permission to attend! Although between then and now ive 2/3 other track days!!!! :rolleyes5 i'll make sure she lasts until then ;) :-D

please put me down for two entry tickets and two track sessions........
£70 cheque ready to post to you personally, please PM me your home address, thanks :)

[Simon]

Claire has just slapped me! :sad3: She thinks the above statement regarding " i'll make sure she lasts until then........" related to her!!!!! :$ :lipsrseal :$ :lipsrseal ....for clarification i ment the car.......of course ;) :)


Nick...........thanks for the PM :)

[Kieran]

Claire has just slapped me! :sad3: She thinks the above statement regarding " i'll make sure she lasts until then........"

After typing, deleting, typing and again deleting several vitriolc and suggestive comments for fear of reprisals from both Claire:whip: and Alex :scelp: I shall now forget this thread and move on!!!! :uhoh2:


/Sound of Kieran running for the hills! :scared1: :end:

[Nick Mann]

Claire has just slapped me!

PMSL!!

Looking forward to seeing everyone. Will post people as paid above when the cheques drop on the mat or when people tell me they have electronically transferred.

[Wodjno]

Hi Nick .. Is it a cheque you require or have a pay pal facility set up ?? :dozey:

[Wodjno]

Hmmm .. should of waited 1 more minute .. :D Cheque is on it's way !! :laugh:

[bonsai boy]

can you add me to the stand please.
had allready booked track time and tickets

[RED]

Hi Nick

Can you add me and Marcus. Can we pay you by paypal so you've got the money for Friday :) Would love to be on the stand but do we have to be there at a certain time? or can we just get there? :-D

(Sorry it's abit last minute :$ )

[Jimbo]

Cheque in the post Nick, you should have it tomorrow. :)

[enigma]

I suppose it would be rude not to!!!

Book Helen and I for the stand and I will have 1 track session............if I ever get round to fixing my brakes!

Just a word of warning

EVERYONE THAT ATTENDS SHOULD MAKE SURE THAT THEY HAVE PLENTY OF PAD LEFT OR THAT THEY SWITCH TO RACING PADS FOR THE DAY. ALSO IT IS WORTH CHANGING YOUR BRAKE FLUID FOR DOT 5.1 BEFORE RUNNING. TRACK DRIVING IS SERIOUS FUN, BUT WILL SERIOUSLY REDUCE THE LIFE OF YOUR BRAKES!

thank you :D

[Nick Mann]

You have PM regarding payment.

The stand will be reached by a special parking pass of some kind. If you aren't able to arrive with anyone, I will post the pass to you. I'll organise all that after I've booked it! Often we try to convoy the last few miles.

That was two entry tickets for me Nick, mate - don't forget Mrs Jimbo!

[bonsai boy]

got my track pack to day
no passengers :sad3:
maximum noise vehicle is allowed to make is
98 db at 45 deg, half a metre from outlet :sad3:
no in car video cameras allowed however fixed or held :sad3:

[SGHOM]

no passengers :sad3:

98 db at 45 deg, half a metre from outlet :sad3:
:
NO PASSENGERS ?? :argue: & 98 db ??? I came in spot on 100db at castle combe ! mmm :rolleyes5 :rolleyes5

[zentac]

got my track pack to day
no passengers :sad3:
maximum noise vehicle is allowed to make is
98 db at 45 deg, half a metre from outlet :sad3:
no in car video cameras allowed however fixed or held :sad3:

but at what rpm is the noise restriction ?

[bonsai boy]

it dont say .
prob same as combe 4500 rpm.
at combe mine was 105 db
hence they would not let me play :(

[Nick Mann]

All now booked.

I should get details in the next two weeks - as soon as I have got any details, I'll post up as much info as I can.

In the mean-time, are we hotelling on saturday night?

[Nick Mann]

All cheques banked today. Sorry for the delay.

2 outstanding payments. I have now paid for you up front - please don't let me down!

And as per previous post - ANYONE FOR A HOTEL THE NIGHT BEFORE?

[enigma]

I am up for some hotel action! ;)

[bonsai boy]

spoke to someone from trax about noise issue's


they say that the cars will be tested at 75%
of the cars max rpm.

doing my sums i think this is going to be a lot harder than combe.

[Spirit]

7000rpm red line x 75% = 5250rpm and Combe was 4000rpm if I recall - sh1t that sounds like it could mean problems for some :(

[HJM]

All cheques banked today. Sorry for the delay.

2 outstanding payments. I have now paid for you up front - please don't let me down!

And as per previous post - ANYONE FOR A HOTEL THE NIGHT BEFORE?
We are intending to stay in a hotel the night before - is anyone else?

Does anyone know the best place to stay?

[Nick Mann]

I think there is an Ibis in Northampton? Some good roads from that direction - A spurt along the A45 and then some cracking lanes round towards Silverstone village!

Shout for hotelling please chaps! Lets get some idea of numbers!

[The Vee]

I'm working the previous evening but woukd be happy to meet you at the hotel in the morning for the convoy in.

[HJM]

Shout for hotelling please chaps! Lets get some idea of numbers!
Obviously, slow movement on this one - so we are going to press ahead and book a room at the Ibis, Northampton. Hope to see some of you there !

Heath

[SGHOM]

Obviously, slow movement on this one - so we are going to press ahead and book a room at the Ibis, Northampton. Hope to see some of you there !

HeathShall we try the Ibis hotel in wellinborough ?? again !! :rolleyes5 we've stayed there twice already, & at this rate we may may get a group / regulars discount ?? :-b
They also do a late morning breakfast [ around 11.30 AM !! :$ :$ ] should be about the right time for HJM !! :lipsrseal :laugh: :laugh:

[HJM]

:lolz: Trax IS an afternoon do, isn't it :p

So, which hotel are you all going to be at - Northampton or Wellingborough?

[Nick Mann]

Wellingborough adds 20 miles (10 each way) to most peoples journey over Northampton. I suggest the Northampton hotel.

/EDIT

Scrub that, its £2 more per room and more awkward to get to. Wellingborough could be better!

[Nick Mann]

I'm going with Wellingborough.

Ibis don't do group discounts. You can get a 10% discount with an Ibis card, but this costs £80 and only lasts one year.

Phone the Ibis Wellingborough on 01933 228333. Rooms from £36.95 are still available at the moment.

[Brind]

I'm not completely sure I can make this which is why I've kept my mouth shut.

Regardless of tickets, is there any chance of a stand pass? or did you have a select number of these?

[Nick Mann]

I'm hoping to blag a few extras. They haven't arrived yet, and probably won't for a week or so. When they do I will be offering any spares out. Would be good to see you there!

[Brind]

Okay, cheers mate.

It looks good and what with everyone talking about it, it looks like I may have to go.

[Phil S]

I'd be interested too if there are any spares going......

[Nick Mann]

Saturday night at the Wellingborough Ibis!

Myself, Interlec and BDA are booked in at £36.95 per room.

Phone 01933 228333 to book your room.

Ibis Wellingborough (http://www.ibishotel.com/ibis/fichehotel/gb/ibi/3164/fiche_hotel.shtml)

[HJM]

Just booked :)

[SGHOM]

Just booked :)
& an early morning call Heath ?? :lipsrseal :D :D

[HJM]

Yes, please Derek - say about midday :-D

[enigma]

:lipsrseal

[Wodjno]

Do they do Brekkie at the IBIS .. ????

[Nick Mann]

They do. I think it's about £4 a head? Ask when you book - you can decide if you want it or not on the day.

[enigma]

And there is a McDonalds next to it!

[RED]

:sad3: We've had some really bad news about my brother and so we aren't going to be able to make it on the 5th so on a brighter note you all get out of buying me a drink for my birthday ;) Seriously though I'm not sure if Santa Pod is on either. Nick should have 2 paid up tickets and stand pass so Nick if you could pass these on to whoever needs any I would be grateful and hope that you all have a great time and that the weather holds out for you :rolleyes5 I won't be around on the forum much either but I'll try to pop in from time to time to see what you are all up to and to check out the piccies of Trax and the Pod but you won't be able to get rid of me quite that easy and in the words of one of the greatest bodybuilders of all time "I'll be back"

[Nick Mann]

Sorry to hear it. It's a shame you can't make it, but family has to come first. Hope whatever it is can be resolved soon.

[RED]

Cheers Nick. Could be a very long journey though :sad3: Once again sorry we won't be there and have a good one :)

[zentac]

Im booked in the Ibis, not sure what time I will arrive though.

[zentac]

Dont forget you will need .....

Helmet.
Driving License.
Clothing to cover arms and legs.

[Nick Mann]

This is not the best news, guys!

You can't choose which session on the track you get, you just get given it.

We have been given 8:00am briefing, 9:00am track. I suggest that means we need to be at the gates for when they open at 7:00.

That is going to mean an early start for some. I can try and negotiate on monday, but I think it is unlikely that we will get moved.

Everyone set your alarms!

[Nick Mann]

If you are not intending to convoy in with us, please PM me your address to receive your tickets in the post.

[BraindG]

Crap i forgot to send my cash..

let me sort that out today
also the hotel.. eeek!

[Jimbo]

If you are not intending to convoy in with us, please PM me your address to receive your tickets in the post.

I'm up for some convoy action :-b

What time are you guys setting off from the hotel?

[zentac]

Do you mean convoying from the digs?

[Jimbo]

I assumed the convoy was from the IBIS....I'm probably staying at my girlfriends in Daventry so I won't be too far away.....but a 7am arrival, EEEK!

At this rate I'm going to be driving silverstone with no brakes, leaky gearbox, worn tyres AND HALF ASLEEP!!! :laugh:

Go Nick! Give 'em some grief, mate! If not, copious amounts of caffeine needed!!

[Simon]

Change of plans...Claire now has to work so i'll be on my own......i'll travel up early Sunday morning. I would have to drive past Silverstone to meet you guys at the hotel to then travel back therefore can you (Nick) please post my tickets etc passes. I'll still have my two entrance tickets as i may be able to drag someone else along. Ive PM'd you my home address. P.S Any news of my second track time at Trax? Or is it a no go.

Thanks :)

[Nick Mann]

Right.

I have 3 stand passes up for grabs. As far as I remember, pezza and Brind have both expressed an interest.

CVR4 members will have first priority, then anyone who wants to attend.

Also, Reds tickets are available, two adult entry tickets @ £10 each.

Rules for Track attendees:

1. Get up flippin' early!
2. No passengers.
3. Ensure you have Helmet and License.
4. Car must be road legal.
5. No cameras, however fixed or held.
6. The briefing session must be attended.
7. Arms and legs must be covered.
8. Headlights must be covered with tape.
9. Noise limit - as discussed previously.

Let me know where you want your entry tickets to go, if you will not be at the Ibis on sunday morning at 6:00am!

[Jimbo]

Dont forget you will need .....

Helmet.
Driving License.
Clothing to cover arms and legs.

Does anyone know of any special requirement on the helmet? My biker colleagues seem to think that the helmet needs to be of a racing grade (whatever that means!?!), but I didn't think it would be this strict.

Anybody got any ideas? What sort of helmets have you guys got? Do they need to be full face, etc? Blimey, too many questions :)

[zentac]

They are not normally that strick and dont check. Ive never seen them check the noise levels either.

[SGHOM]

What time are you peeps planning on arriving at the hotel on saturday ??
Last time I was a bit early, :$ & ended up sat in the pub !!! [ might get there early again !! ] :beerbang: :thumb1:

[zentac]

Dont know, got an FTO OC Comittee meeting on Saturday so could finish any time!

[HJM]

What time are you peeps planning on arriving at the hotel on saturday ??
Last time I was a bit early, :$ & ended up sat in the pub !!! [ might get there early again !! ] :beerbang: :thumb1:

Derek
We should be there about 4pm ;)
Will you be in the pub or Ibis bar :rolleyes5 :rolleyes5 :rolleyes5
Mind you, with our reputation for getting up early :D we'll probably need to turn in about 6pm :p
See you then (roger and out)

[Nick Mann]

Are you thinking before food or after food?

/edit

D'oh! Beaten to it! I guess we'll try to be there for dinner, then!

[SGHOM]

YEH !!! I'll be there around that time also !!
If I've got to get up at 6.00 AM, I'll need to be tucked up in bed by............... err........... mm.......... 1.00AM ?? :$ :$ :laugh: & I'll probably be in the pub. :-b

[BraindG]

ive always like this mans way of thinking

[SGHOM]

Depending on Dave & Kieran, perhaps we could meet up in Nottingham, [ J26 M1 ] & convoy down ?? say around 3 pm ??

/ edit;

why did I just post that here ?? :$ :$

[BraindG]

had a few drinks already? :p

Err.... One small detail... My name isn't down for Trax!! :$

I am coming to Santa Pod though :-b And I think turning up at the ibis nice and early so that we can have the odd beer is a good idea! :beerclash

[SGHOM]

had a few drinks already? :p
just opened 3rd of 4 cans of stella !! now thats not a lot is it ?? :$

[Kieran]

just opened 3rd of 4 cans of stella !! now thats not a lot is it ?? :$

Heh! I think I'm going to fall offline and open a tinnie too! Cheers everyone! :-D :beerclash :grouphug: :bighug: :thumb1:

[Nick Mann]

Good news and bad news.

TRAX can not change the track times. We will have to endeavor to get there early!

However, they do have a few slots still available later in the day, so if anyone has a legitimate reason why they don't make the track, then they will do what they can to get them out later.

[Jimbo]

...so if anyone has a legitimate reason why they don't make the track, then they will do what they can to get them out later.

Does the fact that I am a danger to humankind at 8am on a Sunday morning count as a valid reason? :laugh: :$ :beerclash

Thanks for trying though, Nick - much appreciated.

[Physician]

For those of you travelling from Wellingborough to Silverstone early morning - am I correct that you will drive over the M1 at Junction 15A en route (or will you go via Junction 15) ?

If so, I will drive down from Leicester and wait to convoy with you from Junction 15A (or 15) onwards to Silverstone. I'll wait at the first available lay-by (or safe parking) AFTER Junction 15A roundabout on the A43.

I'm guessing you will be there around 06.45 if you are trying to get to the gates at 07.00 ........ can someone please confirm your rough time and route. I'll subsequently post my mobile number so that someone can call me if there are any hiccoughs ...... like all still totally pissed after getting to bed at 05.00 am :sad3:

[Nick Mann]

I'm pretty sure there are services at J15a. Lets meet there. It's easier than trying to get a shed load of galants in a lay-by!

Shall we say 6:45 depart from the services?

[Physician]

I'm pretty sure there are services at J15a. Lets meet there. It's easier than trying to get a shed load of galants in a lay-by!

Shall we say 6:45 depart from the services?

Don't think that will work Nick ....... all the cars from Wellingborough would need to get onto the Motorway to get to services etc. (Unless they know the back door route but it's awkward and officially not allowed. :sad3:

I was thinking that I would be the only one waiting and as you all pass I would just come out and tag onto the back of the convoy..........

[Jimbo]

My plans have changed somewhat. Mrs Jimbo was never likely to be coming it seems, but my best mate has shown a big interest, so I've given him my spare ticket (not literally.....cos Nick's got it, but you know what I mean!).

So I'm going to cruise down to his on Saturday and get some beers in then we'll be setting off from North Leicester early Sunday morning.

Richard, do you fancy a 6 junction mini-convoy till we meet the rest of the rabble? I expect we'll come down the A46 and join the M1 at J21A at about 6:00-6:15ish. Are you joining at Fosse Park?

I was under the impression that these services were accesible from the A43. Am I wrong?

Yep, that sounds good.

As I live close to Leicester Forest East services and know the 'back door' we could meet there (just after you join motorway). I'll wait close to the exit back ON to the motorway ...... just follow signs as if you were going to get fuel and you will see me parked just past filling pumps. About 6.00 to 6.15 ?

Mines a silver saloon.

Richard

[Physician]

I think they all have access other than the Motorway itself but not allowed to public. :sad3:

[Jimbo]

About 6.00 to 6.15 ?

No problem, I'll be in the loud, white X-reg! I'll aim to be there for just gone six.

Looking forward to it now. I have 4 new tyres ready to go on AFTER and Darren at Graham Goode's has done a fantastic job doing what no one else could - he found me a set of my break discs. Getting them fitted on Wednesday which doesn't leave me long to bed them in......looks like I'm taking the long scenic way to and from work this week!!!

Still need a crash helmet though :rolleyes5

[Nick Mann]

Come on, lads! Times a pressing!

I have 2 people whose tickets I don't know what to do with. Come forwards please, Wodjno and Quadal! I will try to get you both by e-mail.

In the meantime does anybody want to step forwards and claim some tickets? We only have a few days to go now, so SHOUT NOW!!

I am thoroughly looking forward to a bit of hot club action now! :$

Didn't you want some tickets, Mate?

I have posted tickets this morning. Physician and Simon should be getting them tomorrow. I have not posted the race instructions and packs as they are a tad heavy.

Roll on sunday!

[zentac]

From the IBIS to silverstone should take about 40 mins according to autoroute. I know from experience that there are always massive queues to get it. There will be thousands of cars trying to get in. I think last year was 2500 and this year is expected to be more. What time were people planning on leaving the IBIS?

[enigma]

I think as we are on track pretty much first we need to be away and ready very early! I wouldn't want to miss our slot because of traffic! :rolleyes5

I have posted tickets this morning. Physician and Simon should be getting them tomorrow.

Thanks Nick ....... tickets arrived.

I said 6:30 leave from the Ibis. But now you are worrying me! I know a back route around silverstone village that often misses much of the queueing, but the lanes you drive are fun too!

Does this mean people want to leave earlier?

The briefing session is 8:00.

[Brind]

Didn't you want some tickets, Mate?

I was just after a stand pass but it doesn't look likely I'll be coming, so don't worry. :)

[Nick Mann]

:sad3:

Just spoke to Pudd. For a variety of reasons he can no longer make it, so we have another two adult tickets up for grabs, along with a TRACK SLOT!

Roll up, roll up!

Anyone want to help all these people out and BUY SOME TICKETS!!

I would like to set off at 6 if no one has any objection. I tried to get in for a 9 briefing a couple of years ago, left leeds at 6 and had to ram my way in to a 5 mile queue as no one would let me in. Only just made the briefing and track.

[BraindG]

and we dont need that kinda stress in the morning!

[enigma]

I am certainly of the opinion that the earlier the better!! :rolleyes5

Just dont tell Heath and Jane :lipsrseal

Methinks we will just sleep in the car and one of you can bang on the window as you drive off :-D

Nick,

In case anyone gets detatched from the convoy or turns up late etc .......... which Gate are we to head for at Silverstone and do we have a location of our stand area. I take it we will be 'infield' somewhere?

Thanks

Richard

[Nick Mann]

Go to the main entrance (follow everyone else!). With your car pass in your windscreen, marshalls should point you in the right direction. I have no idea where we will be - I am assuming that the marshalls can point us in the right direction based on the stand car pass and the words 'Club VR4'!

OK thanks Nick.

Can I confirm that there is stand space, an entrance ticket and a track slot available (if I read the above correctly). Just seen Derek's post about 1/2 a room free and may be tempted at the last minute - will have to jiggle things around my end though.

If you're sleeping in my room, there will be no jiggling around !! :$ :rolleyes5 at your end, or my end !! GOT IT !! :laugh: :laugh: :$

[Spirit]

Just spoke to Derek and have agreed terms....so to speak :laugh:

So I will be there - sorry it's last minute but was not intending on going to this one as I am skint but lure of stand space, spare tickets and spare track time was too much :-b

Luckily I have done the urgent things on my car in the last two weeks:

4 x new Eagle F1s
New front discs/pads
Engine oil
G/box oil
AYC change
Transfer box
Rear diff

So she is ready to rumble down Hanger straight !

Nick, can you hold onto a stand pass, entrance ticket and track ticket for me and I will pay you tomorrow night if thats ok ?

Thanks

[BraindG]

yeay!

[Jimbo]

Cool, another track day warrior who's tyre treads I can follow! :-b

[Physician]

Pete,

I've made a list of new items you will need on your car after TRAX:

4 x new Eagle F1s
New front discs/pads
Engine oil
G/box oil
AYC change
Transfer box
Rear diff

:-D :-D :-D :-D :-D

[Spirit]

Yeah thanks mate, just what Shaz said - managed to blag my way around it along the lines of "Silverstone is easier on the tyres" and "I won't rag it too much" ....... :laugh: :laugh: :laugh:

But to help, I have the start of a deal with AP to do some on-car advertising for them in exchange for free/discounted servicing so will ease things a little ongoing if the deal comes off !

[HJM]

Do I feel a mini convoy coming on?

What time are you leaving?

[Nick Mann]

I think Pete's coming up lateish. Which way are you travelling?

[HJM]

Yeah, we texted already, so will be coming on our own :(

Swindon, Oxford (A34?)

I have a couple of stand tickets left, but you will have to work out how to get it!

I think there will be an entrance ticket left as well, but I am waiting for confirmation.
