Anybody on here doing the track attack day on 27th Nov at bedford??
should be a good day-not too much to hit either!!

 

was going to but 87 drive by limit is fecking ridicularse....

Mine was 97 at dono on monday.

 

Yes thats worrying me to be honest..just need to suss its track side position and cruise past!!

 

That's what I thought, but when I went they did a static test on each car as we arrived and if you were borderline on that then one of the instructors drove your car past the noise meter at full chat

 

mines 105db

 

I reckon they'd be turning you away at the front gate !

 

Impossible limits will keep most cars away Sad but true.

Nov 17th @ Oulton Park (Cheshires finest) is better value at Ł99 too

 

im going

i haave a nice mongoose with both boxes intact

im sure ill survive

im a noooobie anyway so will be takign it easy at first

 

I DO sympathise.... AND think noise limits are a pain in the arse BUT my 600bhp+ Sierra will be there as will alot of other cars, So to say 'impossible limits and most cars' is WRONG and VERY unfair

 

I'll be there, but only in my trusty BM!

Bedford is the best track in the UK in my opinion. fast, wide and not a lot to hit. Deffo a must in your track day life!!!!

Will also be there for extensive beer the night before and after (Beer on the night after only)

Sean..

 

Are you sure Sean!!!!?????
LOL!!!!!

 

I'm there , but no beer afterwards I'm afraid

 

Porkie its NOT wrong for N/A cars. Turbo'd cars are by their nature much quieter.

Im not bitter about it in any way, we live by rules in the sport, and if it helps the venue survive then thats fine

If I wanted to go I could go in the Vectra, which would be about 65dB, but NO fun at all.

 

Porkie, why is it unfair to be honest.. ?

87 is VERY low, its not like its 11 levesl less is it, as its logrithmic (as at any other track)

Your 3 door is no quieter than mine, so what are you going to do to sort the noise level out, being serious as it might be an option.

 

I'll be there!

Cheers Craig!

Lee I wanna go in the 3dr please!

 

Just been readin up on this to make sure i understood it....

approx 3db is double the noise level.

so @ normal track days its 98db so 95 would be half the noise level, 92 half again, 89 half again etc....

and the noise level drops about 1-2db over 20-30m so if you use dono as an example, i really cannot see how you can do it....

Also found that the average city drive by is 88-90db....

I am really confused to why bedford is so low, is it measured wearing tights over the mike or somert ?

 

Last year they were testin idle as u go through the gate!

PMSL @ City drive by being louder than bedford is allowd

 

I presume this is at Bedford Autodrome? How do I get an invite to come and watch as I only live down the road. Would love to take my mk2 estate round the track but

A: I'd get laughed at (a lot)

B: I don't fancy getting in the way of a 600bhp cossy coming up behind me!

Is this just a Ford day out or are Redline inviting anyone bcos my mates just built himself a 233 bhp N/A nova and it does do the business so to speak, I know he's craving to have it round a track b4 he gets banned again!

 

Wayne,
I'll be there , might even buy you a drink (if you're lucky ) for all the good prices you used to do me at Pace .

 

PMSL @ Mike offering to buy the drinks when they're free!

 

B19-TRB,
FREE DRINKS... NOBODY TOLD ME THAT......SUNDAY COULD BE A WRITE OFF!!

 

only tea,coffe & hot choco wayne!

dont get to excited! lol

Unless Mike was offering to us down the pub & buy the 1st round!

 

Lewis,
Change the "us" to "him" and you would be correct .

 

damn!

 

SOUNDS GOOD TO ME!

 

im really looking forward to it

 

Not just a Ford day. To book a place log on to www.palmersport.com/redline

 

Anyone got a spare passenger seat for an un-official photographer???

 

Thats fair enough, but they have 300bhp STUPIDLY fast N/A Jag JP1's screaming around.. so the noise limits aren't impossible. Caterham struggle to shut up the R500 Evos BUT they can and do for Bedford...

I REALLY sympathise and hate noise limits as much as anyone else. I thought that ND at Donno was soooooooooo much better with noise limits.

Dingy, I've never failed a noise test YET... I will be absolutely GUTTED if I can't run at Bedford. BUT will do everything to shut the car up enough and will try to re-engineer the car to sort the problem if neccessary!

 

is the noise level measured only @ drive by level . or are they still doing the 1 metre away from the pipe check ?

 

Phil, passengers have to pay Ł25 and you have to book it when you book your place

 

Is this event open for people to come and watch can anyone help please.

 

as above jimmy no it isnt

passenger/pit pass is Ł25 and spectating pass is Ł5 i think only bookable by those taking there cars but apparently unless your in the pits u cant see shit anyway

 

I might try and be there.

I do like the drinking sessions afterwards

 

i wont be able to drink have a long journey home i have to drive

 

Craig - you stay over the night in the hotel we always stay at, and marvel at Sean's ability to shout louder and louder as the night wears on

 

Rich, Craig can still do that even if he drives home

 

Ah yes, good point.

But I know Craig likes a beer................ or maybe a cocktail

 

fook off

so im not a hardened alchohol consumer hmmmm hotel

details ?

will have to ask hightower alltho his response will be im not paying il sleep on someones floor

 

The Hotel is called the Queens Head. Its in Milton Ernest. It will get VERY VERY messy but will be a wicked night as always
