TRACK INFO:

As most people will realise that croft has had a fair share of problems with noise and the legal system and as a result of that we almost didn’t have a show at all. But we have worked with croft to come up with the following solution.

First of all each session has been cut by 5 minutes so instead of the usual 20 you will get 15 minutes and to help with the noise levels we have to have a 15 minute break between sessions. But you still manage to get 6 sessions during the day as the day has been slightly extended to cover this.

There is also no novice intermediate and expert this time – its simply a complete mix up of cars which is going to be run with 40 cars this year – this has been reduced by a 1/3 to also help croft.

So Session A is 13 cars, Session B is 13 cars and Session C is 14 cars.

Full details of session times will be sent out in your track entrants pack.

There is also going to be a VERY STRICT Noise policy of 95db so please make sure your car is below this level.

0-60 INFO:

This will run in the same order as the cars on track so 15 mins on 15 mins off.

Unfortunately this has put pay to a lot of attractions we had lined up for 2009 with regards to guest cars and passenger / charity rides and we've had numerous discussions about how we go about things for this year and we've come to a compromise with Croft so we can still hold the show this year but we've sort of took a step backwards as to keep things on track for 2010!

Now going forward to 2010 we have requested a full noise day!!!!!

We can have louder cars than any previous years at croft so please if you can bare with us for the track time this year and understand the troubles the circuit is having then going on to next year we should be in good form to get back to normal again.

IF anyone has any problems or queries regarding track time please post on this thread or ring Steve Carlin (Dingy) on 07970 785 790.

Scott.

 

Seems a shame Scott, but needs must eh

 

Least we are still up and running and have a bloody good local show!!

Lets get planning and get the posters up!

Its still be great and 2010 will be even better! I think we have done really well to keep the show on and there!

 

is there any tracktime places left? ive got my form but havent sent it off yet as my car is fooked at the moment.

 

Wil give you a bell soon scott. Our next meet next sunday so will be asking for numbers again.

 

can you still pay on the day for the 0-60 scott ??

 

can the family camp with you if your doing track day?

 

I'm there wouldn't mind to get out on track too


Luciano

 

Track is full and no more reserves are being taken at the moment, sorry.

Just give Scott a ring, you'll need names and REG Numbers for each vehicle on the stand, also you'll need to forward Scott an address where the passes can be sent to

Yes, however, only cars which have a vehicle pass will be able to run the 0-60. No cars from the public car park will be allowed into the paddock area so bear this in mind if you want to run the 0-60

Yes

If you haven't already booked on track and your not on the reserve list then there's not much chance of you getting on with your own car, however, I'm sure someone will oblige with a passenger ride

 

how do you go about getting a viehicle pass for the 0-60 claire ?

 

i havent sent the form in for the track time yet as i was waiting to see what happened with the event

should i send it in now?????

 

i think the track is full now mate

 

Thanks for the reply Claire. Wil get names and regs sorted this weekend.

Cheers

 

i won a track time last year so i hope they still have one left

 

Sorry but i wont be coming to this show cause its my wedding anniversary.I hope you dont lose the venue in the future.

 

still would like to know about the 0-60 and whats needed so i can enter a car

 

glenn go to the show, then take her out for a meal on the night job jobbed!!
in 2003 I should have been in spain with my wife and son, I went to the show (on track) then got a flight out the next day to meet up with them!!

steve

 

Have you sent a form to Dingy? If not then I think you've probably missed out as we've had to disapoint a lot of people that have applied because we have been cut down to 40 cars from 60

On the day Craig, once you have paid in and are within the paddock then you can purchase a 0-60 pass which will get your car passed the main entrance. This pass will gain you access to the 0-60 area only and after your run(s) your car will have to return to the car park. HTH

 

Scott, just want to ask will we be parked next to the 0-60 and will we have room for a small gazeebo if thats ok?

Cheers, Rach

 

cheers scott going to try and get james down in the skyline again aswell

 

As of yet we havn't done the layout for this year....we'll be doing this closer to the event but you will definately have room for a gazebo.

 

Ha ha mint story mate.Thats dedecation for you lol.

 

u have an understanding wife i reckon! haha

i spent my 1st yr wedding anniversary at croft like. the 2nd yr anniv was boring n the 3rd.. well ill have a baby so will be very very different! LOL

 

so can someone confirm if i have track time as i was told if i didnt turn up i would be billed for the slot

 

Have you tried ringing Steve (Dingy) on the number above?? I'm sure he'll be able to let you know how you stand with your place

 

if i bump in to him over the weekend i will ask him about it

 

Why wouldn't you just ring him???

Just speaking outloud wouldn't that make more sense?? At least then you'd know how you stood with your track place.

Hope you get it sorted

 

Claire.....you ready to get your ass spanked on track again!!!

 

Nee chance

 

Congrats on still getting a show together for this year despite all the troubles at Croft

 

It hasn't been easy believe me!! Dave and Scott have worked with Croft to be able to put the show on this year. Obviously we have had to scale things down this year but hopefully if all goes well this year then it will be better for us in the future.

Croft didn't want to lose our show as it brings something different to the venue other than race meetings and experience days. They tried to accommodate us as best they could but I think the fact that they wanted to work with us shows that they really do appreciate what we do.

Cheers for the positive input, it's always appreciated as not a lot of people realise how difficult things have been behind the scenes for this year.

We're hoping that people will still support the show despite things having to be scaled down. We'll be in a better position with Croft next year.

When Dave and Scott went to discuss the show with Croft they showed them the noise graph from last year and the noise was fine until Andrew and Charlie turned up at lunch time on the Saturday. The graph showed that the noise significantly increased after they went on track. Also there was a Lambo on the 0-60 which contributed to the peak in the noise graph Claire who worked at Croft said she heard it from the control tower in the pit area even when the track was going full chat

 

Has the noise limit been changed again ?

 

as rob has said scott you need to edit your first post to 95db and someone needs to start telling those on track of the max noise level as lots of cars are going to fail the test (the difference between 98 and 95 db is massive!)and it could really spoil the show, members of our group have already in the last 2 days been buying silencers and parts so the can re engineer there exhaust so as to take part..

steve

 

Cant wait for this now especially now I have asked claire to take me round the track!!! Was out with a mate on bank holiday monday, great fun!! lol lol Thanks Claire....

No probs at all hun, I'm defo booking on track at Nat Day so you are very welcome to come out with me

 

I might have a look down on the saturday cause the mrs is getting her hair done on the morning,Im gutted i carnt come on the sunday.I might just say im popping out for a pint of milk and i will sneek to the show lol.

 

OK GUYS, NOISE LIMIT CHANGED IN ORIGINAL POST TO 95db AND IT WILL BE TESTED THE SAME AS ALWAYS CONTRARY TO THE RUMOUR MILL

PLEASE DON'T VENT ANY FRUSTRATIONS UPON US, THIS HAS BEEN IMPOSED ON US THIS YEAR BY CROFT THEMSELVES UNTIL ALL THE HASSLES CALM DOWN! ANYONE THAT IS NOT SURE THEY WILL BE UNDER THE NOISE LIMIT IS ENTITLED TO THEIR MONEY BACK IF THEY SO WISH BUT THIS MUST BE DONE ASAP!

 

Mint, thanks hun!!! i will def be holding you too it mind! hehe
