Weather was stunning till abotu 12 Had track session at 9:20 and fair play my old girl done me proud she was flying about, only bad thing was high ACTS But still done well. Had one scary moment sideways but magage to catch it and no harm was done

I got the Track bug bigger than ever now

Fair play nice to see usual faces and Porkie your car is awsome

 

Yes i agree, what an awesome day Didnt have the power to compete with u guys but i still enjoyed myself out on track. That Reyland Cossie is unbelievable

Thanx for a top day out and thanks to Spikey for the track time

 

So you not thinking of selling it anymore then Rhys!?

 

What a great day The track action has to be the best I've seen this year

It has to be said '2 Scotsmen in 2 Mk2 escorts' drifting like errrr... like Jimmy's being giving them lessons

 

Rhys, sorry I can't make it tonight, enjoy your big night out and I will come and see you in Florida instead

 

sounds like a good day!

 

saw your car leaving Rhys, as me and Mark were running for our Brollys
Missed the 9:20 track session unfortunately! Wanted to see that one.
Sorry I didnt catch up with you Stu, by the time I got into the paddok there were no XR's that I could see. I did watch a few sessions with the paris blue XR going round. That wasnt doing too badly considering the power defecit! Got REALLY out of shape at one point, I thought it was all over! managed to recover though, bloke must have needed a change of underwear after that tho

top day tho!

I didnt get to see "rhys's little moment" he'd left me for dust

Was good to meet Tiff, had a chat with little joe even tho i didnt know it was him


See the welsh short arse

Porkie noticed my mini so we stopped to chat ( In the middle of the road, 3dr/mini,sat next to each other, but had some coont beeping so we both moved on )

But good to meet you Lee ( Briefly lol )


Chatted to paul ( Sticker ) and had a good day

Yeh????

The stoopid fu*#ing camera man didnt get 1 photo of my car on track was lookin forward to that aswell

Dont suppose any1 else was taking photos??

 

Just got back....had a top day

Good to see Little Joseph, Mr Tiff, Radders, Spiky, Stretch etc

I dont no a little bit of rain wont kill ya, get in a proper muddy forest and watch the action, then you'll no what rallying is about

Track action was awesome....Lee's 3dr was just something else, made the RS200 and 6R4 look like they were parked up carn't wait to see that at National day now. Saw Marco spacing his front bumper but he looked a bit stressed to stop and chat

Some really nice GRP B cars there taday and a nice selection of WRC.

I took 170 photo's but will take forever to load up

All round top day

 

Hi Ryhs


I never made it on track at all , i signed on first thing , then went to fit the slick I had a few probs with them because of the inner bottom part of the wing lip and the bumper , i'm not going into to much detail but i use a front saff anti roll bar which has then been moved forward even more , so it is a pain in the ass to get clearance with the rs500 bumper so it was then hammer time and file ...lol..

anyway i then decide to got for noise test 101 db @ 4500 rpm what a load of bollox , i asked the guy when was it last calibrated he said ,"this morning "

I said ," well where's the date on tester " he replyed It's not on there , I said," when a thing is calibrated it should have a time and date when it was last tested "

He then asked is me is engine cold I said ,"well i said yes , I have only drove from where it was parked to here thats it he said come back when it's warmed up and ill try it again

I said,"ok"


I went back 15 mins later when the engine was hot and it was 108 bd @ 4500 WTF

I said to the guy that thing is fooked up seriously ,

I know for a fact that my exhaust is 96bd @ 4500 and i told the guy this that i had it checked last night on my mates noise tester and it had the date on the back when it was last calibrated which was last month

anyway he wouldn't pass the car so i went over to "merlins" to get a silencer

but the never had one for the 4" tail pipe.

There was a rally car at the side of me which was tested his was 106 bd and he passed him ,


I still enjoyed the day it was pukka apart from the rain

Did you see my mates orange cos powerd mk1 mexico ??

his was 99db @ 4500 rpm his passed striaght away so i gave me session to porkie 's

his car had to be one of the quickest cars there today easy looked very fast he is only running 1.5 bar aswell

i'll be back next yr ....lol...

Marco

 

Paul

I was pissed off , but i'll always stop for a chat mate you should have come over i don't bite mate

get them pics up now......lol...

Marco

 

Marco, i see your car, when you was changing one of your 1 million RL7's LOL


Cars lovely

Just a shame it never went on

 

Freddy

another £100 and something down the drain i wanted to get on so bad i have only been on track belive it or not on rd tyres with my cossie i have been out on slicks on my focus wrc oil burner

I would say the slicks on i would be doing ok on track

but it never happend so it's history

BTW I have only got 6 sets of RL7's and 1 set of 18"'s i think i put the slicks on the wrong set

I sure this set is defo E.T 25

Next time i go i will bring 3 sets with me just incase

Marco

 

Is a shame marco, its bollocks about the DB testing too, one rule for one, another for the next



But by the way, you have 6 sets to many

I'll come over next time and say hello

 

Yes mate no probs

 

Lee's 3 door was only at 1.5 bar boost as well

 

Gotta give the old girl some stick, wanted to get it out a bit but lol. Wish someone caught it on camera as my mate filim in the car as soon a that happened he pointed it to the floor do

Marco u didnt go ot on track agian gutted mate.

 

after marco failed his noise test i stood next to the noise tester and watched him test a wrc scooby. it registered 106db and he still passed him

Marco, hopefully next track day it will all go right for you!!!!!

 

Ish

it fooking true one rule for one and one for another i am going to make a complaint saying that the rally cars were well over the limit and they still let them on (i know it's rally day and it's for rally cars but they seem to be strict on the rd going cars )


i have been going to rally day for the last 6 yrs and always send of money well in advance when they send me one for next yr i'll send it back and write "FOOK OFF "stick it up your ass sideways "

I know for a fact my exhaust is 100% legal i could understand if it was a single box goose but it's a twin box

Marco

 

im sure it was only the rally cars used for a "special stage" that where able to be upto 108db iirc

still a very good day out

 

unlucky with the track time Marco Would have loved to have seen Blue Thunder out where it belongs again!

Rad your mini was parked about 3 cars away from my silver mk2! I saw it when I ran back to get my brolly
Ill catch up with you guys in Newquay tho

Top day, shame it was a tad wet

 

rocco

true it is a good day out for the normal public if your watching totally agree with you there but when your suppose to be on track it is a bit of a pisser when you have paid to go on and then your told you can't because the noise tester was made by Tomytime

Marco

 

SOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO gutted for you Marco. You really deserved to be out there.

Noise issues are just the worst thing to fail for. Maybe worth looking for a new Exhaust or get it repacked.

If you fail at Combe, I think you WILL fail at Bedford mate

Exhausts do get louder with age My old Mongoose failed the static and the driveby at Bedford by miles. I bought a new mongoose and that passed the static and only just failed the driveby. The H&S exhaust on there now is super quiet but then it fooking should be!

My Sierra was running great, very pleased how fast it was on 1.5 bar and road tyres.

2 Bar and Slicks for National day though

 

i've got a bit of video of the Sierra on track. I'll post it up as soon as i get some time to convert it

 

Lee

i now what your saying mate and have total respect for you , but what i am saying is lee checked it with his tester and it was most defo 96db @ 4500

i have spoken to him tonight and he told me that when they were doing the test they put it too near the exhaust it's suppose to be measured 3ft away not inside the fooking exhaust well near enough

anyway i am getting a new exhaust with a 3" tail pipe just for good measure or i'll get brom to make me one of those things you stick in the back tail pipe

Marco

 

Was a really good day apart from the rain
I didn't get there until nearly 3 but still saw loads of nice motors Also managed to have a good look inside and out of colins escort

Definatley going again next year
