Good man ....... we will try to keep you guys honest on the track.

Just as long as no-one moans about my driving style. I have to get as close as i can in bends to intimidate you into moving out of the way before you disappear on the straights

 

How many cars are there in total for this day, will the pitlane be absolutely chocca?

 

There only looks like 10 places left in stock

SIDC SHOP

better be quick

Tony

 

We have allowed for 50 places [Although Bedford allow upto 100 [50 max on track]]

This will ensure a great day and no pit lane chaos

Phil.

Forgive me for being rude but why are we paying £135 when the RSOC are going a couple of weeks before and paying £80? Looks like the same format etc.

Gary

 

I was waiting for that one

BECAUSE THEY ARE ALLOWING UPTO 100 cars

They ARE also charging for Pit Garages and they also have lots of traders that they charge

We decided that 50 was a good number plenty of safe track time and no overcrowded pit lanes

Dare I say it how a SIDC Track day should be run

Without going into all the details this event is not run to make money

IIRC we need 43 cars to pay for the actual Track time We then have to cover the other costs i.e. Insurance, Postage,Etc

We do have several Sponsors attending Xtreme Scoobies, SGM, TSL [tbc], Crossroad Garages. We do not charge them as they support the club through out the year and to be really hoest do not actually make a great deal of money on the day. If they want track time they do actually pay for it as well.


Phil

 

Oh and btw its not rude at all

I actually expected it as soon as the RS Owners Club posted it

I hope that my explanation helps but feel free to post again or email me if you need further clarification

 

Your answer is fine cheers.

Gary

 

Took another 6 postal bookings today

 

What is the noise level again?

 

I've been trying to talk our R32 loving friend, whose been just slightly rude in Other marque to bring his (so called ) R32 along but he cant be talked into it. I guess the fact that he has just owned up and admitted to driving a 1.6 pug has something to do with it

 

I'm booked now anyway as a) it doesn't look like i'll manage to get the exhaust I am trying to and b) i just noticed in the pics it comes with bungs

 

Gary, thanks for the advice. I think you have saved me about 1150.00 !! I'll buy you a cup of coffee WITH milk by way of a thankyou!

 

No probs matey ....no point throwing ya money away.

 

The static Noise level measured from 0.5m from the exhaust pipe with the engine 2/3rds max rev must not exide 101dBa which will be measured by Circuit staff

The drive by noise level measured from 20m from the centreline of the vehicle passing at at least 60mph and accelerating maximally must not exceed 87dBa

 

If your marginal on the static test you will need to be letting off as you pass the on-track testers coz they will black flag you.

 

I dont think they use a noise meter.

I think they have developed there own chavometer.

To loud = chav so get out.

 

If you think you are anywhere near the limit don't bother to go out.
Take it from a man with the unfortunate experience of being one of the 3 last time who broke the limit.
A very short day.

Noise testing session Next Saturday Midday !!!!!!!!!!


Will give those a chance to change exhausts before the day

 

Are they going to have the odd garage door or two open so we can store wheels, seats etc if the weather is bad?

 

Garages are going to be open

 

That's good They were closed last year, and the wind was collllllllllld!

 

What on the last SIDC Day? i.e. Good Friday

I thought they were opened

 

Just need somewhere out of the open to store my essential spares ...


wheels
seats
rear beam
exhaust
engines
body panels
anti creak spray x 10 cans


etc etc

 

Nah the ones down our end certainly weren't - had to keep sheltering in the little hospitality room

 

I will enquire but I am sure it won't be a problem

 

Thanks Phil ..

It will be usefull to have somewhere to put a few bits and bobs.

 

I need somewhere to store my hair drier and striaghteners
