York Raceway takes me ages to get there...........

............ If i walk

If Andy Forrest can travel to the likes of Santapod, then surely you can. If you want to play the game properly, you need to visit different grounds as it were!

Think outside the box men, make a weekend of it, get there the day before, hotel/B&B, meal, social, get up next morning and race!

 

Knockhill is worth it though, if you get there on the Saturday, bag a passenger lap with someone, you will love it (assuming they are going quick enough )

 

I know what you mean P20 and you are correct. Nothing better than a social get together and a good racing weekend away with the boys !.

 

My in laws own a large B&B/farmhouse roughly 5 minutes from York Raceway with ample parking for cars/trailers, and there is a good indian restaurant nearby.

 

Does york raceway and santa pod alow windscreen mounts. As I cant work out how to get my helmet cam on the crash helmet

 

Steve, check this guy out. Ian is a real nice approachable fella.

He is the resident photographer at Santa Pod (among other places) and is also the guy that filmed SleeperSy & me in the super slow mo's on page 47 of this thread.

will be coming up on saturday steven meeting paul and team up there is track practise all day or morn/afternoon as i dont want to travel 470miles and miss the session
see you there
steve
ill bring me helmet

 

The problem for me is that i work in my own restaurant and saturday is our busiest day and the only i take a saturday off is if i'm on away on holiday or i'm sick....but sunday is a goeer for me.

Plus i need to stretch my new set up soon...ish

 

Whan are you coming to knockhill?

 

What sort of restaurant do you own Fai?

 

I think his speciality is salt and vinegar monster munch

 

 

I will be needing another spare set of wheels but I will be limited due to the clearance of my front AP calipers.

My fitted OZ's have around 5 - 7mm clearance.

Need 18" x 7.5. Does anyone know of any lightweight wheels that will fit ??

I don't want to order a set then find they don't fit.


Thanks

 

What, a high class chippy then?

 

I have pff7's on mine and they clear my AP 6 pots and they are lightweight??

 

Smalled brakes is the answer Then get some 16's. Better for drag Clive. I am about to go that way.

 

Smaller brakes What are you gonna do if you need to stop quick on the road ??? Personally for my power level I think the AP6 pots are a requirement

 

My 6 pots will fit under 16's. Just gone for smaller discs which will give me the room. IMO you only massive brakes for hard track work.

Good idea Clive and right move for drag racing, but my car has been set up for track more than drag.

You will have me on the strip mate but on the track will be

 

All these lighter cars will have me as well I don't suppose you all want to weigh in at 1430kg to give me a chance

 

What power are you currently running Steve ?

I find the AP's really good, although they sometimes feel on the hard side.
I may do a few events then try softer pads.

 

I'm running 550/530 at the moment, It was supposed to be alot more tomorrow but my injectors never arrived in time I looked at my graph and my power drops off after 4500rpm As soon as those new injectors are fitted

 

You know what to do mate, get yourself entered in to the next round of Scooby Sprint

 

I am still leading for another week then

 

Possibly a lot more I will still be at santa pod on sunday, I can't go on monay??? err well I can but all my cases/bags etc will be in the boot. I think it will be funny to do it but I'm sure I will get slated if my car runs slow times

 

We won't slate you on here mate that's for sure. I will deffo be up there for early Monday but will give Sunday a miss given how little RWYB they are allowing at the show.

 

I won't do that!

 

Eh well i'm known to sell chicken satay for a living

 

New ceramics are back and ready for fitting.

Just awaiting now on silicone hose and powder coating of fabricated wing box
