Competitors- please read
Just a few brief reminders/pointers please for all competitors-
1. bring your helmet/license/docs. arms /legs to be covered at all times. 2. dont forget to bring your entry ticket and pitlane pass- have this clearly on display when you get to the pitlane please as it helps the guys sort out the cars. 3. fuel- if you are bringing spare it must be in an approved storage (metal) container, not plastic /other containers. Marshals will be looking out for this and may bar anyone leaving fuel cans open/unsafe etc. 4. signing on- must be done before you race and you must attend the drivers meeting usually held at the startline area around 10m. if you go to sign on leave your car open/keys with someone so the scrutineers can see inside etc. 5. trailers/support cars-- not to be left in pitlane on the hardstanding, move them onto grass please and trailers out of the way. marshals may remove scrutineering stickers of any cars "dumped" blocking the queue lanes or left inappropriately. 6. scrutineers- will come to your car in pitlane and work their way through, dont go looking for them or driving around. they will get to you all. will be some questions we suspect from people who havent raced before so fire away on this thread if you need any info. |
1 day and no Q's ! You are onto a winner!

Hey Puff, last year I was embarrassed to be 91.5 DB .. full 2.5" decat, tubular headers, TD05-20g turbo, H&S rear box ... !
May be a bit louder this year as now got 3" d/pipe and exhaust from H&S although with center ( small! ) silencer and back box, and new headers.. seems louder! Maybe I can break 95 dB(A) ! |
I want to keep under 90 if I can :D
Enviromentally friendly Puff :D |
last tested 3 weeks ago at 104 db @5200 rpm fingers crossed for 4500rpm and below 103 db
|
plastic fuel cans not really acceptable you need to bring a metal (approved) fuel storage can. the plastic ones are emergency use only.
competitors can leave site for fuel, however dont think about attempting to do so between 8am and 11am at the earliest as the flow of cars in will prevent easy access out. you may remove rear seats and other minor trim but must retain the front pair, and have working mot equipment ie wipers/horn/seatbelts. Toyo tyres- this event and TOTB form part of a deal with Toyo to allow all competitors access to T1rs and 888s at a discount price. pm or email please, however you wont be able to order in time for this weekend now i'm afraid. We can supply all year round however. :-) |
If a car is applicable to the "pro" (under 11.5) category, do the same noise regulations of 103db apply?
|
my car last time was 89dB, beat that!
|
chris
Still think you should let me run,
More the better sir:D |
noise
I have just spent the afternoon in court and i can tell you there will be no leeway on the noise limit it will be strictly enforced by the Elvington Staff and ourselves as always,,,, so please to avoid any disapointment make sure your car is under the limit
We should have a verdict on the future of Elvington early next week,,,,Bishop |

the way it works is the absolute fastest cars will end up in pro class anyway as they run the times and move up, but of course we could list non tuners within that class. almost all the other classes will be made up of non tuner cars i suspect, but we will look at the results closely and tweek them to show non tuners afterward in a seperate list if its possible.

Last year we had a Pro list, and Normal list .... on the results summary
