Better mark August the 16th in your cruise diaries and get ready for a whole night of real hard core cruise action. We’ve listened to what you’ve wanted, and now we’re giving it to you, bigger and better than ever before. Imagine a cruise packed full of nice cars competing for first place in the show and shine. SPL sound offs pitting the loudest stereos together to win prizes. Drag racing, track racing, burnouts, donuts, all the action you can possibly imagine for the perfect night out!

This is a legal cruise and we’ve gone to extremes to make sure the police won’t hassle you. Legal convoys will be run to the main event, so check the list for your nearest points. If there isn’t a convoy near you then don’t worry, the cruise is going to be held at Donington Park starting at 6PM. We need to charge a little entry fee to cover some of our costs, so it’ll be £5 per car (not per person, just per car), so cram four mates in and that’s a pound each!

Some of the highlights for the evening,

Large lit tarmac arena

Donut and Burn out area

SPL Sound off challenge

Show and Shine

Competitions and prize giveaways

1/4 drag racing through the night (£20 unlimited runs!)

Your chance to blast around the famous Donington Park Race Track!(£25 for an hour)

Chance of magazine and site coverage

And lots more!

 

ill be there, got to defend my 1/4mile title from the last one

 

Track day in the dark? £25 an hour? mmmm

 

This is supposed to be cancelled, i would ring first to confirm.

This was in the way of the RSOC day on the 17 aug, the following morning, you can imagine the mess!


Dave.

 

dave cos4x4, just mailed the organiser and its still on, also track time from 9am till 4am to be booked through BRSCC

What about the rsoc people who are camping near by!


Dave.

 

If anyone is interested in attending the morning or afternoon track sessions before the evening stuff, please could you contact Vicki on 01732 848884 A.S.A.P. as she is thinking of making a decision on whether or not to cancel the event TODAY due to lack of interest. I understand BRSCC are organising it (www.traxperience.co.uk)

 

i shall hopefully pop along. off to the rally day too but as its not on till 6 should be there

 

PECCY are you still going ?????
CHEESY

 

yes matey, theres a convoy from TIBSHELF SERVICES (near notts) at 5pm, give me a bell if ya comin

 

Up for this one - wheres the list of convoys going up?
Presumably you need a helmet for the track events?
Can you hire them up at the track? (having trouble borrowing one!!)

 

So do we use the main entrance for the car parks or the Pits and Paddock entrance as per a track day?

Lee

 

So who else was there then?
I went up - lots of boy racers in their Nova's, Corsa's etc and they suit the Maxpower image so no prizes there !!
1/4 miles were fun tho' :-)
Bru555 - you survive the Mrs when u got home?? lol

Was anyone else disappointed in the quarter mile set up. I got a 12.6 run which i know is a load of rubbish cos when i was last at santa pod i got a 14.2, and all ive done is changed the exhaust and filter so there timing was well FUBAR

Marx

 

You mean I shouldn't believe the 8.75 timing I got for the 1/4 !!
:-)

 

Jesus chr1st and i thought my time was fubar

 

Only joking Marx - honest !!
Only did the second session and got low 12's - I did hear several people moaning that they couldn't get anywhere near their first session timings and even heard one blame it on the light !!
Did you do both sessions and were timings comparable?
Marv

 

Yeah i did both sessions.
I got 12.9 and 12.7 in the first session, and 12.6 in the seccond

Marx

 

Looks like its back to the drawing board then Marx - even allowing for an improvement as you got used to the run your timings appear comparable and you'd expect to improve slightly on the second set of runs.
Will just have to do Santa Pod sometime !!
You doing the run at the end of September up near York?

 

just got the 1/4 mile results in post...

1 Adrian Toyota Corolla 11.29

14 BRUCE 12.97

18 PETER 13.46

20 CHEESY 13.49

 

Got the results too - really useful.....NOT
Wanted to know all runs coz last two felt by far the best and the chap told me I had done a 12.5 (best on results page was 12.6 !!)on the third of five runs so .......
NOT IMPRESSED
Any other opinions on the times?

 

Not sure about York mate, might be a bit skint again by then, I think im gonna take the scoob round Donnington on the 21st of Sept £100 for the full day if you went to MR cruise which is always useful

Marx

 

oops wrong post.
