Ok a few more questions
Ive bought a set of spair wheels for track days, the tryes on two are fairly good where as the other two are well worn.

Am i better off putting the well worn pair on the front or back ?
If its raining ill probably use the wheels and tyres i usualy have on the car (Toyo's) which have plenty of tread.

Also is there any where that you can leave wheels ect with out them finding a new owner while your out on track.
As the misses is comming ill be bringing my 4X4 as well so this time ill be ok but in future ill probably just come in the Impreza.

Sorry for so many questions but if i dont ask now ill never remember this stuff on the day.

Andy

Edit to say ive just booked my self in for the 4th Oct as well , I can see this becoming expencive

It will be my first track day on the 21st Sept and i was wondering if any scoobyneters were going who could give me a few pointers ie take me out in their car and then come out with me ....gulp
So is any one going?

Andy

 

Wasn't planning to go on track this time as I need to get some more brake pads (<2000 miles left on mine). Might pop up though, and I'll bring my helmet 'just in case'.

 

Its a date then m8 , It would be great if you could as i realy could do with some one who has been around donnington to show me the ropes

Andy

 

No, but I'm there on 15th November!

Can't wait!!

Steve

 

If all goes well on my first track day i may also be there on that one as well

 

Er, not sure I'd class myself as a trackday expert yet (okay, I've done Donington three times now), but I know a few of the lines round there now

 

Yep I'm there on track that day and 4th October

 

Another one ill be looking out for, for some lessons then

Andy

 

Trackzone actually have instructors there and you can get free tuition for a few laps. Ask about it at the driver's briefing. I strongly recommend that you do this, it is invaluable.

 

Sounds like a good idea, Im feeling nervous now thinking about my track day debut so go knows how ill feel on the day.
One question though is fuel avalabe at the circuit and are you allowed to bring your own in jerry cans ?

Andy

 

Yeah SUL is - but at a £1.00 a litre most bring fuel in jerry cans though....if you do - don't forget a funnel!!

 

hey Redkop, how`s it going?

what`s this meet at Donnington about?

How much is track time as i may be interested?

Wayne.

 

Closest fuel (taht's not 99p/litre ) is at Donington services. It's BP, and they do sell SUL. That's the one I've used on trackdays to fill up with during the lunchtime break.

 

Hiya Wayne - long time no see and I never saw you at Trax either

Trackzone currently have a special offer SEE HERE


Andy, personally I prefer to use good road tyres until I can get a set of wheels for track only, then I will use slicks. Wornout road ones could tend to be weaker IMO, but it's up to you.
You can always leave your stuff in one of the pit garages, there's always space even if the garage is in use.

 

I think ill end up getting a set of slicks but i need to get the misses hooked before she will let me spend another £400 on the car
Ill probably use the spair set as long as its not realy wet as i want to try and keep the tyres as long as posible on my road wheels.

Andy

 

One thing tho Andy - make sure your brake pads are in a good condition and not worn

 

I should be able to make one of these dates.

I'll make a call tomorrow.

Dave

 

Yup pads are OK ive just had my Brembo's fitted about a month ago and they have plenty of life left.

Andy

 

These days were advertised in Motorsport News last week, so don't leave it too late to book. These sessions go quite fast, hope to see you and Clare there Dave

 

And don't forget to....


corner!

(edited to say I know it's a bit muppetty..)

I am booked in for the 21st and 4th October.

Dave

 

Dave - cya there

 

Yup cya there :~)

 

Means a dead early start to get a pit garage

 

Yeah , it takes me nearly a whole 45 mins to get there - I better get up at 8:00am

Lynne stay off the booze this time

Dave

 

Is it a first come first served thing with the pit lane garage ?
Do you just turn up and plonk you car in a avalabe space ??

Andy

 

Thats about it!

One garage door has two garages in it. I may need to store a few bits and a set of wheels.

Dave

 

Ill be taking my 4X4 as well so if you need to put anything any where just ask, there is plenty of room in the back of it when the seats are down.
