It's always 101, Matthew. I was 107 that day, which came down to 103 with my cans on, I just got lucky in that PetrolTed was behind me at the noise test and they had the devil's own job to get his Porsche GT3 down to 103 as well.......at which point they decided the weather conditions must be jiggering the noise meter (I think the knew who he is). I had no trouble with the drive by limit all day, nor did he.
However, I was 106.7 at Snetterton last Friday without cans.....which is why is I limiting myself to Donington, a track I have always fancied trying. I am open for a group session at Oulton Park too later in the season (but not in the wet!).

107 at Snett... wow. I have done Snett a few times and always got on without cans.

I now know I had a faulty plug extender at Snetterton, so the resulting slight misfire might have compounded my problems, but I usually struggle to get under the required 101 at Bedford, especially if the eagle-eyed staff are watching my rev counter - a couple of hundred rpm lower and I sail through. Annoyingly, I never struggle with their drive by, which is the one the local council monitor.

Put me down for Donnington - provided that the 105Db is as "flexibly applied" as at TVRCC day at Cadwell....

;-)

From what I have read (not personal experience tbh), it's the drive-by at Donnington which is the issue, as they are rigorously policed and apparently don't take into account multiple cars passing the meters at the same time, planes flying overhead etc.

Shame, as I would quite like to do Donny at some point, but have been put off by the above.

if brummie manages it I think most of you should be ok, generally if you are near the limit just down use full throttle down the main straight, they can be quite strict though, I know they were telling brummies mate in his LS RX7 that he was 1dcb over on the drive by and told him he had to sort it or her was gone

Quote this post and add your name to which ever day suits (or both). There's no pencil. Name down is commiting. Delete the 'quote' formating and this bit of text, then submit.

As time is moving on I'll contact the organisers and see if we can get a discount with what we have. Shame they're not all with the same organiser.

[Zippee]

I may be able to do one of these, need to consult the calendar when I get home. Are they TVR specific or is anything welcome? My 350 is way to loud for track but I'd like to put my R53 Cooper works on at some point.

[mk1fan]

All are welcome. Read the first post.

[mk1fan]

Will call the relevant organisers tomorrow.

Emailled Javelin re the Donnington day. atom111 and I are doing a double header in August so have asked for a price for a block booking. Will mean money needs to be paid in one go. Once I have a price I'll post it up. Happy to pay it after people Paypal gift me the money.

I can't make Bedford now so I have made no enquiry with MSV.

[mk1fan]

Afternoon All,

Right I've received word from Javelin about a Block Booking deal. They are offering a free garage. I assume that if we get a couple (2) more cars for Donny then we'll get a second garage. Please don't reply here. I'll start a new thread.

[trev4]

I'm up for Bedford missed out this week hopefully the car will be back from the trimmers by then, has anyone booked yet
