Croft trackday 9th Oct

[neil jdmr]

Anyone on here having a go, it's an open pitlane with a 105db limit, most are 98dB and I struggle keeping the noise down.

Full day £199 which isn't bad for croft and that will go up closer to the day.

Yeh I am keeping an eye on it and pretty sure I will be booking it.

Hmmm tempting I'm there this weekend with the lotus north east lot will see how I get on with the noise limit first!

Are there any spaces left for this or is it a Lotus only day ? desperate to get out in the car !

[JM5]

Not sure if there are any spaces i know when I booked a few weeks back there wasn't many left. It's organised by Iain at the lotus newcastle garage 0191 4607204 so give him a shout and he'll let you know.

[JeffC]

sorted and booked this morning, will be there in an old red Honda Crx.

cheers for the heads up .

Take it easy on the roads around Croft. We had a lot of police activity in the area today and it sounded like some absolute throbbers were wheel-spinning out of the junction onto the main road. Also heard the "twos" (as in "blues and twos") a couple of times, which is unusual unless someone's been very silly.

[JM5]

No problem Jeff and thanks I will take it easy on the way In.

[neil jdmr]

Just had my confirmation today, still a bit concerned about the 105db limit as I was 104db at 4.5k on an android noise tester app.

Hoping I don't need to start hammering in the bung and strangling the power

[JeffC]

105db is very loud for a static check, noise levels at race events are 105db.


oh and mine was checked at 88Db on Sunday

My neighbour was loading up his Ginetta as I left for work yesterday so I'm guessing he was heading to Croft.

How was it?

[marshalla]

Too quiet - I didn't hear a thing from my office (about a mile from the pit lane).

[neil jdmr]

You can't have been listening too well. My bung blew out on the second session and I only scraped through with it in. Currently on the search for a new exhaust.
