Trackday - Snetterton 22 September

[mk1fan]

Looks like there's the seeding of a mini-meet for the Javelin trackday on Monday the 22nd September. See the 'Upcoming trackdays - who's doing what?' thread in the Chimaera forum.

I'll be booking into the Breakfield Lodge which is a few miles up the road the night before.

Details of the trackday are here;
http://www.javelintrackdays.co.uk/trackday/index.p...

List so far is;
mk1fan
MPoxon
phazed
QBee
ChilliWhizz

Any more for any more?

Is that a 'I'm in' TGTVR?

Spoken to Javelin and we may get a small reduction in the current 'book early' price of £129. Probably not worth the hassle of organising the single payment from a group.#

Garages are available at a reserve price of £30 each. If any are left over they are a free for all on the day (FCFS).

I'm happy to book my spot next week as I'll be booking Croft and Oulton Park at the same time. I'm happy to book a garage. If anyone else wishes to book a garage then let me know and I'll request 'adjoining cells'. This can provide space for up to six cars but will atleast give cover / shelter for our various associated kit.

Currently 15 people confirmed on the day - the majority RX-8 owners.

1 S in the group and the Chim boys are running for alternatives

Apologies,

The hotel I mentioned is called Breckland Lodge - www.brecklandlodge.co.uk

Rooms are nice, and the bar food ain't bad. Sainsbury's 1-mile futher up the road for fuel (nicely hidden behind a high brick wall so the turn in is a bit sharp for those who don't know).

Don't try and use the online booking form, it's poo poo cacka hair. Just call them.

[mk1fan]

Unlikely to get a further discount, see previous posts, so down to individuals to book.

Please post here when you've booked. Also state whether you have booked a garage so we can try and group ourselves.

I won't be booking until next week as I want to check my dB before booking Croft.

[mk1fan]

Unfortunately I am a Samsung user and the dB meters peak at 86dB.

Samy read 86dB at both Austec (iPhone I believe), Cadwell Park and Snetterton. If it's the same on Monday then I'll book Croft on the 13th (88dB limit).

QBee said:

Never mind - and you might find that that app is available for Samsung.

It's the Samsung hardware in the phone that limits the readings up to 86dB or so I've been told.

If the reading is any different on Monday then I'll book Croft for the 12th (105dB limit). It's been pretty constant to date.

[mk1fan]

Right, they didn't do sound testing of the cars yesterday so I'll book Snetterton this week and sort out a sound check for Samy for Croft (the OH has an iphone so can download the 10thdecibel app).

[mk1fan]

My mate atom111 is coming in his GT86 and is booking a garage so I'll be sharing with him. I'll be booked tomorrow along with Oulton Park in November.

Not doing Croft (yet).

[mk1fan]

Looks like I'll be in Tamy not Samy.

[mk1fan]

I'm sharing a garage with atom111.

Easiest thing to do would be to contact Javelin - indeed I may well just do that - and ask if the garages booked by the TVR drivers can be grouped.

[mk1fan]

Done.

I've requested that we have a line of garages. There are 5 in total. I know 2 are already being shared.

See y'all on the 22nd.

[mk1fan]

atom111 and I will be having dinner at the Brekland, a few drinks and an early night - separate rooms.

[mk1fan]

Managed 150-miles on track at around 13.9mpg.

Great day, great weather, some good chats. Wanted to chat too more of you guys but was caught up in getting on the track.

Tamy was great all day - tyres took a beating!

Got home with no dramas.

Roll on the next day (Oulton Park in November for me).

Post some photos tomorrow.

[mk1fan]

Agree.

Good pace there.

Makes me want to get Samy fixed.

Ha, Ha - here's the bit that went 'less well' for me (link to video, one lap with an ending!)

TG repeat on Dave showing your S being driven poorly round the Lotus test track.

Think I might be in love with Tamy

Easily done. Even in my ham filled extremities at the end of each upper body protrusion.

Photo 35 is the best.

Did you really need to show the insulation tape in 32?

Could I have a full res copy of 17?

Biggest distrations of the day were being buzzed by a Blackhawk and an Apache helicopter
