Fancy it - yes.
Tight on the noise limit (98 dB) - yes, even with cans. I was 104 dB Saturday without cans.....

[phazed]

I believe I was about 94 with cans.

The tvrcc have run events there so it must be doable.

I know a nice B&B place with garages and a 2 post lift about 20 miles from there

OOoh err missus.....you sure know how to tempt a track addict.....

But that's a proper race track, you won't get away with spinning at the end of the main straight there chap!
Or anywhere else on that circuit.

Oil avya know that's the first time I have had a spin in three track days since I had the car corner weighted. And then only because I was out there braving it on road tyres less than 30 minutes after Noah launched Ark 2, rather than sitting in the garage like some.......

I used to have three spins per track day in the dry, but have not had one dry spin since I took the best beloved ballast to the TVRCC track day last September.

[Alun450]

That's because its been wet since September! With those tyres I should hope so.
Im turning up with pucker soft slicks and fk your S/C and race engines, I won't come out of 4th unless I need 5 th.

One day !!!!!!!!!!!!
Im jeleous, sorry.

Now then The thread, Peter what a fantastic choice.
Love it. Just sitting in the pits is fun there.
Errr you get fined if you spin and or hit a barrier so I better take a loan out then, yeeeee haaaaa
Anthony you'll have bought the place by the time you leave, lol
Stop fking spinning will you, its dangerous.
I'm getting a new computer just so I can use these smilie thingies!
Hate computers almost as much as traction control.

I've been to Goodwood only once, I'm now crying
Barry sheene raced his last race there.
Fantastic place, fantastic track, brilliant viewing, excellent little chicanes, proper cool pit,
Step back in time, balls out track and pain on arrival at hospital.
Respect is needed,
That sounds familiar,,,,,,,,, a Tvr needs those qualities so the cars would rock there.
I'd love to get down there.

[phazed]

You can stay at the guest house Alun.

[Alun450]

Not sure ill even have the car on the road Peter. I feel like making that my goal but I'm not much into deadlines with the car.

Honest I'd cry all day that bloke meant that much to me! Sheenie not Anthony but I care about everybody who goes on track.

I'm in an odd mood, banks all day!!!! My head spins with finance. I've got hundreds of accounts,all with diddly squat in the buggers! Well a good few anyways!

I've looked at a house tonight with a garage and two beds on top, there's a front door and three garage doors, my kind of place.
I'm not quite in a position to move on it so proper frustrated.

I'm down at SevernOaks wed, checking out Ltd slip dif for a Westfield, then on to somewhere to collect wheels. I'd pop by but its gonna take all day. I can't wait to see your new car.

I really want to do Goodwood but its emotional, not good, I'd love to take an hour walking the track early morning!

I pulled the cover off today before I went to town, what a car.

[QBee]

Why a Westfield diff?

[phazed]

Let me know if you can make a visit Alun.

I'm up in London part of the day. Be good to see you.

[Rib]

Not 100% my car will be back on the road by then. Looks a cracker though!

[phazed]

I did this track about 7-8 years ago in an XJS v12! What a barge compared to the chim.

It is quite a quick track and a great day out.

I'll put this on the events later, the more the merrier.

[Alun450]

Its for my friends car Anthony. Anthony do you still have my phone number. Give us a bell mate, I lost my phone last summer and all my contacts. Who has a black book these days!
I have to meet someone tomorrow evening Peter! Tight on time!

I hear you re- Mallery Anthony. We'd all need cans though 97 top limit.
To late for race Callander but a private session is an option.

I'm going over there sometime soon to ask!

[phazed]

A decat standard system with cans is about 94.

[Alun450]

Yes and all standard (catted) cars should pass.
I've done a couple of days at Mallery with the Jag boys,
Here's a good idea.
Open pit lane but three categories
Beginner
Intermediate
Expert.
Twenty mins each session allowing people to drive at safe speeds.
Just a wrist band thing, loosely policed so if you feel like moving up you can.
Mainly its for the beginners to feel happy and not having a faster car all over them.
Just a thought.
