Have you booked yet for [URL]C.R.E.A.M 2005?|http://www.cream2005.info[/URL]

We are so close to having a unique and historic event.
[b]We only need 10 more Cerbera owners to book the track and it can be the first
EXCLUSIVE Cerbera only track day.[/b]

Sadly I HAVE to make a financial decision this week, so PLEASE book the track day [URL]NOW|http://www.aauk.biz/cream2005/booking.htm[/URL]
if you plan to do it in your Cerbera or I will have to open it up to other TVR's who
have asked to join the track day as I must cover costs, so this is the [b]FINAL CALL
Please book for the track [URL]TODAY!|http://www.aauk.biz/cream2005/booking.htm[/URL] or I'll have to open the track to others! [/b] :shout:

A great many bookings have come in during the last two weeks, so many thanks to all of you. :bow:
[i]...But there are still plenty who said they would do the track day and who have yet to book at all.[/i] ;)

Trade places are now being taken, so if you wish to add your company to the largest Cerbera
gathering EVER, then [URL]book here|http://www.aauk.biz/cream2005/tradebooking.htm[/URL]

I am working on the event updates right now which include more attractions, an advance
merchandise booking form, a special raffle and a attendee packs.

Finally, to clarify things, there will be no head to head racing here, just an excellent track day,
individual high speed runs, the largest gathering of Cerberas ever seen, some stunning display
cars, tickets to the RAF museum and lots, lots more!

You just have to be there! :yes:

Sob......wail......howl......moan........

Oh God...........

Graham, congratulations for all your hard work on what looks to me turning into an absolutely fantastic event. I thought I was getting over selling the Cerb, but reading this post has brought it all back again.

I'm going off to cry over spilt milk.


Perhaps if I put round headlights and a silly exhaust on the M5 no one would notice....

I would love to book today, but it looks like I'll be arriving back at Heathrow early on Saturday morning from a business trip. I'm just not sure that I'll be able to make it!

Yes I have the confirmation via my email...

Think this may have been asked before....but...track day noise levels???.......mine is a tad loud!...decatted and sports pipes...I have gone a bit deaf since removing cats so you'll have to answer! ....I have purchased some trackday silencers, (the slip in type...oh er missus...)...and hope that these will surffice....Ray (yellow perils better half) I believe has a db meter and Im hoping to get to the Mid Essex meet on the 11th Sept to test them out...

Hi Paddy.

Indeed, all cars must comply with 105db.
This was impossed on the venue after we had booked, but most cars should easily be under that as it is
still one of the loudest limits around.

There will be silencers available for purchase (20% discounts!!) or for hire for as little as £16.00 + VAT for a pair.

Pre booking of silencers is strongly advised if you are in any doubt.

I'll be making some major updates early next week after revisiting the venue this weekend and while
there I will also obtain some guide noise figures.

You are welcome to join me Paddy if you are about, drop me a line if you are.

Hi Paddy.

The track day organisers state this:

We therefore have set a noise limit of 105dB(a) at 3/4 throttle at 0.5 metres from the tailpipe. This is the same limit imposed on most road based race / rally competition cars and is not hard to achieve. We may not test every car as we feel experienced enough to selectively test the noisier cars. We will carry out a free noise test for you at any of our events if you are at all unsure.

put a block of wood under the accelerator. 3/4 throttle is then at lower revs!!

I think they'll do drive by as well.

On second thoughts...

better leave the bassbox at home


Such a nasty restriction, 105dbs
My cerb wasnt de-catted, just with a sports exhaust and she would make 110dbs on the meter!

Graham, maybe you can get some understanding from them, tell them that Cerbera's are flat-plane V8s and they dont like to be restricted, can be dangerous to their health, and unless the organisers are willing to face court action from many owners from engine failures, they should change the decibal limit to 110dbs

I wish Ash!
It's the tree hugging council, not the track.

Many Cerbs use Bedford WITHOUT silencers and that has a 99db limit, so the majority should be ok at 105db.

Anyway, I'll have noise figures after the weekend and the hire of silencers is not great.
