Your knockhill lap time

[Emubiker]

Just thought it would be a good idea to see what sort of lap times people get around the track. Please state the car and its level of modification or racing catagory, the weather conditions at the time and obviously, your time.


I'll get us started.

lots of times here - http://trackscotland.co.uk/forums/viewtopic.php?t=...

[rstoughy]

E46 M3 CSL, AP's all round, Cup Tyres.
Damp with dry line.
63sec.

Went off line a little coming out the hairpin and spun the wheels up so could have possibly managed a bit better but will have to wait until next year now.

I think the best I ever managed in my VXT was about 67 (timed on video)

Roddy with the lambo murci will be too modest to post but I understand with a stadard car and tyres he has gone round in under a minute, i think 57sec?

Me; under 5 minutes!!

126mph in third at end of main staight in the QV before feet through floor (brakes arent good on the old girl!)

What's the lap record for them ?

I think someone may be a little bit modest

The lap record is 1:03.324 by Charlie Cope in 2007, I did a 1:03.368 on the same day. But mine was in qualifying so wouldn't have counted as a record anyway.

Interesting list - 56 seconds in a 328GTB is quite some going - susopect somebody had been playing under the engine cover!

There's some pretty impressive times in that link, noteably 59.040 Mark CAMPBELL Triumph TR5 being one of them, me thinks that was no Standard Triumph (forgive the pun)

Was that the Gallagher one? I've seen two, or, maybe the same one twice but two different colours, a white one a few years ago, and an 'RS blue' one earlier this year, both were awesome!!

[PJM5L]

I once did a 1m 23 secs in a '92 mini 1000 with twin 1-1/4" 'SU's and an LCB manifold on a track day, does that count for anything? OK, not the quickest time but certainly the biggest smile doing it!

same car, andy built 2 of them the latest 1 he used in 2009 it ran in white before being painted into the AG Motorsport livery, that car went to charlie shaw for 2010 and last I heard the shell was on ebay. the only car in scotland that could possibly rival it now is Stewart Whyte's 750bhp escort cossy. with the regulations changing in 2011 andy's time wont be beaten.

would love to see the national sprints back but due to cost they will be going to inglston and kames. reckon that stewart robb could go faster than his 45.4 as that car was upgraded in 2010

I don't think it was the cost that stopped the national sprint events ... it was poor organisation.

IIRC, the last national sprint event at KH was 19th May 2007.

The weather was atrocious and the efforts of the organising club were similar.

I don’t think they were helped at all by the track management either.

The paddock was a mess with all sorts of random vehicles in random places. They didn’t even have a paddock marshal so nobody knew when to head for the queue (they did try to use the PA but it was pretty much inaudible).

It was such a cluster fook that I said at the time I wouldn’t be back.

My understanding was that the organising club responded to the barrage of criticism by just throwing the towel in. I could be wrong.

I think the Scottish and national sprint community would welcome KH back to the calendar, even with a slightly greater than normal entry fee, but I don’t think KH need or particularly want the business.

Ingliston at the beginning of this year was Dunfermline Car Club’s first sprint event (to my knowledge) and, in contrast, the organisation was superb – bordering on the slick! I acknowledge that they were supported, to an extent, by Lothian.

At Kames, the organisation is always first class but, I guess, a wee bit easier since it’s a dedicated venue. I always enjoy going there as I think EACC are the friendliest club in Scotland and beyond.

In summary, I’d quite like KH to be reintroduced but their management would have to buy in to it and a suitably competent car club would have to organise.

Cheers,

Eric
