Bruntingthorpe Sat 31st of May

MK Sportscars have arranged another trackday at Bruntingthorpe on the 31/05/08,again £99 for the full day on track,no extra charge for extra drivers or passengers,which is great value,as the usual price for Bruntingthorpe if booked direct with "Big Thunder" is £99 + £25 for each extra driver + £5 Per extra passenger.
To book on call MK sportscars on 01709 816138.
These trackdays are open to all MK owners,and anyone looking to buy,or thinking of buying a MK,its a good day to meet and chat with other kitcar builders.
The supercharged GSXR1000 INDY SPEC-R will be there for FREE passenger rides.

For those who have not been to Bruntingthorpe before,it is a great track for anyone doing there 1st trackday,plenty of run off,and nothing much to run into,with the support of MK sportscars,and other MK owners help you out,they are a very relaxed trackday event,loads of banter a good fun day

I spoke to Phil at MK this morning he said he would welcome a few other types of 7 type kitcars along to the event,so if anyone else wishes to come along they can do so,just ring MK Sportscars and put your name on the list,this will ensure you pay just £99 on the day all in.

Is there any noise restrictions for the day? ahh just found it 98bd static, 87.5 drive by.

Any one in the Berkshire area with a semi-decent noise meter that I can use to test my car? or suggestions as to what I can use to get an indiciation.

zx9r c engine, standard bike exhaust.

If you have a standard can,and not a race can,and standard airbox,you will be fine,they are concerned at Bruntingthorpe but the driveby noise meter is a long way from the track,and the static 98dbs they only do at 5000rpm,even on a bike engined car ,so everyone passes that
If you do get black flaged for noise,MK take along a few db killers and will fit one to your exhaust,but we have not had any problems yet.

Cheers Paul,

it is a standard bike can, but I have a sausage filter rather than std airbox. The filter sits under the bonnet bonnet, buldge if that makes any difference.

Would love to do one of these, but no chance with a sausage filter

Might have to get me fibreglass out and try and make a box some time!

Just noticed previous post - have people run with sausages there before successfully then? Did they actively ban anyone? I've got an exhaust insert I take to trackdays anyway, but my can is pretty quiet (standard GSXR road can) and all the baffle does is make it run like a bag of spanners. Not a lot I can do about induction noise though.

You should be ok Simon if the filter is under the bonnet,Gaz with the GSXR1000 had his filter stuck out of the bonnet the first time we went,which was taking the wee a bit,but still he just got told to throttle off pass the noise meter,you can always tape the hole in the scoop up with 100mph tape,if its a problem,we have done 2 events there now,no one has been took off the track yet

Guess I'd best make sure it stays on then

Just checked the diary and it looks like the Mrs has already penciled me in for something on that date If I can't make this one though then I'll hopefully get along to the next one!

I may look to burst by track cherry at this (depending on family and finances).

Is anyone else signed up yet?


Anyone got any tips for the day. Just done oil and plugs change. Anything else?

What about fuel, is see there is no fuel available onsite, can you leave the site during the day to get more?

Sorry, I have losts of questions, its 100 plus miles from the house, so want to try and understand all that is involved, before I commit.

There's around 10 cars booked on up to now.
Fuel,you can either fill up before you come in,then nip out at lunch to fill up again,there's a petrol station,2 miles away,or bring a few cans with you.
The good thing with MK being there you don't need to bring any tools etc,MK will help out with trackday back up.
Don't forget driving licence,and helmet.
Its a real easy going trackday open pit lane,come on off track at any time,nice wide track,plenty of room to overtake,and drive as fast or slow as you like
