It's booked!!!

A date for your diaries people, Friday 28th March.
We're back at Blyton for another great day!!

It's the same as before, £100 per car, no extra for passengers, or extra drivers.

There will be a few more places this time, as I don't think there were any traffic issues last time, so another 4-5 cars won't hurt.

Any left over money from the day, I'm going to donate to a charity, no body is earning out if this (well I'm not anyway).

Nick from Xtreme photography has said he will come again to take pictures of the day.

I'm also going to try and arrange a few other things for the day.
Maybe a bit of a raffle, and that sort of thing, to try and make more of the day.

Anyway, as usual, I need a £40 non-refundable deposit*, to confirm your place, with the balance of £60 to be paid before 14th February.

You can contact me at; frank-hall@hotmail.co.uk

I will add more details as things are confirmed.

Cheers Frank.


(* if you back out, the deposit will be donated to charity.)

I'm in.

Deposit sent.

Cheers Dan!!

Hi,

Yes, there's still places left.
The rules are pretty relaxed, single seaters are fine, you can check on the Blytin website, but I think the sound limit is 102db (pro Motorsport levels).

Cheers Frank.

Add me to the list. Deposit sent.

Looks good to me!!!

Ian

money sent frank. whats the situation with camping/getting access the night before? hopefully ill get there a bit sooner this time
thanks again for all the hard work and the donations to the charity! just hope you have better luck with your car this time

Money received.

As far as I know, the camping is the same as last time, £10 per pitch and the gates close at 8pm.
I'll have a word with Richard, and see if it's possible to leave the gates until 9pm, but I can't promise anything.

I'll probably do a few rounds of the Nationals myself this year. However, I'm way down on talent with RC compared to you Sir.

---

Can I still get on this?

there will be loads of spaces left mate i'd imagine. it wont book up until a few weeks before the event i think

Hi,

At the minute there's 18 places booked, so there's 17-22 places left.

EDIT: I've call round at Blyton today, they've laid an extra mile of Tarmac!! It's looking good

Cheers Frank.

[Edited on 11/12/13 by fha772]

where have they extended the circuit frank? id assume out near the start finish straight/first corner?

It seems to be longer at the other end of the track and there's another piece across the centre, that's all I could see, there was a team testing there, and I wasn't allowed up on the banking to see better.
Richard said that he's having some new arial pictures of it in the next week or so.

All the additional tarmac is on the infield, hard to explain the route it takes, wasent in use last weekend.

I had a go on an infield bit earlier this year.. I'd seen a version of it on youtube and thought it looked a bit mickey mouse, but I was pleasantly surprised.. it's actually OK. If you get a clear run through all of the esses section it's superb, but that's where the main problem lies I suppose, it's a lengthy peice of circuit to find a clear shot at it.

Vid from the day here, the last few minutes chasing the red Westy was a good couple of clear ones.
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7WMFj3BD01w

Be interested to know if there's more track been laid.

There's more now at the opposite end, was only laid two weeks ago.

Whats the format? Open pit? how many participants?

Open pit, last time we had 35 cars there, this time I'm planning 40 because there was no problems with waiting to get on track last time. Plus it means it'll raise a bit more money for charity.

2, I'm missing quite a few peoples contact email, and phone numbers, can everyone u2u me their details so I can fill the blanks in.

barry. try to contact frank. the original post. he may be able to get you a place or put you on the list as a reserve. you need a full face helmet,long sleeved top and pants so no exposed skin,and harnesses. apart from that youll get noise tested at most events (but the ppc blyton wont bother unless someone is crazy loud on a driveby) there will be no static test.
its friendly,non competative and a great venue!

A little reminder...

To everyone who has paid their deposits, please remember I need the balance by the end of this next week please.

I will be starting another thread about camping, if anyone wants to camp the night before, it's £10 per pitch payable on the night, and the gates are locked at 8pm.

Cheers Frank.

8pm ! oh dear,ill need to get a move on to avoid last years situation. just sleep at the gates,or scale the fences

Payment sent, Frank.

Got it, cheers.

Balance sent.

Hi, I've just emailed you.

I hope there is still space although going by the thread 'countdown' i'm guessing you are now out. If so, could i go on the reserve list please ?

fingers crossed

Chris

Balance paid

Please can you remind me of your paypal details so I can send the balance please.

Also, one of the three places I have. may not now be required. Please can you confirm how we go about re-allocation.

Thanks

Ian

Thanks to everyone who's paid their balance, there's still a good few that haven't.
If you haven't paid yet, please can you pay in the next few days, as I have got to go later this week to pay the balance at Blyton.

Cheers Frank.

Cheers Guys, thanks for that.

I'm still waiting for a few people...

For those that still have to pay their balance, can you please sort no later than Monday please.

Thanks Frank.

Due to a cancellation, there are now 2 places available.
If anyone is interested, or know anyone that is, please get in touch.

Cheers Frank.

Is it Ok to turn up (spectator) and pay for the camping on the spot? Or do I need to pay if I sleep in the back of Dobbie?

Due to no Newark and going to Malta on Stoneleigh weekend need some events to have a bit chin wag and beer up!

Yeah that's fine, you're welcome to come the night before, it's £10 to camp.
You can give me that on the night.

are we on the new circuit frank? hope so!

I'll be talking to Richard this week, I was thinking, if we can, we could do half a day on the old, and half on the new layout, I thought it'd make the day more fun.

great idea mate!

[Edited on 7/3/14 by daniel mason]

It's now full!! Cheers Frank.

Hi all,

Due to somebody's car blowing it's engine, I've now got a place available on this Friday's track day (28th).
If anyone wants it please let me know ASAP, this is available on first come, first served basis, the first person with £100 gets the place.

Cheers Frank.

Ok, so far I not booked in for work and up for a look down.

I'm planning on being there Thursday evening and i think unijack with the green kitten is too.

Ian

ill be travelling down with jacko and eddie i think. sometime thursday afternoon,if my discs turn up

Hoping to get to Blyton Thursday around 6 or 7pm with Dan, Eddie & the girls. I'm hoping to have time to load the cast iron chimney and some "dry" wood as the hill billy's smoked us out last time and I think that's why I was not feeling to well the following day.

Looking forward to meeting up again as I've run out of chalk and hoping Owelly will bring me some more.

Would like a proper passenger lap with some of the fast bike engined cars as Olly's made me realise how very wrong I'm getting it at Cadwell.

Frank, would I be able to cadge a hookup cable if I don't get one in time just in case it's cold.

[Edited on 25/3/14 by unijacko67]

try to get some laps with jon ison or adi t jacko. them to can both peddle a car!

unijacko67 - 27/3/14 at 12:42 AM

Well I may well be just a passenger as my front stub axle is bent. It's so bad as to depending where I nip it up tight in the alloy upright the disc moves up to 5mm in between the calliper throat. My smaller disc always displayed a small amount of deviation on that hub and the larger ones are exaggerating the problem. That explains why my tracking has altered every time I've re built the front end. The only problem I will have is the disc slapping the pads back in and a crap pedal. On a very positive note I now know what the problem is. Still going to make up the numbers and will ring around tomorrow to see if I can get a fresh one. There must be something else not true also like the hub face to disc face, but running out of time to see what's wrong.

The joy's of a self build eh!!!!!!!!

Do Rally Design do them?

---

Oddified - 27/3/14 at 08:51 AM

It won't be the stub axle, if that was bent it would still run true but at an angle. If the disc has 5mm run out then it has to be either the hub/faces/bells/disc. Refit the normal disc's just to test it...
