Blyton, 28th March some info...
fha772 - 17/3/14 at 09:47 AM
Hi all,
Just a quick post about Blyton,
I've asked about running the eastern circuit in the afternoon.
I've been told that they will make that decision during the morning session as it is quite a tricky layout, and a couple have already found the
Armco at the end of Curve Grande. So they will make the decision on safety, and also numbers, as they can't run as many cars on that layout.
Camping the night before is on, the gates will be open until 8pm, but if you turn up before 9pm, call me (07815070491,and you'll be let in, if
you've had major problems give me a call and I'll see what I can do after that, but I can't promise anything after 9pm.
Also, if there's enough interest, they might get the go karts out on the kart track for us to have a go on on Friday. 
That's all for now, cheers Frank.

If anyone has any issues with the car which a welder (mig) or big arse compressor will solve I live 4 miles east of blyton but maybe moving on that
day to less than a mile away. I am rubbish at welding but you can use it. Also if someone comes over and helps me I'll throw it in car to bring
to track.
Cost of labour 50p per hour.
Jon Ison - 17/3/14 at 10:31 AM
great offer, but 50p per hour, extortionate 
Please u2u me yr number don't anticipate needing assistance but I do Blyton regularly, yr number could be a useful edition, plentiful passenger
laps in return plus in dragons dens speak, I'm going to make you an offer, the full 50p

I'm just gauging opinion here, a friend of mine has asked me on behalf of somebody at her sons school.
A friend of her son is 18, he has ceribal palsy (I've probably spelt that wrong), and he's mad about Motorsport, and has always wanted to
have a ride in a track car.
If he can come, would any of you be happy to take him for a ride round the track?
Obviously not flat out, just a couple of warm up laps.
Cheers Frank.
adithorp - 17/3/14 at 02:17 PM
I'd happily take him out. I've done a "Wishes for kids" day at Donington a couple of times and you spend all day giving sick and
handicaped kids rides around a sprint circuit.
As for not flat out, at the W4K day we work a thumb signal system; thumb down for slower, level for OK, up for faster... never seen anything but
thumbs up yet!
woodstock - 17/3/14 at 02:31 PM
I'd be happy to take him/her out for a run too - thumbs up, down sounds like a good way of doing things.
The only possible problem might be that I have a full roll cage and no doors so getting in and out might be tricky, especially with ceribal palsy.
Chris
Jon Ison - 17/3/14 at 02:41 PM
ditto the above, simple thumb signals will be strictly obeyed, if I can put a smile on their face then that's all the encouragement I need to
take them out.

Dunno, it's the de briefing on Thursday night I'm worried about, reckon on 8- 8.30 for Friday.

How about 50p but if I get your car working I get another 50p?

This was the timetable last time...
8.00 am : Signing on
9.00 am : Safety Briefing
9.30 am : Sighting laps
10.00 am - 12.30 pm : Open Pit Lane
12.30- 1.30 pm : Lunch Break
1.30 - 5.00 pm : Open pit lane.
5.00 Pm : Chequered Flag.
I'd guess it'll be the same or very similar.
fha772 - 19/3/14 at 02:06 PM
As far as I know it's the same timetable for the day, but there might be another sighting lap after lunch, if the layout changes.
Just to gauge opinion, I was thinking of asking everyone who is there just to have passenger rides if they would make a voluntary donation to go to
charity as well.
So far we've raised £1,000, with the surplus money from the day, I didn't think it would hurt to ask.
What do you think?
Cheers Frank.
Jon Ison - 19/3/14 at 02:46 PM
Sounds cool to me, Im sure everyone would feel the same.
Any news on your friends son appearing ?

I'm starting to fear your car Dan!
I get so close to a few laps and either you run out of fuel or the gear linkage breaks....it's an Omen at work here
Not bringing my Michelins either, they were terrible around Blyton, couldnt get any heat into them at all. 888's for me.
