longton and district website and send with funds!
its a round of there championship so you may as well sign up for that as its only £15 or something. and you get £10 off per event if your
regisetered!
if you want to do testing you need race lisence and have to phone up to book. also some strict db limits at certain times, and testing is weekdays
only i think

Not that I can think of mate, there's a lot booked on and I can see myself getting in a lot of traffic holding everyone up, but should be fun.
Cheers.

So today was Cadwell Park, the first track day of mine for 2014… now Cadwell Park holds a few memories for me - mainly being my personal favourite of
the country from back in my Nova days, suited my driving style along with the old XE with Quaife straight-cut gearbox…. however I stacked it into the
barriers at Park Corner… so there were little demons today….
Lets rewind, last night in my preparation for today - I decided to check my oil level, with it being midnight (what other time would you do such a
thing?!) I didn't want to start the car, so I stupidly checked my dry sump tank and realised it was low on oil… so in my bleary eyed way… what
did I do? Yes of course, I topped it up…. I thought - good job I checked, I thought…
So my trailers maiden voyage went completely without a hitch (sorry, couldn't resist) and was perfect all the way there, despite only being
90 miles from us, its completely across country up the A46 so took about 2 hours there abouts
Got the Cadwell, got car off trailer - sorted. Noise check… they spotted it was BEC, they spotted it was 11k/12k rev limit, so they asked me for
7krpm… so up I go, 103dB, thats cool with me - I'm there.
Got back to my parking space next to my trailer, to what can only be described as the Exorcist scene of oil, instead of blood… absolutely everywhere -
couldn't think for the life of me where it was gushing from.
Whacked the engine off, checked the time, brilliant, not even 08:30am and we have problems, grrr.
So I was about to grab my spare t-shirts to start mopping up, but thanks to Andrew (unijacko67) he went and told the marshals who came over and did it
all for me - couldn't have been better, they mopped up, put sand down, gave me a load of absorbent rally pads, and then offered to jet wash my
engine bay to save it being spread about, which we did. Spot on. Thats better.
From there on in, the car ran perfectly, many thanks for the journey that my car has been on - mainly thanks to cosmick for his constant help and
assistance, but equally so to Mat Gilmore @ ProComp - him and his Dad have single handedly turned my car from being a jalopy to drive, to a machine.
Cannot recommend and thank them enough for their hard work last October… sorry its took so long to see the proof in the pudding, but Andrew
(unijacko67) will vouch for how it handles despite everything else…
Anyway - enough of my ramblings, top day, cool, warmed up in the afternoon, no rain, put my slicks on - they were also awesome - in the process now of
getting the photos up, and videos onto YouTube
My brother in law turned up, and he managed to get a cracking shot of my with my front wheels off the floor at the top of the mountain he's
gone away until Monday, so I took a shot of the back of his camera - cracking catch this - I know Jon Ison has a very similar shot, but his front
wheels are much further off the tarmac

I'm guessing ('cos you don't say) that it wasn't low on oil, but just drained back into the sump with the engine off, and
overflowed when running.

Sorry yes, I didn't explain - I wasn't aware that on a dry sump system, when the engine is switched off - the oil gets dumped in to the
engine yes… so I topped it up (without it running) so when I did start it - it spewed EVERYWHERE lol

It was a good day, I loved it, but my ears are shot as my good lady passenger was a tad vocal. Olly (yellowcab) I need to rename you to oily, lol.
Good driving Oily.
Ps forgot to take any pictures in the pits so can you send me those with the Kitten in to andrew@jacksonsmail.co.uk

Our Robert was in the scary seat of the scooby and I had Robert's mate in with me, he said it was so fast and uneventful, but I guess
that's what a good driver does, the handling was out of this world and at no time did he think it was going to get out of shape.
It was a completely different scenario when he came out with me !!!!!!

First time at Cadwell Park for me in the Busa, last time I was here I was driving the Nova!
Worth a full watch for those loving bike engine'd cars... Speakers up, for some reason the first two laps remind me of greyhound racing, letting
me out the stocks to catch the bait, the Civic and the two MX5's… on freezing cold slicks mind, hence slow to begin with...
Then 2m 12s is awesome… MX5, MX5, Golf GTi, Megane & Clio all on the start/finish straight heading into Coppice…
Then wait for the fastest Saxo I've come across to make an appearance, fantastic tussle, albeit I was naughty to chase on a trackday, all in the
name of fun.
Brilliant trackday by Javelin, recorded on a GoPro HD Hero 2

Did the mclarren actually go on the track? I saw it roll up in the scrutineering area at dinner time, but I left around 2:30 so didn't see him
do anything other than mince around the place
