They are strict on noise, over 100db and you won't be allowed on.





If you're not living life on the edge you're taking up too much room.

Here you go :-


Video

......not the most eventful trackday vid I'm afraid. I pull over to let a very rapid Porsche GT3R go by, you can just about hear me miss 4th gear as I desperately try to hang on to him down the main runway. Likewise with the black Elise, who goes by and immediately conks out, which heralded the end of that session, just as I was starting to enjoy it.

I bought the set of pictures of my car at Abingdon, that guy took some really great shots, didn't think £20 was bad for 50 high-res images, especially as car will probably get sold..... Rescued attachment RSMSE200907242631.jpg

I'm up for another go, but won't be for a while as I don't have much holiday left.

At least my prop is sorted now so should be a bit more competitive.

good news with the prop Stu

did you get the joint changed over for a smaller one or give the tunnel a good whack!

It seemed much easier to move the 2 chassis members that the joint was hitting than to change the joint. Also, I'm sure the bigger joint will be stronger.

I just cut out the two pieces of box section it was hitting and welded in some new pieces a couple of inches back. I then welded in some 5mm bar where the original pieces had been to keep some strength.

There is now about 30mm gap either side of the joint.
