Teesside Trackday 7th August
Guinness - 27/6/06 at 10:36 PM

Hi Guys

The NE7ER's are organising another trackday at Middlesbrough. As last time, £75 a car gets you a full day on this 2.4km track, with a free lunch and an instuctor is available all day. Pit lane opens at 9.00am and closes at 5.00pm. There is a BP station within 1 mile selling BP Ultimate, if that's your preference.

At the moment we have 23 confirmed entries and the track can handle 30 cars. So we need another 7 cars! Preferably Sevens!

Anyone interested MUST email peter @ peter@pellis.co.uk by this Friday confirming their place and making arrangements to make a payment to Peter.

If we don't get to 30, then either the track day is cancelled or the cost per car will go up. Or we open it up to TVR's and Elises etc.

Come on there must be a few northern builders who will be passed their SVA by then?

Cheers

What's the noise limit?

Leigh


Guinness - 28/6/06 at 06:19 AM

"There is a nominal noise limit of 107db "

But I ran there with no packing in my can all day and they never said anything!!!

Linky to Petrolheads / Peters website.

Cheers

Mike

It was a great day last time out I would recommend it

Cheers

Mark

B0LL0CKS... I would have loved that one, but I'm on holiday!!!

Steve


JoelP - 28/6/06 at 05:13 PM

me too, but its only 1 month before my wedding....


kipper - 28/6/06 at 08:09 PM

E mailed peter to confirm an interest and to ask him to reserve me a place.
See you there.
Regards Kipper.


JoelP - 28/6/06 at 08:35 PM

im in too. Just need a return email and i can get payment sent off


petrolhead - 28/6/06 at 09:15 PM

Joel and Denis

Got you emails and replied

The situation is that I have 20 paid up people with a few more promissing funds.

If I do not get 30 cars I can either cancel, which would be a shame, or increase the amount to £90 which is still excellent value and will give you more track time.

I should know better by this weekend. The extra would be paid on the day but hopefully with Mikes help (Cheers Mike) we will get 30 and there will be no extra to pay

Cheers

Peter

JoelP - 2/7/06 at 03:24 PM

he's not too regular on this forum i think, best bet is to email the address provided (first post), he answers quick usually. Im fairly sure there are places left.

[Edited on 2/7/06 by JoelP]


mandbsheldon - 2/7/06 at 03:40 PM

tried that as well


JoelP - 2/7/06 at 03:53 PM

dumb question, but you didnt put the @ twice did you?!


mandbsheldon - 2/7/06 at 04:24 PM


richijenkin - 3/7/06 at 03:10 PM

Guinness - 3/7/06 at 06:47 PM

He doesn't get on here much.

Cheers



Mike


Coose - 3/7/06 at 08:20 PM

Peter


petrolhead - 3/7/06 at 09:20 PM

There are now a potention of only 2 places so if you are interested I would email me pronto


petrolhead - 5/7/06 at 10:08 PM

Please, please ,please do not contact me unless you are genuinely want to do this track day

I seem to have spent most of the week chasing people who emailed wanting to do the track day but have then never bothered to get back to me

very frustrating


JoelP - 6/7/06 at 10:25 PM

cummon chaps, you know it will be fun


mandbsheldon - 7/7/06 at 02:36 PM

Woohoo, that's me going

leigh

JoelP - 7/7/06 at 05:11 PM

Coose - 11/7/06 at 05:32 PM

Only if he's a good boy........


TangoMan - 20/7/06 at 10:24 AM

Anyone know if this event is still on and if there are any spaces.
I have emailed Peter but have not got a response and his web site has a balnk page if you follow the link.


Coose - 20/7/06 at 10:50 AM

There may be a couple. I've emailed Peter at work and asked him to have a look here. Watch this space!


petrolhead - 20/7/06 at 10:59 AM

The page is still working - http://www.petrolhead.me.uk/lanbaugh.htm

Tis me.

I tried the web page again and for some reason I see most of the page as blank but can them scroll across and find the text.

Let me know once you have spoken,if a space is available.

Ta,

Steve


eddymcclements - 4/8/06 at 10:30 AM

I can't go!!!! I have been banned by the missus from being so far away from home when she's 38 weeks pregnant, in case she goes into labour. Fair enough really - I hadn't done the maths when booking the trackday.

So, does anyone want my place? I've already paid Peter so if you'd like to go, just send me the 75 quid and it's yours.

U2U me and I'll reply with my mobile number.

Cheers,

Eddy
(about to be a dad...again!)


JoelP - 7/8/06 at 05:17 PM

that kicked ass bigtime!!!

big thanks to the chaps who arranged it, that was the most fun ive had all year!


Guinness - 7/8/06 at 06:31 PM

yeah, biiiiigggg thanks to Peter and Mike for organising that one. great day, good weather, good crowd, overall 10/10!

hope you can edit some of the bullet cam footage down and get it hosted. (feel free to edit out my spin!!!)

cheers

mike


JoelP - 7/8/06 at 06:42 PM

what was that mike, remove everything except the spins?! Lol, it needs some serious editing, as theres nearly an hour of footage. Now wheres my manual...?


TangoMan - 7/8/06 at 09:01 PM

What a great day. Bloody typical though. SWMBO tells me to slow down on the track and then she drives home at nearly 100mph.
My first trackday in the seven and I really enjoyed it. Nice people, great cars and a n interesting track. Perhaps a little short but quite tricky.
Thanks to Peter and Mike. A great day.


Guinness - 8/8/06 at 08:37 AM

Joel

Looking forward to seeing the clip of my moment

Had to laugh when Mike K described your car as the half finished locost! Had to explain that it was fully finished when you bought it and you've spent most of your time ripping bits off it!

Hope you get that shifter welded up OK.

Cheers

Mike


Coose - 8/8/06 at 09:16 AM

Ahhhhh, that was Joel! That's the beauty of these events - suddenly you can put a face to a name!

Here's an interesting pic: -



It's out of Mark's S2 Lotus 'blade. Spot the error!


Guinness - 8/8/06 at 09:35 AM

Shouldn't the oily bits be inside the engine?


whoops
whoops


Least he was smiling! even if it was too hot to hold with bear hands!

Hope he gets it sorted soon.

Cheers

Mike

Fantastic day, thanks to those who organised it! Any pictures/video floating around.

JoelP - 8/8/06 at 05:03 PM

did you get your tyre sorted leigh? it was you wasnt it?!


mandbsheldon - 8/8/06 at 07:21 PM

Yep, that was me. I've left it for the time being. Pumped it up to 18psi, I'll check it tomorrow. Thought all of that abuse might just have re-seated it-maybe It was a great day!!!

Glad you had fun guys. I did

I took loads of photos but having difficulty putting names to cars. I will be sending a mail shortly

I have about 20 pics of your car Leigh. I have discovered that orange is a very photogenic colour


petrolhead - 8/8/06 at 10:03 PM

leigh


JoelP - 9/8/06 at 07:12 PM

mandbsheldon - 9/8/06 at 07:18 PM

Can you post it? would love to have a look at that

Leigh


JoelP - 9/8/06 at 07:38 PM

im waiting for a dv firewire lead to arrive off fleebay (£2.50, or 20 in comet ), then it will all get sent to google video. I didnt see you go off, just passed you sat there

I got mikes moment, and a few of my own though, so all is well!

[Edited on 9/8/06 by JoelP]


Guinness - 9/8/06 at 07:49 PM

moment, moi? I think not!

My tyres had gone off! There was a rabbit on the exit to the corner! I thought I saw Elvis!

Can't wait to see the vids!

Cheers

Mike


Winston Todge - 9/8/06 at 10:59 PM

Whats the wiring thats hanging down from underneath your car in those pics Mike?

Chris.


Guinness - 10/8/06 at 07:00 AM

Oil pressure switch and oil pressure gauge wiring!

Fitted the sender for the oil pressure gauge into a brass t-piece in the sump a while back. Well the brass t-piece snapped off with the vibration on a blat. Emergency repair was to stick a rivet in the hole and pull the wires off the senders. Wires must have come loose from where I wrapped them up!

Must get on and get a remote fitting kit for my oil senders.

Cheers

Mike

slight error in the weight of right foot calibration



Guinness - 10/8/06 at 02:36 PM

I know the flag for oil on the track is red and yellow stripes.


But what is the flag for "there's a fusking deer on the track!"

Is it the brown one?

Mike


JoelP - 11/8/06 at 04:48 PM

http://video.google.co.uk/

Does that mean you may have some o me as well Peter.

I had hoped to get a bullet cam for some video but just ran out of time.

It's been uploaded!

Looks good Joel, sounds not too bad either.

Who's line were you taking on that last corner then?

Mike


Coose - 12/8/06 at 08:58 AM

I think you could do with some sticky tyres Joel!

Good footage though!


oioi - 12/8/06 at 12:50 PM

good vid, looks like your going well
