Anyone else going?
cant make it mate. working the weekend.
Bummer pal, looks like a great attendee list 
who do you think will be quickest?
if theres a decent driver in the crossle 9S. that would be my bet.
Likewise - gotta agree
He'll be sure to get in my footage, with him whizzing by me! lol
Just been on you tube and the track/circuit looks ace. looks fast ?
Incredibly fast circuit, won't be liking my 3.38 diff, as I'll be on the limiter in 6th a lot, but hey ho.
Here is my efforts in my old Nova
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=dMcR63IZKds
What's weather forecast.
Dry, warm, around 14degrees…
http://www.bbc.co.uk/weather/2643553
I'm tempted, 11 places left.
Dan are you up for it if you can get the time off.
There are 10 places left now, as that was before I was booked on…
Tried booking Oulton for Sat 15th, but they are fully booked WITH 15 reserves already 
Your on the pace and some in the nova.
Suited the car down to the ground, was a 2.0 16v XE with a Quaife SCCR Gearbox with a ZF Plate 90% diff.
Miss the car so much, I'm looking forward to comparing (lap times) but you're not allowed to do that, so I'll have to go from video
footage instead
Had much more confidence in FWD than I do RWD
Booked it!
Cadwell is my favourite circuit. My first outing there was many moons ago at Performance Bikes Frenzy. I took a home-tuned TZR125 and got thrown out
of the paddock for doing burnout smiley faces...
My plastic car had a great time on it's first outing there as it was the only time it managed to get back on the trailer after an event, under
it's own power.
The circuit has everything: fast sweepers, downhill straight followed by a long sweeping up hill. The floaty-light bits over the mountain and greasy
bits under the trees and an excellent cafe.
Have fun folks!
ETA: the reason why the staff at Cadwell and Performance Bike Magazine asked us to leave....

you obviously need to be a club member to compete,have a race license. and your car has to meet msa scrutineering. other than that.print the form from
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
cant make it andrew. ill do blyton next saturday instead if youd rather do that, javelin will let you switch if needed. and possibly mallory on
21st

This Saturday is better for me Dan as I have to collect a load of bedroom furniture next Friday for a Monday start so my van will be full and I don't feel like shuffling all that gear twice. Cheers.
C'mon Dan - be a sport and come this weekend
You know you want to Dan.

. Can do
track days though 
Here on our own, camping, 4.5hrs as traffic was a bit busy.
Andrew sorry I couldn't join you this evening… I'm setting off at 05:40am, so I'll see you around 0800am ish.
Car is loaded up and ready to go
No worries, just going to walk the track "not". To busy on interweb. M62 was a bit packed.
Do you need anything bringing up with me Andrew?
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.
anyone break any lap records
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

Uh ho, up Park straight towards Park Corner
Coming out of Barn Corner
Switching on my GoPro…

Hall bends
Daniel - not sure about records but on the video below I managed:
1m 53s (traffic)
1m 56s (traffic)
1m 47s
1m 48s
1m 50s
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
Nice write up.. that pic of park straight.. how "un straight" is that!
Was that Skooby clinic car quick?
660bhp full out race car, yup it was mental!!!
He got passed me eventually.
What an awesome pic lol
Oily, what silencer you got fitted, doesent look over large, 102 is pretty good.
It's 'the anchor' lol
Aprillia RSV Mille standard can, but I want it quieter ideally

The inlet bore size is huge, maybe 2.25" or something?
I'll take some pics, its rather heavy which is why I'd like to change...
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.

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
great vid. that saxo was quick! nice driving
Davey you were there too?
Yes the McLaren went on track, was incredibly slow and getting over taken by most, but then I can't imagine wanting to hoon a £200k car around
too much lol
Daniel, think the Saxo is supercharged, so more power and torque than me, was quick on the straights
Enjoyed the vid, it's a shame the reg flags came out at the end, just as you got going after the Saxo. I've seen him a few times at Cadwell,
and I think its fair to say he knows his way round the circuit.
Yes he's just found me in Facebook somehow and added me as a friend, so will find out more in due course.
I've only been the once before, seems to suit my driving style quite well

Well found!
Yeah I was there in my vortx... Just spectating this time. I did see your cars parked up, but none was around for me to say hi to.
Looks like a good day was had, that circuit looks narrow at certain points!

Hey guys,
Just popped on here as I was searching for videos/pictures from the day and Found you guys
The kitten and the 'busa both went very well on the day. I was in the Orange Focus ST, bog standard minus uprated brake fluid! Was a great day,
Been to cadwell a few times in a previous car. Just thought id pop on and say Hi and that the cars look great!
I'll be uploading my vids to youtube at somepoint, Im sure i''l have some of youre cars.
Jason
[Edited on 10/3/14 by Jay1990]
Hi Jay - there is lots of footage of you in Stewarts videos from his Saxo - have you seen those vids?
Never got a chance to have a chat on the day - but I'm sure our paths will cross in the future.
I knew I wasn't the only one to search 'Cadwell' into YouTube and Google days following a track day to see footage lol
Take care
Olly
Some fantastic pics from Dave Carter - it's amazing what you learn about your car from external photos whilst 'on it'
My rear arches now need tiding up as the Kawasaki green is coming out, and my exhaust can needs replacing as its burning the carbon lol
Also, my drivers front wheel I think has a bit too much negative camber
Squatting going up the mountain
Stewarts 244bhp Saxo chase heading up the mounting
Yeah Ive watched his first video, Camera lighting isnt great in it, certainly was a fast little car that.
Where did you get the "Dave Carter" photos from? I know Xtreme photography did pics of the day, just wondered if there was others
Thanks
Nick from xtreme is the 'official' tog… Dave is another photographer, as is Paul Thomson…
Add me to Faceache, and I'll tag you in the rest of the shots
Nice, I would add you If I knew what to search for 
Chris in the silver saxo with the black bonnet has just sent me a load of pictures and as Olly says you can learn a bit from them as I suspect I need
to put some harder front springs on the car as it does seem to roll quite a lot.
unijacko67 (years) you make an appearance here at 35secs, and 1m 6s

Dont Suppose Dave Carter took any of my relatively boring car ?
Hi Jay -
This is the Facebook page you can find David Carter
https://www.facebook.com/groups/1443791022507262/
I like the last picture you kindly posted of us going up the mountain Olly, Thanks.
Yes it's very flattering angle, as your rear end doesn't look so high, as its squatting!
Thanks very much
Bit of you and me Olly on this vid

Yep - thats me, and Michelle yep thats right - purple Tigra with my white Astra MK3 Turbo, sold for the white Nova
I recognised your username a few months back, but couldn't remember where from
Yeah we've met a couple of times, I think I bought a stealth shelf off you and we met again at a rolling road day at Northampton Motorsport. Once i've finished building my car maybe i'll see you at a track day. Pete
