Lydden Hill Track Day - 21st March - UPDATED
Hi all, not done this before so bear with me!
A few member from here (5 so far) are planning on attending Lydden on the 21st of march.
http://www.lyddenhill.co.uk/info.php
Lydden looks like a great sized track for our cars & they are fairly noise freindly. People from here say its a good track too!
So trying to drum up some interest, list your name below if interested.
We wont be booking untill early/mid march so we can check on weather forcasts.
LYDDEN HAVE OFFERED THE DAY TO US FOR £140ea, IF WE CAN GET 10 CARS.
So, anyone else interested?
Regards,
Mark B

I am certainly interested but do you know what the noise limit is? At what revs is it tested?
(Sorry if they are numpty questions but i haven't been on a track day before)

I wouldn't worry too much about noise at Lydden - I think their published figure is 105dB, but unless things have radically changed from
previous seasons, no noise tests are actually carried out.
It's a very relaxed atmosphere there, sensible passing is also freely allowed anywhere on the circuit, which sounds dodgy but in reality works
well. I'm hoping to make it along if I can organise a trailer for the day.....

Would love to but doubtful that I'll have the car back together by then seeing as it is currently reduced to its constituent parts. I'll
keep it in mind.

Yup, deffo on for this. Will need to monitor weather as I am a bit of a girl in the wet!!
We could also use the venue as an opportunity for people who want a few billy runs. Nothing better than a run out on track to realise that BEC is the
way to go
As I will prove when I whoop Dan's ar$e!
Flame proof pants on!
Cheers
Martin
ETA: Dan, perhaps we can convince Cheffy to trailer his chassis there. He can use it as some sort of glorified scooter - just to see how it will go...
in a year or two!

Jud you forget I have access to the station armoury, You'll only over take once
As for dry weather, I'm not scared of a bit of rain are you.
Jud, is THIS you taking a Vx220 at Brunters?
And Cheffys chassis is in a more disassembled state than when I sold it too him.

Yes - I admit it, I don't like rain. However if the gauntlet is thrown down I may decide that BEC honour needs to be upheld - irrespective of
weather. I will just have to drill some holes in my floor and seats!
Yes - the video is me passing a VX220 Turbo last year. There is another one on there somewhere of Paul Fisher passing both Reman and I like we are
standing still... not posting that here though 
So Cheffy is using the "got to go back to go forward" approach then!
Cheers

My only hope is a thunderstorm, when your 888's will be useless, as far as Bec honour, I think your quite safe. (I do see your trying to get
Mackie to come along as tail gunner)
Did you mention beers in another thread
Yes Martin has gone backwards, but has assured me things are going in the right direction now.
My slight worry is getting the tow car Mot'd in time, otherwise the Pug will just have to struggle.

I did Lydden last year, and had a great day.
Looks like they've put the prices up though, it only cost £130 last year!!
I might come if weather permits.

Yes i gather that from what a few people have said. Shame really.
Still if we get 10 people we can get it for £140 and more than 10 have contacted me saying they are interested

at Lydden!

Its getting closer, looks like we're over the worst of the winter weather(touch wood, fingers, legs etc crossed!).
Still hoping to use Lydden as the first track outing of 2009, got lots to do/fit before then though:
sump, clutch springs, flatshifter, full service, lights all round, bullet cam system etc etc...
Shameless bump, anyone else interested in joining us?

after further conversations with Lydden Hill, those who attend can all enter into the same group, which means we will be on, and off (for social!) the
track at the same time, rather than all being split up all day. Which is good news
