06-09-08, 10:42 PM
Just got in, what a quality day!

Despite funking my CV joint I'm still smiling really enjoyed it. First time out on a track and was really quite pleased with the way my car was going until it decided to spit its dummy out lol.

Didnt really get a chance to watch many others as you were on the same session as me etc, but when I was out with Ad I was mega impressed, he cant half get that small block motoring :roll: !

Nice pics Benn, will get the high res ones off you when next on MSN if thats ok.

Nice to properly meet a lot of people instead of just saying a quick 'Hi' like at PV etc, smaller group so easier to cht to people etc.

Massive thanks to everyone today for all their pointers and help. Really appreciated guys :D. Especially to The Stig/Ernie/(Christian?) whatever you like to be called for your help in getting that bastid out the box! Shame it was the wrong one! And Ad for taking us to get it.

I am totally hooked and cant wait to do a proper trackday! Much better than 1/4 mile-ing than Im into!

Paul :)

Stuart
07-09-08, 09:37 AM
Any pics of the plastic fantastic Benn?

aside from the fooooking scary first sesh (and sheer length of time rammed in the car), it was awesome fun.

Ad can really pedal that car fast! only needs a plate diff to make it a touch faster lol.... oh yeah and ace review for Kumho tyres ;)

Oly broke my nerves lol. Last(ish) sesh, lots of traffic, it was damp, he was keen.... the car felt RWD at times lol.

Paul, while your car was working, funk me it was fast and looked well planted in the bends!!!! good car there (with a good CV of course)

Benn
07-09-08, 09:49 AM
Glad you all like the pics,
Paul was good to see you out on track.

Sorry stu thought i put them up here too..

thought the white scoob was about to lose it there,pushing his luck abit i think,bit of a bad move imo,even though he corrected it!nice vid chris:)

Ernie
07-09-08, 04:02 PM
He shouldnt be overtaking there in the first place.
He should of took notice in the breifing ggggrrrr.

Adam
07-09-08, 04:49 PM
but when I was out with Ad I was mega impressed, he cant half get that small block motoring :roll: !

Good to hear you got home ok mate.

And im glad you enjoyed your passenger ride :thumb: :D




Ad can really pedal that car fast! only needs a plate diff to make it a touch faster lol.... oh yeah and ace review for Kumho tyres ;)

:D
It did go quite well, passed quite a few more powerful cars(golf gti's etc), and i only got passed by a few people too iirc.
The tyres were superb, so much more grip than on the old Nankangs, amazing how much difference a budget tyre made.
Kind of makes me want to keep the small block, and get it handling better, and making more power by lifting the rev limit higher. But oh well, it'll be gone soon for a xe,Lol



I was also running on a £40 wheel and tyre package that seam to work once they had warmed up lol.
Apart from the fronts turning a bit blue lol

Ernie

07-09-08, 05:28 PM
oh my ****ing god. i trust you battered ten barrels of **** out of that scooby owner.

Ernie
07-09-08, 05:35 PM
I was very temped but dew to being a skinny ****er thought best not.All i wish now is that a hadnt lift off the gas as would of wiped him out big time and all on video as his fault.
I also had my mates mum in the car on that session.

burgo
07-09-08, 05:39 PM
did you complain to the organisors or praps get his reg to send the vid to the organisors to get him banned

Ernie
07-09-08, 05:42 PM
One better than that.
I showed the officals the vid on my camera and then went and found the car and took a pic of the reg.I thought it was best to leave it to them.
L607 WYJ

Ernie
07-09-08, 05:43 PM

I think it was something to do with lots of power rwd cold tyres and a wet track.

Stuart
07-09-08, 05:52 PM
Just to clear it up :D
My jolly out with Olly was EXCELLENT fun, yes it made me a little white and quiet afterwards, but it was a good fun stint. He should really be in a race series with his skillz at hassling other cars mid bend lol.

and making me go quiet is a pretty good ability :D

trackdaynova
07-09-08, 06:01 PM
Cheers Stuart - glad you enjoyed it out there on the ice rink :)

Ernie - Love your vids, hate your rear view mirror, white Scooby driver was indeed a pleb

Gonna sort my vids over the next few days, and I'll do my usual report probably :)

Benn
07-09-08, 06:01 PM
Sorry i missed most of your laps ernie, only saw you one the once when i got that one pic..

Benn
07-09-08, 06:05 PM
And the scooby moment @4.30.
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_Dl2E18p7YE


Ah, while i was out taking pics i was stood talking to one of the track marshals/drivers/breifing guys and he got a msg over his radio about that white scooby, sure it was him, he was doing that at every corner.. and had been warned before... So as soon as he was off they where banning him.

Ernie
07-09-08, 06:09 PM
Good good.
Olly.
That is the first thing to be done to my car.
I only fit it back in on friday as removed it when fitting the new cage.
Sorry boss.
Also a shame about the swarm of wasps shut inside my car right next to the camera mic lol.

Lee
07-09-08, 06:22 PM
I had a great day out, but unfortunately I was feeling like death mainly from next to no sleep due to sleeping in the car with no form of mattress, but mainly 'drunk Dar' making a nuisance of himself when we had all gone to bed lol so i really didnt feel up to any passenger rides despite the kind offers from some people.

Olly was properly motoring! i have to say that in the wet at the beginning of the day from a spectators point of view the car looked horribly unsettled to me, but after a chat with him afterwards, he rekoned it felt good, and at the end of the day, thats th important thing. It was probably down to his commitment level more than anything, no many people will commit themselves that much in those condidtions. Balls of steel :) When it dried out a bit in the middle of the afternoon it looked a lot more planted and was going seriously well, even on his wet tyres! I cant wait to get out on track with you properly next year olz you big cuddly bear of love lol

Chris impressed me most on the day, drastic improvement was shown from the car due to some well overdue suspension mods, but you cant give all the credit to the setup, the pilot has also shown great improvement.

Daves Turbo now looks scaryly quick. Im pretty convinced his pace has now surpassed mine and im going to have to get my wallet out again to up my cars game! Ive always maintained that NA's make better track cars than Tubbys, but if any car is out there at the moment thats going to prove me utterly wrong, its his! Im starting to feel incredibly rusty now, as the only action ive seen this year is getting the Ovlov broadside on the way to trax on a petrol soaked roundabout lol

I heard someone mention that Ad may be the new Dan lol. Not for long though, as he's getting a proper engine :)

Gutted for Paul as well, theres nothing worse than being stranded like that, but you got home on the same day mate, so you did better than I did at PV lol

Took some static pics of the attendance from the day..

lol The bread did the trick!

It was Lee's fault I got that drunk anyway. I got enough Black Rat for both of us(2.5l carton) but he wanted Magners instead! So I had to finish it off:tard:

Despite the hangover, I really enjoyed the day chatting to people. I just had to keep moving.

Lee
07-09-08, 06:49 PM

Adam

smcgsi16v
07-09-08, 08:37 PM
I had a fantastic day with 4 really good sessions, doing cars that are bigger engined and much faster in a straight line than mine. So glad I came down on the 888's, and even they were better than my ditch finders in the damp conditions at the beginning of the day.

Hope you enjoyed your passenger ride Olli, certainly not fast as you go but still.

Benn could you send me a high res version of the photo you got of my Corsa to smc.nova@virgin.net it would be a much appriciated addition to my photo album.:thumb:

Stu - I thoroughly enjoyed my ride with mate, you know the circuit well and we have very similar lines - all bar one corner.

Love the fact that yours feels so planted, alot of grip, no understeer either - top piloting i might add :) :thumb:

Ernie
07-09-08, 08:58 PM
I went out on track with stu and it just felt so planted on track and i was waiting for it to let go some were but it just kept going round.
Well done stu and thanks for the trip out on track.

All particulary entertaining to watch due to the weather...

First session out, 10:00, Adam as passenger... having a bit of a play with Stu Pursey (Dars Dad) in his MK3 Escort in front of mine, also in shot is Ernie, Paul (Yellow Turbo), Stu (VX220), bonnet was flapping around like buggery
http://uk.youtube.com/watch?v=_LRX2EKAySk (http://uk.youtube.com/watch?v=_LRX2EKAySk)


Second session out, 13:15, was supposed to be with the Vauxhall group at 13:00 but didn't get there in time, so they let me out with the Fords much quicker session as there was alot more grip - but still on RainSports, chequered flag came out just as I was coming up to the blue Escort ahead of me, dagnabbit
http://uk.youtube.com/watch?v=vLBvx9lM264 (http://uk.youtube.com/watch?v=vLBvx9lM264)


Third session out, 15:15, first lap I stayed behind Adam to get some footage, then I went about my ways, quite an open circuit due to being at the front of the pack, lapped a few people, entry speed to Bobbies was always too fast, should have took the 888s with me, as it'd have been no problem then
http://uk.youtube.com/watch?v=hHzPlY9xW5E (http://uk.youtube.com/watch?v=hHzPlY9xW5E)


Fourth session out, 16:30pm, passenger: Stuart Llindborg (VX220), no footage as we agreed his screams would break my camera.

hes serious. Drive like a cock on track and get banned from the curcuits etc. ****s arent welcome on track.

If you wish to undertake/pass on bends etc then join a race series (and invariably get your ass handed to you on a plate). Track days arent a race! they are there for EVERYONES enjoyment so you play by the rules.

Would of pooped over to say hello instead you saw me walking next to the broken white Saab :cry:

Got a new hub sourced and got it fixed. Mad buggers then drove to Trax yesterday before going back to Scotland :eek:

Good to meet you CG and you Benn :thumb:

All the Nova's I saw going round looked like they were at least holding their own. :cool:

Now thats what i call 'having it' lol! Them 3 was really going for it, top :thumb:

Top in a top of the **** tree type top??

It's a track day not a race day. The number of people I saw trying to overtake past the non-overtaking points was stupid.

I gather the Sin bin was fairly busy all day

I didnt say i would drive like that, just stating that they was really going for it. I wouldnt want to spin out on a bend and loose all that money in a split second thank's ;). Would be intresting coming on a track day with you lot, as i havent been to one yet :thumb:.

love the one where olly comes by you. hes proper flying lol

Paul
08-09-08, 10:50 PM
I done 8 mins of the second session lol

Nice driving Ad, as I said mate when you took me out, you proper know how to get that thing moving and seem to have loads of confidence in it!

Great driving Ad, considering this is your first year on track youve taken to it like a duck to water mate! :)

Adam

Tis quite loud mate tbh. Exhaust noise though, not induction.

Burgo, yes mate, standard gay rev limit. It makes its peak power on the rev limiter, so it could really do with more revs! lol

Cheers for everyones comments :)
Paul-I cut your comment from the end "Fcuking hell Ad, youve now got two footprints buried in the carpet/floor" lol

Hopefully i'll get even quicker when the xe goes in :)
Stu's comments about just fitting a diff to my current engine/box combo though wants me want to stay small block lol
But oh well, have everything do the swap now, so might as well.

09-09-08, 01:03 PM
Nah the hand gesture is a 'for gods sake' because they were waving the chequered flag to say it was the end of the session, and we'd only just warmed up... we only saw around 7ms of tracktime because of stoppages

Going with option C :p

Stuart
09-09-08, 06:17 PM
the car holding you up was a ****ing Ascona, driven by a complete tool. He was kinda fastish, but slow as funk in the bends and didnt let people past unless you made a bit of a naughty dive for it...

Dar
09-09-08, 06:19 PM
Another well driven car (Just had chance to watch the vids). Well done Adam :thumb:

09-09-08, 06:19 PM
Great day, it was good to watch. Dave Marshalls turbo being the highlight. Popping the occasional flame from the exhaust.

Cheers Craig, car was going really well just a few very minor handling issues to sort for next year. Missus timed a few laps in my last session and managed a 1min20 so very pleased with that, especially with over 30 stone of hairy men sat in the car lol


Great pics Benn as said on mig and have to say Chris's GSI is going awesome now for a standard 2.0, cheers for the ride geezer.

piccy quality is bonkers!!!! Whats the model number etc of that camera? I need to get one of those :D

Adam
09-09-08, 07:27 PM
Stu-Its a jvc mini dv cam(dont know the model number off my head). As i mentioned the other day, it cost me £33 on ebay a few month back, and is perfect for trackdays etc, as if it gets damaged, ive only lost like 30quid lol

Those vids are downsized in Movie Maker, so the quality is a lot less than the original ;)

Cheers Dar/Dave, yup your nova did certainly seem to be flying around :cool:

Adam
09-09-08, 10:24 PM
Which corners Folly?

Jay
09-09-08, 10:26 PM
Which corners Folly?

I'm guessing the Followthrough...

Jay
09-09-08, 10:29 PM
.... I FAILED! Folly is the first corner after the Start/Finish line...

Adam
09-09-08, 10:32 PM
Ahh, i know it now. The curve after the main straight, quick corner.

Lee-Does pretty much everyone not go flat out through there? Cant remember hearing many people lift going into/around it

DaveMarshall
09-09-08, 10:35 PM
I never lift through Folly hold it flat all the way from Camp to Avon rise.

Adam
09-09-08, 10:40 PM
:cool:

Lee
09-09-08, 10:58 PM
in the dry its fine to hold it flat, but on a damp track it can be very unpredictable. Theres a slight bump there which can unsettle the car badly. Ive been caught out there a few times, and Dar has gone ploughing the infield big style in the wet though there as well lol

It might be fine to you for plenty of laps and then for some reason decide it doesnt like you anymore lol

I was up there in a matt black 106 rallye.

Would just like to add that i know the white Subaru driver, have known him since i was about 8 and he has never driven like that before. In fact its probably our fault he now does as when we used to do track days in our minis everyone took the piss for not pushin hard enough. Then he goes out and gets the scooby and may be tryin to prove a point.lol. Dont hold it against me that i know him. Cheers

adamant
10-09-08, 02:40 PM
Does anyone have any footage of the 10am session, before the long wait on track, a i was in front of a load of some of your novas for a while and my camera did not work at all. Also if anyone has footage of the 1145 session as was on that too before my clutch went. I was in a matt black 106 rallye. cheers
