PESSIMIST!  :P

 

My only prep will be a likely air filter wash & reoil at Pete's on Monday.

I've just swoped wheels around so running less tread on front for F 1 style corner speeds!

Rear view mirrors will be cleaned on the Tuesday morning .

Looking fwd to meeting everyone.

Will be good to see my old wheels! Did you fit new v70s ? They will be Awsome if you have. Weather looking dry and temps of 18 degrees forecast !!

Would love to hire the wheels for a session but I'm too lazy to be swooping wheels over.

I've had to buy one new pair.  One pair are still ones from when you sold me the wheels

Jason, are you bringing a jack?

I might try to bring one. This is my last trackday of the year and I'm gonna refit the spiders.

I was hoping James was going to bring some gear - he hinted at this earlier in the thread, as I am planning on "travelling light" in respect of wheel changing gear....  

I can bring a trolley jack and axle stands no problem.

Instructor list updated.

So now bossfox is out does that mean we have 9 drivers for tuition?

Track time is 9 till 5. Guessing hour for lunch? So 7 hours track time.

If we do 20 min tuition that's 3 an hour. So I recon we'll get about 2 slots each. Or should we say less per slot?

My car won't do more than 15 minutes before needing to cool down a bit   Especially if the day is relatively warm anyway.

No good if you entered a 24 hr race then lol!

It would need some serious cooling fettling to be able to do much longer stints - or I would simply have to drive slower....  It's usually the coolant which starts to get too hot first, so perhaps a bigger radiator would be needed.  I've not found the point my new brakes start to fade yet though - they've not done an open pit day yet, and I am using RTF600 fluid which I hope means they will be long lasting under duress.

I'm always amazed how cars can run flat out for a 24 hr race. I mean normal tuned road cars not Audi R15's . Watched two of those new peugout 308 gti's finish this years nurburgring 24 hrs which was clever seeing as the French made them.

I will throw a jack and some stands in, torque wrench, sockets set and a few odds and sods too.

 

 With regard to tuition, my lad has now backed out because of education commitments, so one less to worry about.

 

 I will ring Javelin today as I haven't heard or had confirmation on tuition yet either  :wonder:    

 

 So to some up. weather is looking good, we are fettling our cars, we know where the venue is, all we have to do now is get there!

 

 I think you will need to produce your driving licence too, so don't forget it.

I was hoping for a bit of rain! lol...

my prep will be... er... nothing! I might check the oil......

As i booked over the phone i have no login for the online bit so u have no documents at all...? :-/

nope

I've got emails confirming my booking and payment but nothing else

I was expecting a least a few forms to fill in beforehand - like the ones MSV send out before How Fast - but apparently there is nothing or if there is it's all sorted out on the day

My last Javelin day I did get forms through to fill in for both driver and passenger, as well as a timetable and specific info for the day.


I can post the forms on here if anyone wants some? Or may be better to wait?

 

Forms have just landed in my email

Here are the said forms.
