Have you seen the steering lock of a 6R4??? It might be worth a try though ~ not too sure about noise

Hell, just bring it down.. ive never seen a 6R4!

tho i did see one of those mk 1 R5 things with the engine in the back.. that was lovely...

[big k]

hmmmm anybody want to challenge a just slightly modded skoda rapid?

[fab16v]

Think I may be up for this next time! Think I may leave the KW's for the time being if it's gonna be on grass though!

Its a very enjoyable day, without the risk of damaging your car, i learned more about the behavior of my car under braking and turning in, in that day than in the 2 months ive owned my car!

ps.. i wouldnt bother cleaning the car before the day

It needs cleaning almost everyday anyway! The joys of having custard all over your car. :p

might have to fetch my pug again, armed with M&S tyres

[robmawer]

M&S tyres

Is there nothing Marks And Spencer don't sell?!

Rob.

[sihorton]

lol

for those who don't know what m&s really stands for, its short for mud & snow (or big knobbley tyres)

[TaviaRS]

So my Maybach on slicks might be a bit much of a handicap, even for me?

[redbaron]

i was thinking you mightbe good competition for me in the 500bhp nos'd camaro on crossplys?

[TaviaRS]

Swap you one of my slicks for one of your cross plys?

[redbaron]

ok but only if i can drop it to 6psi first...

I can confirm that there will be at least one slalom being run next year for Briskoda members to run 'hooligan' again :scatter: We're looking at running two, possibly with the help of two different motor clubs, but I can say we'll be running one at least.

Due to the very expensive nature of Three Sisters the chances are neither will be at that venue but we'll find something as good if not better ~ hopefully with space for three tests at a time

I'm happy running a diesel class but not too sure about a Nitros class

[Erik@aat]

Could everyone who was at the event last weekend (competing, taking photographs or just watching) please either e-mail or PM me their feelings about the event, good and bad, along with any suggestions on what or how (or both!!) we can improve to make the next event smoother, more fun, in fact generally better.

[redbaron]

how many cars would you require to make 3 sisters viable? 30? am sure we could find enough cars given slightly longer to prepare.. :wave:

How about 15 and we all pay double the amount and get more track time?

Rob.

[sihorton]

i'm sure with the success of the last event, we could get more entries.

I know me and richard would take part along with 2 more friends, so 4 cars in total

si

[Erik@aat]

What entry fee would people be willing to pay?

The event cost about

[devonutopia]

Personally, once my car is fiddled with, I'd be a lot more willing to give it a hammering on a track... cost? For a good day out, I'd be willing to pay up to

[robmawer]

You get 30 cars paying that amount, and thats

[Erik@aat]

30 cars would be a lot for doing 2 tests though - you'd be looking at waiting 14-20 minutes between goes! Wouldn't really want more than 10 cars per test - even on Three Sisters this would work out at paying

[Neo_VR]

That's why we're looking at a bigger venue with an earlier start time' date=' probably earlier in the year for extra daylight hours

We'll get something sorted that will hopefully benefit from everything we learnt at Three Sisters but that will offer better value and even more fun

:drive1:[/quote']

even more fun?.... right ill definately be there :p

[devonutopia]

I sense a bit of a TDI battle...? "Clash of the Torque" - ASR off.

I'm determined to make one trackday of some sort soon after having SOOO much fun around the RPM tour, even if I was only in the passenger seat the whole time.

[Erik@aat]

If none of the cars were going to be trailered there we could run with passengers..... I think I'd rather just keep one person in a car though

No real need for a co-driver or ballast on a track...
