Title: Gauging interest for another South v North Dyno Day.
Post by: pete sparrow on October 04, 2008, 01:08:16 PM
Hello All.
There\'s been a bit of talk amongst some of the members of late about staging another North V South Dyno Day.
For those who haven\'t heard about these bhp battles,here\'s a little background guff.
We\'ve successfully done two of these so far,with Gurj having organised the first and myself the second.
The Northern Team won the first and the South completely tranced the north in round two:evillaugh
The second event was featured in Japenese Performance which was a great bit of publicity for the rotary cause..
Its sort of turned into a bit of a yearly event and has been held at Thor Racing nr Birmingham.This venue seems well postioned for both north and south as its sort of in the middle of the country. If anyone else has a location in mind just say.
Its not all about 500 horse FD\'S flexing their muscle,all other Mazda rotaries are more than welcome.
The dyno day usually happens on a saturday and takes till late afternoon to run all the cars. It takes about half n hour to bolt the car onto the hubs and do the run,so numbers are limited for each team. Will check with Pete at Thor and see how many cars we can run and the cost per car, thats if we get enough interest of course.
This will be based on a first come,first served basis with a reserves list per team,in the event of  anyone dropping out.
I\'m more than happy to organise this event and handle all monies etc etc.
So if your interested please put your name below and the team you\'d like to champion.
Cheers
Pete

How are the "scores" worked out, just out of interest? Is it an average of total horsepower divided by the number of cars on each team, or just the highest total, or biggest individual power, or wot? Cos if it\'s any sort of average, no-ones gonna want my old crap-heap letting their side down:Giggle!

 I\'d be interested even just to come along for the craic though. Be great to get a magazine to cover it, esecially after the recent utter lack of coverage they\'re giving the rotary scene. Show \'em what we\'re all about!:yes

Post by: pete sparrow on October 04, 2008, 01:33:51 PM
Total bhp divided by the amount of cars per team,thats why we should have equal numbers.
Should have said spectators are more than welcome,the more the merrier.
Not sure if we could get another magazine interested as the last event was in JP earlier this year.

Date depends on you guys mainly and when Thor can fit us in. Usually takes a couple of months to finalise all the details.

just some people may not want to travel, plus it gets dark early and with quite a few people there, which im sure there will be, i dont think they will want to stand outside thor looking at cars and chatting etc like i have seen in the previous events.

like i said, it doesn\'t bother me at all.

Blimey that didn\'t take long to fill all the spaces Tried to get Thor to up the amount of cars we could run in a day,but they\'re not having it,so we are stuck at 16.

The only fair of doing it is to have equal numbers from MRC and FD/UK,so thats 8 each.

Or if the numbers still grow to have two events. An MRC North vs South seperately to the FD/UK competition.

If the MRC can field 12/14 cars that\'ll be enough to secure the max discount from Thor.

What do you think guys??

All weekends in April 2009 are free atm,does anyone have any early preferences?
£45 plus VAT = £52.88 per car. Securing deposit will be needed at some point.

Looks like it will be a good turn out again, both the 2 events we\'ve had at Thor before have been well run and well attended so hopefully should be another good day out.

I will probably come to watch on the day, should have my new rotary by then me thinks :Giggle

To save disappointment and to cut out the reserves list completely,does anyone mind if we change the venue to WGT? Plus Pip is prepared to do it for £40 per car.
I know some of the southerners will have to travel a little further,but i think its the best option for all of us.
Cheers to Matt for doing the detective work.

We have 19 cars listed between the two forums,that means we\'ve got space for another 3 cars! Anyone else interested???

Need some more feed back from you guys please?
Do we keep the event central at Thor or go to WGT?
Cheers

WGT is closer to me, but Thor was a good location for all. Plus the viewing area was very good.

Doesn\'t make a lot of difference to me either way so whatever the majority want. The first one in Shaun\'s list looks like it may be worth a look as well and being Birmingham is nice and central just off the M6 so easy to get to and being on a industrial estate noise won\'t be such a issue as the owners of the estate Thor are on where getting a bit uptight about db levels last time.

WGT is also closer to me but im not fussed either way, looks like it would be a long way for the people in the south if it were to be at WGT.

the rolling road register is an interesting site shaun, good find.

do you get an AFR read out at thor, i carnt remember

WGT is closer for me, but I\'m happy to travel to a more central location to make it fair for both North & South entrants.

You\'ll need to cut n paste your name at the bottom of the reserves list on the revised list higher up his page please. We don\'t have standard power cats\' only north v south. Probably best to read through the descripton on the first page of this sticky.
Title: Everyone still interested in this???

is this only open to fd\'s?
d\'oh. wont have fc on road by then :(

just thinking, wouldnt it be better to calculate the BHP by the amount over stock bhp.
ie stock \'92 fd = 255bhp (read that from autocar mag from back in 1991), dyno = 300 then bhp increase is 45bhp so get 45 points.
jap stock fd = 280bhp, dyno = 350bhp so get 70 points etc etc
do this for each car then divide by no of cars.
think this would be more fair than just the total bhp for south / north.

just a thought :)
(c\'mon south!!) :Giggle

It isn\'t just for FD\'s. There is at least one cosmo running this year and last year Alan with a 12a turbo FB was part of the north !

There is another thread with a list of runners with backups !

This was the original list of entrants. I know a few of you have posted,but i need to here from the rest of you guys please.

1. Pete Sparrow. RX7 FD3. South. --- Confirmed
2. Chris Riordan (CJR) RX7 FD3S North --- Confirmed
3. Ashley Clements. RX7 FD3s - South --- Not confirmed
4. Lee Mills RX7 FD3-SOUTH --- Not confirmed
5. Karl Tate RX7 FD3 - North --- Not confirmed
6. Adam Blackshaw (Ada7) - Rx7 FD3s South --- Not confirmed
7. Kevin Gordon JC Cosmo - North --- Not confirmed
8. Mathew Webb (mjwebb48) rx7-FD3s South --- Confirmed/date.


Reserves list below..

9.Shaun Wilmer FD3S - North --- Confirmed???
10.Bobert. RX7 FD3S - North. ---Not confirmed

Just spoke to THOR and ALL weekends are availble in April:Thumbs-up So which wknd please?????

I know its difficult for some of you to give me a definate yes or no due to weither your cars are ready or not,but this does effect the price per car on the dyno day.
Eight cars minimum would mean you\'ll be paying £60 each.

Fill the day with 16 cars and that drags the price down to £45 per car.

Anyone else interested who\'s not on the list add your name as a reserve or pm me please.
All rotors welcome,this day is not just for big bhp FD\'s..
Cheers

By the looks of things most of the entrants cars won\'t be ready by April and all the suggested dates seem to conflict somewhere along the line.
So we\'ve all got to come up with another plan. Do we rearrange for May or maybe June??

I don\'t mind either way,but it sems a little fairer for the majority who can\'t do April.

Let us know your thoughts please.

This is a sad state of affairs,only 4 confirmed out of the 11 listed:( Quite a few of us seem to be struggling with the time scale,so i think its only fair to re-arrange the date for later in the year to give more peeps more of a chance to run,well hopefully anyway.
I\'d just like to say sorry to the guys who\'ve actually got running cars atm (lucky sods) and were looking forward to the day,but i\'m sure it\'ll happen in a few of months time.
Really no point going ahead with the april date as betweem the MRC and FDUK we\'ve only just got enough cars too hire Thor at the half day/8 car rates. Might as well wait and get 16 cars up n running and make a really good day of it.:yes
Will check in with everyone listed in a month and see how we are all doing.
Cheers

To give this a push for Pete, as we have done in the past MRC will reimburse every MRC Full Club member who attends this event £20,

And I am sure that even if you have a stock car but want a day out also finding out what your car produces you will be made welcome,

Surprised this has not had more takers as it can be a real fun day out
