EXCLUSIVE FD Track Day 15/11 ROCKINGHAM

[elford_tim]

MX5s do carry a surprising amount of speed, mainly because you do have to conserve momentum to make up for the lack of power. It\'s amazing what sort of bigger machinery you can keep up with on a twisty circuit.

I should get proper trackday tyres for mine on the weekend. They should make a massive difference, especially given that the rear ones on the car let go at the slightest hint of rain.

im interested in this, although i am currently trying to sort a towing eye out for mine (the stock one is hidden behind the bodykit) is it esential to have one?

Towing eye not normally essential but if they have to drag you out of the gravel be warned they may rip something off!

[lockwood77]

I don\'t have a towing eye and have done a few trackdays (Donington & Silverstone), although I do have a FEED pair on order from the group buy in the States! (Not that I think the front one will fit with my C-West nose, but hey...)

There aren\'t any towing eyes on the OEM car - what you can see are tie-down points, but they don\'t have the strength of a towing eye and are liable to bend or worse if the weight of the whole car is going through them (according to the guys on rx7club.com anyway).

thats what puts me off ive not do a track day (in my car) becasue if i do put it in the gravel there is nothing to use to get me out, like i say should be sorted by Nov :Thumbsup!

Sounds like a cool day out this, can people come along and spectate?

Regards

[RobMatthews]

as regards to the towing eye,on a couple track days i done,they said they will get the car out and off the track asap,this means that if there is no towing eye they will use whatever they think is the next quickest thing to attach to be it around your strut brace(which would end up bent)a wheel(which would end up bent) or through the doors(which will end up bent)cilla the choice is yours...but they wont hang around for you to decide.
