***TRACKDAY - Snetterton, Mon 19th Sept ***

Casey · August 24, 2011, 11:57:58 PM

For those of you who don\'t frequent the RX8OC forum, it seems "California Style" has managed to book Martin Byford to give a group of 5 RX-8 drivers some private tuition for the entire day at Snetterton. Martin is a driver in the current BTCC series, piloting the AmD Milltek team VW Golf

:cool:D

By coincidence, Martin also lives in my home town of Colchester.... maybe I can offer him a lift up and get some extra instruction on the way

List updated; still time to get your name down, but don\'t leave it too late to book a place as it may sell out soon.

Quote from: antnicuk;782218ooohh tempting, lets see if i survive rotorstock

Oooooh, did you suspect something might happen?

How\'s the car Tony? I saw you drive off the line at the RS8 sprint circuit and then retire after ~50 yds? Saw your car parked up rather forelornly by the tents later but didn\'t see you to find out what happened.....

BTW, I know SIX people have told me they have paid up for Snett so far (post at top of this thread updated). Anyone else paid up yet?

Now paid up , means we won\'t be at the Jap Show though as I will travel up on the Sunday to Snett

:wiggle Well done Clive................well, Lisa for booking your place

OK, that looks like 8 of us paid up, with three staying at the Angel on Sunday night. Any more takers?

clive · September 01, 2011, 11:08:07 AM

Just got to book up the Angel,

This new track layout must be tough if you have to book an Angel the night before:D

Casey · September 04, 2011, 06:50:25 PM

BUMP!

I also need to let people know I will be "offline" from this Thursday night (8th) to Sat (17th) as Gwyn and I will be chilling out in Italy for a short break. If I don\'t answer your questions on here, you\'ll know why

HypoThermia · September 08, 2011, 10:11:13 PM

BUMP again.

I\'m booking an evening meal on Sunday at the Angel Inn (I\'ll also be staying there for Sunday/Monday): http://www.angel-larling.co.uk/home

Anyone attending the track day (or even if you\'re just in the area and want to socialize) is welcome to come along.

Please drop me a PM asap with numbers and I\'ll book a table early next week.

Cheers,

Ian.

Hi Guys,
Unfortunately work requirements now mean I have to pull out of this event.

I will contact the Angel hotel etc.

Apologies as I was looking forward to this but I\'ve been asked to fly to Frankfurt over the weekend.

(Do we have any later track days planned ?)

Hi Chris if you fancy there\'s cadwell on the 27th
I haven\'t booked it yet as I have come to the conclusion that I have to get my car home in one piece one track at a time
:spank

I have recently (after Cadwell) shortened the rear axle and shortened my original half shafts myself, they held up with 888 tyres on the road for a few tests but rotorstock was the first test on full 9 inch wide slicks and to be honest, i wanted to test them to destruction so i knew they would take what ever i threw at them so if they had survived the sprint circuit i was going to drag race it a few times. :Giggle

As it happens, the passenger shaft snapped clean at the weld on the first run. I now have a set of Quaife Grp 4 shafts which should have no problem in dealing with what i can throw at them. Unfortunately I have too much going on at home this month to manage the track day.

Thanks Jim, but I\'m in Switzerland that week.

Never mind.

Dropped you a line Chris
hopefully get chance to chat soon about monday

Casey · September 17, 2011, 04:33:39 PM

Well, back from Italy and about 4 pounds heavier due to the delicious food out there, so that\'s my excuse in advance for being slower than everyone else on Monday

I\'m really, really looking forward to this!

VERY IMPORTANT THINGS:

1. A briefing pack is attached - hastily prepared as I\'ve been away, but PLEASE skim through as there are some important bits in there, alongside a lot of the standard stuff you (should

) already know by now

2. REMEMBER to bring;
- Driving License
- the TWO disclaimer forms (links are in your Easytrack email AND in the attached briefing pack). Failure to do so might delay your tracktime start.....
3. FIVE garages have been reserved for the 8 of us to share. They will have the name "CASE" on the garage doors, so first to arrive on circuit please locate them.

See you all on Monday
