Trackdays coming up...

[Bruce Fielding]

I've so far booked:

9/6 Snetterton with Easytrack
24/6 Brands Hatch (GP) with Easytrack
5/7 Donnington with Bookatrack
22/7 Goodwood with Bookatrack

Anyone care to join me?

Bruce-I pre-booked but forgot to confirm the booking, I am down as a reserve. I presume they email you if a space becomes available ??
Goodwood seems to be my favorite venue out of the other three.
Did you receive the cam mount back ? thanks again for the loan.

You HAVE to do Goodwood. It's the bogey you have to break! Otherwise I shalln't allow you to wear the cap anymore

And yes, thanks, I got the mount back in excellent condition. It's going back on the car next week...

hi guys just to let you know im booked up for brands on 24/6 as well so i guess i might actually get to meet some of you guys. quick question bruce how loud is your atom becouse last week at goodwood mine registered 100db so im a bit worrid about booking goodwood on the 22/7 being a 98db day.i was told by simon that my car was quiter than the standard atom becouse of the supercharger.?

[monza]

Simon is right for the AirBox noise, supercharged is normaly better in this case, but for exhaust, it's not the same problem !
Where is made the control ?

[Bruce Fielding]

My 165 Mk1 normally registers around 97dB at 4,500rpm, which astounds me because it seems louder than that! Having said that, it does have twin exhausts which might quieten things down...

Mine measured 98db at Bedford,which surprised me really ,I think the rattling airbox and panels make it seem worse.
Bruce- Snetterton ,Brands and Goodwood are out for me,damn it ! would have loved to see that supercharged engine, and also to miss out on all that personal tuition from you.
Donnington seems almost a certainty

Snetterton today was perfect! Weather not too hot, a gentle breeze, open pit lane and not too many people - although quite a few on track for whom the mysteries of the rear view mirror had yet to be explained!

Only Radicals were overtaking me today.

One caution... I changed the wets for drys after a couple of outings (big difference, but more smiley sideways action on the wets!). After a couple of sessions I started to get slightly weavy as though being blown about by strong winds. Went in and found that most of the wheel nuts had come loose! Did them up again and a few sessions later had the same problem. Finally ended up doing them up as tight as I possibly could and that sorted the problem, but worth checking if you regularly change wheels... I think a gorilla might be required!
