MAllory on the 28th...

Hi guys!

Just popped over from the CGTI forum thats the main bulk of this trackdays participants.

Just wanted to say 'Hi' and ask what kind of cars you guys are gonna be blasting about in? What specs have ya got.. lets hear them!

Mines a 1990 3 door Golf.

2.0 16v engine producing about 170bhp

Sachs fast road clutch and Lightened and balanced flywheel

280mm Corrado G60 brake setup with ATE disks, Pagid pads and ATE super blue racing fluid.

15" Compomotive MO's with some very nice tyres...

Spax RSX Coilovers

Eibach anti roll bars

The E30 M3 below.

No mods to the engine, Pagid front discs and pads and ACS suspension.

The current forecast is snow and rain which could make life interesting , but it is only a forecast.

See you there.

Well that was an interesting day, good to see six E30 M3's keeping to the black stuff.

Unlike the assorted Golfs that seemed keen to explore a new form of panel beating. The antics of some drivers was a surprise, and not a pleasant one. I thought I had mistakenly joined a race the way some were passing me on the right into the hairpin!!!!  

Hope those in the R32 were ok, just a shame that brought events to an early close.

Roll on Rockingham

Tubthumped

Sorry I wasn't trying to tar everybody with the same brush. I clearly remember you as one who thanked me for moving aside. the "LET" bit of your plate helped me remember.

As always it was the few, who as you correctly say "have a point to prove" that make it a less enjoyable experience. It would have been nice to have seen the on-track exploits mointored and controlled proactively.

Anyway on the whole it was a good day.

John, It was quite a contrast. I was certainly more stressed yesterday, even more than I was when I first took my beloved M5 onto the track at Hethel almost a year ago.

I'm looking forward to Rockingham and would encourage anybody who hasn't taken their pride and joy onto the track to join in, even for half a day. I had heard all the stories about other track days which put me off for almost four years. The Car Club days are very well controlled but in a very subtle way that was missing at Mallory.

Hi,

I was in the blue Ibiza being the mobile chicane, juast like to say I was a bit concerned at when I heard that BMW's were being allowed, based on some of the toal d**kheads that mostly drive them.

In actual fact you lot were well behaved which was surprisingly good

nose to tail formation through shaws was fun but that became unfunny when some felt it nessacary to dive past under braking

good day was had tho
