SES Trackday, Brands Hatch - Tuesday 17th April

[Skullfudge]

I'm coming really.
I've been winding up Nige

Will be phoning Brands to book

Before anyone else winds me up E. I would just like to see how my car stacks up to Clive's. So it's just rag it round the track & see what happens. :EVO:

I really dont know what you mean.:faint:

Stacks is an unfortunate choice of word.

Compares would be better.

[C. J.]

would say nige will be quicker , on the fact that he has no fear

If I can stay Anywere near Clive on the straights then I have a chance. Other thing is there are a couple of much quicker cars turning up. Well quicker on Brands anyway :EVO:

[Skullfudge]

Nige what suspension set up have you got mate?, and what power are you "running" at?

If he has "no fear" I wont be on track with him at the same time as I want a P1 left at the end of the session. Been on track with those guys before and they are ALWAYS the ones that either have an off, or take out someone else.

I've done Brands once in a car & got my arse kicked off a little Lotus. Didnt like the gravel to much eighther. Nothing fancy suspension wise just Teins. Power to weight your well in front there mate as we both have the same bhp ish. Mine made 427 bhp atw. If you like we can leave the pits at different times & just have someone time the laps. I would actually prefer that as I do get a bit excitable. Its my £25k against your £??k I don't want to crash my car. I would like to do Germany in it. :EVO:

I could do the timing.


I could also bring a couple of flags along...


Nige you get excitable who are you kidding you little pussy cat.

[Skullfudge]

LOL

Timing will be good because it will also be more accurate.

Should be close but keep the stop watches out of site as "timing of laps" is a no no at most track day events (closed or open pit days)

It would be for Nige on 888s

Today is the last day for cancelling the track day as you need 14days notice. Due to lack of go go juice + map issue's ive cancelled & posponed it for when ever. Dont feel good about doing it. Scott will be looking at my map on the 31st April. Untill then its not moving

[Skullfudge]

Never mind, you made the right choice matey.

We can have the crack at The Ring

Have you cancelled mr Fudge? :EVO:

[Anger]

You need to get a good ECU Nige

You'll have some wait Nige

Its not the ECU thats the problem mate. Take a look in the staffroom.

[Anger]

I'm pulling ur pisser Nige and I have looked hahaha

[Steve_PPP]

Seems like this is a no-goer then i guess

I haven't booked yet on the off-chance that this might happen.... maybe we'll sort something for later in the summer.

[Scooby_Greg]

This morning I've just been able to re-arrange my business trip for that week so I could go along. Typical timing!

What I might do now is book for the day as it's better value if funds allow.

What fuel are you useing Greg? :EVO:

By then it'll probably be £2/ litre and it will from Murco.
Luckily the other car runs on normal unleaded so it's been easier to get hold of rather than being tied to v-power with the scoob.

The big A runs on 95ron? ! :EVO:

[Skullfudge]

My Sister & her Husband had booked a flight from Canada and they were landing at 7.10pm on Tue 17th April. We were then collecting them from Heathrow and I booked a hotel in London where the 4 of us were going to stay the night before heading down Cornwall the following day.

I made out I had an important meeting on 17th when I heard about Brands so they changed their flight to 19th.

I've cancelled the mini bus but couldn't change hotel date so I lost about £400 there, but other than that all is cool

[Steve_PPP]

Clive,

Really sorry if this is the reason for you being left out of pocket so badly. Unfortunately its just a shame when trying to organise these things that we get the ball rolling and get a good sized list, then everyone drops out. Tried to drum up support at the Chailey meet (as you know) but seemed i was fighting an uphill battle

I've still booked the day off work and could still do it, but think its best to try and rearrange it for another time if theres only 2 of us (its not like my scoob will offer you any competition either!). Like you say, guess we'll all have to save it for the Ring!

[Bolesroor]

Really everyone is dropping out., although not on track was going to be there as one of the few times work and events dont clash and it`s just down the road for me

[Skullfudge]

Don't be sorry Steve.

It's all bull5hit

I was trying to make Nige feel bad

[Steve_PPP]

You're a sod sometimes mate, i proper fell for that

I really enjoyed the taster session we did last year.

Perhaps another of those?

Maybe so

That got a great amount of interest, but that was partially due to the photoshoot we did on track i guess.

Will reassess things after Germany and see whats what.

Yep, it's very low tech. No anti-knock or anything as advanced as an evo or scoob. There's no advantage running it on any higher ron apart from the additional cleaning additives you get in some.

[Jolly Green Monster]

when you finally want it sorted properly Nige, let me know

Simon

If this is going to the Ring can I have a go? I mean as a passenger. If you do this for me I promis to stop calling the ugly ummm well ugly. The big Aston has always come top in my books, I love em.

It's beyond a joke mate. It's a Motec ecu why can't they get it sorted it's meant to be easy. Well for a mapper anyway. It might even be ok Simon Im not sure. I just want o make sure it is before driving it again. It isn't just one car that's gone bang from this guy......

Git

[Jolly Green Monster]

although I gest, I am also serious, bring it over to surrey for a power run and I will detcan check it and discuss the dyno plots for nothing, you will just need to pay charlie for a powerrun..

Simon

Very generous & a fantastic offer. Still no petrol of choice at this end though. JRM have also put a lock code on the ecu??

[Jolly Green Monster]

I was suggesting detcans and a couple of dyno pulls to see if it is safe.

Lock code makes no odds for that. If its not safe then options need to be sorted from that point.

Come on Nige , you bottled it
:EVO::EVO:

Turns out I was the only person to book at Brands from this forum according to Stuart at MSV. :EVO:

Nige, of course. We may have to wrestle out the co-pilot though!

I wouldn't trust him Greg

My first year at the ring, Nige came for a passenger lap to give me directions. He called a flat left ahead.... track went right
