Branners Posted January 8, 2003 Share Posted January 8, 2003 Looks good to me. You fancy organising it all for the club or do you need somebody else to sort it? JB Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lust2luv Posted January 8, 2003 Share Posted January 8, 2003 Woo-hoo, just down the road, makes a nice change. Sounds like it could be an awesome event if it gets enough support. Like Billing, but with the added bonus of track action! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JB Just saw it on uksupras - but happy to help arrange - John you up for this? If we look to get 2 sessions for 12 cars each - cost (inc entry and track sesh £20.00) Suppose should start with expressions of interest OK - no bullshitting around with 'put me down and I'll see' this will be money up front and death if you pull out!

lust2luv Posted January 8, 2003 Share Posted January 8, 2003 I'm an absolute definite to attend (will probably bring a Prelude and 1 or 2 200SXs with me too), but I don't see there's anyway they'll let me on the track. IIRC there's a strict noise restriction at Castle Combe (99dB?) and my baby must be just about the loudest Supe in the country... (any challengers? ) I'll try to scrimp and save and buy something like a Nur Spec with a baffle beforehand, but can't promise anything, so whack me down for entry only.

Branners Posted January 8, 2003 Share Posted January 8, 2003 I will go along for the show part of it, but I wont be going on the track for various reasons....If you have been to a Castle Coombe CCC day you will know why. So you may want to ask Who wants to attend the show Who wants track time Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mark Ayling Posted January 8, 2003 Share Posted January 8, 2003 Pah! Lightweights, the lot of ya! Seriously though, just because you go on a track doesn't mean you have to cane the car or push it too much - it is possible to enjoy it without going mad.... (do as I say and not as I do!!)

Branners Posted January 9, 2003 Share Posted January 9, 2003 I have some great video footage from one of the CCC days, 4 a-breast in to a tight right hander, and the cars just keep streaming through the shot. Scary stuff indeed. If it was just Supras on the track it might be different... JB Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mark Ayling Posted January 9, 2003 Share Posted January 9, 2003 Ah didn't realise it would be mixed sessions, I assumed that it would be club sessions, like Trax.... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Branners Posted January 9, 2003 Share Posted January 9, 2003 Im working on the principle that its 12 spaces per club, but that double that amount will be on track so you cant be sure who else is on there with you. If its just Supras then its fine, but if any other makes are on there then its a little bit trickier. JB Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Snowman Posted January 9, 2003 Share Posted January 9, 2003 Are there any restrictions on driving on the track, i.e. need a helmet, engine cut switches, roll cage, noise levels etc? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Branners Posted January 9, 2003 Share Posted January 9, 2003 Crash helmet is all you need. JB Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Snowman Posted January 9, 2003 Share Posted January 9, 2003 Excellent. i should be able to get hold of one of those. see you there. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lust2luv Posted January 9, 2003 Share Posted January 9, 2003 I'd assumed from what had been said that you could book a club exclusive session of 12 cars and you'd only have Supras on the track. Would feel a lot safer then (CCC days at the Combe are scary, although great fun to watch! I think I counted 33 cars on the track at one event!), although on the downside would mean I'd have nothing to overtake. I think you need helmets, passengers are allowed (again with helmets), there's a basic car check to make sure nothing's gonna drop off and the dreaded noise level test (something like 99dB at 3,000rpm IIRC, I probably don't). Oh and a drivers' licence. Thinking it through if they are only after £180 per session, you could just have 2 drivers willing to cough up £90 each for 5 laps of head-to-head action on an empty track? And it is a good track (ableit with a slight lack of run-off areas) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I've found the big organised meets tend to be in the Midlands (wasn't one of them in the icy wastelands north of Nottingham last year??), and every bloody Jap owners organised meet is in the South East!
