System-G, will there be a tyre changing van there if i take a couple of lose rears? I fear i'll burn through what i have on at the moment as the wear rate is high at cruntingthrope.

No their isn't Jon due to nobody asking before now

[jonb-]

Bother, i guess people are going to find out on the day they should have!

[System-G]

MMmmm... Slight over-looking here, I only assumed there would be tyre changing facilities there as all airfield days I've done have had them.

Ken, who is the trackday company handling things? Or is this booked directly with Brunters?

I am taking a spare car with spare wheels for the return journey. which reminds me I better go secure my non-track wheels...

Their was no interest last year and only 1 person is interested this year so if it was you would you pay for one to attend?

I am very important Ken

Might be worth giving these guy's a ring as they are closest, even if they can't help out then they might know someone who can.

Yes you can just turn up and run on the 1/4 mile Gordy.

Is the drag strip just limited to toyotas Ken? as i know someone who would like to get a quarter mile time in his non-toyota car.

The trophies are limited to Toyota's only but anything Jap can run on the 1/4.

[Sidewinder]

Are we congretating IMOC-UK-stylie in the same place as last year? We had a nice little spot just off-track for a get together of MR2s.

So who's going then?

[jonb-]

I am, i'll throw my beast into the corner but she aint pretty!

I'm meeting up at watford gap too.

Ken / system, whats the noise limit there again? Mine will pass static no problem as it has a departure 2 pro but my BOV can register at around 105db@20 meters! If there's drive by meters i'll have to fit my other fins.
