Haynes Sprint Day details :
We have now confirmed the booking on Saturday August 27th.The day will be run as a sprint day, but will not be MSA authorised so no need for competition licenses,scrutineering and the cars dont have to be caged etc.
A MAXIMUM OF 20 CARS WILL BE ALLOWED AT £30 PER CAR.
It will be strictly first come first served.
The format for the day will be as follows:
1. The permitted Noise level on a Saturday is 101 db, so I think everyones car should be ok.
2.Helmets are compulsory.
Front seat passengers are permitted.
If needed, you will need to arrange your own insurance.
The Track is open from 10:00-13:00, then mandatory lunch break. Then pm session 14:00-17:00
Next to the track is the Haynes Motor Museum, with toilets and restaurant etc.
We were thinking of running the morning sessions as practise runs and the afternoon with timed runs. (This will be confirmed)
Visitors/Spectators are very welcome and FREE. No young children please, unless extremely well supervised
No-one else is on the track during the day, it will be exclusively ours!
EVERYONE WITH NO EXCEPTION must sign the Haynes disclaimer BEFORE entering the track area.
To make things easier for everyone involved, there will be only 2 classes:
STANDARD & MODIFIED
As this course is all about the handling of the vehicles, the slight performance advantage of the Willy will be negated. A good driver in a 1.8 will be just as quick as the 2 litres anyway.
We will say on the day who goes into which category, but for those that are running very minor mods, we will be using some common sense and you will be going into the standard section, especially if your running a 1.8.
Cars that will automatically go into the modified will be anything running slicks, trick suspension, rollcages and high powered engines. 2-3 very minor tweeks are ok and will run in standard.
If we get a lot more 1.8's than expected they "may" be split up into a different group.
Above all, the day is just supposed to be a bit of fun and a weekend get together. We will be booking up a campsite nearby over the next few days, so I will need to know who wants to camp. We will be staying on the Friday and Saturday nights, although as Monday will be a bank holiday, we may stay the Sunday as well.
We now require payment ASAP to the tune of £30. Please send your cheques payable to Ritchspeed Imports to the address below and write "SPRINT" on the rear of the cheque. If you can also confirm your real name if its different to your forum name on a note in the envelope.

Can you confirm what i will get for my 30 pounds please? Ie, how much time on track etc?
Ill almost certainly come along, but probably to watch.
Tracktime = 10:00-13:00 & 14:00-17:00
:D
KingStromba
13-06-2005, 11:09
But i think Mark said we run one at a time when timed. So have to divide track time by 30 cars.

Mark_Ritchspeed
13-06-2005, 11:18
Tracktime will be divided equally between the 20 cars. With runs taking about 1min 20secs at a time. I would guess on around 6-7 practise runs each in the morning and around 4-5 timed runs in the afternoon.
Obviously total track time is not the same as a trackday, but its much easier on the car and obviously much,much cheaper. Its not supposed to be a trackday, but an alternative to the norm and a cheap intoroduction to competition without all the pressures normally involved with competition.
We also have the option to do some 0-60mph timed runs in with the morning practise for a bit of extra spice.
I'll come along not sure about going on track though but i might have a change of heart if you struggle for numbers.
Sending a cheque for £60, for two Williams. Can't wait :D
I'm in too...will have the willy track and avos on by then.. :)

Danny. Unfortunately we arent yet ready to accept credit card payments, but I am looking into the best (i.e cheapest) solution for us. We have looked into paypal, but it seems a bit of a rip-off. If you havent got a cheque book, let me know and well sort something out.
My phone numbers up everywhere on the internet, so I am not too bothered about posting it here.
Office : 01970 871092
Mobile : 07810 423974
You should get an answer on one of the phones at anytime between 8.30 am and 10pm. Thats my approx working day, 7 days a week. :shock:
ive sent a cheque to u mark, those who are going what u doing about travelling? going early saturday or friday night and staying somewere??

Good man!
Its looking likely it wont be an all Clio day though, so the classes will be needing a reshuffle.
Where did everyone go that said they wanted to come?
Scared of some proper competition? :twisted:
lol im thinking maybe they own american cars they dont go round croners fast? only good for a straight mile lol :P
Mark_Ritchspeed
30-06-2005, 19:32
:roll:
Perhaps they've all locked their wheels for better straight line stability and improved traction on launches?
I'm deffo up for this....I'll get a cheque off..

If I get time to fix my car I'll be at the Pod so that'll be fine.
Somehow in the next 2 weeks I need to re-assemble a 2.5 STi conversion, rebuild another 2 engines, change 2 Subaru clutches and try and fit in the Clio all around the other daily servicing work.
Sometimes I ****ing hate running my own business. :evil:

I've just booked my room at the Sparkford Inn for 2 nights staying the 26th and 27th August, £55 per night.

Bear with me guys, yesterday i just had no seats in my car... today i quit my job 8) :? at this rate - who knows what i'll be doing by friday?!
Mark - Will have to let you know nearer the time if there is still a space left
Mark: I don't have an old fashioned cheque book. Do you have modern means of taking payment? i.e. BACS or summat. :D
Zollo, if you wanna convoy then cool, probably won't be doing 170mph on the way... :D

What's the score on camping then Mark???...Have u got somewhere in mind/booked???....Few people are booking Hotels but I need to keep the costs down and the weather should still be ok at the end of the month (hopefully).

02-08-2005, 22:00
I really need to know numbers before booking the camping. When its not pssing down I actually enjoy the camping anyway.
There a couple of sights I have in mind, but need to know some numbers beforehand.
I may just book 5 pitches to start with and see how that goes.
