Track time

[Waitey]

Is it for Renaults only?

 

[fairm010]

Wasn't last year so doubt it would be this year. A member was going round in a Fiesta ST last year.

 

[Ol’ Tarby]

No mate its all cars

 

[Typhoon]

Cars, pushbikes, segways - all welcome.

 

[Waitey]

Cool stuff. I didn't really want to have to buy a clio!

 

[fairm010]

Can I bring my Swegway and track it? Can't see Blyton having an issue with that?

 

[Inequality Street]

Which car are you bringing?

No Segway reps are allowed. Authentics only.

 

[Waitey]

Which car are you bringing?

Depends what I have, 6 month is a long time! If all fails I'll just under-steer off in the RS3!

 

[fairm010]

No Segway reps are allowed. Authentics only.

Can I borrow yours then?

 

[Typhoon]

Can I borrow yours then?

Of course.

Just be careful if the surrounding fields are ploughed!

 

[ElusiveHB]

Just to hijack the thread a bit, I've only done 30minute track sessions at big events before. For longer sessions 'open pit lane' does that mean I can come off, check things and go back out again during my session time?

Correct

Yeah, you can come on and off the track as much as you like during the session. The only constraint is that there is a limit to the number of cars allowed on track at any one time so you may have a short wait at the end of the pitlane before being allowed back on if it's busy.

 

[dann2707]

I'm sure they will be, i'm going!

I meant that in the dirty sense but also it coincides with my ability to come off track at any given moment :grimacing:

 

[montana]

Are passengers allowed?i.e. 1

 

[Nik]

Are passengers allowed?i.e. 1

Yes, you are allowed on track with a single passenger in the front, but they must have a track wristband (either another signed on driver, or have bought a passenger pass from Javelin at the sign-on office).

Thanks Nik , so a passenger is charged extra?

 

[Nik]

Thanks Nik , so a passenger is charged extra?

Yeah it's normally £5, but it's charged by Javelin the track day organiser on the day, we don't take payment for that in advance.

It wouldn't pass the noise tests at all...

Be reet

 

[DaveDreads]

Hooned it into work this morning and one of the lads in my section said he could hear my car coming down the duel carriageway while he was stood in reception and he said it was loud in there, that's easily an eight of a mile away, so i'm now a bit worried about failing the noise test, what was the procedure for testing?

I need to know :
db limit
what rpm
what distance away was the reading taken from

I want to do my own test with a db reader so I don't buy track time then get told my car's too loud and I can't play.

I had to do a double and triple take at who posted that!

That's technical as f**k!

An eighth of a mile isn't that far is it?

Get a eBay silencer to jam into it.

I don't think I even got noise tested last time tbh

Do you have the cat in Dave?
I did it with a Yozza + cat and it was fine last year. Plus there was that nuts grey 172 with the centre exhaust which was miles louder than anything else on the day and that didn't get in bother.

 

[Ol’ Tarby]

What exhaust you running Dave?

I don't actually remember anyone getting noise tested last year?

 

[DaveDreads]

Piper stealth, named for irony as even the deaf could hear me coming from a mile away, I have the standard 172 cat and it's boomy as f*ck.

 

[sburrell93]

This. I don't remember them doing any noise testing either. There was a mic sitting up at the side as you come out the pits but that's all I saw.

There was also a 350Z turned up for the track day the next day and was almost painfully loud when accelerating away from you but that seemed to be ok.

However, noise tests are usually measured at 0.5m and a 45 degree angle from the exhaust with the car at 4.5k rpm.

 

[Ol’ Tarby]

I don't think Blyton bother with it being quite isolated?

 

[sburrell93]

Yeah I think they're pretty relaxed with it. Although I do remember the guy that lives there telling us to be quiet after 11pm last year so people in the neighbouring houses wouldn't complain LOL. Nearest sign of civilisation was about 3 miles away! 😂

Edit: just checked... 105dB static and 95dB drive by at Blyton. You'd be doing well to go over those!

 

[LeeRS]

Can I bring an MX bike?

I remember Sam with the light grey 172 getting warned a few times about his car, he told me he passed the db test on his exhaust but it was his throttle bodies that made all the noise and the marshals kept waving flags at him, tbh I can't remember if he was talking about a db test at Blyton or another track day.

 

[Ol’ Tarby]

You'll be fine, Dave

 

[DaveDreads]

Hope so because the dog kennel is ridiculously loud at full whack.

Flol! I missed that!

As if throttle bodies are louder than an exhaust lol

 

[sburrell93]

Yeah you'll be fine. Worst comes to worst, ease off past the drive by mic lol.

 

[Ol’ Tarby]

I'm running a fattys induction kit and a cheap pattern exhaust which is loud and I was fine last year :up:

 

[DaveDreads]

His are srs, all the noise comes from the engine and drowns out the exhaust, ask Daniel.

Yeah you'll be fine. Worst comes to worst, ease off past the drive by mic lol.

Ease off? I'm not familiar with that phrase.

 

[montana]

Think you should be fine (just a guess) , my mate has a martelious(sp) exhaust on his FN2 which is 100db by the book and very loud and he has never had an issue. Be surprised if it's louder than that.
