Haynes Sprint Thurs 02-March-2006

Lets do it all again !!

HAYNES SPRINT No1 for 2006

MLR MEMBERS ONLY

HAYNES MOTOR MUSEUM TEST TRACK, Thurs 02-March-2006



I've managed to secure a booking of the Test track at the Haynes Motor Museum near Yeovil, Somerset.
The maximum number of cars to take part in the Sprint is 20 cars with only one car on the track permitted at a time.

1. The permitted Noise level on a weekday is 105 db, so we should all pass that.
2.Helmets are compulsory.
3.Front seat passengers are permitted.
4.If required, as usual 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 world famous Haynes Motor Museum, with adequate toilets and dining facilities.

1/2 mile down the road is a Shell garage with Optimax


This event will cost you £35 per car, £50 for two for double driven cars, for the whole day!

Please do not pay until you are a confirmed runner !!

Visitors/Spectators are very welcome and FREE. No children please.
If there are less than 18 cars the price will rise proportionately
No-one else is on the track during the day, it is exclusively ours!

EVERYONE WITH NO EXCEPTION must sign the Haynes disclaimer BEFORE entering the track area, failing to sign this form causes me to get an ear bashing and jeopardises our hire of the track in the future,
As we are allowed to run 20 cars I will run 2 different classes, ie, a stock'ish class and a modified class, hence slicks will be allowed, but not needed.

Preference given to Mitsubishi's , if you wish to participate in an Non Mitsubishi car I will add you to the reserve list, and you will have to take a chance.
To be fair to you though I will confirm your place and add you to the list of runners one week before the event ! i.e. 22 Feb


FIRST COME FIRST SERVED !! REMEMBER ONLY 20 CARS PERMITTED !!

Tickets will be in the Club shop shortly !!

Sorry Chris, the spec has changed a little since the last Haynes I attended. I have Ecutek and stuff, so that puts me in Group "A" I guess. :)

Would be good to see you there Tony and take the crown ( now that your a bona-fida racing driver :eek: ;) )

Do a search on here, there are plenty of vid clips, pics and a track layout diagram somewhere :)

Blade
01-02-2006, 20:16
I did, but found nothing. Trying to see how tight and slow the track is and whether the Z4 would stand any chance.

Point the way Jetskidia :)

here Tony. It's a mix of tight and flowing corners. It's a great social day.

Blade

Mmm - looks like it definitely favours an EVO. Did you get into 1st gear in any of those corners?

It is only a poor little Z4 :D

Be nice to see you there Tony :) You could even buy me lunch (if they'll break a £50 - te he he ) !!

I'm not working that day so if its dry I'll come along to smoke copious amounts of fags and chat to people as I very much doubt I'll have anything to drive !!

I'll also try to beat my record of getting there from my house (approx 30 miles away) in less than 2 hours. I ALWAYS get lost, its unbelieveable !

Same for me as for Blade, I still have an oil leak although I think it's now more power steering than gearbox (hey everything leaks, it's old ;) ). Transfer box is nearly out now (to get to the rack), just depends how bad or whats leaking on the power steering but doesn't look hopeful it will be back together for thursday :(

yeah another great haynes sprint - track was snowy at the start of the day and grip was horrible - but had dried out after lunch.

mt showed his worth (again) by beating us all wilst running in his 9gt - ahhhhhhh. good on you mike.

as always the social side of it was great.

thanks to chris + his missus + darin.

Thanks to Jackie, Chris and Darin for another excellent Haynes Sprint :)

Well done to MT for getting the quickest time in a standard car, although I'm not looking forwards to telling people I was beaten by a car that was still running in ;) :)


Cheers,

Great fun today. Many thanks to Chris ,Jackie and Darin. I was amazed I was able to tease such a quick time out of the car whilst keeping the revs down to below 4000. I guess it really does show that smooth is fast. I was in 4th gear most of the lap :eek: :D :D

Still prefer the 6 though :D

Yes - another great day . . . although I thought the sheet ice early on was going to be a problem! :eek:

Thanks to all the drivers, and Jackie and Chris - without whom it wouldn't happen!

Thanks as usual to Chris, Jackie and Darin for freezin their buts off organising and running.
Had the most fun yet, and learnt a bit more about the car going sideways.

Matt - Simon has your spare wheel and jack ;)

And we've added a "group MT" for the final results :D

So to get faster I need a IX turbo as my next mod it seems - well done Mike for showing us how it can be done :coolsm:

Rich,

Started in the low 80's first thing in the wet, and 3rd timed run was a 74.96 I think, we'll know soon.

Suspension definately did the trick. It wasn't like a wobbly blancmange like the last time you saw it go around there :mhihi:

Not sure about the Toyo T1R's at the moment either. Jury's out on these, especially in the dry. Dylspeed parked up halfway through the day, as he couldn't get on with them.

Ironically, Marky does really well with them. :)

The thing with the t1rs is they arnt that good till they scrub down abit and have a few heat cycles put through them ,then the rubber gets a little harder and copes better with the extra heat on track or sprint.Still if you want outright grip then the new D02gs are brill,but hang on to them T1Rs as Knocksville done real good at Haynes on emm,plus they are fantastic in the wet for your up and coming track calender ;)
Well done on your times :D

Thanks Rich ;)

The T1R's had about 400 miles on them before haynes, this what they looked like after 4 wet runs and 3 dry runs.

I'm sure they'll be alright, it's just me looking for excuses :D

That is how Alan1V's looked when he ran on his new set. Better once scrubbed in.
The tread flexes because it is tall i supose
What pressures was you running??

Liam,

Was running stock 28psi rear and dropped the fronts from 32psi to 29psi. They'll be ok, I'm sure ;)

Alan is still running his they have done several sprints etc.
Just wondered if different pressures help or hinder on a sprint day?

Rich,

It was the same guy that did the MLR Powerstation RR day, WRC-Tech RR day and now Haynes. Wasn't the guy from Pearsons.

No wonder Darin got his car in J-Tuner this month :D

Have you any idea when your reviews will be featured in these Mags?

Powerstation dyno should be in the next issue of JP (on sale March 7). Dunno about the Haynes Sprint - not even written it yet! and bear in mind the Top Gear Sprint was only last month so don't expect another Evo Sprint too soon....

And I tried to order last months mag - and WH Smiths tried to fob me off with the "Spring" eddition :cry:
All I can say is I tried for about 3 weeks to get a copy of the Top Gear one, and I'm so ******** off I've given up.

Wasn't oil surge. Dodgy injector, leading to lean in one cylinder and disappearing spark plug electrode :o

Still not sorted :(
