Norfolk Sprint March 31st 2006

OK this is a new venue and we hope it will prove to be a popular one.

The site is Anglia Karting North Pickenham near Swaffham Norfolk www.anglia-karting.co.uk
Usual site facilities etc.


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 08.30-12.30, then mandatory lunch break. Then pm session 13:30-16:15

Catering will be onsite in the Burger stall type set up.

The format wil be very simliar to Haynes 0-64ft times and a lap in the 70 seconds ish

The nearest Shell garage with Optimax is some distance so come prepeared Regular Super is available in Swaffham


This event will cost you £50 per car, £75 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 Track 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 and MLR Members , 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.


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

Tickets will be in the Club shop shortly !!

Thank you for Your Suport Liam

I also spoke with Liam (Lengthmeister) earlier and he may well be interested as well.

Hope this is cool with you........

Blacky very funny i was thinking helium in the tyres make the car lighter :D

Rob thank you for your payment will be good to see you there!

We did some set up laps the other night :D :D

Cheers Liam :coolsm:

Blacky
03-03-2006, 19:01
Set up laps!!!

That means you have an unfair advantage of knowing the track, I think its only fair that we impose a weight penalty to you, which means you have to take either Benny or me as passenger on your timed runs to add ballast ;)

LR6GSR
03-03-2006, 19:08
There will be pleanty of time in the morning to learn the track, then to the task in hand getting the fast timmed one in ;)
I recomend throwing out balast on the timmed runs :crackup: :crackup:

Liam

PS i have had a wooden spoon made for the slowest lap just hope i dont end up winning it.

Benny
03-03-2006, 21:44
Carbon tape........don't think so :p . Its a proper one matey so you be afraid!!! :crackup: :crackup: Check us out with our lightweight goods!!! :crackup:

As for the wooden spoon Liam, you may as well get it made up now with Logan the Slowgun on it!!!! :crackup: :crackup:

Finally in an attempt to help Logan and I not win the spoon I have invited a few other owner clubs along:

www.iownasaxowithneons.com

www.novasrock.com

www.vectrasarethepoormansevo.com

And the competition blows wide open............

LR6GSR
05-03-2006, 17:01
Hi everyone,
On the day i will need some helpers with the running of the day.
The main job i need to fill is Data Inputting the Lap times into the PC as they are recorded, this is a job for the day.
Me, Benny and Darin will sort the Time beam, registration and linning cars up.

Cheers Liam :)

Benny
06-03-2006, 08:42

ALAN IV
08-03-2006, 18:49
First time for everyone :D

This is a new venue.

Just take it slowly at first to learn the layout.

Once off the line you will be in second gear all the way round to the finish.

Four wheel drifting a couple of corners, :crackup:

I did try and video a lap with liam, but it didn,t come out to well.

Drive as slow as you like, there,s no prizes for sticking it in the barriers.

I tip benny for the win :coolsm:

LR6GSR
08-03-2006, 19:08
I tip me for the wooden spoon :crackup:

Benny
09-03-2006, 07:17
Just take it slowly at first to learn the layout.

Ur yeah..... :D

Four wheel drifting a couple of corners,

No ayc, no ayc, no ayc ha ha ha :crackup:

I tip benny for the win

Is that for a) stacking it b) the event or c) the wooden spoon?

Heaveho6
09-03-2006, 16:36
Sorry peeps, don't think I can make this now, was holding off to see if I could but I can't :(
Have a good one though, hopefully you won't have snow on the track like at the last Haynes!

Benny
10-03-2006, 07:21
:cry: No Integrale?? :cry: :cry:

Was looking forward to seeing that! :cry:

Heaveho6
10-03-2006, 17:27
Benny,
Thanks for the concern.
Unfortunately I still have a power steering leak and gearbox leak despite whipping the transfer box off to try and sort both. I think the gearbox leak is simply a case of being overfilled but the power steering is more serious and probably will mean a complete overhall of the rack so it won't be ready in time :(

Next one for sure :smthumbup

Benny
10-03-2006, 20:39
Next one for sure

Gonna hold you to that.......... ;)

mike rst

It will be appearing on track at the Rallyday this year along wth loads of others. It's 100 years of Lancia celebrations this year and 20 years of the Delta 4WD so we are having a dedicated track session and a nice feature in the programme. :D

Nick @ NR tried to adjust the damping a couple of weeks back but found that one of the rears is unadjustable. STR had the back legs off today and we have found that one of the rear dampers hasn't been made properly (not quite sure how this went undetected for so long, but still).

Now have a set of HKS dampers on the back and a set of Ohlins on the front. This feels great in a straight line/when you are driving normally, but as soon as you start to push on, the rear of the car develops a bit of an appetite for overtaking the front :eek:

Just hope the rear Ohlins are back again before the sprint :cry:

Disappointing response really. In a way its a good thing as we'll have more track time but if we don't cover the cost then we won't get a repeat event.

Just been down to the track, walking the layout so i know where to go :D
Benny is blacky still double driving the scooby?? does that count for two scooby,s beating you. :D

Dont forget what i told you ;)



Polish the car, cuts through the air a bit better. :crackup:

Take out the spare wheel and rear seat,

Run the car nearly empty, you will only need a couple of gallons all day,
That should save you .1 of a second maybe :D

Looks like it may be wet, forecast is showers etc.

28-03-2006, 11:38

Anyway with Blacky only making 280 bhp and 240ft lbs of torque on the rollers it don't seem like i'll have much of an issue anyway!!! :crackup:

Yeah sorry Liam, its 3 and a half hours from here, The way I was going to do it was to stay at a travelodge (when I booked I was going to do this but with numbers being small id be there on my own and I bore the hell out of myself after a while) . So I was going to drive down at 6am :blah: If I could get the day off - looking like I have to work atm, I'd still have to leave by 230 to get to this wedding. :(

Cheers Crypt.

Had a quick look at road atlas, and there doesn't appear to be any direct or main routes from Silverstone to the Norfolk Sprint :shrug:

As i'm driving up from down south, it'll take me about 3 - 3 1/2 hours to get to Silverstone without the additional travelling to the Sprint, then a 5 hour drive home. :(

Think I would have made an appearance if it was say only an extra hour of travelling.

Ah well, sorry just a little too far for me......shame. :rolleyes:

I know, its not good........ :( All I can suggest if you do another one to maybe involve the Scoobs from the start and give them loads of notice, then a few more might be interested.

BTW, why is the Mad Monk not doing this :confused: :confused:

Fairly happy with the RR day, bhp was pretty much spot on, torque was a tad low, but Clive put that down to the fuel and the fact I have never done a ECU reset since owning it, so with a ECU reset and some fresh Optimax and octane booster I would have seen slighty stronger torque and maybe a few extra ponies!

But, it is running fine, so I am happy as its complety stock at the mo, and the gearing makes it quicker than other cars with more BHP ;)

Looks like I will have to get up early Friday, flying back tomorrow night, get home late, then will have to get up real early to fit new brake pads, and maybe wash the beast due to it being filthy and sitting at Stansted :rolleyes:

Damn shame Rob......was looking forward to meeting you. Maybe next time....... :cry: YOu should've said about the staying over thing matey. I am sure either myself or Liam would've quite happily put you up for the night....... ;)

Silverstone to the sprint would probably be no more than 2 hours max I reckon. Done it before and lets face it we hardly drive at 60mph everywhere do we?? ;)

BTW, why is the Mad Monk not doing this

Two reasons. Firstly, his car is still in bits after blowing it up on Xmas Eve and he flies out to Oz on Friday..... :(

All I can suggest if you do another one to maybe involve the Scoobs from the start and give them loads of notice, then a few more might be interested.

We posted the event on Scoobynet on 1st March. I would have thought 4 and a half weeks would be enough?? :confused:

Can't believe we can't get more than 10 cars for this. Oh well, as long as we cover the costs of the day etc then I suppose its ok but would've been nice to see more support.

They are all afraid of getting beaten by the BMW…

Them and me both........ :eek: ;) :p

Marky, hi mate.

It is pretty tight all the way round, 1st and 2nd gear only.
Not as hard on the car as haynes around the radius, but there are some slow corners.
Its fast enough in the right places, where theres room to stop if you get in trouble.

Not as fast as barkston :D

I stand here a beaten man and by the better driver. Logan led from the first lap and although I managed to knock 5 secs off by the end of the day Logan improved as well. In the end there was 3 seconds between us. :)

Superb day, can't wait for the next event. I think i've got the bug now though. Drove like a complete mentalist all the way home to Attleborough!!!! :coolsm: :crackup: :crackup:

Anyway Mick, your comment about me and Blacky..................

Great meeting all you chaps, good atmosphere, well run and a good little battle with a Evo 4 as well ;) Thought I best let Alan win tho as I want to be invited back to the next one :crackup: :crackup: ;)

No it was close, 0.09 secs in the end, and I proved that maybe all Scoobies don't understeer :p

But dont get carried away,there were no real fast Evo's there today,all respect to everyone who took part,but Mt evo on the last Haynes sprint showed class shines above spec :eek:
When you beat him or others in his league will you be recognised as beeing really good :D

Totally agree with you paul :D you only have to beat the quickest car on the day, and logan put up a good fight.
I could name a few guys off here that would of beaten me no problem, but they werent there.
MT
GAZ
KNOXVILLE
CRYPTWALK
DLYSPEED
plus a few others
Those named have beaten me every time i came up against them, but only by 2/3 seconds.
This sprint is totally different to haynes and grantham and would not suit high powererd cars, hence me beating paul this time around.
I am sure he will take revenge at the next grantham sprint :D
You turn up, you try your best, but most of all you enjoy yourself :D and today was my day ;)

Sorry Corbs but I dont understand your point??

If Loeb didn't turn up for a rally and gronholm won would you say he didnt really win coz Loeb weren't there??

Bottom line is we had 12 people turn up and whilst the competition was serious we all had a laugh.

As Blacky says his car is completely standard and kept up with a car with nearly 100bhp and 100ft lbs of torque more than him..........he is a good driver. End of............

As far as I am concerned if some of the big names had turned up then yeah, woohoo we could have seen some real class but as it is we just just saw raw class and a bunch of guys having a blast.

Finally as a reply to your last post....Vendetta?? Don't get what you are trying to say there but if you reply to every thread with these kind of comments then I can see why there would be......

I was just sticking to our agreement mate ... you were supposed to beat Logan for the class B trophy ( which may I remind you, you failed to do. Not that I'm rubbing it in or anything :mockery: ), and I was supposed to make sure that the Scoobs didn't even take the wooden spoon home!

corbs, if you look at the times at haynes apart from MT and knox 70.? and 71.? repectfully.
These are the top sprinters in the club.

My time at haynes is 74.90 and there are 18 other drivers quicker than me, of which half of them are in the 74,s as well.

This sprint is around 22 seconds shorter than haynes so it will make all the times compact.
ie 2seconds quicker at haynes might only be 1 sec here.

The only way we will know is if some of the quick guys come play next time :D

corbs,
Looking forward to mallory in the old girl ;)

If Loeb didn't turn up for a rally and gronholm won would you say he didnt really win coz Loeb weren't there??

Bottom line is we had 12 people turn up and whilst the competition was serious we all had a laugh.

As Blacky says his car is completely standard and kept up with a car with nearly 100bhp and 100ft lbs of torque more than him..........he is a good driver. End of............

As far as I am concerned if some of the big names had turned up then yeah, woohoo we could have seen some real class but as it is we just just saw raw class and a bunch of guys having a blast.

Finally as a reply to your last post....Vendetta?? Don't get what you are trying to say there but if you reply to every thread with these kind of comments then I can see why there would be......


Lol,you need to check yourself,as all the regulars no here,we all have a larf at all our sprints,are you new here :confused:
There is no point to my relply,just a observation :D
Sorry you obviously dont no what has had happend on the Mlr lately,Crypt :rolleyes:
Anyway Corbs over and out :confused:

Speka de Engleees??

Sorry mate, don't get you. Rob was supposed to come today but something prevented him coming................

I am clearly not new to the MLR with 1800 posts but I am new to sprints. I have heard all about the big players and have had the chance to meet and talk to most of them.

In essence then we should say that although today was a great day and one of the first of its kind in our area we should wipe out everything we have achieved and learnt just coz the sprint regulars didn't attend.

I aint getting into an arguement with you but you really have ****ed me off. What the **** has this got to do with you anyway?? :confused:

Benny
31-03-2006, 20:57
Pfff ... OK ... I admit it ... I was crap

I think you were doomed after you first lap mate. I used half my camcorder battery on that lap alone.......... :D

I doesn't matter mate. What matters is we all had a grand day and showed support for the MLR in our region.

Good seeing you again mate.

corbs, if you look at the times at haynes apart from MT and knox 70.? and 71.? repectfully.
These are the top sprinters in the club.

My time at haynes is 74.90 and there are 18 other drivers quicker than me, of which half of them are in the 74,s as well.

This sprint is around 22 seconds shorter than haynes so it will make all the times compact.
ie 2seconds quicker at haynes might only be 1 sec here.

The only way we will know is if some of the quick guys come play next time :D

corbs,
Looking forward to mallory in the old girl ;)
will be looking to follow you around :coolsm:

Just got in after a rather long trip back (I love the M25 on a Friday night - especially when I get gatso'd! :cry: )

What the hell though . . . it was a bl00dy great day - great driving, great atmosphere and great weather, thanks to Liam for pulling it all together and everyone who came along and had a good time! :smthumbup :)

We'll be doing it again soon . . . . . when I'm sure Benny will get under 2.00sec 0-64ft time!!! :D

Looked like a good day guys, wish I had the spare time to have driven up from Silverstone today, to have a look around. Nice to see all the pictures too.

The last sprint I did at Haynes, don't think anybody took any pictures :shrug:

What an absolutley brilliant day.

My first sprint ever and I can safely say I prefered it to a trackday at Snetty. It was such a test of skill and because you never get the chance to build up too much speed there's very little chance of a serious off. Not to mention the fact it only cost £50 and used half a tank of fuel.

Massive thanks to Liam, Darin and all the rest of the Evo boys who made us feel more than welcome.

Thanks to Logan for showing the Evo's what a standard classic scoob is capable of in the right hands. Wish I'd never sold mine now :(

Great meeting everyone today and look forward to doing it again soon.

Pics and vids to follow (if i don't collapse into a coma).

rich,
I am ashamed to say i got a unrecorded time due to my thinking it was a rally cross event :crackup:

It would be good if you and cath can get to this years grantham sprint, its more flowing than haynes and is a very good track.
Loads of track time due to more than one car on the track at a time.
The start line is not also the finish line, and there no crossing over so 3/4 cars out together evenly spaced out.
Last year i think it was gaz, knox and rob in the top three.
Paul (neverneverman) 4th and me 5th.
Get yourself over there and lets have a play :D
c u soon

Might have been handy last night if I had the presence of mind to post the winning times / groups for the day! :rolleyes:
They were:

Group A: Alan IV (Evo4) - 51.62 secs
Group B: Logan (Impreza) - 51.71 secs
0-64ft: Alan IV - 1.93 secs

A list of all the times will be posted shortly.

ALAN IV

Ok, thanks again to everyone that took part yesterday :)

What i will say is, this was a very relaxed day, competition wise.
Only two of us taking part had sprinted before, me and paul (neverneverman 1 sprint?)
Paul was the only car to change rims on to semi-slicks.

All other cars ran an, as road set up, ie road tyres, all seats, spare wheels, jacks etc still in the cars :D

I never even took my tyres i normally use for sprinting, knowing that would just give me a unfair advantage :D

If cryptwalk had of come, i would of used them to try and beat him for once :D

Hopefully next time we will get some bigger names at the sprint, and the locals can use what they learned yesterday to maybe take a few scalps???
Bring it on.

For all you regular sprinters, take a look at danny,s video in the photo,s and vids section where you can see what you missed :coolsm:

Cryptwalk
01-04-2006, 11:03
looks like a good day chaps gutted I couldnt come, we didnt get to the wedding untill 930pm either, So chances are I could of come down at dinner and got back in time anyway. :mad:

Alan, im using Toyo T1r road tyres atm as the weather has been pants and my DO1Js were illegal. These are excellent in the wet but less fun than the do1s for sure, I cant drift anywhere near as good. :(

Be good to see you all at the forth coming barkston sprint as its not far from you lot, ill defo be there.

Mick429
01-04-2006, 11:10
Is there a thread up for the Barkston sprint yet? Couldn't find one ...

Cryptwalk
01-04-2006, 11:16
Not yet im afraid, I think its listed in events, not sure when it is tbh but hopefully sooner rather than later.

Nothin B
01-04-2006, 11:54
Sounds like you lot hat a good time. :coolsm:
Was just wondering what you guys thought of the track?
Was there much run off?
That was always a big fear for me at Haines, mistakes could be punished severly.

Will keep an eye out for the next one though.

Cheers

:cry: It should be my name up there alongside the 0-64ft times. I reckon out of nearly 20 runs I hit 2 seconds flat over 10 times. Just could not get under 2 secs.

Saying that though looking at the results 2 secs was a good time and 2nd best all day and considering I'm in grp B I am quite chuffed. I knew buying a paddle clutch had its advantages!!!

Can't make the Lincs one though as I am in Flordia :cry: Gutted :cry:

ALAN IV
02-04-2006, 12:10
Rich, yes mate thanks for the advice. :smthumbup

It did make the car spin up on the exit, :D

You did very well yourself, for a first time sprint.
Your times improved right throughout the day.

Hope to see you at the next one.

Do you not fancy a trip up to the grantham sprint??

I was so used to launching my classic scoob I forgot I carried the extra weight. The standard clutch didn't like the 5k+ rpm launches much :D
