For all you guys who live above the Watford gap. A chance to take part in the world famous MLR sprints
Following the massive success of the register organised Haynes sprint events, and also following requests from some of our more Northern members, the MLR is pleased to announce it has reserved a day at a sprint track near Grantham in Lincolnshire.
MLR members have run at this track last year and though under subscribbed the day went well, everyone whom attended had a great time and are sure to return this year.
This event is to be held on Saturday the 17th June, This date does clash with the d1gb championship@silverstone however, so be sure not to double book!
The event will be run in accordance with RAFMSA sprint rules, all that means to you the competitors is that you will need to wear a full coverall (not neccesarily MSA approved, just so it covers the arms and legs,clean overalls would be ideal) a helmet, and the car will have to pass noise testing (110 decibels at a distance of 1/2 metre and 45 degrees to the tailpipe) This is quite a high limit so everyone should pass no problem.
Marshalls and a fire/rescue team will be in attendance also, although the track is very safe with plenty of run off where you need it.
This day is run in a nice relaxed manner, just like those of you who have attended Haynes will be used to and makes for a very enjoyable day, both for the hardcore sprinter, and for the novice who wants to stretch the cars legs a little for the first time.
Price is set at a very competitive £75 for the day which includes MSA membership for the day and trophys will be available for the FTD for 2 classes of car, modified and standard. Tickets are available in the shop and 4 weeks before event, we will be in touch with directions to the event and other relevant information.
Please add names below, but tickets are available on a first bought from the shop, first served basis and we unfortunately cannot reserve tickets.
Spectators are allowed as long as there are not hundreds and they need to come in the cars that are running. As we cant keep track of any more cars than are running on the track.
Crash helmets: as long as they are not badly damaged I will be happy. Scrapes from people throwing there bikes down the road are not acceptable.
people can bring there kids as long as they are not left on there own and are made full aware of where they can and cant go.
Track layout:

Any questions regarding this sprint can be directed at myself as for the time being ill be managing it. Thanks you.
Please support your club on this one as this is the most Northern sprint we do, we must have some northern members who like to use there cars as intended. Besides im going and I need beating. what better insentive? ;)
Rock on.

Great stuff. :cool:
Regarding the price, last years was based on 30 cars but as we only got 15 runners the MLR had to get the difference, this yeard we are trying to cover the cost. This is track isnt the cheapest to hire out but imo its one of the best sprint tracks ive been to.

Yes i would agree its an awesome track and worth every penny :)..... think the only time ive had as much fun in my car was a wet trackday at croft :)....come on people get your names down this is excellent opportunity to do what your car does best, and a lot easier on it than a trackday :)....runs are less than a minute once you get the hang of it :D.... think i will defo be sticking to road tyres this year as it was a very scary first few corners on cold slicks last year :eek:

Hi Blacky, I cant see a problem with you enetering as you entered the other sprint. Ive added you and blue evo6 gsr.
Thanks Cryptwalk :coolsm: :coolsm: :coolsm:
Blacky,
You're more than welcome to come along but as it's an MLR event we have to offer it to MLR members first (which I'm sure you'll understand). However, if you become an MLR member ;) or we don't sell all available places - which is what happened at the Norfolk Sprint - a place is yours.
Hope this sounds fair - if we say we'll open up bookings to other cars from 1st June, is that enough notice??

That should do it :p
Cheque in today's post so i'm on the list.
Have I missed it somewhere? but where exactly is this track, (seen near Grantham) but which side. any spectators allowed, want to bring my daughter along to spectate. (Not running though)
Paul
I'm contemplating doing this, but are normal overalls deffo fine for this? also will there be helmets available to borrow on the day? I've got my old bike crash helmet which is alittle scraped from sliding down the road :blush: but should be ok for this sort of thing but wondered if the marshalls might object to it like that? don't fancy buying a new helmet for something that could be a one off :blush:
Cheers Paul
It's on an RAF base in the middle of nowhere !
Not sure about spectators - someone else can answer that ;)

Normal Clean overalls are fine and aslong as the helmet is not cracked it should be fine (DArin has a limited number available to borrow anyway).

Paul, with this beng a working military base security is quite high so I dont think spectators are allowed in but ill check for you. :) Also no one under the age of 16 is allowed im afraid.
Aren't you coming this year then crypt ?
Would have to move up to class A this time :p
I was just looking at last years timings - I clipped a cone* on my best run so does the time shown include the 2 secs or not ?

I'm coming as im running it along with Matt (our RAF steward for the day) and Weebl if he is about. I just havent payed yet is all, waiting till I get paid.
I'm also running in my own special class 'standardish but quick as ****', its made just for me as my car is NOT modified but is possesed by a tazmainian devil or somethink. Its not 400hp anyway, the rollers were out. :p
Not sure if last years time include the penalty, Weebl would know as he did the times.
Hmm, I'm certainly tempted. Will see what Paul thinks. If we both want to drive do we have to pay twice?
Have the lids but no overalls - where could we get some and how much do they cost?
Wonder if Bex would be up for it - a girly shoot-out :crackup:
Are overalls mandatory for this event :confused:

Hi Carina, the price for double drivers would be £120 for the day. Overalls you can pick up for penuts from Ebay like these (http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/Dickies-Overalls-printed-with-your-logo-or-slogan_W0QQitemZ6622608907QQcategoryZ14028QQrdZ1QQcmdZViewItem).
You need full coverings and overalls fit that bill, we have a few pairs available to borrow but numbers are limited.
Full listing on ebay for overalls roll up roll up cheap as chips so stop yer wining. (http://search.ebay.co.uk/overalls_W0QQfromZR40) :D
There are even some Subaru ones there. :lol:

So long as your arms and legs are covered, I take it that normal clothes are OK (same as for a trackday)?

Full coverings are, overalls are just the job. This is because this sprint is run under MSA rules, the price includes MSA membership for everyone for the day.

I think you are better of with overalls Mick, the steward did PM me over this early last week, As the above post mentions this is an MSA event so everything needs to be spot on. It just saves any hassle.

It's not the height fitting that worries me - it's whether they accommodate lady-bumps :crackup:
Yes - I would expect so, one set is from my navy days and the wren's wear them - the other set is from my current work - and one of the women has a set for when she works on the N Yorks steam trains !!!

Not that quick considering some before @ 74.5s.. but enough for me and the grip i could get, seems the track wasnt giving the best times for some reason as Marky who has been in the 72's couldlnt beat my time....MT didnt seem to be having any trouble though and was in the 72s!

It's too short to do any of that along with 1 lap at a time before a break - you probably did worse yesterday going to Harewood & back :p

Geoff, i was talking about the drive there :crackup:
I am intending to drive round the course at a sedate and mature manner, off boost , natrually. occasionally a light brush of the middle pedal, whilst giving the throttle a tickle at the same time to reduce wear on the gearbox, having enjoyed the scenery and taken in any wildlife on offer to view, i shall proceed on my warming down lap, so as not to damage the properties of my various drivetrain and engine lubricants :)
What complete and utter ****e!!!!!!!!! :crackup:
Thought i better get that in before you at least ;)

hi rob,
Will we have the timing gear rigged up for this one????
Or will it be 1 2 3 go, like last time :D
Would be nice to have proper timing set up, with 60ft times.
See you all soon.

Guys im trying to sort this out atm. Darin hopefully is getting the timing gear to me early next week. However we are short of someone to help out atm and unless we can find someone to help out it looks like I wont get to run as ill have to do the timing. Weebl did it last time but im not sure wether he will get there.
If anyone is bringing someone with them that is willing to time for us it would be very much apreciated. Only involves jotting down times and resetting the clock.
If anyone can help please let me know.
Will help out if i get there in time!!!!

I'm won't be able to drive in this now I'm afraid ... managed to break a finger/snap a tendon in the gym last week, and spirited driving is a little challenging with the splint I have to wear for the next 6 weeks :cry:
I'll still come up with my other half to cheer everybody on (if that's ok Rob), but if anybody wants to take over my space, just drop me a PM
This is tempting Mick...... :D If I am allowed :confused:
Let me chat to the better half as I am only back int eh country for 2 days before flying back to Germany on the Sunday...
OK Logan ... just give Cryptwalk a shout if the boss is in agreement ... he should be able to tell you whether you are allowed MLR-wise!
Be good to see you out on track again :)
Okay, will see if I can join in the fun :coolsm:
If I am allowed, are you Naarfolk lads meeting to drive up there???
Not being a Norfolker, I don't know mate. I'm not privy to the secrets of the carrot crunching handshake :samsmilie :crackup:
I'm sure something could be arranged though. Where will you be starting off from? (assuming you are coming)
Oh, I thought you were from near Lowerstoft boooyeee :confused:
If I am coming, then I am starting off at Saxmundham on the A12
Lowestoft is in Suffolk Logan ;) :D
Just looking at the timings for running up to Barkston ... we would have to leave Lowestoft at around 6.30 so that you can sign in. Now that I'm not driving, think that I might aim at just watching the afternoon sessions.
Maybe you could go through King's Lynn and meet Alan (if he's not stopping over)?

If so I will let you know asap and re-enter if possible ;) .
My place is still definitely for sale though :cry:

simon, the entrance gate will be open from 9am and closes at 10.15am, best to get there for 9ish as you have to unload your car and get it scrutineered by 10.15am.
drivers briefing at 10.15
morning sessions 10.30- 12.30
lunch till 1.30
afternoon sessions 1.30-3.30.
Did you not get your email from rob?

Two questions I couldn't find answers to in the reams of paper sent by Rob ...
1. What's the postcode of the airbase?
2. More importantly ... is there a burger van?
1. What's the postcode of the airbase?
Here (http://streetmap.co.uk/newmap.srf?x=497265&y=342385&z=3&sv=497265,342385&st=4&ar=Y&mapp=newmap.srf&searchp=newsearch.srf)
2. More importantly ... is there a burger van?
Don't think so. There wasn't last year, so best bring a packed lunch.

Brilliant ... cheers Marky. p/c converts to NG32 3PZ, just in case anybody else wants it.
No burger van! thought Crypt would have sorted that one out! (and possibly a beer tent) :D

Dudes, no burger van as they are usually pants. I recomend bringing sandwiches or somethink.
See you all in the morning, bright and early! :cool:
Enjoy yourselves lads :(
This was going to be my first track session since the accident last November - but fate has dictated otherwise and my car is likely to be sold tomorrow.
Hopefully 'll get a replacement over the week-end and be at Croft on Friday :)

Cheers rob,
another cracking day, just a bit to hot, what with overalls on all day.
Had a problem with my car today, thought it was the clutch slipping in second and third, but coming home i noticed it was running low boost 0.6 bar.
Boost controller is not reconising any boost???
WHY didnt i notice :confused:

It may off been a lose boost hose :D
Either way its got to be cheaper than a clutch
Thanks for the petrol M8
Top day out. We worth the 300 mile round trip and sun burn.
Well done to Crypt and Ginga.

Great day Rob & the RAF Lads :) :)
Bad luck with that wheel Rob
I dont know what every one else thought but for my car once it had boost after the first chicaine it was 50% throttle steering
Glad there wasnt Armeco on the last tight bend ;)
Lower boost hose blew off at Melton Mobrey so had to drive home sedatley
Looking for some better clamps on Monday, Bloodey cheap Jubiley clips
Good news is those cone marks came off with some white spirit.
Roll on Croft

What a superb day, well done Rob etc :coolsm:
Nice to meet you all today, big thanks to Neverneverman for the passenger ride was crazy drifting everywhere, thats some awesome machine you have there and you made it look so easy to drive :coolsm:
Track was great, alittle slippery but that just added to the fun. Considering the track isn't very wide its amazing how mad you could go.
Must remember some sun block for next time though as I'm more than alittle burnt right now, much to the mrs's amusement :rolleyes:

Knox, I think the track was too hot today as for me there was little grip on the front, the car understeered all day quite severly. Quickest time today was 51.54 set by myself.
If we get to run at this event again can all please make sure the gate is shut behind you when leaving, we got shouted at of the Milatary police and they wouldnt let us out that gate after someone left it open.
Cheers dudes.

Nige, proper timing gear like that is very very expensive. :eek:
I brought 150mtrs of cable and thought that would be enough as I couldnt recall exactly how long the run was, turned out its about 300Mtrs. :blah:
Nevertheless the timing was done very well by the marshalls, your reactions off the line counted for a few 10ths of a second.
Big up to MAtt and all the RAF boys for a great day run excellent despite being men down.

Just wondered if was possible to get a sender unit + a receiver to add to the existing gear from someware like maplins, I dont know how the timing gear works, is it analoge or digital?
With all the techies on here I bet some one has something in a box in thier garage that could be blaged free of charge.
Not a moan, this was the best track I have been on, great Fun

Allright sailor were does that come from then?
Thanks to you all for turning up and being well behaved all day. only had to mention windows and the abuse of my grass to a few of you (Rob you could have done some muck spreading for the farmer)
just so you know I was the only RAF guy there (Crab Fat!! bite my shiney metal A**).
Hope to see you there again next year. With a little more manpower to help. Trying to do 4 things at once is not good.
If any of you want to take part in the RAF sprint on the sunday you will be more than welcome. That way you can make a weekend of it.
And yes I was also sunburnt. It was a little painfull climbing into the car on sunday for our sprint.
