Haynes Motor Museum are holding open days throughout the month of August.
They have been mightily impressed with the way the members of the register comport themselves during our sprints there, and also impressed with the way we throw our cars around the track
They have asked if we can have a few cars in attendance, every wednesday through August. Max number of cars will be 4 but 2 will be enough.
The dates will be:
3rd
10th
17th
24th
Not sure about the 31st yet.
What they want is a few cars to show on static display, with a time slot on the track where we are to drive around and generally put on a good show. No timing will be carried out, the objective is to look good, not go fast
Obviously there is no charge for this and it would be nice if the MLR can show it's appreciation to Haynes by putting a little back. After all, the days there are universally enjoyed and extremely cheap.
I can attend the first day, the 3rd.
Please let me know if any of you would like to participate
Dave, if you can get the day clear it is well worth it
spn, Excellent. Can you let me know if you are happy to do the Pax laps or just go and park up and do a few demo runs (if you do the pax laps you will probably not be driving home on the tyres you run with)
Unevobloke is running on the 17th.
Dave, they were hooning laps, not quick, but more to give a bit of a spectacle, some of my lines were bloody awful for speed but the car was wagging around like a loon, passengers seemed to like it but i doubt the lap record is in jeopardy The guys in the 2 Atoms seemed impressed though? One of them seemed quite suprised at the pace an Evo got round there in
Roger, I will be in touch Tommorow re your Toyota, I had a chat with the guy that runs the place and he seemed up for you going anyway
Marky, i can put you in for the 17th no probs Do you want to do Pax laps or just display?
It was one thing i made sure I was clear on before we got started.
Basically they count us as Haynes employees for the day, and all the punters have to sign a similar disclaimer to the one we sign when we sprint there. Public liability is dealt with by them. If you stack it, it is still down to you, but to be honest running passengers i was only driving 9/10'ths and it was quite easy to make it look lairy without going that fast.
If you get stuck for dates after and including the 24th for this drop me a line, not an Evo and I've not done Haynes before so probably better for me as a demo. Let me know if I can help out
Colin
