Sprint/Drift day at Lydd Raceway 28th April

[SteveCarter200]

Ive arranged a sprint/drift day at Lydd raceway for you lovely sxoc members. Some of you will know the track from the Autoglym Drift Championship round last year.

http://www.lyddinternationalraceway.com/

It’s a small technical track so its all 2nd gear, maybe 3rd so might not be suitable for the more experienced track day heroes but its still a hell of a lot of fun.

The day is for 15 cars to ensure plenty of track time for everyone. There may be spaces for an extra few cars but that’s at my discretion.

Times: Friday 28th April. 10am – 4pm.

Costs: £75 per car with an additional £10 per extra driver. There is a £20 per car tyre wall insurance in place to cover Lydds time to rebuild the wall if you destroy them, this is refundable at the end of the day. Only offending drivers will lose their £20.
If spaces have to be filled by non-members a £15 premium will be charged.

A deposit of £20 (cheque or cash) for each car will be required by the end of this month, made out to HERONS PARK LLP and sent to myself at:



The balance is to be paid two weeks before the date to enable me to pay Lydd a week in advance. Alternatively send me 2 cheques at the same time, one for the deposit, one for the balance.


Format: Ideally aim to arrive at the track at 9am to give yourself enough time to sort out your cars and have a cup of tea and a chit chat.
Cars will be run one at a time to minimise risk for two laps (hopefully, time dependant) of the chosen circuit (probably the left hand part of the track in this piccy) and then the car will rejoin the queue.

http://www.lyddinternationalraceway.com/lir/images2/track.jpg

The cafe will be open for a 45 minute lunch break at approx 12.00.

Late afternoon I would like to run a couple of timed laps for everyone with a bottle of wine for the fastest.

The bar will be open afterwards.


Rules:

Even though this is a drift/sprint day I strongly advise that if you aren’t competent at drifting then you don’t, stick to sprinting. You will end up damaging your car and lose your £20 tyre wall deposit, not to mention possibly ruining the day for everyone by wasting time and potentially getting us kicked off as I’ve promised the owners that we are all sensible and wont drive like idiots.

No burnouts. If you do you’ll be kicked off the track.

Stay off the grass. If you do go off onto the grass dont wheelspin off of it.

If your car leaks fluids like a sieve then sort it out before hand. The track hosts international karting championships so they wont appreciate their track being ruined by oil.

If you are drifting don’t run the tyres down to the metal for the same reasons as above.

Helmets and a race suit will be required. If you don’t have your own then Lydd can hire them to you for £5.

Don’t be a dick. It’s a fun day but remember that even though it’s a relatively slow track its still dangerous. I don’t want to see anyone bending their cars.

Think that covers everything.


Ive atached a few pics from a previous drift day there to give you an idea of size.


Finally, we need a couple of marshals to help out on the day. Any volunteers? You’ll be getting the best view of the track.

Please list your name below if you are up for this

Cheers

Yeah baby!

I fookin love this place! :D

[TVR Rob]

What regs do helmets have to comply to? I've got a bike helmet that's OK for track days but I'm pretty sure it doesn't comply to race standards

[SteveDunn]

As long as your noggins covered it should be fine, mine's a motorbike helmet and has served me well :)

This is going to be hardcore. Seriously contemplating heading up to Newcastle after drifting at Lydd :eek:

[Matt_S]

Fookin hell. That'll be a six hour drive at LEAST!

[ise438]

Steve,

This is the one you were telling me about last Saturday isn't...

I might be up for this, but I never driven on a track at all...:D

Would it be ok for a total newbie - that you would have to babysit lol ?

If you guys reckon it will be safe to let me out on the track then stick my name down :nod:

Is there any restriction on the exhaust noise ?

Ian

[twinturboch]

I'll be there :) :thumbs: I'll check my balance but assuming all is good I'll get a cheque out to you on Saturday so should get to you monday :)

No exhaust noise restrictions.:)

This track is fine for newbs. TBH, if you cant drive it safely you shouldnt even be on the road.:D Just dont go balls out on your first lap, take it easy to start with and build up your speed. Perfect for trying out your new brakes as well.:nod:;)

[SteveCarter200]

I'll be there :) :thumbs: I'll check my balance but assuming all is good I'll get a cheque out to you on Saturday so should get to you monday :)

Nice one James.:thumbs:

[Jason]

ah haaaaa!! im there fo sho baby, ill post you a cheque :thumbs:
or even better ill drop the money off to you in exchange for you helping fir my oil relocator :D

Jenks if my funds allow ill be making the same trek i think

[SteveDunn]

Soarer now has added sat-nav goodness, so our using the force to get to venues is no longer required :D

[twinturboch]

Should also have said, cheers to Steve for organising this. :thumbs: Most of us in the South East have no-where legal to have fun. Nice to see someone making an effort to get us some circuit time. I for one will be buying the man a drink at the bar afterwards :)

[Jason]

what time does the bar open?? :wack:

i keep forgetting that your from near these parts james, this will be an excellent day... when i was there last year i was using brens car, so i can wait to have a go with a car that im familiar to :)

Bar opens at about 3pm from memory (I do a lot of Karting down at Lydd in the Rotax) Yeah, I'm only up in Bromley, just my car is never working or here so it makes dori-meets a tad difficult. I still haven't been out with the East London crew. Lydd rocks, although I must say I'm a bit more worried than I used to be as the skyline takes a lot longer to stop when you get it wrong :wack:

[Nicely]

I'll be the only one doing sprints then... :p

[SteveDunn]

Dude, Steve's already told you off once for not reading the thread :wack:

[Jason]

[KevJ]

[Matt_S]

Good, cos if its damp you end up in the tyre wall like I did the first time I was there :)

[SteveCarter200]

Good, cos if its damp you end up in the tyre wall like I did the first time I was there :)

Haha, damp? We were standing in torrential rain, a tad more than damp.:D

[Jim]

Im in mate if there is still space?

Would be good 2 be able 2 do this as im new 2 drifting and could do with some pointers.

I will send the check on Monday, as thats when i get paid.

Cheers Stu

[FullMetalGasket]

Right I'm showing my interest in this :D
Now I'm going to check how far away it is :wack:

- note to self, need new drifty tyres :smash:

Feck me it's a long way away! :wack:
Anyone up for providing accomodation? :Plug:
Or should I be asking them about the camping on site?

There are still spaces available but if a club member wants to attend then they will get priority.

Take note though, this isnt really a place to learn drifting. There isnt much run off and TBH its just going to piss people off if you spin at every corner as obviously its going to cut into everyone elses track time, not to mention potentially damaging your car. Please read this bit of the rules of the day...

Even though this is a drift/sprint day I strongly advise that if you aren’t competent at drifting then you don’t, stick to sprinting. You will end up damaging your car and lose your £20 tyre wall deposit, not to mention possibly ruining the day for everyone by wasting time and potentially getting us kicked off as I’ve promised the owners that we are all sensible and wont drive like idiots.

[STU13 B]

Fair enought!!

[FullMetalGasket]

As long as I avoid the extreme parking I don't care! :D

[Nicely]

Yeah, you don't want to go over the edge there! :eek:

[twinturboch]

Right, well I will DEFINATELY be there having seen how much they are charging for the driftuk day at lydd the week before. :wack: Good on the SXOC:)

[SteveCarter200]

Fair enought!!

Oh, by the way, you'll still have to send me the deposit cheque but obviously that will be refunded if you get bumped by a club member. Ta.:)

[FullMetalGasket]

I've just spotted the photo's (slow bugger I know:whip: )
Looks like there are some seriously big banks for me to reverse up :nod:

Think I'll be joining Nicely in sprinting though - that's got to be the best part of 200 miles from home so I don't want to risk bending the car arsing about with sideways shinanigans :)

Can you order in some weather like in the pics though please Steve? :Plug:

Yep - No drifting for me just sprinting and having fun :thumbs:

[AlexF]

Cheque posted :)

Shopping list:
- 1x working car
- 1x welded diff
- 1x set of better suspension

If I only get the first I'll be OK, but I really need the second as well! The third would be nice too.

James, any chance of getting your buddy to hook me up with a couple of sets of those decent tyres either beforehand or on the day?

See you all there :)

[sliver]

I would be interested in a chance to try a track day, is this an environment that would suit a complete beginner?

Looking at the track, speeds would be low and it offers a lot of practice? But not a lot of room to get out of other peoples way.

If the track is not suitable then is it possible to attend as a spectator? Happy to volunteer as a marshal if thats a suitable role for a complete track newbie.

Yes, I'd say its ideal for a beginner. Cars will be run one at a time so there wont be any cars to avoid and therefore nothing to hit unless you go off track.

[SteveCarter200]

Ive been talking to a pro photographer that has had drift photos published in various magazines and hes very likely to come along for the day so there should be some high quality pics for you to drool over.:)


Anyone that wants to pop along to spectate and video is more than welcome.

[Matt_S]

Steve, will passengers be allowed if they have a hemet and suit on?

[SteveCarter200]

Dont know, I'll ask.

[SteveCarter200]

Two more people needed, please.:)

[SteveCarter200]

Steve, will passengers be allowed if they have a hemet and suit on?

Yep, no problem, passengers allowed.:)

Who I twin drift will depend greatly on peoples consistency, I won't be even slightly risking my car. :)

Are we talking proper karting suits or the dirty boiler suits you normally end up wearing for arrive and drive style things :wack: :confused:
If the latter then the cleanest of my boiler suits should do I imagine?

[KevJ]

More about the race suits, If I want to hire one for a £5 do I have to let you/them know before the day? :confused:

[SteveCarter200]

I think its the fireproof element thats important. If your boiler suit is fireproof then it will be fine.


Kev, theyve got loads of them there, no need to pre-book.

What time does it start?? ......................... :p

Escellent first post Steve - all of the information anyone could need on there :notworthy ;)

Id be interested definitely, but am unsure of how risky it would be for me to attempt drifting on it - how wide is the track?? As wide as a two lane road, for instance?? :confused:

Up for it though, definitely. :)

As long as you have a basic idea of car control it is very easy to keep it on the black stuff. It's only when you start to go balls out that you start to risk hitting a barrier. :) You shouldn't be put off by the worry of crashing, as long as you are within your limits you will be fine. :)

The S12 is very slowly getting de-specced over time. First thing to go will be the LSD this weekend:(
Why you de-speccing the car? :(

[SteveCarter200]

Sound. Can I T/F the money to you with that other lot then?? :confused:

Yup.

[30PSI]

Why you de-speccing the car? :(
I'm transferring the engine/box/rear end/coilovers into this:
http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v210/30psi/DSCN9430s.jpg

The S12 is a daily driver so I need to build the Datsun 910 into a position where I can transfer the engine and get it running in one day. Before I transfer the engine it will be mapped running about 1.4 bar. The standard diff in the Datsun is too small and won't take the power. Hence my reason for getting everything else ready before moving the engine over.

Sweet:notworthy :notworthy :notworthy

[Baba]

Cant wait for this :D
Finally a chance to drift on a real track instead of a maze of cones like at Silverstone :ghey:

[SteveCarter200]

Youre gonna love it, just take it easy to start with, its not a forgiving as cones.

[FullMetalGasket]

If your boiler suit is fireproof then it will be fine.

The suit may well be fireproof :nod:
Sadly it's totally impregnated in numerous brands of engine oil/gearbox oil/Brake fluid ect which will leave me somewhat flamable :wack:
Guess I'll be hireing on the day then.....

[Baba]

I hope it doesnt rain. Its gonna ruin the fun :( but on the other hand might be able to get through the day with 1 set of tyres lol :D (I know :wack: that sounds :ghey: )

[twinturboch]

Its quite slippy there when its wet.
Understatement of the year LOL :D 2-stroke karts laying down layers of burnt oil and then a sprinkling of rain. Ice drift anyone? :wack:

Hi Steve ,
Looks like its going to be a full day then .Camping, Bar & bar food will be available on Fri pm & if anyone is coming down to camp over Thurs pm let me know and I may be able to get bar open,probably me as barman, but it will be kebabs & pizzas from local kebabby for food.
PS if you guys are anything like the minimoto blokes they dont do food they just do Vodka Redbulls.

Phil @ lydd:Plug:

Just 1 request ....I ve spent the last 3 years trying out other forms of sport at Lydd , We now do Karting , Supermoto,Minimoto,Drifting ,Rc cars etc, 4x4,Mud buggies and soon to have paintball so could you call us a raceway not a kart track pleeeeeeeeeeease.:rolleyes: :rolleyes: :rolleyes:

I really hope it doesnt rain... Its like an ice rink and the drainage is not soo good either :wack:. Last time I was there in the rain I stuffed it into a tyre wall and ripped the front bumper off :wack:. :smash:

[AlexF]

It looks set to be a great day! If there's going to be a BBQ we need to get Brother Raj to sort us out some chicken pittas again :thumbs:

[Mr Bizzle]

Who's camping then?

[Jason]

Sleep over round Jasons then:thumbs:

[FullMetalGasket]

Who's camping then?
I live 200 miles from there so it's fairly safe to guess I will be :wack:
just have to decide wether I'm getting up stupidly early on Fri, or travelling down on thursday afternoon now....

[Baba]

Hey, hi Phil, good to see you on here.:thumbs:

Hey Phil :wave:
Yup deffo more business :nod: This is what we have been waiting for for aaages. Oh BTW one of my mates could become another regular customer only problem is he doesnt own a 200sx. Is he still allowed to come? He has a BMW 325i.
Thanks

[SteveCarter200]

Mr Hudson, got your cheque.:thumbs:



Baba, if its an sxoc organised event then no but if Lydd put on their own drift days.....

[twinturboch]

Mr Hudson, got your cheque.:thumbs:
FINALLY:notworthy I'd almost given up hope of the Royal Mail actually being able to perform the task they were expressly created to do. LOL

[docwra]

T/F'd money to Mr Carter last night - Im on :D

How many laps will it take before I understeer into the tyres ........... place your best :D

Silvia should have a new turbo by then as well. Great. More power = more speed = bigger splash when I go in the water :wack:

[phil@lydd]

Kart track? Who mentioned kart track?;):D:p


Thanks for that.:thumbs: :thumbs: :thumbs:

How many defos have you got at the moment ?:D :D :D

[SteveCarter200]

Thanks for that.:thumbs: :thumbs: :thumbs:

How many defos have you got at the moment ?:D :D :D

philGot 17 on the list, still waiting for 3 more deposits, 2 of which are on their way to me by bank transfer.

Think that will do now, any more and it might spoil the day. If it works out that more can be handled I'll increase numbers a bit next time.

[sliver]

Steve, I will not be able to make this, sorry for not getting back earlier.

[Baba]

15 is the magic number steve :nod: if it gets too crowded then it will lose its charm.
Unless its a lot cheaper with more people then it might work.

[SteveCarter200]

Lets just see how this one goes eh Baba?

[Baba]

Oh Yes!!!! :D Why is it taking so long tho? :smitten:

[SteveCarter200]

Something to do with the Theory of Relativity I think, youre probably better off asking Stephen Hawkin.:D

[Mr Bizzle]

Steve,
When you over doing my electrics, do you think you could have a bash at turning the cefiro into a time machine? I was thinking Ala, back to the future. But with a cefiro instead of a delorian...

Then we can get to drift days really really really quickly!

[SteveCarter200]

Just waiting for the deposit from STU13B. By the end of the week please matey.

[FullMetalGasket]

So who out of you lot (if anyone) is camping on the Thursday night?
Due to distance (over a 3 hour drive apparently:eek: ) I'll probably be there both nights, was wondering how much company I'll have :wack:

[Baba]

Not me im afraid. I only live an hour away from the track.

[AlexF]

No idea yet, I'm still trying to fix my ****** car :annoyed:

[Nicely]

I'll probably be there both nights, was wondering how much company I'll have :wack:
A couple of 'roaches and a slug? :p

[AlexF]

Heh :)

Last time a few of us (5 or 6) were going to camp, but Phil was kind enough to leave the bar open so after we'd drunk our fill we all slept indoors. Good thing too, since it was bloody cold outside, wasn't it Matt? ;)

[SteveDunn]

Sorry Tim - I'd put you up but Chez-Steve is currently full :(

[SteveCarter200]

Sorry Tim - I'd put you up but Chez-Steve is currently full :(

I trust one of the occupants is me?:)

That's OK Steve :) Was just hoping I wouldn't be on me tod! :wack:
As long as I get some fresh duct-tape my tent's all I need :smash:

Brrrrrrrrrr, I get the shivvers remembering it...

IIRC it was a September date. I 'worked' until 11:30pm(ish). I arrived at Lydd circa 1:45 - 2:00am (couldnt see a damn thing it was raining so hard...
I think I got about 2 hours sleep I was sooooooo cold.:wack:

[KevJ]

Sooo looking forward to this, proper drifting, proper track! :thumbs:

And probably proper drift scars for me! :wack:

[Baba]

Guishnu are you deffo coming? Coz I am depending on you mate... Literally :wack:

[30PSI]

Why are you depending on Guishnu to go?

[Baba]

Coz he is paying for my drift day :wack:

[twinturboch]

Coz he is paying for my drift day :wack:
Oh dear!!! I was kind of hoping he wouldn't be :rolleyes:

See the Car clinic thread, I won't start again here.

[AlexF]

Are there going to be tyre changing facilities there? If not, where are the closest? :)

(PS Anyone got any 17" wheels for an s13 they want rid of?) :Plug:

[SteveCarter200]

(PS Anyone got any 17" wheels for an s13 they want rid of?) :Plug:

Afraid there wont be any tyre changing gear there but the track is very smooth so you shouldnt get through too many tyres. I reckon 3 pairs is plenty.

[30PSI]

I've got 2 spare 17" Kahn RSR's.

Do you just want them on the front for more grip? Or as purely more 17's for the rear?

[AlexF]

Either/both ... I've only got shite steelies with Nankangs which were total crap on the front last time I drifted, had to switch to decent wheels/tyres on the front.

I have tyres to go on them, although I'm also on the lookout for another decent pair of 17's. James if you can get hold of any of those decent part-worn's they'd be perfect :)

[twinturboch]

Well I'll be bringing at least two sets of S14 rims and two sets of 18's.

I will have a spare set or maybe two of S14 rims, so if anyone watns to bnorrow them the week before, get tyres fitted and then use them and return them after the day, let me know :)

[SteveCarter200]

Ive also got some spare S13 fitment 7x15s with tyres on that anyone is welcome to borrow but they would have to be collected from me before hand and the tyres replaced afterwards (or bung me some cash) and returned back to me as I wont have room to bring them down on the day.

[phil@lydd]

Hi ,there are 2 tyre changing garages less than 5 mins away from track.:) I will get a cost off them next week.

- Fit newly acquired suspension

I think that's do-able.

Best of luck with that Matt! I'd offer you a hand if you lived a bit closer :)

I work sloooowly, probably something to do with the fact that I sit in front of a computer every day and have very little mechanical skill :wack:

[Matt_S]

LOL, I had a list of things to do to make it DRIVEABLE, i.e. not an exhaustive list. It WAS 1.5 pages of A4. I have managed to get it down to a single page now. :wack: and will crack on with the list all weekend. Im just off there now... ;)

But having to help my mate put his engine and box back in his car (Its not as easy as a 200sx tho :wack: ) is gonna hold me up :(

Come on people, sort it out. Final payments required like NOW.

[Baba]

Steve you should have recieved my payment from Guishy by now?
Also if I use brand new tyres with 10mm tread how long will they last? Can I do the whole day on them? They are hard compound.

Yep, got your payment, check the first post.;) Havent had a payment from Guishnu for his own spot though.

10mm tread? Thats more than a new tyre.:confused: Youve a good chance of doing the whole day on them if they are new. I might be able to squeeze some 15s for you into my car if you havent got any other spares.

[garys13]

when dose this need to be paid and wot do we need to attend?

[garys13]

baba ask reeper32 on d.w for cheap rad he has 2 spare

Ahh, the joys of organising events - great fun isn't it :wack: :D

[Baba]

Steve you are a star!!! I will bring whatever tyres I can find but if you do find any spare 15"s it will be a great help!!! As for the 10 mm tread it was a guestimate :wack: but the tread looks massive. they are 195/50/15's so a bit low profile too. BTW we are blessed by your presence on our forum :D

Cheers Gary I will ask reeper32.

Balance now transferred:thumbs:

If anyone knows someone who is wanting a space at Lydd, mine may be up if I go to round 2 up at Teeside. I don't think Mrs Mitch would be too chuffed with me leaving on a Friday morning to go drifting and returning Sunday morning, let alone the costs involved:eek:
