Summer Performance Car Action Day
UPDATE: - Just found this neat little video on Castle Combes YouTube Channel
<object width="640" height="385"><param name="movie" value="http://www.youtube.com/v/HwOxUfAWHtk?fs=1&hl=en_GB"></param><param name="allowFullScreen" value="true"></param><param name="allowscriptaccess" value="always"></param><embed src="http://www.youtube.com/v/HwOxUfAWHtk?fs=1&hl=en_GB" type="application/x-shockwave-flash" allowscriptaccess="always" allowfullscreen="true" width="640" height="385"></embed></object>
UPDATE: Now with added driftness!!! - Get your names down to reserve a possible 'drift' track session. See post #36 (http://www.sxoc.com/vbb/showpost.php?p=5449940&postcount=36) for details
UPDATE: Now with added photography!!! - We now have a trackside photographer!!! Some people may have met Tom at last Saturdays West Country meet. He has very kindly offered his photography services for this event and I have managed to get him a press/photographers pass. So hopefully he should be able to get some good shots of any 200's from the trackside areas that are normally exclusively for photographers.
Hopefully this could produce some good West Country pics for the SXOC 2011 calendar

Saturday 11th September 2010
Last year I think we had about 14 cars on the stand and quite a few 200's out on track. The 'Spring' Action Day earlier this year is summarised in an article in this quarters SXOC newsletter. Check it out! - http://www.sxoc.com/vbb/showthread.php?t=465383
Last years Performance Car Action Day can be found here (http://www.sxoc.com/vbb/showthread.php?t=391296), pic's here (http://www.sxoc.com/vbb/showthread.php?t=391296&page=10)
The cost for the first 6 stand spaces for the club is quite reasonable, after 6 the cost goes up and I always need to be carefull that I'm not out of pocket if someone drops out.
So, I'm going to try and use some of the SXOC budget to subsidise it so I can try and revise the cost for this event.
Unfortunately this clashes with JAE, hence I have kept this as a West Country event rather than a National Event. But it does mean West Country members get first dips on the first 6 stand spaces.
Cost
First 6 Stand spaces (inc entrance) - Free.
Stand spaces thereafter (inc entrance) £10*
Track passes £30*
Ideally we would want smart or inspiring looking cars on the stand, or cars with track passes.
Stand spaces will probably be limited to 12max but ultimately will depend on how many I can get from Castle Combe.
* - Note: Only when payment has been received will your space be confirmed. All spaces will need to be confirmed and paid for by 1st September. After such time reserved spaces will be superseeded by anyone wanting to go who can provide payment.
For the first 6 'free' spaces, you can confirm your reservation by purchasing and paying for a track slot.;)
Payment details:
Paypal: events@sxoc.com
Remember to include: Your name, Your board name, and the Event name in the subject heading.
Bank transfer:
Bank transfer will allow you to make payments straight from your bank account to SXOC. I.e Internet banking, Phone banking or even stopping in at your local branch.
Payments should be made to: Nissan 200sx Owners Club
Account Holding Branch: Barclays, Colchester, High Street Branch
Account Number: 20268585
Sort Code: 20-22-69

I know:rolleyes:, which is why I've delayed putting it up, plus I've only advertised it as a local event rather than a national one this time.
Steve and Jon:thumbs::thumbs:, first post updated.:thumbs:
since my 200 is now officially off the road for project race prep, I won't be on the stand or taking part in the track time :( However, if the weather's nice I might pop along and say hi :wave:
Rick take the liner up there :D
Could do, thinking of selling it though :( in standard form it just isn't good enough and I don't want to start spending money on it because I need the spare cash for the 14 :whip:
Any idea what times the track slots will be? :)
Steve am i allowed a stand pass (driving an rx7 n all) im doing the open drift session there
I would still do it as a national.
Plenty of people dont like the whole camping thing or static shows like JAE:)

Added to the reserve list. Stand and entrance are free. £30 owed for the track pass. Did you want me to request a new to track session?
i will take space 5 if u like?
Davus200 beat you to it! Plus the first 6 free stand spaces were for members only. I'll put you on the list with 200SXS13, you will however need to pay £10 for the entrance and stand space.
If you want any track passes, let me know. They are £30 for each.
Payment details are on the first post of this thread:thumbs:

One big stand. The offer for the first 6 spaces, which were free were only being offered to members. I think it explains it all in the first post.
Though it doesn't actually state whether the stand is 'exclusively' for members. I had put 200SXS13 on the bottom of the list and explained by PM that paid up members would take priority. He was a member, I believe his membership has just expired, he just hasn't renewed it yet.
db limit is 100db at 4500 revs, measured from 1m and at 45degrees from the exhaust pipe.:thumbs:

As everyone knows, you cannot drift in any of the SXOC track sessions. I asked Combe today whether they had any exclusive drift sessions for those wanting to drift.
Currently they will have a drift demonstration/display at lunch time. But have said if enough people are interest in having an open exclusive 'drift' track session they 'may' be able to arrange it.
So is anyone interested in taking part in a drift session at this Summers Performance Car Action Day?
I would stress that there will be an awful lot of people watching you. - All waiting with camera phones to upload the footage to youtube if you get it wrong.:nod::cry:
The pressure will be on so I would strongly recommend you do not treat it as a chance to 'suck it and see' if you can drift, only to find out you suck at it. I would only really recommend it for those who have drifted Combe before or other experienced drifters.
As yet I do not know what time such a session will be scheduled for. Track sessions will be £30 for approx 15mins session. (Entrance ticket will be required, see first post for details) And noise will be 100bd at 4500rpm measured at 45degs and 50cm from your exhaust.
Anyone interested? (Members only).
Drift Session:
1.
No Ta :) should be a good laugh to watch though.
if they do an open drift session it is normally about 3 o clock. I would like to encourage people to do this to keep drifting at combe. its a harsh circuit to get wrong on the fast corners but the chicanes are safe, fun drifitng. spinning and crashing is part of drifting so take it in your stride, people will judge but who cares! just drift what you want to do, but ONLY in the desinated sessions!
Ill be there doing the lunch time drifting in my freshly rebuilt and modified car all going well :D

Did you modify it with the use of another car or wall?

We now have a trackside photographer!!!
Some people may have met Tom at last Saturdays West Country meet. He has very kindly offered his photography services for this event and I have managed to get him a press/photographers pass.
Hopefully he should be able to get some good shots of any 200's from the trackside areas that are normally exclusively for photographers only. In addition to some quality pics of the SXOC stand cars.
This could produce some good West Country pics for the SXOC 2011 calendar submissions.:thumbs:
Hi guys :wave:
I thought I would introduce myself, I am the photographer that Bristol Blue is talking about in the first post. I will be coming along to Combe (and hopefully some future events) to get some shots of you guys on (and off) the track.
Here are a few examples of my work below, you may recognise a few of the cars!
If anyone has any preferences of the kind of shots they would like to see (panning/frozen etc), and if there is a specific corner you would like me to stay on please let me know!

Sweeeet:thumbs::thumbs:
cjquicksilver... Same price. Not sure about the car limit. I'm sure they will keep it minimal. There is no way they would let out as many as they would in a regular public track session.
Going to give it a try?:D

Ye il give it a go lol car read 104db at the meet but hopfuly 4db of that wud be ecco from the carpark? Is it still same regs as normal track?
their not sure if their running the open drift session, there never is many drift cars out there and no one pressures you to do anything you dont want to...
but combe are very very strict on sound testing, tims s14a was turnt away with his nur spec r for 2db over

I'm surprised it was that low. Normally taking a reading there is well over 100 for most people.
The one sure way to find out is take a quite trip up to Combe. Just go on a day when they have something on and are sound testing. (They will let you do this, others on here have done the same). Probably best to give them a call and see when they next have someone out doing the sound tests.

I spoke with Maria yesterday and asked for an SXOC drift session. It was agreed assuming numbers were there to make it worth doing. 9Though she didn't say whay number would be ideal. I just said I would find out how many would be interested.

Passengers should be allowed. They will need to wear a helmet and pay 5quid insurance. They might also have to attend a passenger briefing. Not sure, but it'll be the same as a regular session passenger.
there ist tyre facilities so bring another set to change into...
i will say now drifting combe isnt for the faint hearted most of the corners are big 3rd gears ones with little run off, but so long as u dont go mental you'll love it
i was shitting a brick the first time i drifted it but once i came off i just wanted to do it again and again and again!!!

May be interesting. I have currently said SXOC members only, though quite a few on DriftWorks are on here anyway. You must state that it's not guarenteed so if people do put their names down it may not necessarily go ahead.
Combe seemed happy enough for it to go ahead. It was all down to whether or not enough people were interested to make it worth their while fitting the session into the schedule.
Drift track session list updated!:thumbs::D
Ooo, do I need to put my name down/pre-order an entrance/parking ticket?
for the moment it maybe better just putting something up in the members section trying to keep it as 200 as possible... (not that im running a 200 lol)

TRACK TIME! - Anyone listed for track time, can they let me know what time they would prefer to go out. If you specifically want a 'new to track' pass, please also let me know.
I sent all the forms in to Combe today. Any late additions wanting a stand space or track pass, I will need to check with Combe whether anything else is available first.
I'll also be away for a week, back a few days before the event so won't be able to respond to this thread during that time. (I'm around until the 26th Aug I think)
I'm not fussed now Steve, will go with the majority:)

If a passenger comes with me on track do they pay on the day? And also is this the same for anyone wanting to come up for the day or do they need to get tickets in advance?
Lapsang? WTF, Did you mean LapDANCE?
:no: Lapsang Souchong - Chinese Smoky Tea my dear :thumbs:
(btw, where I'm from, lapdance's are a night time thang! lol ;) )

CH1EF & Cr33ch, Steve suggested I contacted you with regards to the drift session at Combe.
Do you know if there are any further developments, as I'll deffo be up for an open drift session and have a mate who is interested too :)
Dan :thumbs:
Hey,
The last I was told there is going to be no open drift sessions unless there is more interest in them. Ring up the combe office and ask, Maria is the person who is normally dealing with this.
if i get time tomorrow ill give combe a ring see what they say...
Steve do i need to do anything if i still want entrance and stand?
UPDATE... there will be an open session at 3:15 if you are interested in doing it best to contact combe and book a place. the guys doing the demo at lunch may be able to get passes on the day if it is not fully booked
Basicly phone up and book for the 3:15 open drift slot :thumbs:

Sooooo tempting
so long as your not a beginner drifter id 100% recommend it! most of it is serious high speed entries 3rd/4th gear stuff, you'll kill a good set of tyre in a session easily

UPDATE: I'm back!!!! & Tickets went out this morning.
Hopefully you'll have them tomorrow, failing that they should easily arrive Friday.
(Except Cr33ch, 200sxs13 and Conrad - All of whom have arranged collection).
:thumbs:
I'll update the thread later with the track times and stand location.
Babe, can I ponce a stand spot if there's one going - Dan@ DB-Power failed on dates/timings for another gig, so can I have that.....unless anyone else is in the queue first?...car may well not be clean for it though (and no, I'm NOT referring to Tink....!)
Will my ticket allow me this? or do I need to sort a better one?

Hi Babes:wave:
Is that the DBPower S13 (Matt black), that your on about?
Either way, yes! I have a stand and entrance ticket left. However if Dan is now on for the drift session at 1515h, he will need to speak with Combe to book it.
According to Cr33ch, there are plenty of spaces left for that open drift session but because it's close to the day now, they can't post out the tickets, they'll have to be collected from the Strawford Centre on the day.

I do!
But not a photo. I was out on track at the same time as you.
I caught your huge flame just as you were going up Avonrise towards quarry. Though having said that I haven't checked the footage fully. It did run out before the end of the session so may be cut short.
I'll try and upload it tonight.
Is it true that Steve waxs his balls before track days as it shaves seconds on his lap times?

Found the footage, there's an even bigger flame just after your exit quary I hadn't noticed at the time. However there is no way I'll get the footage uploaded tonight. And may even struggle tomorrow. Sorry, I'll try and get it done by the weekend though.:thumbs:

I think actually Jon was saying, 'Yeah it's true' in reference to shaving seconds off lap times. &Not anything that might be perved over in any loo's!:rolleyes:
