captain chaos Posted June 30, 2002 Share Posted June 30, 2002 I couldn't make the club day but I will be there at the end of the month with Slipstream... Anyone else committed yet? I know it's a bit early but nonetheless I'd like to see who is going so far. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

captain chaos Posted June 30, 2002 Author Share Posted June 30, 2002 Great stuff. Any more out there? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
David Ward Posted June 30, 2002 Share Posted June 30, 2002 Look forward to seeing you again CC - it's been a while... As Jerry said 3 of us will be ambling up to lose our Oulton car virginity (done it on the bikes!). Anyone recommend some hotels for the night before? We've got to get the cars through Wheeltorque's Spa outing first and judging from Richards posting about the Ring we'll need our wits about us to avoid German car debris!!

captain chaos Posted June 30, 2002 Author Share Posted June 30, 2002 David, There's a thread, not more than a week old regarding accomodation around Oulton. I saw your car at Curboro', undoubtedly the cleanest and best kept there. IMHO.thumbsup.gif See you soon.

David Ward Posted July 1, 2002 Share Posted July 1, 2002 Thanks for the comments CC. Having looked at the other thread Ive decided the Swifts must know what they're talking about so I've booked us in to the Blue Cap - take note Jerry and Bill!

jerrypike Posted July 1, 2002 Share Posted July 1, 2002 david thank you for organising accomodation, is blue cap something my wife would know about(in her professional capacity)? spoke to bill today, are you going to collect the laverda battery? CC all davids toys have far too much time and money spent on them. i still have lustful thoughts for his last cast off! barbara thanks for your advice prior to curborough; nearly made it through 1 timed run before the throttle cable broke. hope to see you at oulton jerry Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
captain chaos Posted July 1, 2002 Author Share Posted July 1, 2002 Jerry, If his 7 is that clean, what must the Jota be like! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jerrypike Posted July 1, 2002 Share Posted July 1, 2002 CC about as clean as one of my old friends new jota 25 years ago after he'd had it a week (and washed it) it's so little used you could tempt him to sell it to you if you are interested (got to offset the new btb exhaust and 15" split rims) jerry Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
David Ward Posted July 1, 2002 Share Posted July 1, 2002 Blue not Dutch.......! Glad to see we're keeping up the "David's selling the Jota" pretence - my wife understands how difficult it is to find a buyer! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
captain chaos Posted July 2, 2002 Author Share Posted July 2, 2002 Ah Ha! Perhaps I should ring Mrs Ward then with an unbelievable offer.....say a grand for an old lump of metal then, and i'll even collect it so she doesn't miss Eastenders! Anyway back to the thread, I know there are more booked on so where are they? Open pitlane at the countries second best circuit...I thought they'd be queuing to get on!

Barbara Swift Posted July 2, 2002 Share Posted July 2, 2002 We've got a cracked chassis! (It's the way he drives wink.gif) Rear end of the car is once again being dismantled as I type. Seats are out, petrol tank's on it's way out - here we go again bum.gif But we're still going anyway !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! even if we haven't got a car sad.gif see you at the Blue Cap.

Barbara Swift Posted July 2, 2002 Share Posted July 2, 2002 Ah ... yes .. just realised I'm on the wrong Oulton thread ... although we are doing the Slipstream one on the 31st this posting applied to the Club one but yes we are still coming up this week. Sadly without a car so please be kind to us! sad.gif Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
captain chaos Posted July 3, 2002 Author Share Posted July 3, 2002 If Alex or Rob reads this, how are you intending to operate the open pit lane? Keep a certain number of cars on track and then as one comes in, let another one out? The only open type day I've been on before was at Spa where becuase of the numbers it was just go out and come in as you please! (However, my tyres wished there had been a queue!)

Powderpuff Posted July 4, 2002 Share Posted July 4, 2002 Hey Chaos, what about me! You're right on both counts, either a one off one on system, or if the circuit isn't at the capacity limit we set then you can go on when you like, depends on the final number of entries. Look forward to seeing you there, maybe even with the Telford 7 wink.gif Gordon Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
captain chaos Posted July 4, 2002 Author Share Posted July 4, 2002 Powder Puff, Please accept my sincerest apologies. How can I repay you..... Roll up, Roll up, for a fantastic track day at Oulton Park on the 31st July! biggrin.gif Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
stumpyseven Posted July 4, 2002 Share Posted July 4, 2002 Should be there, haven't driven Oulton before but looking forward to it as Alex seems to rate it nearly as highly as Cadwell. Have to survive LLandow and Spa first though, see you all up there. Do we have any idea of how many and what type of cars are attending. Is Mr Ince there giving passenger rides again (much appreciated and highly recomended). What's the noise limit? All the best Stumpy Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
captain chaos Posted July 4, 2002 Author Share Posted July 4, 2002 They do sound test at Oulton, but I have not had a problem in the past and I would say my seven is louder than average (whoops, have I started something there!wink.gif I think Alex is wrong. (oh no, here we go again!) Oulton is better than Cadwell. The first half of Cadwell (pit lane onwards) is too narrow and IMHO doesn't flow. Cadwell is good, but the Oulton full lap is a proper car circuit. Different class mate. You'll love Spa. Now that is a great circuit. I'd love to go back this year, poss in Sept. Have a good time and see you in July. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rob Morris Posted July 5, 2002 Share Posted July 5, 2002 Noise limit for Oulton is 105dba! Gordon, The infamous Telford 7 will be thereblush.gif Rob M. 40th Anniversary Man www.slipstream-trackdays.co.uk Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
