A few of the regulars are there also, oh and if you want you can see the review of last time we went by clicking here

Was an excellent day out - Whos interested?

i might come down and watch

Fag!
Just bring your car, you rag it around enough so doing it on the track will be SAFER as theres nothing to hit

In all honesty you can really find out alot about your car such as when the powerband starts to drop, how far you can push it around the bends before it over/understeers etc

how far away is it?

opening times?

is it a 'track' as such or marked out by cones?

Its about 1.5 Hrs away driving (Approx)

I think it opens at 9:00 am so an early start

I dont think i will be going unless i get my hands on a Track Car in time for the day

just thinkin is it easy to recognise the corners with it being just cones?

Corners and tack lay out is verygood.

I was going to run one in April as my 4i will be ready then and my mates 528 will also be ready.

Sorry Dazza i wont be able to make this one but might come and watch.

Its a verygood day tells you alot about your car and also alot about your driving.

Yes mate, your first lap is very daunting but you simply follow the car infront as you do several safety laps to get familliar with the course

Dazza if you're going then i'll go. Let me know if you're going asap mate so that I can get the car ready in time.

Hmmm, might join in with this. D'ya pay on the day or have to book?

Is this the one that's harsh on the tyres or was that a different track?

got a spare set of seetlies but id like good tyres so duno wether id swap em over

S'pose I could put my arospeeds back on coz they've got 35% profile nankangs and it's hardly like i'll have to worry about bumps!

Evo add found it a little harsh on the tyres.

Yes it can be harsh on tyres depending how soft they are. I was running semi slicks on the Prelude and lasted for about 20 laps before wearing down to the metal and bursting unexpectedly. On the Skyline I was running Conti Sport Contacts all round and they didn't show any signs of wear at all so next time i'll be using some slightly harder tyres.

Jim, you have to pay/book in advance

So when does payment have to be in by, and how do we book?

Forgot to ask - what about helmets? Do they provide them and if so do you have to pay for them?

Jim, You will find the info out here :

Javelin Trackdays Website.......

I think they have limited helmets available for hire and they were cheap if i remember rightly.

I have an old tatty spare helmet you could borrow if thats any use ?



Click here to watch the spins of the day with My Escort Cozzy......

Hope that helps ??

Gary the track is very well lined with cones, you wont get lost and the width of the track is very wide (plenty of room to overtake/be overtaken) plus as Scooby says they take you out on a few safety laps.

By using the link Scooby provided you can view which cars are going, plus the breifing times etc

Just to add - They sell new helmuts cheap at DemonTweeks, only £30 and had a few different colours and styles, I checked them out when I went down and they have breathers and demisters on them too

Change of plan!
To allow people MORE time it will be moved to March the 18th.

This will allow tupac and friends to come also

That's better for me as well. I've got Santa Pod the next day on the Sunday. Should be able to make March the 18th.

any car sprinting at york.im always there through the yr i race my gilera runner 172 doing 13.5 second 1/4 mile at 93mph

ment to say elvington not york,york is like a motorcross track

There isnt a sprint at Elvington but myself and another mate are trying to get into sprints/hillclimbs - Still researching it at the moment but if your interested your welcome

Yes i'm also trying to get into sprints. Defo going to do the New Brighton prom sprint in September Dazza if your up for it. I know John WRX is also doing it.

I could be tempted with the sprints at NB this year, need a half decent cozzie or somit though....

Hope you get one mate, it'll be good fun. I still can't decide to do it in the Skyline or Prelude yet . I'm thinking there's too much at stake if I stuff it in the Liner and that would slow me down a lot if I thought about it around the track.

Dazza change of date has done the trick welldone matey .

Me and my mate are going to try and come to this (in his 528 E28) which he has built for trackdays.

Dont think the 4i will be ready still need to do the shells and run it in.

Come on peps this could be a verygood day and the weather wont be to harsh.

My mate in his Evo has promised to come to this providing he gets his clutch and boost sorted by then. I'm deffo going anyway.

Just watched the video DAZZA forgot how many times you span

But thats what a trackday is all about those of you who think you can drive (me aswell) trackdays are were you find out how good a driver you are and just how good your motor is.


If anybody is worried about using there car i may if i can sort it use the 4i BUT you will have to pay the entrance fee.

DONT FORGET ITS £95 FOR two DRIVERS

just a couple of pics to show you that you dont need a frogger or a car with massive bhp to do a trackday every manner of car and owner go even though there have been a couple of froggers n gt3's.

SORRY HAD TO PUT SOME UP OF THE OLD GIRL.




PM ME IF YOU ARE INTERESTED IN USING THE 4I.

web page

JUST INCASE ANYBODY WANTED A TRACKDAY TOY.

Kinda liking this one........

web page

All i would do is make it RWD

Yes that looks mint Jay. It doesn't say the bhp but it will be quick, very quick and even quicker with NOS Good handling as well as it is, but as I know you like your rear end fun Jay i'd agree you'd be better converting it to rwd.

I see that Javeline are now holding a meet a RAF barkston which has a sprint course and a slalom course

I've just received an email from Javelin to say this, but it's too short notice for me to get the cars ready otherwise I would've gone to it and reported on here what it was like. I'll probably do a few of these throught the spring/summer to get warmed up for the New Brighton Sprints.

How's it looking for the 18th then? Will everyones cars be ready be then?

Mtes car is ready (used it end of jan) Just making it a little lighter and i have lent him my bucket seats.

Will be booked by nextweek come on peps who else is comming??

I'm taking the Prelude which is almost ready. Got a straight through exhaust fitted yesterday, just need the coilovers fitting which should be done by the end of next week. Should be another good day can't wait

I've also put my name down to do the sprints in Lincolnshire on the 2nd April if anyone wants to come along. £89 for the day and it's only 1 car allowed around the course at a time.

I am not sure if I will be able to get my car trailer'd there so I will PROVISIONARY book it, I dont want to say its a definate YES and then let you guys down.

If you know anyone that can get my car there then i'll go - Even if I have to pay for the rental of the trailor and fuel costs.

My wishbones just need to be fitted, tighten a jubilee clip on my fuel hose oh and block a breather off - Then am ready to go

JSL do Vehicle Transportation matey

I've provisionally booked it too

My ,mate races his mini tho!

Will be fully paid for by weds.

Come on peps get paying.

THE 4i is still there if sombody wants to take it.

Gonna have to back outta this, sorry peeps. Would love to give it a go but I've now got no spare wheels to run on and my brakes seem to be running like blancmange at the moment, they overheat if i brake any more than i would during normal driving. I'll try and make one later this year when i've got my suspension, brakes, and a little more power sorted. Oh, and I'll probs end up with some more alloys+tyres i can use on trackdays for then too.

PAID UP.

Come on peps who's next.

Dazza were we meeting??

pm sent about sprinting.

Tupac you sure youve signed up for March 18th? I cant see yours/Chris's name anywhere.

I'll contact EvoAd and see if he's convoying up with us
