I am meeting my mates local then joining the convoy at the trading post at the normanton castleford m62 junction.

If you want to meet up i think gary will be joining the convoy at the brickworks if not you could meet up with us at the trading post if its on your way???

faboka vrs · 26-03-2008, 16:19

Not sure where you mean. I'll be heading down the M62 if that helps

corradoboy · 26-03-2008, 18:20

The Brickworks is just off the M62 at J.27. Come off and follow the A650 towards Bradford, but as soon as you get on the A650 turn right to go into Driglington and the pub is 200yds on your left. You can't miss it as it has a 100' (guess) high chimney with 'The Old Brickworks' written on it....

The Trading Post is just off J.32 and come off the big roundabouts following the A656 towards Castleford. Cross the first small rbout within 300yds and immediately there are some traffic lights. Turn right at these and then first left into the pub which has been renamed, 'The Whitwood Inn' I think ???

Or just stay on the 62 and meet everyone at Ferrybridge Services at 730am.

corradoboy · 26-03-2008, 18:23

PS, I'll be at The Bricky at 645, Trading Post 710 and Ferrybridge 720am.

Ill be on the jct 31 slip road with my speed gun

corradoboy · 28-03-2008, 15:37

The last copper who tried to clock me with a speed gun failed to get a reading every time

I was on track at Buxton Raceway and they were there preaching with their equipment. It was annoying as I was desperate to post a faster speed than the Scooby boys

corradoboy · 28-03-2008, 16:13

New boots on and ready

Oh, and LCR splitter and carbon'd b-pillars.

corradoboy · 28-03-2008, 16:22

A quick reminder. Remember to add some pressure to your tyres. Blyton is a killer on the rubber, so I always start 8psi over normal and see how it feels. If the handling is OK then add a little more until it starts to feel twitchy, but if you don't you'll be needing new tyres on Monday morning.

This took one loony 9 laps to do

skudmissile · 28-03-2008, 16:34

What would you run in the fabia then, 38psi all round??

Not too bothered about my tyres lasting till monday just so long as i am legal for the trip home

faboka vrs · 28-03-2008, 16:34

Lasty trackday I ran 38psi at the rear and around 42psi at the front (toyo t1r's). Afterwards I contacted Toyo and they recommend max of 38-39psi.

corradoboy · 28-03-2008, 16:50

I've got 40 in to start with.
