WD40 - 25th Feb 2012

Post 423376 by Wobbly Dave on 2011-11-09 16:10:17
Yes next year - Feb 11th is my 40th Birthday. Co-incidentally it is also an Open Pit Lane at Cadwell Park!
http://www.clubmsv.com/car-home/event-details.aspx?productid=1093
I have phoned ClubMSV & the Fuil day is 99 quid but if I can get 10 or more people then I can get a discount of 10%. So sooner you register interest the better for all it will be. I don't want to have the responsibiliity of booking so I will discuss refund of 10%, with the organisers assuming we can get the numbers? Everyone will have to book themselves on.
I can't think of a better way to enjoy my milestone. Due to the fact that it is pretty far away from most people I certainly will be booking a B&B for Friday night.
It is an awesome track.
Post your interest below. I will be contacting other friends & family to see if they are up for it. If no-one comes - I am still going!
You don't need to drive - I am happy to provide passenger thrill rides ;) You don't even need to have a Volvo - I am happy to include everyone.
I dare say we might have a wee drinky in the evening?? I am looking at going for a curry. There is a restaurant in Louth about 15mins away

UPDATE:
Additional Drivers within a booked vehicle will be 25 quid. This will also entitle the additional driver to ride as a passenger in any vehicle (or drive it based on owner - no TWOCing please!!). Additional drivers must attend the safety briefing.
Passenger only tickets are just 10 quid - and you can ride in any booked vehicle.
For safety & other T&Cs please visit the link at the top.
UPDATE 2 - (21st Nov 2011)
I can confirm that we now have a group booking code. You will need to ring ClubMSV rather than booking online. Code unsurprisingly enough is WD40.
Additional drives can be pre-booked on pay on the day. Same for passengers
[SIZE=6][COLOR=red]Number to call is 0843 453 3000 then press 1 for cars. State the event: Cadwell Park - 11th Feb 2011 & quote WD40[/COLOR][/SIZE]

Hi i took my c70 t5 round Cadwell, in Sept 120 mph up the back straight chasing a 2010 911 carrera s, who came over to me after and said "thats not F~~king standard"!!!
i said no, just a filter change LOL
Its running 1.3 bar de cat, i cut it out, and no managment lights on!!
manual HLM map and it pulls and pulls, and as for handling H&R springs and 18 wheels
Well my gay gold Volvo wasnt flavour of the month, with the 911 guys!!!!
I love my C70 it just great fun and since i de catted it 27.5 mpg win win
Post 423385 by Wobbly Dave on 2011-11-09 16:33:59
Good stuff! I did CP this March - so I am very keen to return.
Post 423386 by daza-b on 2011-11-09 16:35:46
dam that means i got to rush the project, cant be getting beat at all, 400bhp ovolov here we come, rapid style!! lol
Post 423388 by viggen on 2011-11-09 16:37:58
Its a great track, that if you keep your nerve along the back straight leading into the left hander you can hit 120 :worship:
Its a tight track but the c70 loved it
Post 423389 by Wobbly Dave on 2011-11-09 16:39:32
To be honest - it doesnt matter so long as it don't disintergrate. So long as you have fun & go home in 1 piece then all will be well.

I have another mate who's celebrated a WD40 party (Ward-Davies surname).
DAVE add me to the list please. I'll run whatever car I feel like on the day.
Will be willing to play track Taxi for those who are brave enough...
Only a 4hr drive each way.

Indeed it was BB - I had him dead on that straight but he wouldn't yield so I backed off to make the corner (no overtaking on corners allowed).
I think if I have an idea of numbers before Xmas that will be good

Going on past experiences - passengers can usually sign on for ten quid & additional drivers within the same vehicle for thirty five.
Bring what ever you feel happier in. At the end of the day it's just a fun day of unlimited driving. I will double check with ClubMSV & post at the top.
Post 423852 by Wobbly Dave on 2011-11-10 16:22:55
Just spoken to ClubMSV - I am getting a group booking code from them soon & I have confirmed the prices of passengers & additional drivers. Once that code is in place then we should be able to start booking it up!

Looks like me and thee will be going up there together then mate. Hmmm, i think springs, rolls bars, poly bushes etc will be on my list for santa.!
Let me know when your booking mate and il book to.
Oh i found brick of phone!

The winners are always the ones that get to take their cars home in one piece. It is unlimited driving - but it isn't racing as such & timing is strictly prohibited - just drive within your limits. You will build up confidence & speed hopefully as the day goes on. Overtaking is done by co-operation. I'd go far as to say that it is less risky that driving on a A-Road. At least everything is going in the same direction & the run off & danger points are covered by gravel traps. As I said it's all about having fun!

The nearest town to Cadwell Park is Louth - it's in North East Lincs - sorta near Grimsby/Skegness.

Assuming enough cars book then I am certain (so long as you either bring or hire a helmet) there will be plenty of room for a few laps.

Once I have the discount code it is 99 quid for the whole day (open pit lane). I hope this will not put you off. Cadwell is truly amazing.

Think I might book into a B&B too mate, good chance to enjoy a beer too :)
Post 428187 by Wobbly Dave on 2011-11-20 23:43:44
In March we stayed at a B&B close by - it was cheap & cheerful & the breakfasts are spot on. I will get the details and post them up.
Can't do much about the weather I'm afraid. It might snow - it might be sunny.

We stayed here at the Beaumont Hotel.
http://thebeaumonthotel.co.uk/
Twin room was 105 quid - shared that is good value IMHO - and the bar was warm & friendly.
Perhaps we could look for something a little cheaper?

50 Quid a head isnt bad for a twin, that said if one can be found cheaper then obviously for one nights kip it doesnt matter if its not a five star service.
Post 428198 by Wobbly Dave on 2011-11-21 01:05:11
I have looked around on Late Rooms & Booking dot com & to be honest there isn't a lot a great deal cheaper.
Post 428287 by smithy on 2011-11-21 16:25:57
the green man 60 pounds a night twin with breakfast but dont know if that is couple or single 35 pounds including breakfast
Post 428315 by Wobbly Dave on 2011-11-21 17:59:40
I can confirm that we now have a group booking code. You will need to ring ClubMSV rather than booking online. Code unsurprisingly enough is WD40.
Post 428393 by JUDGENINJA on 2011-11-21 21:24:47
Cheers DAVE. Will book Mine on Thursday(payday)
Post 428494 by Wobbly Dave on 2011-11-22 01:35:25
I had a message from the organisers. Discount will be refunded once the 10 car limit is reached. To avoid confusion I will pay the value of this discount up front & then they can give it me back.
Post 438818 by Wobbly Dave on 2011-12-21 14:09:05
Great news - I have booked & the price has dropped to 99 quid - which if we have enough interest will mean it will be only 90 pounds with the WD40 booking code - but you must book by phone & quote WD40!!

press 1 for cars & use WD40 as the booking code. If you want to bring the cossie mates - then that is fine by me.

on any other track day, you can spectate for free and pay on the day for a passenger wristband,which would allow you as many rides as possible.
from the organisers point of view, they would prefer it if you booked in advance,saves time on the day and they might limit numbers??

Do what we did then mate......tell no family what your doing, get your 10 best friends together and away you go, then off to a nice resturant and eat and drink till you cant stand, cost me less than a grand for the whole day, and with the money saved by not paying for people we dont really know/like buggered off to Cape Town the next day, simples :)

Luckily for me, neither of us want a big wedding or anything, its just not us.
Thats why i didn't mind spending so much (relatively speaking) on the engagement ring - well thats what i keep telling myself anyway.

Post 445570 by Wobbly Dave on 2012-01-06 19:17:24
For spectating - you do not need to book or ring up, just come on the day.
I think for passengers & for additional drivers you can POTD - but you will need to be there in time for the safety briefing otherwise you will not be able to get the requisite wrist bands & the marshalls will not allow you on track.
I haven't started booking accomodation. It looks very much that the Mrs & the Wibble will be staying at home.
Bookings dot com & laterooms dot com are both good places to find cheap hotels. It would be nice if we could find somewhere together.

Post 445752 by Wobbly Dave on 2012-01-06 23:02:04
The tyre blistering will be minimal at that time of year - particularly if the track is a little damp to start with.
I think that you are much less likely to crash than OTR - as everything is going in the same direction.
To avoid melty brakes - you should limit yourself to 6 - 7 hot laps with a warm up & cool down at each end of the session.

My only real concern at the moment with tracking is my lack of experience? Ultimately I dont want to walk away with a blown up or smashed up car.

Yeah was thinking blocks of 3-4 laps just to evaluate how long the cars going to survive at first. (Though knowing me, once I'm out there I will probably lose count).

you shouldn't come away with a broken car, if your sensible.
speeds are much lower than you think.
when I booked,I was offered the instructor session.
I will take this up on the day,should I make it. £20ish and 15mins with someone that knows the track and how to drive round it. very valuable time and money well spent.
also that day in particular is after WD40!! :doh:

Only thing is - you drive within your own limits - this is not a race & there is no timing allowed. Conditions will also dictate the pace. Overtaking is by co-operation. If someone is coming up & is faster than you, move to the right of the track (no overtaking allowed on corners) & back off the throttle. All of this is covered in the safety briefing - but there is nowt to worry about.

Everyone that is running a car needs to be at the briefing on time & you need perhaps 20/30 mins before that to check in. Passengers can pay before or after that briefing.

Mine last time was quieter than the D5 green goddess. Unless you have a side cut - you'll be very unlikley to fail the test.

If mine can go through, you will be fine.
Make sure the car is nice and warm.
You will be asked your max revs and then asked to throttle to about 3/4's of that.the higher the figure you give, more throttle.....:)
They will do drive-by testing too, but as your aware, turbo cars are quieter on track
I am running a full 3" with only 1 silencer and checked in at 102db with a straight outlet on the turbo, with my new angled downpipe it has dropped to 98db.

I'd love to make this, but it doesn't look likely now (work commitments) unfortunately!
I'd even had the towbar fitting scheduled and got tyres sorted for the car!
"Next time around" eh.
Have a great day everyone!

That is a shame. I was looking forward to seeing you Al. Next one is Oulton Park on 2nd March.

Oulton Park... will see if I can make that one. Thanks for the heads-up.

[quote=The Flying Moose;454003]Right here is where I am at.
I have booked my Hotel so I am coming regardless as a minimum of a spectator.
At the moment I am waiting on a 16T to arrive, a set of new shoes and a re-map. If I get the above done in time Ill be tracking.
Is there a deadline for booking Dave? If so I may have to book and take my chances?[/quote]
I don't believe there is any cut off. The cut off will be when there are no spaces left. This is unlikely to fill right up due to it being so early in the year.
List at the moment...
Booked with Cars
Wobbly Dave & Betsy C70 T5 - Hotel (Friday)
Lance Baker - V50 T5 (Stealthy version - so stealthy that on a track day he is hard to find - ooh look I just lapped him again )
JohnnyT - 854 Rydell look alike.
Woddy - 854 T5
T5RPete
Santa
Chad
JudgeNinja
Additional Drivers/Passenger/Spectating (book prior or POTD)
LiamT4 - Passenger - TBC
AndysR - Passenger/Spectator? - TBC
HappyGilmour - Passenger -TBC
Jamest5r - r - Hotel (Friday)
RikCougar & SWMB - Spectating at the moment but may be tempted - C70
PinupGal
TFM - Driver - 854 R - Hotel (Friday)
Interested but Unconfirmed
Dazab - Driver - Car
rockheadrumble - Additional Driver with TFM
Justin - Audi RS4 "Layla" - Driver
Claymore - if I've got the car fixed
I am 2 short of a full set for the discount - according to this list. Vitch my best mate is supposed to be bringing his V70 T5 (2.4) - but despite a number of reminders he has not yet booked.

[quote=JUDGENINJA;454203]Just to confirm - Booked track(plus instructor).[/quote]
Just checked with ClubMSV people - and got you added to our group. If you book online then you are not automatically added.
So we definitely have 8 cars. Need 2 more to get the discount.

I out dragged him onto the start finish straight, but he wouldn't yield & Copse was coming up quickly so I bailed out the throttle. The white V70 was being driven by Barnsley Bill. Granted it wasnt by a lot, but I bottled out on taking him through the corner.
Post 454248 by GregE102 on 2012-01-25 12:15:12

Looked like Good fun on track though!
Post 454252 by Wobbly Dave on 2012-01-25 12:22:50
Well I was seriously unimpressed by his track craft. He wouldn't yield & at one point I had to back right off because of all the faster cars queued up on me. You'll see that on the vid, just before the mountain complex.

Post 455017 by JUDGENINJA on 2012-01-26 22:56:02
Frankie - make sure you are measuring correctly:
Exert from the website of how they will be testing:
The initial test is a static test which is carried out using a handheld meter. Each car is measured 0.5 meters away from the exhaust at a 45 degree angle when the engine is being held at ¾ of the maximum RPM. In cases where the vehicle has two separated exhausts the measurement will be taken as below from the median point between the two.
It doesn't look like they do a drive by test..

What Liam said!!!
Oh and assuming most of your mileage is at 56mph like mine then its safe to say high speed cornering and agility isnt practised for most of those miles :croc:

We have our 10 cars - so I will call ClubMSV on Monday to discuss how to get everybodies £10 back. Any additional cars will obviously be discounted from now on.
This is awesome & I am beside myself with excitement!!

Well my turbo will not be fitted in time now, unfortunately having issues with the delivery. A little annoyed as I have four new Yokohama Parada Spec 2's going on tomorrow ready for the track... that was a waste! Simply not worth running when I can only boost 6psi without issues.
So if there are any passenger rides going... ;)

If mine is running, I will gladly give you a ride,
no surprise on your turbo, but I will re-unite you with your old one and show you what it can do when properly built and balanced! :D

Johnny, cheers mate... I very much look forward to it :)
Dave, thanks too. A trip in betsy is not an opportunity to miss.
I have to admit now I have seen it the packhorse does look the better venue, for a start its a pub ;)
Ill be kicking about at 7pm then if your in town Frankie.
Can I suggest an exchange of telephone numbers to those who are "pubbing it"
Post 456698 by Wobbly Dave on 2012-01-30 11:35:51
There is a bar area in the Beaumont - but I am happy to come & find you lot.
I would ask those that have spare helmets - to bring them along - to make passenger rides easier/ less costly.

I think my clutch would end up in pieces like frankie's if i took it on the track. Not sounding healthy at min. Loosing quite a a bit of oil from a seal down back of the box at min too.
Got my new wheels on tonight and the rears are rubbing badly. Bit of moddifying needed on the weekend i think. LOL

Just 18" Rims on 225/40 tyres. There's only nearside which is rubbing on the edge of the arch but strangely it rubs no matter which way you turn. Its maybe because that's what side my sub/amp is sitting on.

Well I've canceled my order with Spec for the clutch and flywheel. It will be another 10 days before they even look to build it. I've called TTV racing to see what they can do.

Not well, the exhaust housing has a crack in it so vibrates, rattles and leaks anything over 6psi.
Im running no boost at the moment.

IMPORTANT NEWS!!
Those who have booked via the phone will receive their booking confirmation via email in the next couple of days. This will include the promised 10% discount.
Sadly Wayne & Vitch - who booked online cannot get this. I am really sorry chaps but the only way for ClubMSV to process the discount is to wait until the last minute to see if we reached critical mass (of 10 cars).
However you are still part of the group.
Anyone who still wants to go - if you phone ClubMSV & use the WD40 group code - ClubMSV has said that they may be able to squeeze a few more car in. You cannot do this via the online booking form!!

ClubMSV have said if the event is cancelled due to poor weather conditions - then they will offer everyone a credit to the value of their booking.
I am hoping that as this on the east coast that the cold front will be strong enough to keep any snow to the western side of the Pennines. I hope it stays sunny, dry & cold, like it has been recently.

I looked at the long range met forecast its supposed to be 20-26 mph winds from the SW, temps will be 4-6 degrees but with wind chill factor feel like 0 but the sun will be out! and no chance of rain, there for no snow!

Lol. I might camp out at trax. Sounded like it was fun last year. Sure I can rough it for 1 night. Lol.
I'm hoping for lovely sun. My phone says sun for sat. I've just spoke to a fella that's come back from Harrogate this morn and he couldn't come back by the a66 which is the way I was going to go because it's blocked by couple foot of snow.

Sunny & dry is fine but who is going to clear the snow of the track?

I'll have a shovel in the car. Well skip the curry and pub on Friday night and do a bit of snow clearing instead. Lol

Spoke to ClubMSV - the Go/ No Go decision has not been made. Participants will be notified by email. Apparently efforts will be made to clear the track.
Post 460752 by smithson007 on 2012-02-09 14:49:42
Are we all just going to travel anyways and play it by ear? Find something else to do sat if for some reason it's off which I hope it's not.

I am because the hotel cancellation fee for me now its past the 7th of February is the full amount payable so Im not going to throw £65 down the drain.
Post 460759 by smithson007 on 2012-02-09 15:18:48
Might aswell. I'm sure we'll fill the day in with Sumet. Hopefully won't need to though.

Just had a message of Wayne (Judgeninja) saying Cadwell is cancelled???
Post 460766 by JUDGENINJA on 2012-02-09 16:05:24
Yep Check Emails
Due to the continued adverse weather conditions at Cadwell Park, we have unfortunately been forced to cancel the car trackday on Saturday 11th February. Although the circuit itself is now clear of snow, the persistently low temperatures over the last few days have not allowed areas such as the gravel traps and run off to significantly thaw. As such it would not be safe to operate the circuit in such conditions. We apologise for any disappointment this may cause.
The event has been rescheduled to run on Saturday 25th February. All timings will remain the same.
If the rescheduled date is not suitable a credit voucher can be issued to your Club MSV account to the value of your original booking. Credit vouchers can be used towards any Club MSV event within the next 12 months. Please contact us at [email]trackdays@clubmsv.co.uk[/email] to receive a credit voucher. For the avoidance of doubt, we do not offer refunds for events that are cancelled due to adverse weather.
Further trackday dates can be found at - http://www.clubmsv.com/car-home/calendar.aspx

I guess we all knew it was coming. I suppose all that remains is to ask who is still heading up given that Hotel's are booked etc?

[quote=t5frankie;461069]strange cos they will let us out in the rain[/quote]
I think the thumb in the air physics of rain vs snow from my marshalling days is:
Stopping distance is about 5 times longer (10 times further compared to dry) and at high speeds will mean that you'll bounce off the barrier at almost full speed.... This would be a challenge, but when the red mist hits with us amatuers things would quickly decend into chaos... then add the Grass factor and you might never stop and float off into oblivion.

when they made that decision the track had no snow at all it was the frozen run off areas that was the cause for concern, and lots of people lost money on hotels cos 1 days notice was sufficient in their eyes

Fantastic day out, thoroughly enjoyed it. Thanks Dave for letting me come along, really glad I made it in the end. Thanks also to Wayne and Dean for a passenger insight to Cadwell.
I really must make sure I'm ready for the next trackday...
Looking forward to Dave's video of Woody coming off when I was riding shotgun!!!

Absolute quality day out!! For my first time on track with a great atmosphere, superb conditions on track (even if it was about -10degC).
Certainly got an appetite for more trackdays now!!
Oh, and of course a MASSIVE thank you to Wobbly Dave for organising!! Well done fella, great day!

Great day. Thanks for organising it Dave. I'm glad I forced myself into going even in a pain killer dosed up state to help combat the effects of man plague.
Car, dispite some issues (clutch which is a known issue and the brake fluid getting slightly hot causing a lack of....well...brakes) performed ok. Glad I didnt have to take the racing to seriously which meant more fun. Got to say my favorite bit of the track is the hill that goes down and up then a blind crest and into a sharp corner....brilliant whilst flat out in 4th :-)
Even though the driving was fun it was especially great to meet up with old friend and to meet new people I hadnt met before :-)
Post 466847 by deathrider311271 on 2012-02-25 21:49:44
Brilliant day out and local what a bonus, good too finally meet some folk off here and a big thanks to WD for the ride round the track in his car. Its certainly a lot different to doing it on a bike looks a lot narrower lol.
Rock on the next track day:eye-poppi

Post 466862 by The Flying Moose on 2012-02-25 22:44:37
The drive home was certainly interesting, a short road trip with Wayne and Pete down the A158, A158, B1193, A52 then onto the A17.
Pete managed to break down after trying to keep up with my slushomatic 850... a quick spin around and diagnosed to be a boost hose... simply pop it back on tighten the clip and away we go.
On a good note however a certain McDonalds was greeted by three 850's and a V70 T5 on the way back when we bumped into BlackBeast and Greg again!
Quality day and I really hope to do it again soon.

Thanks to everyone for coming - was just the best day out. Cheers to Vitch & Frankie (& mini frank) for a lovely evening on Friday. My head hurt quite a bit this morning.
Cheers to the MSV people - I managed to book an instructor after lunch who, as a special treat took me out in the M3 safety car. Betsy never missed a beat all day long.
I have lots of videos to watch & process - but for those that missed it here is Woody (Dean) stacking it at the top of the Goosesneck chicane.

As has been said, your car does look good on the track. Its the boxy shape of the 850s, when lowered right they just look really aggressive.

Sadly the values go a bit weird when you render them to video (they don't match the values seen on the phone). It must be down to the Java applet needed to convert the video. If you listen - the sound & the rising of the rpm values do not match up!! Even so it gives a rough idea.

Here it is - bit long winded but your flamer is at the start - just turning into Coppice
[ame]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=fnXPZoc6UyA[/ame]
I thought it included my best lap - but sadly not...
I have also edited up our trip out together
[ame]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=umOP4xWr0Zw[/ame]
- with your expert commentary ;) and it also includes me outbraking myself into Mansfield (left hander at the bottom of the hill below the gooseneck)
This has my best recorded lap which is just under 2 minutes. I think I was a bit faster with the instructor but I guess we'll never know.
Post 467256 by LiamT4 on 2012-02-26 20:45:19
Right then race drivers -
what discs and pads were you using, how many laps did you do and how did well did they cope?
Post 467270 by JUDGENINJA on 2012-02-26 21:08:25
DS2500.. Good, but dead by 10:00.. Ran Mintex pads for the rest of the day.
Brembo Max front disks... Still going strong.
Post 467276 by Wobbly Dave on 2012-02-26 21:12:30
Zimmerman 302 plain disks, Ferodo DS 2500 pads, dot 5.1 brake fluid, goodridge lines.
The braking I would say was on the whole pretty good. Only issue with fade occurred when I really got going with the instructor, particularly at the end of the Park Straight (I did get quicker as the day went on).
I could back off the pace and keep it going. I was able to do 6 or 7 laps without any problems.
Zimmermans held up very well. - First time ever they didn't warp!!
Post 467289 by JUDGENINJA on 2012-02-26 21:23:49

Post 467340 by BlackBeast on 2012-02-26 22:14:42
S60R volvo discs all round with XP8s in the front and s60r standard pads in the rear. No issues with brakes at all throughout the day. Can't imagine what XP10/12s are like.

That's not too much of a problem though as surely the S40 is probably about 137hp.. and in a lighter shell would be quicker than the 940, right? ;)
