Then when am finished for the day, if someone can then put it back in the boot for me

Many thanks everyone

[ChrisHolmes]

Isn’t there a button to do that?

Everyone should have received an email from Nick Dougill with a signing on link. In case you didn't, you simply need to follow this link to sign on: https://brands-v1.msv.com/CheckIn/81c63 ... bdb1715c7e

Everyone will also need to view the safety briefing, available in the 24 hour period prior to the day, via the same link.

For Sale items I can bring with me on Friday. I know its not the parts sale thread but its specific to the event for collection.

Red Line MT-LV 70W/75W Gear Oil

I have some spare gear oil. If anyone is suffering from "snagging" synchros then this could be your path to smoothness. Its spare because my synchro issues have been cured by the traditional Redline MTL90, I thought it wasnt working so ordered the MT-LV 70W/75W and hey ho the gear changes settled down before I got round to changing the oil and the changes became quiet and smoother overall.
Cost to me was £50.33 delivered, yours for £45 collected on Friday.

White 40th Anniversary (PZ) boot spoiler

Pristine condition yours for £165 collected on Friday.

No Race car this year as its now too loud for track days, but I will give the RX-4 a last run out for the year and come and say hello for a little while.

If you are driving, a gentle reminder to view and complete the Safety Briefing before you arrive tomorrow as it will save a lot of your time in the morning.

Apologies if you've already done it, like me

See you all tomorrow

Hi Alan,
Federals are usable down to Zero easy enough so don’t let some people tell you there no good below 8
You do have to be sensible warming the tyres up which depends on conditions of weather, track , set up and driver
Brands will require 3 warm up laps minimum in cold weather working the tyres to get even heat spread.
For those people staying at the on-site hotel :
Warming the car correctly requires sacrificing the first session or going for a drive around first
You need to drive around sensibly and let the car stand for 10 mins or so to let the heat soak into gearbox, diff, drive shafts, bearings, brakes etc
Or you can do exactly want you want as I’m not trying to tell anyone how to suck eggs
Hope you all have a fantastic day, I couldn’t get my car ready in time for this unfortunately
Good luck everyone
Pete

For a first track day you were driving well, not dawdling around and clearly using your mirrors to spot faster cars approaching.
Glad you enjoyed today and hope to see you out in sunny weather during 2024.
