Another duck event - Rolling Road day at TDF

[theduck]

Following the success of the last two events, I have decided I'll carry on arranging events on a quarterly basis. The next of which is another rolling road day at Tour de Force followed by a piss up afterwards as its my Birthday weekend! Location of piss up to be confirmed but will be local-ish to TDF. I'll also be booking a hotel so will put details up here once I have them.

What?

A rolling road day with feedback and advice from a professional motorsport engineer and beers locally afterwards.


Where?

Tour de Force Power Engineering Limited
Unit V3 Grovemere Court
Bicton Industrial Park
Kimbolton
Huntingdon
Cambridgeshire
PE28 0EY


When?

9am Saturday 28th May 2011

How much?

£35 per car


Everything else

We'll be limited to 20 cars for the day to ensure that everyone not only gets their power run but will get proper feedback on their runs and advice on improvements, future modifications etc.

For those in the Birmingham area I'll arange a convoy from Corley Services southbound on the M6 departing at 8am sharp, I'll be there from about 7:30am.

Think that covers everything except list of attendees, as places are limited please only put your name down as running a car if you are definately attending, to put your name on the list jsut copy and paste the bit below and add your name and what car you are bringing along.

Good lad Dave.!

Right have just spoken to Matt about the all important Beers side of the event. He has recommended we go to The Saddle in Kimbolton for Beers (They have Peroni on Tap) and food as they make a cracking pizza. Then we can go on into St Neots for a proper night out!

As for Hotel looking at this http://www.premierinn.com/en/checkHotel/EATCRO/st.-neots-a1/wyboston but not booked anything yet so if people find a better deal then post it in here.

 

[Dave.]

ill have the one and some grubd, but wont be up for the night out im afraid!

 

[Gray]

ahh we went to the Saddle last Friday with Matt and co. Nice pub and the pizza was daaaamn good!

 

[Will.]

I could be up for this. Won't be for the night out though. Working Sundays FTL

If everyone waits for the list to be fuller no one will come

Oh and if people wonder why I'm not running anything on the rolling road, its because I dont have a clue what I will own by then, lol.

 

[Dave.]

i can see you in this stu...

 

[jenic]

If everyone waits for the list to be fuller no one will come

It's over 2 hours from my house! Want to make sure its worth attending

 

[theduck]

Trust me, it will be! Ask anyone who attended the karting or last rolling road day

EDIT: Dave, missed your post. I think, not.

FLOL at you edit!

 

[Dave.]

Yep both were ace, you did a good job stu.

Ive edited the above post!

 

[jenic]

Only reason i'm thinking of attending is because of how good the karting meet seemed to be. A bit gutted I didn't make the effort for it tbh, I think it was you that pm'd me about it too

 

[The Boosh!]

Is last minute an option Stu?

I'm not sure if i will be north or south that week so will be very much playing it by ear. Not interested in a run, so will probably just show up and get pissed up if i come.

 

[theduck]

Yeah for anyone that just wants to come along for the day/piss up then its not hugely important to get yout name down, just need numbers for the rolling road tbh.

 

[Curley]

Is it just one power run?

lol this is true yes, you know what that would be a laugh, sticking someone on a dyno on a pushbike..... anyone up for it?

Will the better engine be in for this run? When is it going to Freds? I'm there next Fri so might see the car in bits

 

[Dave..]

I'll be coming down the M1 to J19 (M6 - A14 junction), is there any services nearby to join the convoy???

I'd have thought we'll get a group of the east mids lot together, and travel down. As it's at the end of May though, we have a bit of time still to think about it

 

[theduck]

To answer a couple of questions, yes any car is allowed to run, however to avoid dissapointment, if you have a car larger than a large hatch, and/or it is RWD pleae drop me a pm with the details so I can get the Ok for it from Matt.

It is one run, in the sense your car will only go on the rollers once, however Matt will run it up 3 or 4 times as necesarry to get the most accurate result.


Oh and can people put down if they are going to come for the drinks/food and more drinks? Just so I can give Matt an idea of numbers and he can then make sure he lets the pub know.
