Rolling road day

[Donny_Dog]

These don't appear anymore.
Why?

Are RStuning still going?!

We should arrange. I vote for Jim (Leeds_182), because he isn't in Leeds and doesn't own a 182.

£5.42 my bhp is bigger than yours.

RS Tuning still very much going. No idea where their section has gone though

I find rolling road days just bring bad news.

^Whys that? Too much ego! Never been to one that's why I ask.

 

[Donny_Dog]

How was the carvery dude?

 

[andywa]

Very nice mate. Plenty of eye candy in there as well. Can't believe you got fogged off.

There's a few issues with organising a rolling road day at rs tuning;

1) You need someone to organise it (yorks doesn't have a rep).

2) You need about 10 people to commit at least (average yorks meets have around 3 people in attendance).

3) You need to pay a deposit (Yorkshire people are tight).

Other than that it should be plain sailing.

This exactly.

You turn up with a cracking car, find out its not making what it should.

You then spend ££££ fixing a non-existing problem.

I avoid now.

We've just done one at EFI today and circa 20 people came.

The rollers are pretty much spot on with the figures you get at RST, if not SLIGHTLY lower.

This is spot on.

The biggest problem is someone needs to arrange to get 10 people to pay a £5 deposit, so you arrange a day, let everyone know, pester people for the money for the deposit and then 2 weeks later when everyone has paid you and you call to book RSTuning is no longer available that day.

You need the NE or NW lot to join to make it worth doing and possible.

I'd like to see RSTuning offer a CS RR day once a year, I reckon it would get a decent turn out if it was run by them and it stops the deposit issues if run by one of us.

That's an awesome idea. I think it's a good overall health check of the engine too. If you're significantly down on a previous year then you know something is up.

If you pm Sam (Bonxy) from the NE area, he's thinking of arranging an RR day at RST for the north east lot in november, we've done it in november there for the last 3 years running and always get a decent turn out, even some of the NW chaps come over

I tried it last year and it fell flat on its face. There are too many messers to organise anything.

Try again? Go on, you know you want to....

I'd be up for one at rs tuning.

Lol, You've just been on!

Just want to add to this. I organsed on last year at RSTuning and have just done one at EFI on sunday, both had turnouts of over 20 cars and was fairly simple to organise. If anyone is looking at doing it for yorkshire, but wanted some help I don't mind coming and helping out with the organisation of the day etc.

Once you get your deposits numbers will build up then. Oh yeah, don't organise it 2 weeks before as well. Give people time to decide if they want to come or not, just make sure you get your deposits paid to guarantee the day.

 

[Tunst]

Il head to RST too hopefully have my timing sorted then...

 

[Lal B3N]

I know but always good to compare / good day out.

How much do rst want normally to secure the day? I mean deposit wise..

 

[Don]

You are looking at around £10 per person in most places.

 

[Jon.G]

I believe it was £10 per head. Minimum of 8 or 10.
