Trax 2013 Discussion

[stribo]

To be honest, you've probably had more Volvo's than any other member.

He's had more cars than anyone else, the X5 will be up for sale soon. ;)

[T5frankie]

no it won't, pains me to say it but its probably the best car ive ever had as an overall package, it ticks all the boxes

[stribo]

Yes it will, how many times have you said "this car's a keeper" only to sell it the following month. You'll get bored of it like you did with all the others.;)

[stribo]

A Dacia Sandero. :D

[Santa]

yeah it has.................me, vpcuk's top poster.............................counts for naff all it seems this year

You seem to be a tad bitter even though we contacted Trax on your behalf to see if there was another solution for your car. (Granted, Trax already had a solution regarding parking spaces for track session holders).

Anyway if youve got an issue why dont you PM me, or come see me at Trax to discuss it.

As for having so many posts, thanks for the contribution but why should it lead to having special treatment over any other member?

I don't want special treatment, what i don't want is my missus driving in their on her own me having to drive somewhere different to her and leave her feeling nervous not knowing where she is going or where to park, she aint a confident driver, whether you like it or not i am one of the main people on this forum, been here longer than most and for you to basically say eff off cos my car is broken (at a vpc meet i add)is ridiculous

You aint being told to f off but from what Ive seen in PM exchanges you have being pretty much doing that to us! (As well as saying you were taking someone other than your missus)

You are welcome to come to the stand like every one else and if you bring a Volvo you can even show it on the stand if you wish.

It is an exhibition stand for the club, not club specific parking for you to abandon your car

[V70 Graham]

.....what i don't want is my missus driving in their on her own me having to drive somewhere different to her and leave her feeling nervous not knowing where she is going or where to park, she aint a confident driver....

If it comes to it mate we normally meet up before hand to collect tickets etc, I for one (and I'm sure there would be others) would be happy to stick with her and make sure she got to where she's meant to be going.

There have been changes this year, some implemented by trax, some by our insurance company and some by us from lessons learned last year.

Parking on the stand and its restrictions were outlined back in January on the original Trax 2013 thread.

If you want to continue this mate you know how to PM me

[ExternalError]

I'll be seeing everyone there anyway i'll be parking with general entrance people but i'll have a wonder over to the stand to say hi

[JUDGENINJA]

They might change there mind when we get there because alot of peeps will be racing but we will see what happens on the day .

[JT]

they wont change it, takes too much organisation,more marshals and tow vehicles for a start

all the tickets have been sold mate, no pay on the day, up to 45 cars on at once on the 1.6 mile track lol should be interesting, maybe ill fit some bull bars

[p fandango]

[JT]

[JT]

oh and iirc, where the stand is located is on tarmac, so any one thinking of putting up a gazeebo or similar, would need to bring something to weigh it down

I'm sure a couple of Volvos would do it:)

We're in control of that thanks ;) Weights been ordered.failing that we'll use an 850 or two ;)

[JUDGENINJA]

They might change there mind when we get there because alot of peeps will be racing but we will see what happens on the day .

They're probably going to use the other section for something else, but 45 cars in such a short track, they'll either be a lot of queuing or a few mishaps on the overtakes.!

[smithy]

It's going to be a nightmare

[V70 Graham]

Glad I decided not to take the car out this year, 45 cars in a mile and a half is going to be interesting.

[JT]

I suppose that could make things interesting? Lol

I'm used to starting with grids of 32, so it's gonna be busy :)

[stribo]

We're in control of that thanks ;) Weights been ordered.failing that we'll use an 850 or two ;)

We used to use spare wheels.

[smithy]

How are they going to do the taxi rides with that many cars in the track

[MoleT-5R]

How are they going to do the taxi rides with that many cars in the track

suppose that we'll do more laps, as the track is now halved, so more piccy opportunities, going to be a bit crowded out there

[Nealevo]

It's going to be bumper cars if we are out with the chav brigade..... (not you Frankie)

[T5frankie]

I can see it being quite slow

[JT]

We'll have to clear a path then! :)

[V70 Graham]

I can see it being quite slow

Can't wait for the X5 to smoke out the other 44

[T5frankie]

Can't wait for the X5 to smoke out the other 44

It's definately been mapped for power with the amount of soot it chuck's out

[stribo]

All those cars charging down the Wellington straight into Brooklands will be fun.;)

[Harvey]

Thanks got my tickets in the post today.:funkybana

[Jamest5r]

Got mine and Smithy's tickets today cheers Nat :)

Track time 11:40

[stribo]

I'm guessing we all have the same track time.(other than those going out more than once.)

[JT]

My tickets are here too :)
Cheers Nat

Yea I have 11:40 too :)

[p fandango]

got mine as well :)

[Nealevo]

The postman has probably stole mine, but I won't know until I get home on Saturday night.... :(

[stribo]

Just a thought, we'll be taking a gas ring for boiling a kettle, for tea and coffee, but we could bring a frying pan for cooking bacon, and sausages. Are any of the people camping going to be using a gas cooker? If so, we could bring a couple of pans, along with the kettle, and cater for the group.

[V70 Graham]

Brown sauce in my bacon buttie please !

[stribo]

You're on a diet:P Also JT doesn't need that much ballast in his car. ;)

Excellent, ideal weather for racing (I mean track time), and 0-60 sprint tests. :D

We did it every year we went to Ford Fair, and Trax, in fact had a disposable BBQ in 2009 at Ford Fair, in section 4 on the map, and melted the tarmac. lol

I see you are allowed on site from 6.30am, just wondering where do you intend to meet up before you go in and what time ?.

[stribo]

I see you are allowed on site from 6.30am, just wondering where do you intend to meet up before you go in and what time ?.

Now that's a question I can't answer. We're meeting up with Rich, Nat, and Sharkey locally, then meeting Graham and Aneemarie at Cherwell, then I assume we're going sttraight in. Have no idea on timings, or a meet point yet.

[LiamT4]

Excellent, ideal weather for racing (I mean track time), and 0-60 sprint tests. :D

[Santa]

I'm guessing we all have the same track time.(other than those going out more than once.)

Yep.................so you can all get stuck behind a slow car at the same time :P


received my tickets and 2 different area passes...........thanks
11.40 tack time too, time to kick some t5's asses lol

One is for Marie's Volvo on the VPCUK stand. The other is for your X5 if you are bringing it ;). (Track specific parking I think, at least you will be able to line up first).

Basically...........Trax forbids it..........there would likely need to be H&S audit and insurance declarations (which cost me every bloody time I have to make them) to allow such gas powered cooking devices if they were to allow it........for the record I like a bacon sandwich. (If not 2)


so i can't bring this?

http://static.neatorama.com/images/2006-06/hemi-powered-grill.jpg

Its not explicitly dis-allowed................................do I really have to check? lol


O.K., we'll just bring flasks for tea and coffee then. :D

Just ensure the H&S guidelines for the handling of hot liquids is followed!


Just been looking at the met office site says it will be dry on Sunday,but not much sun.
Starting to look like I better give the car a wash.

Yay :-)


I thought we'd be meeting up a bit closer to home, and convoying up there.
Easy either way...............as long as I get there first thing lol. (Loads to sort).

Is that because you didn't want to be embarrassed in the X5? ;)

[V70 Graham]

Is that because you didn't want to be embarrassed in the X5? ;)

I'd say a mapped X5 (even a diesel) would be fun round the track.

[claymore]

Just noticed the stand pass, couldn't be more appropriate :)

[V70 Graham]

t 5 ?

[claymore]

yes :)

[T5frankie]

I'd say a mapped X5 (even a diesel) would be fun round the track.

no its because i only want to bring one car and that will be the volvo mate, ive sold my track time, but will be a passenger, an x5 sport really handles well mate unlike the soft se models, and if its gonna be busy i dont want some little turnip bumping my motor

[JUDGENINJA]

So Campers... Do we need anything specific? I saw one of those bowl style fire places for £25 in a Homebase sale.. Shall I pick it up? Or are we planning to destroy another BBQ?

[danny-R]

I have an old barby I could bring. Its ready for the bin anyway

[Jamest5r]

Mole has a fire pit, Danny bring the bbq anyway better than those disposable ones

[danny-R]

Will do. Is anybody taking coal or do we need to get some? Is there plenty of wood?

[Jamest5r]

I've got the usual pile of wood I bring :)

[MoleT-5R]

firepit loaded and some wood, we may need more wood, depending on how late we go this year

[T5frankie]

What time you getting yo the campsite ill be going past it later on the way back from oxford

[danny-R]

Ive got a bit of wood. Setting off in hour or so having a slow drive down see you all there about 7ish

[danny-R]

Where would I stand bringing another passenger could he pay at the gate? Dont want him to get there and not be allowed, setting off just now and need to know before I set off.
cheers

[p fandango]

i've gave in to peer pressure & took Bonny to the Kos-o-wash

[claymore]

According to the info, if you haven't got your ticket, you will be charged at the gate, so I would say he can pay on the gate.

[y2blade]

cheers

I'd have thought so...is there a tel no you can ring and ask to be sure?
Edit: Colin found some info^^^^in the post above this one.

See you tomorrow Danny, have a good run down.

[stribo]

Yes, you can pay on the gate.

[JUDGENINJA]

So mine is going to be the dirtiest on show then....??

[V70 Graham]

So mine is going to be the dirtiest on show then....??

It's never too late to throw a bucket of water over it mate.

[stribo]

Haven't washed mine yet, and it's currently raining, so it's going to be touch and go whether it's done tonight, or when I get there in the morning.

So just to clear it up what time do we need to get on site by ?. 8 to 8.30 ok .

[JUDGENINJA]

As early as possible. If you're going to try 08:30 you'll already be in a 4mile tail back.

[p fandango]

I'm looking to get there for 6.30 when the gates open

Haven't washed mine yet, and it's currently raining, so it's going to be touch and go whether it's done tonight, or when I get there in the morning.

Washed mine this morning. Total waste of time been raining all afternoon.

It may make you look a bit strange, but as soon as it stops raining hose it all off and it should look fine.

[claymore]

Mine is covered in filler dust :(

[V70 Graham]

I'm off out now, hopefully the first camp site pictures will have been posted by the time I get in.

I half wondered that, the only volvo convoy I get is if the wifes in the other car. Sad times.

[Nealevo]

Had a fab day at TRAX, great company as usual and put some new faces to names, sorry if I never chatted to everyone, there was a lot of stunning cars on display as always, and a lot of entertainment on the track, smithy in the NA, JT for blowing up right in front of me, Judge for driving like a demon, stribo for killing his brakes at 100mph and Frankie looking petrified in a jap box.

Thanks Nat and Rich for all the organising and hassle that comes with it, but mainly for the cake.

Had a little play with the renault sport club on way home.

See you all next year

[ExternalError]

[Dangerous Dave]

Fabulous day (even with a bit of rain), great people, great cars, bring on Trax 2014!

[MoleT-5R]

[p fandango]

[Santa]

Thanks for those that have thanked me............really not necessary as I hardly did anything. (Signed a few forms and handed over my card number).

Thanks to all of those that came though :-)

Thanks to Churni and Jas for providing photography and video coverage, thanks to Chad for sorting out the Marquee and stuff, thanks to those that relayed tickets and helped set up the stand and thanks to Natalie (Pinup_Gal) who put in about 90-95% of the work over the last 8 months or so and whom without our participation at Trax wouldn't have happened. (Plus the cake, can't forget the cake! :) ).

I was supposed to take care of the weather and remember the banners, I forgot to do one and only half did the other lol.

[Volvostorm]

Thanks to all who helped in setting up the day, I had a great time at both Trax and the camping, can't wait for the next one!

[JT]

I forgot to say thanks to a few peeps.....

the Mrs ( for letting me work on the car most of the time)
Sam, (for all his hard work and computer skills)
T5 Stealth ( for being on the end of the phone when I got into trouble with the car)
Colin at Supatune, (For the mapping)
Bob at Haynes Dynotech ( for his patience when things went wrong on the dyno)
and Adam from Turbo Tuner ( went out of his way to help out and get everything working, I hope we didn't disrupt you weekend too much?)

without these guys I would not have made it to Trax at all.

:B_thumb::B_thumb:

I had a smashing evening even if it was a tad cold & a lovely day until the heavens opened. Great to see everyone - enjoyed the track stuff, particularly enjoyed meeting Adam & the Volvaxo, catching up with friends, browsing the stands & Nat's choccy cake.
