Several people at the DT meet today(from up here and Shropshire/Herefordshire) including myself expressed interest in a rolling road day, so what about a 'central' one. Where/when/who, and we'll see what can be sorted. I'd travel as far as the West Midlands or so for one.
Im up for it as the one i tried org didnt go too well lol.
[QUOTE=BIG G;629617]Im up for it as the one i tried org didnt go too well lol.[/QUOTE] My attempt might be a flop, but I'll try.
It's finding a place everyone's happy with, which seems to be impossible, and one that's 4wd which is a bit easier. I still think Jamsport is a good place for one, but I know others will disagree.

Northampton.
[QUOTE=stribo;629622]Northampton.[/QUOTE] I'd come that far for one. How many cars could be done in a day do you reckon?
When I went to the RS day they did over 30.
[QUOTE=stribo;629626]When I went to the RS day they did over 30.[/QUOTE] I don't think that we'd far short of that number. Did people disagree with going there cos of location?
The whole thread sort of fizzled out rather than people not wanting to go there. I think Big G lost heart with all the problems of trying to co-ordinate people.

[QUOTE=foammanmark;629664]I managed OK with the Wakefield RR day, but it's getting the number of definites needed to make the booking.[/QUOTE] Yeah, localised ones seem to be easier to organise, a 'central' one where you try to please everyone tends to be more of a problem, as everyone has a different opinion of where is central.

The location is good for East/West Mids, and suits you and hopefully other Southerners as well..............
We'll definitely come (date depending) as want the R back on their rollers to see what it's producing since the remap.
[QUOTE=stribo;629686]We'll definitely come (date depending) as want the R back on their rollers to see what it's producing since the remap.[/QUOTE] Same here. Since having Chad's Rica map fitted last week, I'd like to know what power's going down.
i'd do jamsport, might be getting them to do my engine build
[QUOTE=T5frankie;629695]i'd do jamsport, might be getting them to do my engine build[/QUOTE] Down t'road for you, so I took you as a def without even asking.
[QUOTE=foammanmark;629697]Down t'road for you, so I took you as a def without even asking.[/QUOTE] its a tiny little place though
[QUOTE=stribo;629686]We'll definitely come (date depending) as want the R back on their rollers to see what it's producing since the remap.[/QUOTE] 292bhp lol
to far away for me. im not traveling to the deep south. would cost me a fortune
[QUOTE=graemewelch;629703]to far away for me. im not traveling to the deep south. would cost me a fortune[/QUOTE] i drove to yorkshire for one last year
[QUOTE=graemewelch;629703]to far away for me. im not traveling to the deep south. would cost me a fortune[/QUOTE] Deep South Graeme? Probably about the same for you as me cos I've got to travel over to the M1.
[QUOTE=T5frankie;629698]its a tiny little place though[/QUOTE] But plenty of road to park on. ;)
[QUOTE=T5frankie;629707]i drove to yorkshire for one last year[/QUOTE] im still a hour away from yourkshire
[QUOTE=stribo;629723]But plenty of road to park on. ;)[/QUOTE] that road is rough as ££££ down there
[QUOTE=foammanmark;629711]Deep South Graeme? Probably about the same for you as me cos I've got to travel over to the M1.[/QUOTE] bet its still at least a 3 hr drive each way. to far just for a day. even more so when money is tight
[QUOTE=graemewelch;629736]bet its still at least a 3 hr drive each way. to far just for a day. even more so when money is tight[/QUOTE] put your toe down and you'll get there quicker.......!
[QUOTE=T5frankie;629734]that road is rough as ££££ down there[/QUOTE] Not much worse than the road outside Power Engineering, just don't drive like a tw@t and you'll be fine. ;)
[QUOTE=stribo;629741]Not much worse than the road outside Power Engineering, just don't drive like a tw@t and you'll be fine. ;)[/QUOTE] especially if there are old bill at the end of the road lol
[QUOTE=T5frankie;629738]put your toe down and you'll get there quicker.......![/QUOTE] i ouldnt afford the fuel at minute. £72 a week dosnt got far enough
I've requested all the info. for an RR day from Jam-Sport so we'll see what comes back.
[QUOTE=T5frankie;629734]that road is rough as ££££ down there[/QUOTE] Most are.
Had a reply from Jam-Sport saying that 20 is usually the maximum running in a day @ £45.00/car reducing slightly dependent on the numbers. Available dates Sept. 7/21/28th and Oct. 5th but all Saturdays. What do you think on the date etc peeps?

Oct 5th is the only good one for me.
i can put the old smoker on though, see what torque its pulling really
[QUOTE=T5frankie;629738]put your toe down and you'll get there quicker.......![/QUOTE] pmsl....naughty Mr Frankie
Provided it wasnt a million miles away I'd defo attend as I'd like to see what sort of power figure I'm starting with.
I know it's not central but the Dyno at Motorsport Developments in Blackpool is something to admired.... http://www.youtube.com/user/Motorsportdevelop
[QUOTE=stephenevans99;630630]I know it's not central but the Dyno at Motorsport Developments in Blackpool is something to admired.... http://www.youtube.com/user/Motorsportdevelop[/QUOTE] It does look like a good set up.....but maybe not a great location for everybody. http://www.motorsport-developments.co.uk/index.html I think what we have to do is decide on a venue and date and take it from there.
5th October would be good for us.
If we use the one in Blackpool, we can make a weekend of it, with the lights and amusements and candyfloss and the donkeys and the golden beach and crystal clear water...... sorry i got carried away.

https://www.facebook.com/Dynodaze/info is another option and it is in a fairly central location. I've been there to spectate on a couple of occasions. Its a small unit with nothing but a rolling road in it. Only £30 to run and the guys there are sound. Its a 2wd Vtech machine though so don't know how that compares to maha, dynojet, etc.
It would probably have to be 4wd to keep everyone happy.
Like graham said would need to be 4wd rr, im flexi on dates so whenever! Jus hope everyone can agree on one location (mission impossible) lol.
Don't forget about r-tech in hinckly, leicestershire, which is a 4wd dyno.
[QUOTE=LiamT4;631219]Don't forget about r-tech in hinckly, leicestershire, which is a 4wd dyno.[/QUOTE] Can't get any more central than these...... :B_thumb:
[QUOTE=stephenevans99;631224]Can't get any more central than these...... :B_thumb:[/QUOTE] Think its near the dnyo-daze place, but more suitable because of the 4wd dyno........and it doesn't have a stupid name.
Its the unit next door! [QUOTE=LiamT4;631240]Think its near the dnyo-daze place, but more suitable because of the 4wd dyno........and it doesn't have a stupid name.[/QUOTE]
is someone going to check out r-tech and organise a date... lets get it sorted... I'd be up for coming :)
Id make it to r tech if goes ahead lol
