LMC Goodwood Track Day - 31st March 2018 - Easter Saturday

Goodwood Trackday Saturday 31 March 2018

Sorry we are late!

After a torrid time over the last couple of months whilst the committee has been trying to get a better deal from Goodwood, we have finally bitten the bullet and accepted their terms for this year. This involves a 20% price hike but will includes free unlimited tea/coffee and a sandwich lunch per entrant. We tried to get this 'hospitality package' removed but to no avail. The club has managed to break even on this event for the past two years and has decided to limit the price increase to entrants to £25 for this year. This will result in the club subsidising the event to the tune of about £1000 if we get a full entry. So please please come and support your club by entering.

The event is  designed for all members and their friends who would like to drive a little quicker than today's current overcrowded roads allow and to let their cars demonstrate just how able they are. To this effect  we will be running cars in groups of just eight. On a 98dBA sound limit  day we could run ten cars but the formula of eight really does work for us, with plenty of empty track available to all plus enough track time available for even the keenest to be well satisfied with the mileage they can put in.

An entry form* is attached to this posting, all members will also receive an email copy of this message with the application Form.

We have trialled half day sessions over the last few years to give owners the chance to sample a trackday and hope that those who took advantage will want to book a full day this year. We are offering this option again this year, so a chance to try something new perhaps at a bargain price!

The day is also an important social event for members and no entry fee is charged for spectators. However a donation to the club coffers of £5 for your days entertainment would be appreciated and a pot will be available for this purpose in the pavilion.

Enter early or you may miss out
 
Enjoy Lancia

Hurrah!

I was going to do this one but the car is too noisy

I was going to do this one but the car is too noisy   

Can you not stick a DB slayer on it?

[Thurbs]

Currently:

107dB with group A exhaust. We put one of those contraptions on with the group A and it brought it down to 105dB and made the car very slow!
103dB with Evo exhaust. Might get to 101dB or 100dB.

98dB is production car quiet and it is never going to be that low.

The other option is to pay, turn up, fail the static test ask for a track side test. It would be an expensive day if that failed that also plus they are not obliged to do the track side test either.

I am planning on doing this event in my Fulvia, I have two "bombs" that i use on my porsche they reduce db from about 105 down to 98db on my track 993. they have universal fitment, happy to lend them to you if you want?

[Thurbs]

Thanks for the offer. I have a horrible evo exhaust tip at the moment which is oval shaped. We intend to hack it off over the winter and just have the 3" pipe sticking out. I might try also shoving some more material in to the back box and see if that helps.

As a matter of interest, what will you stuff the box with to quiten it down, reason for asking is that had a new ss back box supplied by Omicron about 10 years ago for my Fulvia 2c, that has gradually got louder, and i now need to do something about it, unfortunately Omicon's supplier is no longer in business so bang goes the warranty.

What is the condition of the box? If there is no rust it shoul be a simple enough job.

Thanks for that Richard, the box being stainless steel is in excellent condition, so either of these should do the trick, just need someone who can cut and weld stainless for me.

Brian, find a company who manufacture catering equipment. We have used one local to us to weld SS bumpers etc in the past.

Dear reader,

Fascinating how threads develop!

Now back to the knitting!

We just have all day and morning sessions available now. It's very heartening to see how many members have entered so far. They will be joined by a good collection of Alfas, a couple of Maseratis plus a smattering of other marques. So to keep the domination of Lancia please enter soon or it may be too late!

Enjoy Lancia
