RR and RWYB day? 17-18th October - Northampton and Avon Park - Taking money for RR on the 17th
Turbo Mini Forums

Anybody fancy doing this?

With the new job i know have some time to be able to sort something out.

The weekend i have in mind is 17-18th October giving plenty of people time (me!) to get sorted.

I cant make any of the regular events due to work.

The plan is a RR session saturday, mag featured type thing, followed by RWYB sunday to compare readings to times once and for all.

The place i had in mind for the RR was northampton motorsport and the RWYB, avon park with camping and a bbq somewhere between the two, or nearer avon park.

I guess max numbers for the RR is 20 and i'm sure a mag would love to feature some of the cars on here. Payment for the RR would be up front but this isnt usually much, then RWYB is sort yourselves type thing. I'm sure we could find a camp site that would take all of us.

Any takers?

My engine will be ready to run, in whatever i have it in!

i would be into it, but totally understand if you wish to make the numbers out the a-series boys first, or exclusively a-series regardless :)

Ideally what i'm looking for is to get all the highpower A series at one RR session for the mag. We've never managed it yet though!

We would be interested.

It would be a good reason to get the Miglia finished. If not I should have the 998 Turboed.

It might be an idea to do the 1/4 mile times at Bruntonthorpe. After attending the 5 port day, it seems an ideal place to test our cars out without having to queue for ages. Some of the 1/4 mile times were quicker than on the strip, so it definitely wouldn't be any disadvantage on the times.

It was quite expensive, so would need a fair few people to make it affordable. I know Matt seemed quite keen on another day out there.

There is also a circuit there so could also time the lap times!

1/4mile in 13.2sec @ 111 terminal on 15psi

I'd be up for that!!

Car will be finished in the coming weeks, October might be the right time after a turbo change aswell.

well the plan is to beat the highest average for the miniworld power test, currently 99.63bhp.

If we can get a few at double that we'll have a good chance to keep the crown!

i'd be up for this, but mine is not exactly high powered!..but was part of the 2nd highest average in miniworld.

Can we start a list with name, brief engine spec (i.e. head/block config) for all those interested. Then once we have enough, we'll see how we go and i'll make some calls

so to start

Iain - 5 port turbo - All A series - 150+

Matty, good idea.

Matt W - any idea on cost/numbers needed?

Other thing is, i guess for matt W, is it miniworld, or mini mag you cover? I.e. which shall i contact and who?

I have details for miniworld out the mag but i want to get this setup ASAP.

I'd be up for it, if you run out of a-series cars.

As mine is nearly done.....ish!

This is FORD country, on a quiet day you can hear Vauxhalls rusting.

I will be up for this! Northampton Motorsport is supposed to be good fro what I hear!

Could I/we bring the metro van for it's final day out before it gets torn apart for a full rebuild?

It's A series - stage 3 1275 etc

Oh yeah the cost was about £600 I believe for the whole day. So 20 people would be about £30 each.

Iain - 5 port turbo - All A series - 150+
Matty - 16v turbo - *cough* A series - hoping to improve on 145bhp with the extra 10psi of boost. :)

richminiturbo - 5 port 1293 turbo - 150+

so roughly £50 for a RR power run and then a bash at 1/4miles and track time! bargain!!

just hope for once we can get all the contenders in one place as we havent managed it yet to really see where everyones cars lie on an even playing field (RR and 1/4!)

I'll be up for this is Normaly aspirated is allowed , i'll probably be the slowest on the day but it should still break the 100bhp when the crank is fixed
