Title: Blyton Park - 4th August
Post by: Hurdy on July 15, 2012, 05:07:36 pm
Anyone fancy it?

Club Polo have done a block booking for a discount and it is £79 for members and £99 for non-members.

The morning is an open pit lane and the afternoon is timed laps for a bit of friendly competition.

If you do fancy it get yourself over to the link below. :happy2:

If you are a paying member of club Polo then it is £79 ( only costs £5 to join).

You would have to pay £99 if you aren't a member.

You also ought to be booking ASAP as Mark doesn't know how much longer he can keep the reduced price for.

Steve Jr is coming in the uber ED30 too, so it should be fun. Get yourself booked Mike :happy2:

You can pay on the day Steve, but I think it is £119?

You must be struggling to get around without a head!  :laugh:

I'll take you car if you like, TC?

I'll also line us all up on the track and we'll recreate the 100m, forum style. I may barf a lung though.

Hurdy would only cheat, and inject himself with Nitrous  :booty:, SteveP would get himself trailored to the start line,   :booty: TFSI Mike would just modify every last part on his body and turn up as Ussain Bolt.  :rolleye:

Steve Jr cannot make this now, but he has paid and anyone who wants his place can have a full day track day for £50. Just let me know and I can arrange it. This Saturday isn't far away now!

Hahaa,  not many pics as I was on track for the most part and so I'll have to trawl the other forums for any track pics.

I was very happy with how the Little Polo performed, with the only proviso that next time out I really do need an aftermarket oil cooler. The front fogs will be sacrificed to sort this. The water methanol came into it's own as once it ran out on my third outing the oil temps got another 5oC higher within half a lap.....and Blyton isn't that long a track!!

I was really surprised how the Polo held it's own against all the stripped out cars and trailored track weapons too. The MX5's were relatively easy meat and even the Caterhams were only holding up on the twisty sections. It has inspired me to push a little further again. :jumpmove:
