Dave,

Can we confirm that this will be going ahead??? Just got back from TOTB 7 last night and i now realise how long a journey this is going to be for me, needless to say im going to book a hotel near the Barkston Heath as i will be driving for 5+ hours to get there and the same for the way back home!!!

Jason

Looking likely. I still need more people to make it 100% though...........several LOCers still not confirmed

Cool, let me know when it becomes 100% as i want to book up the hotel asap!

thanks Dave,

J

id love to say yes.

but

not quite sure what im doing start of november...yet

do the cars have to be road legal

how strict are they on the noise levels, ...if it passes sound test, could it somehow get louder later

when is the absolute cut off date to know

No MOT req'd

105 db

no increase in noise levels

if you pay and its cancelled you get a full refund.............if you pay and can't make it its tough pooh pooh

Is it ok to come an Specate Dave as I live 5mins away but would not be racing.

Any update if this is still a goer Dave?

@ JAE Janey was saying they have put the price up and you need more people?

Any updates? I want to come

I also need to know updates as i need to book a hotel!?!?!?

any news???

posted on behalf of Dave


this event is still on

there was some confusion with numbers attending
the organisers decided to increase the amount by 15 !
they have now backed down and it is all go, subject to filling the last places

this Saturday is the deadline for putting your money and names down
confirmation will be announced soon after


if you want to book a hotel, try and choose one that offers a full refund if cancelled (most do ! )

roll up roll up................

Mr + Mrs Hill wanting to go to Dave, will make 100% sure tomorrow

thanks....................boxster fun !

Yes indeed German rubbish

I will let you know (and pay!) by Friday! Can I bring a passenger with me?

Afraid it will be more "German Rubbish" I will be bringing, considering the track has no long straight.

hi

no problem Anees (passengers)

I was waiting on a reply from a few friends that initially showed interest, but since we have missed the deadline anyway, I suppose I am OUT Sorry!

can sqeeze you in anees

hello, i would like to come to this event!!!!on the 2nd of oct
but how do i pay up and could i please get more info on the track like the address and is that a web site?

thanks

all payment details should be in the first post. You will be more than welcome.

Barkston Heath is near Grantham in Lincolnshire.

Company who are doing it are called Javelin track days if you google that you'll see evn more info.

Its a good day out

Just a Q.

How is this a LOC SPRINT DAY

when only about 4 members from LOC are attending (with there Lexus cars)

The intention was for it to be a LOC day but if LOC people don't/can't come I have spread the word to get more cars involved to keep the event going.

Will you be gracing us with your presence in your car ? No MOT required

nope...i cant make it, i will be flying out to warmer climes around that date

i have edited the topic title, to Open Sprint Day

hope you have a good day.....even if i would have been available i would have done the Drift Event @ Norfolk Arena on the 7th



unfortunately i cannot get the noise down to 105db....it runs, around 110db even with Bung and Cat back on

Theres 8 LOC members attending as it stands

i can only count 4 Lexus, in the list.....

the key really is in the name....Lexus OWNERS Club

splitting hairs now though arnt we really......

it is a shame that only 4 Lexus cars will be attending, but 4 is better than 0
a lexus owners club member is a member even if they dont own a Lexus, as far as i am aware we dont ban members when they sell up
we have some very worthwhile ex owners still as members

You said Members from LOC originally not Lexus cars from LOC.

Whose splitting hairs?




I would attend but my new stuff wont be done in time (clutch, timing belt, few other little projects)

thanks for letting me know that......and thanks for splitting the hair further, it was a tongue in cheek comment,(notice the winking Smillie...etc) however as we are now delving further.

if an event is advertised as a lexus owners club sprint day, some...possibly most would pressume it will be lexus cars wallowing around the track, not a couple of lexus, a big scoop of Toyotas a bmw, and audi or any other brand, the event then in effect becomes an open event

the issue is not who is past or present members....

it is a shame that only 4 cars turn up.....but we have been on this trip before where something is organised for the benifit of the CLUB, but we always have to open it up to other clubs, becuase the take up is slow, minimal or non existant

thanks



yes..i am..(hence the WE....i.e me and you...).i also did a few well placed , indicating im not really being pedantic, just making a subtle point.

i thought, that it was obvious from the subtle point i was making that, i was implying the numbers of cars...with members driving them, (at best being Lexus Models) however to save on what is emerging as utter confusion about what i was implying, Ive edited my post to show...(with there Lexus cars)

lets get back on topic....as, i really do, hope its a good event, good events encourage others to attend.


(Ailes de pigeon, bow down....Allongé...and exit stage left)

i am coming now!!!!!

could someone like give me a post code for it please?

and its now 5 lexus....if altezza counts!!!!!

Map click Satellite to give a real world birds eye view

Here are some directions from the A1 at Grantham.

You are entering Grantham.
Follow the B1174 for 0.4 miles.
Leave B1174 and turn right into Bridge End Road (A52). Stay on for 0.93 miles.
You just left Grantham.
Leave Bridge End Road (A52) and head straightforward onto Somerby Hill (A52). Stay on for 1.55 miles.
Leave Somerby Hill (A52) and turn left into High Dyke (B6403). Stay on for 3.85 miles.. Leave High Dyke (B6403) and turn left into Heath Lane.
Stay on for 0.41 miles.
You have arrived at your destination Heath Lane.

DO NOT try and enter by any other route. You will only end up upsetting the MOD Guards (not wise) and the local population. Possibly putting the future of motorsport on the venue in jeopardy.

NOTE. There is NO POSTCODE as the entry is a Guard Post over 1.5 miles from the nearest RAF Admin Building. Forget Sat Nav you will have to read a map.

i think reading a map is great...but dangous when driving at silly speed on unresisable twisty b roads!!!!

well, then its simple ......

dont drive at silly speeds, save it for when you get to the track

Dave..........Mr + Mrs Hill will not be going to this now, as thay will be on holiday in Spain

Completely agree with you Mat, i was one of the original people to sign up actually bringing a lexus and im a little disapointed in the amount of lexus turning out! Im yet to attend a track day in my lexus but signed up as i thought i would be with quite a few in the same position, now im one of the few actually taking a Lexus

Don't get me wrong im sure it will be a great day but im going to be less willing to sign up in future

Jason

may be some more lexi turning up.............

Add me please!
