Had a great day last year I can still hear that Ferrari F40 I was lucky enough to be behind in the line, I can still see the faces of the Ford Focus boys as well  :signLOL:

Think I'm going to be away this year  :sad1:

Yeah, was an awesome day and did pretty well against some of the powerfull Scoobs and Evo's. But there were some VERY quick machines there Jonny and would love to of seen yours perform. But there was stuff there that would even make yours look slow belive it or not.. Cars running 6 seconds etc..  :surprised:

Ohh I can believe it for sure!! Did a run on mine and (obviously this is unofficial) it was sub 11 seconds.. Would do pretty well having looked at the results.. And theres lots more to come!  :pomppomp:

No-one realised yet that this is the same day as Ultimate Dubs show!! :rolleye:

I'd love to go to this, but have already committed to Ultimate Dubs. :smiley:

I doubt if I'd get near the 6 seconds as I think Ben did around 22 seconds last year.

Was a good day and like you said Ben, winds were a bit strong but hoping the Focus will do better this time, especially now the hybrid is fitted!

Interesting  :evilgrin:

May still be up for coming mate, as I know my old man is wanting to run his car (E60 M5) before he changes it in June. Plus my mate maybe interested in taking his S3 too.

Hi Guys,

Thanks to Shins for posting the 30-130 details here - you're all welcome on Sunday 14th March.  Some of you know how the day runs anyway, but for those who don't it's all included in the link.  BUT... please pay particular attention to these points;

- ANYONE coming to the event must have been security cleared by the RAF beforehand, so if you're even thinking of coming you must send me your details  as listed in the info by 12th February (please send to darin@lancerregister.com).  Please don't think you can book this the week before and rock up on the day because you won't get in.

- We are limited to a max of 60 cars, so any spectators must come with someone who is booked to take part in the event and I need their info too of course

- ALL cars need to have a fire extinguisher fitted before they're allowed to run

- ALL cars need to have an accessible towing eye in case they need recovery


Just to clarify a couple of points...

no cameras are allowed as its on an active military base mate  :happy2:

Personal photography will be allowed this time, but any video cameras need to be used inside the car as Marham need to minmise the risk of debris on the runway

and you have to sign all sorts of forms too........PITA!!!

You'll need to send me your details for security clearance to get on the base (see above) and just register at the gatehouse when you arrive, but the only form you have to sign is one indemnity the same as you would at a trackday, so it's not too intense! :wink:

And finally - Mechell and I will be out of the country from Sunday 24/1 to Tuesday 2/2, so please call to book either side of these dates.  I'll be trying to keep up with email but please be patient if you have any questions! :)

Think that's it from me - look forward to seeing some of you at Marham  :happy2:
