[mechell]

Mechell,

I have just added a friend (and all his details) as a passenger in my car to my previous details on MLR. How do I know if this will be confirmed?  

Ron,

This is Darin logged in as Chell - what's Username have you booked and registered under, and what's your friends name???  Both Chell and I are out of the office today at a funeral, so we'll look at the this asap, but likely to be late tonight or tomorrow.

Hi Darin,

My username on MLR is Vtec Abuser and my friends name is Simon Newborn. I have 2 cars registered under that user name (me - 135i and my dad's - C63 AMG) and my friend is registered under my car (Ben).

Thanks for sorting this and I hope today goes as well as it can.

Hi Ben,

Thanks - looks like we have all your details for you, Peter and Simon :)

Cheers,

Looks to be a good mix of cars on the Sunday, bring it on!

[chungster]

Oooh didn't realise the Scooby boys have entered!

Watch out for P20SPD and Andy F. Close on 2000bhp combined them 2.

[JMerrie]

May sneak in for this event!! 

[Sunglasses Ron]

Think I need to advertise this event on the BM forums next year..  Far to many bloody Audis..  

Watch out for P20SPD and Andy F. Close on 2000bhp combined them 2.

Hopefully Andy F can keep his doors attached to the car this year..

Hi,

Earlier today I received the regrettable news that the RAF have had to postpone the forthcoming 30-130 weekend due to operational requirements.  Here is a brief statement from Sgt George Denman at RAF Marham:

"Darin,  I'm sorry to advise that the MLR 30-130 event planned for the 23rd/24th March will need to be moved to the 10th/11th August.  I can’t go in to specific details as to the reasons for the postponement but please rest assured that we at RAF Marham do not take the decision to postpone lightly.  I’ve had many meetings/arguments and I’m content that all the powers that be have tried their best to prevent this.  August is looking good with a good two weeks safety gap either side should something slip.   
 
I realise that plans have been made and this will be an issue for some but we’d rather move the event to August than not have the MLR event at all. Many thanks for sticking with us and I hope that all your members can make it to the new August dates."


For those of you who have attended 30-130 before will know, this is always a possibility due to RAF Marham being an active airbase and I'm sure you'll all understand this is completely out of our control and governed by much larger issues. We are exceptionally fortunate to be able to use the runway as there is nowhere else commercially available which offers the same facility, and although I accept it's unfortunate news, I'd like to thank George and RAF Marham's management for doing everything they can before taking the decision to postpone, but also finding another weekend in their busy operational schedule to enable us to run the event later in the year. 
 
 
What do you need to do now?
 
If you CANT attend the new dates:   please let us know asap (but before 30 June at the latest) so we can make the place available to others and refund you.
 
If you CAN attend the new dates:  just pencil the 10th and 11th August into your diary and we'll look forward to seeing you at RAF Marham in the Summer.
 
We will post this announcement on all forums and let people know if there are any places available shortly, and when they'll be available to book through the MLR Shop.

Again sorry for the news, but let's look forward to August!


Darin

Gutted!!!

Nightmare. Was G'd right up for this.

Due to the date change to August 11th – we are getting a couple of cancellations through. GOOD NEWS for anyone who missed out on the original date!! :D   Places are now up in the MLR shop –   http://www.lancerregister.com/store_category.php?id=13  bookings will close on 19th July – and that is also the LAST DATE for getting all the security information to us (see instructions in post #1)


If anyone needs to cancel their original booking – you need to let us know by 29th June latest (please email darin@lancerregister.com or mechell@lancerregister.com) to get your refund.  After that date, the usual cancellation policy will kick in.

[mechell]

Quick reminder guys - there are a few places available due to some not being able to make the new date!!

DATE CHANGED TO AUGUST 10th

To all drivers - you must register all details for yourself and your passengers here:  http://www.lancerregister.com/mlr_30130register.php


Thanks as always to RAF Marham, I’m very pleased to confirm the MLR's 30-130 event will be held on Saturday 23rd March 2013 (or Sunday 24th March for the ‘all-marque’ day).

“30-130” is the best opportunity for you to understand the REAL performance of your Evo! This isn't a standing start, but a rolling start from below 30mph after which you have approx 1.5miles of straight ultra smooth tarmac to pass 130mph - or carry on for a top speed run.

There's no running order so you can run when you want (subject to the queue - which we get through as quickly as possible!) The average number of timed runs is approx 5 or 6, but we've seen some drivers do 15+ runs.  You’re welcome to do a run without a VBox (or use your own if you have one) to bypass the queue and go straight out, but only data from the MLR's calibrated VBoxes being used on the day will be used in the results.

The current 30-130 record is still held by RossW in his Evo6 in a time of 5.84s.


Please read ALL the following information carefully, paying particular attention to the Registration & Security Clearance requirements below;


NEW ONLINE REGISTRATION & SECURITY CLEARANCE

ALL DRIVERS & SPECTATORS MUST HAVE SECURITY CLEARANCE BEFORE BEING ALLOWED ON SITE.

To ensure we don’t have a reoccurrence of the 2012 entry problems, there will be a [COLOR="blue"]new online form for 2013 that all drivers must complete for themselves and their passengers[/COLOR] (maximum of 4 passengers per driver). 

• This form will only be available after you have booked your place
• All drivers need to be registered on the MLR forum as the online form will be linked to the forum. This can be done here: http://www.lancerregister.com/mlr_30130register.php 
  
• Additional drivers should be registered as a passenger

Entries will be available via the MLR  MLR Shop from Monday 7th January 2013

Online registration forms will also be available from 7th January, and all forms need to be completed by 28th February 2013 

Everyone - without exception - needs to complete a Registration Form details regardless of whether you have been security cleared for previous events, have clearance to work on this station, or are serving RAF personnel etc.   If you miss the deadline and do not register you will not be able to attend as you will not receive security clearance.


[COLOR="red"]30-130 EVENT:[/COLOR]

• We’ll use the full length of the 1.5 mile / 60m wide runway of super smooth tarmac
• All cars will be fitted with a Racelogic V-Box in front of the MLR unit to record your car's performance
• Cars will run one at a time and must start each run within the designated area for that run to count
• After completing a “30-130 run” drivers have the option to complete a top speed run if they wish. This is not compulsory but you may not have a better, safer and legal way to find out your car’s top speed
• The next car will be released when the previous car has passed the halfway mark on the runway
• You must brake at the braking markers to ensure you don’t overrun the end of the runway and risk damaging the airfield infrastructure
• Once the car has returned to the Paddock and the VBox has been removed, your 30-130 time and Top Speed result (if applicable) will be displayed at the MLR unit as soon as Dave has downloaded the data from your run

EVENT TIMETABLE:

• 07:30 - Gates open. (DO NOT stop at the Guardroom - go straight through to the first barrier checkpoint. You MUST show your Photo ID on the day or you’ll be turned away)
• 07:45 - Driver and Passenger Registration / Car number and wristband collection
• 08:30 - Drivers briefing (mandatory)
• 09:00 – Sighting lap
• 09:30 – Event start
• 12:30 – Lunchbreak
• 13:00 – Event restart
• 16:00 – Event close

HOW TO BOOK:

Places can be booked from 7th January 2013 via the MLR Shop.

• Car and driver: £99   
• Additional drivers: £59 (pay on the day)
• Passengers: £10 (pay on the day)

Note:  Bookings close on 28th February 2013


ADDITIONAL INFO:

Drivers:
All drivers must have full UK driving licence

Photo ID:
ALL drivers and passengers must bring photographic ID on the day to be allowed into the venue (no photographic ID = no entry)

Fire Extinguishers:
ALL cars must have a fire extinguisher fitted - preferably in an easy to reach place, eg: in front of the passenger seat. This will be checked on the day and any cars without extinguishers will not be allowed to run

Corner Weights:
We will have our corner weights at the event as usual, so if you want to corner weigh your car you can do so anytime during the day. This will be managed the service and direct you onto the ramps and the scales. Readings will be recorded and can be taken with and without the driver

Helmets:
Helmets must be worn by all occupants - drivers and front seat passengers

Noise Limit:
Noise from motorsport has now become an issue for RAF Marham. Although it’s understood that running a single car at 30-130 is not the same as running numerous cars together at a trackday, noise monitoring will take place on the day if required but they will be as lenient as possible. We are not allowed unsilenced exhaust systems. The static noise limit is 105dBA (measured at ½ metre, 45 deg, ¾ revs)

Rear Spoilers:
For reasons of safety, cars must retain their rear spoilers and blade, unless fitted with a carbon bootlid or similar which does not allow for a rear spoiler

Vortex Generators and Trim:
Debris of ANY type on the runway is the single biggest concern at RAF Marham. Aftermarket VGs and other trim have a tendency to come off when travelling at over 130mph, so all VGs will need to be taped front and back to ensure they stay on the car. If it’s not done when you come to collect your VBox we will do it for you!

Towing Eyes:
It is your responsibility to have a towing eye or strap fitted and/or accessible on the day in case you need to be recovered. The RAF recovery crew are experienced and will treat your car like their own, but they have to be able to return your car to the paddock, so please make their life as easy as possible whilst also removing the risk of damage to your car

Passengers:
Only front seat passengers are allowed and must be 16 years old or over. There is a small charge of £10 for passengers on the day

Refreshments:
Food & drink (burgers, bacon rolls, coffee etc) will be managed by the RAF who will be based in the ’30-130 paddock’

Litter:
It is ABSOLUTELY IMPERATIVE that no litter or cigarette ends are dropped anywhere other than a bin. Failure to observe this very simple rule seriously jeopardises us being invited back, so please use the bins provided (or your pockets!).  Anyone seen dropping litter will be escorted offsite

Spectators:
All spectators must come with drivers already booked in – a maximum of 4 per vehicle – and have been registered by the driver they are attending with on the day.  All spectators must also bring photographic ID with them on the day or they won’t be allowed in

Volunteers:
We need a handful of people to help with putting the V-Boxes in the cars and changing over memory cards throughout the day, so please PM me or Mechell if you’re interested in helping and include your email address

Video Cameras:
All video cameras must be securely mounted internally via suction mount or bolted to a rollcage. No hand held cameras are allowed. All footage must be for personal use only – eg: not uploaded to YouTube, forums etc

Photography:
Due to the extremely sensitive nature of the venue, cameras are only permitted for personal use, eg: photos cannot be posted on forum or websites. No professional or commercial photography is allowed

Marshals & Emergency Cover:
The event will be fully marshalled and include Medical and Fire Cover

Rides:
30-130 wouldn’t happen without the help of the RAF volunteers who marshal and support the event– all of whom are petrolheads and would sell their sister (or brother) for the chance to own the cars attending the day. If you’re happy to give them a ride we will give you a sticker for your windscreen so the guys know they can jump in with you sometime during the day. Thanks in advance from me - it's good to be able to give something back

Reserves:
If places sell out before the deadline a reserve list will be started (we will need your name, email and phone details) and any places that become available offered to reserves in order

Cancellations:
Please tell Mechell or Darin if you cannot attend for any reason. Please DO NOT post on the Forum offering your place to someone else as we need to manage the entry list for security purposes and they won’t have registered. Please be aware of the MLR's Cancellation Policy

Sunday 24th March– All Marque 30-130 Day
If for any reason you can’t attend the MLR 30-130 day on Saturday, we will be running another for all other marques on Sunday which you’d be welcome to book. Same details and costs apply

Last but not least:
A huge thankyou to George, his staff and the RAF Marham Station Commander who continue to make this event possible.

[mechell]
