New Track - RAF Wittering Oakham Nr, Peterborough with Javelin

I’ve just booked in for this one so that’s another MX-5 on the list!! Yay!

Also queried ID reqs for RAF and Colin Jebson has confirmed that your nromal Driving Licence (also reqd to sign on anyway) will suffice so passport can stay at home!

Cheers, Ian

Nice One Ian, That makes 6 of us now. Looking like an MX5 exclusive.

I am seeing Colin on Sunday and was going to ask him about the ID but you have cleared that one up.

See you at the wheel alignment day.

 HI Guys

Have just checked the Javelin Web site, can’t find the form that Chez mentioned. Do you mean the form to register??

Cheers

Paul

Hi Paul

I think they will contact you nearer the time for the details.

Kevin

 

 I am going down to watch you guys throw your 5s around, a bit of a busmans holiday for me, as I work there.Looking forward to the day.

Not long to this now, there is 7 MX5s booked in so far, so should be good fun with similar cars, any more of you going to join us?

Better get my car back together

Ken

I’m very tempted by this as I gave Snetterton a miss today. Trying to get some tyres sorted before I put my name down.

 

Nice one, be great if you can

Ken

Snetterton was great today - still got overtaken by a ma5da racing car but his cornering was better even though I could leave him down the straights!

Dry morning but very wet afternoon but day was v quiet so great track space and time! Melted one set of HT leads by 11am but am now ready for Wittering now!

 Hi Guys

Well its getting closer, got the form sent to me today (thanks Kev) have filled in, going to do a few checks on the car tomorrow and then Im ready to go!!! Stick Tongue Out

Not seen the layout yet though, are we still meeting at the lay-by, looks like we have a drivers brief @ 9.15am. Do we still think 6.30 is about right? Lets keep our fingers crossed for good weather.

Paul

 Yer not long now, better get my finger out

Where’s this lay-by meeting point then pls?

I’m bring a mate to have a go at driving too so as I’m going to have no room for my big tool box on the passenger seat as normal, maybe we need a joined up team effort on tools to be transported??? I can still obviously use the boot but it seems a bit daft me taking a trolley jack and axle stands in there if someone else also does?

Cheers, Ian

 Hi Ian

I hear what you are saying, the lay-by is on the Norwich Bypass between junction going to Lowestoft/Poringland (still on the bypass) and the Ipswich turn off I think its the one just before the road dips down ( Kev correct me if Im wrong) I suggest a time of 6.45am, this seem ok guys??

With regards to tools, I know that Peter is taking a trolley Jack, I have a couple of axel stands if required. I shall take a torque wrench, small amount of spare fluids and small tools, spanners etc, but thats about it. Also don’t forget some food.

Paul

 

 

Mmmm, that’s the layby just before I join from the A140 (Ipswich Rd) so I’ll have to stop in the one afterwards, before the A11 turn off.

I hope Javelin have a burger van going but will stop into Tesco before joining the A47!

If we have a trolley jack and axle stands, plus some smaller tools, i’ll just take some spare parts and a few extra tools just to top us up!

Andy maybe a chair or two is in order and a table??? Doubt there will be much else there?!

 I also have a couple of fold up chairs, if I have room I will bring them as well.

Paul

Makes no sense to stop twice so why don’t we all meet in the layby just after the A140 Junction at 06:30 then Ian can meet us there.

 

 

Sounds like a plan!

Ken

 Ok I’ll go for that. Hey Ken have you got your car sorted yet?? Looking forward to it, weather doesn’t look too bad either. Cool

I’m hoping I might be able to tag along. Spoke to Javelin and I still have time to book my place. I just need to sort my tyres out. Got 3.5mm on the back on my Firestones but I have some Toyo’s on different wheels which I don’t have any time left to swap over. :frowning:

Bring the spare set with you, one in th boot, two on the front seat and the other behind the front seat. It’s what Ken and I do.

Be great if you can join us.

Kevin
