BRILLIANT DAY!!! Loved it!
I get a shiver down my spine when I see the bulkhead removed and the fan kept. I see carbon monoxide, and fuel being thrown into the cabin. Seriously guys, if you're going to do that get your cabin air from somewhere else.Quote:

Good days, friday night was good before my stupid cold kicked in, saturday felt really crap, dunno how I managed to drive home, had planned on staying Saturday night too :rolleyes: just my lusk as ever, if it can go wrong, it will.
Everyone laughed at my Rover when I turned up on Friday night, bit of a comical car:D. I had an air bed in the boot but by the time I went to bed it had gone flat. I froze my bollocks off in the back wih all my clothes on and two blankets. I had a mingin hangover on Saturday and apparently kept drifting off while people were talking to me:laugh:
Knocked it off with the weather guys ,looked like it was a top day ,track action looked great fun :agree: Im guessing the day went smoothly ,was there any track casualties ?
Keep the pics and videos coming guys looked like there was some really nice cars on show :cool:
who were the prize winners?
here a cpl of links to pics that were on cliosport

I had a great weekend even though I had a few niggles with the alternator belt coming loose a couple of times (until I double nutted it) and the minor annoyance of a major blow out of the right hand rear tyre! (Thanks for the loan of your car to get the new tyres Shop Boy!) :)
A split water pipe on the last lap of the last session has meant she is coming home on a recovery truck but Phatty did me proud completing over 100 miles on track flat out up to 7k revs with awesome brakes and pretty good handling too.
I missed a couple of hours of track time but am now convinced I need a pure track car again as I really miss the old red racer.
Thanks to Miller and the crew for the day but next time can we have the chicanes added as 5's are built for corners! ;)
Good to see all the usual suspects and a few new faces.:cool:
Well finally bodged the water system in the end, so got it going got about 10 miles into the journey and then started loosing oil, the engine mount which snapped, went through the water jacket and into the oil system. :sad2:Quote:

i also remember seeing the addy of their website/forum on one of the cars
but cant remember what it was :confused:
fricking ace weekend, spent nearly all day on track, sorry to those who didnt get a go in the car and wanted one., i think i pulled over 300 mile on track, and destroyed a brand new set of 888s but it was worth it, thanks to all those that made it happen
here's my tyres tooQuote:

lol did you once on gerrards, was talkin to some peeps about the cars out, the only cars i couldnt crack that day were ures and griers vx, passed everything else i bumped into
anyone have some incar vids of the day?
Everyone agrees then what a day! Brought my mate in his purple Volvo he loved it. Couldn't have gone any better even with a few hiccups from the 5 awesome. Where do I buy my ticket for next year? Thanks again to all who organised it, felt alot more of a club day than last year. The open pit policy made the day :agree: think everyone got there fill of track time :smokin:Quote:

Sorry I never got time to take you out - and everyone else who wanted a few laps :( should have done a rota :D - not helped by a rear left toeing out lol oh and the loose rear right track rod end at the begining of the day giving me skyline styleeee rear steer lol - time for a geo ;) but still went well - even fridge freezer was impressed (and he has jap taxi lol)
Thanks to Clee for use of his tools and Sage and Emma for the low jacks - brining tools in the vx is not the easiest :(
lol that must have been when i got blacked flagged and was pulling into the pits:DQuote:

I have my in car footage from the morning before the blowout but not viewed it yet.
well here are my tyres, the car started feeling loose on corners so i pitted. and checked the tyres but it was too late and could have been a nasty accident.
i have a lovely flat spot from locking a wheel whilst avoiding emmas car after a spin. but the tyres were dead before this and it was the final straw for them, but i did get around 150 laps in according to mileage.
my lesson was learned. always check tyres before each session thoroughly. i only looked at outside indicators and they looked fine and i didnt see the insides were dead :ashamed:
fronts were down through the wire on the drivers right.

Really wanted a play with Ales in his CSL but kept missing each other on track, same happened at Snetterton on Monday (although I was in the garage for 3hrs fixing a broken actuator)
Think next year at the same track would be brilliant - was going soooooo much faster at the end of the day once I bypassed the ABS and learned to drive around the rear toe out twitch lol - even soe mild drifts going on - tyres are shot also :( 225/45/17's are just sooo much more than the VAG 5's 195/50/15's were lol
Maybe next year I will jsut do a few laps with everyone who wants to go out?
James Surridge got way too much time out and got WAY too excited LOL think he liked it!
Had an absolutely awesome weekend, thanks to the Committee for arranging a spot on show for us and for the members for being such a giggle.
Was great seeing some old faces and meeting a lot of new ones. A special big up should also go out to our French friends for travelling out that way and for providing some very odd/strong/probably-should-be-illegal alcohol too.
Thank you to everyone who took me out as a passenger, it was muchly appreciated and I hope I was a good co-pilot in the shiny red helmet that made me look like a sore penis :laugh:
Ps - Stu/Ashy/Jaffa/Ambrose....can Tricky and I be honourary Northerners please and teach me how to build a fire out of pallets? :smokin:

Good to see the normal faces, meet new people.
Cant wait for ND09,
Great weekend, great weather, great racing and fantastic crack :)
The 5 did me proud, had a bit of a scare when she threw the aux belt and blew the expansion tank cap!! I really thought we were on fire (again) when the smoke started to poor through the vents and fill the cabin!!! Found that I've lost the rear gearbox mount too so the journey home was at a steady pace :eek:
Can't wait for next year now :)
P.S. Dawn I'm suprised you can remember much of what was said... You were slightly out of it :smokin:
Lol Ashy, I'd only had one shot from that skittles Vodka bottle I was carrying around and I was one of the few that don't smoke the reefa. I was far worse on Friday night thanks to the French guys and their odd foreign alcohol :eek:. You guys were excellent hosts to us though after we randomly wandered over to say ello :agree:
Had a great weekend, good to see new faces & the regulars:cool:
Bit gutted that i only had 2 sessions out in the van before it started smoking like the red arrows thanks to the sump leaking on the exhaust, thixo & breather mods needed by the looks of things. Corners alright for a van anyway;)
Id like to say thanks to Kris M, Paul B & Carcrash for the passenger rides, all excellent made the day for me :)
Also thanks to the fire starters for keeping us warm lastnight & trying to burn my leghairs off with the heat:laugh:
Me.....just need to edit them.
Top couple days as usual, great meeting up with the usuals but also meeting up with some new people, including the French lot for coming over this way for the 3 days.
Some great cars which turned up to the event always nice seeing originals plus the modified.
Thanx to Bruce, Adey and Jesus for a trip around the track in their cars. Bruce was a slightly scary one but glad survived in one piece after the blow out. Adey that car is mad, 100mph around that top bend, guess im going to have to invest in some 888s. as the t1rs could only hold 80 round there, then again not the best suspension in the world on the cab.
Hope I didn't scare the people I took round, Jesus you recovered yet? Also think Beardo is hooked on tracked days.
Cheers Steve for allowing me to drive you car, thats definately an experience I wont forget for a while, that car just accelerates so smoothly you dont realise what speed your doing till you look at the digital display.
Shame about today though, was looking forward to seeing the racing however rain just spoilt it.
Cheers to all those involved in organising it and all the rest which turned up.
Have uploaded the pics the mrs took to the gallery, if anybody wants the original sized hiigh res (3008x2000) give me a pm:)
well thats me just home and i left at 11 am. had a good weekend so thanks all.;)
cheers to barry for taking me round in the vx. it was very :burnrubber:
sorry to who ever it was that i gave a blast of the horn to around scotch corner. i coulnd stop so hope you got back ok.:)
First post!
A BIG thanks to Chris and all who made the National day possible...
Was great to get the coupe back out on the track where it belongs...
If anyone has any pics of it I'd love to see them as I've not got many of it in action...
http://i192.photobucket.com/albums/z...lDay200828.jpg
Well what can i say , i'm home after a "slow " lift from the t cup driving god tricky i had a brilliant weekend and was great to lose my track day virginity (all be it in a 19 convertible !!! ) Was great to see old friends and meet new friends and i can't wait for the next track day !
Comment of ND08 has to be " feed the pony "!
Sure Dave has a load of you in action on track ;) will get back to you after I have confirmed :)Quote:

AdamL, that was soooo funny on friday night, the weirdest **** was going down over at that pub, with allsorts of odd looking pissed up locals wandering around in bandanas and facial hair :eek: then you turn up in the rover and we were like, here come the doggers, it was the final straw for lomo, he was on his knees with laughter. Nice to meet you fella :D
Dawn, No, not until you learn that it's pronounced 'didgery t'doo'. You and Mr Tricky to the T-cup grass tracking rude boy get your hot ass's t'Leeds for a night out and we'll have you fluant in't Yorkshire in no time lass ;)
And to everyone else, hello and thank you for understanding :smokin: :laugh:
I do believe that the RTOC National Days get better every year!!!
Another fantastic couple of days with a cracking bunch of mates & the opportunity to drive like a LOON also!! :D
Really enjoyed driving the Clio on the track & believe that the 15 hours to change the clutch 2 days before the event was worth it as it didn't miss a beat all day!!
Very impressed with the way Millie handled it on the track having been only the second time she drove the car and her first time on the track!! Think she could be the new Sabine Schnmidt in time!! Well done!
http://i306.photobucket.com/albums/n...T/IMG_3071.jpg
Hope the people that had a ride/drive of the Clio enjoyed it? Thanks for your feedback & thoughts on it, i've got lots planned for that little fighter in time! ;)
Special mention goes to Chief Inspector Tricky of the Thames Valley Police for not only inducting me into the Interceptor club with a ride round the track but then allowing me to graduate from the Police driving school with a few laps driving the Beast itself!!! Popped my drifting cherry on the hairpin under close inspection from the Cheif himself!! :laugh:
That car is AWSOME! :D
Some wonderful looking cars there including the Black 5GTT Parked next to my Raider (a shine 9 miles deep!) & the 4 French cars - fantastic!! Loved the way each one of you guys had the Clio Williams Speedline's modified to your own colour/polish? Definately gives me some ideas!!
Roll on ND 2009 & Mallory gets my vote next year!! :D

Massive, MASSIVE thanks to everyone involved with the weekend. From the organisers, to every club member who made the effort to attend what was, imo, the best National Day to date.
And I think a special thanks should go out to Renault themselves, for turning up and getting involved with our Nat' Day for the first time. Lets hope this is just the start. And of course that thanks is to Paul B as well, for persuading them to come along :agree::cool:
Roll on 2K9.
The more expensive one, the £199 job ;)
come on peeps get the vids up, was watching the tricky/stu uber close shave from the bank, i honestly thought both of them cars were guna be bent and the drivers woulda had ass holes the size of the moon
i had loads of video footage but unfortinatly dan deleted it by accident, but he has managed to save 1 video where a clio locks up infront of me, once i receive a copy i will post it up, not sure how long it is as the battery on the camera died aswell.
:laugh: Stu, I had no idea where I was going. I slammed my brakes on, when I got to the campsite, as a joke and slid a couple of feet, when I got to the gang of southeners and my wing mirror fell off:laugh:. I don't think anyone realised it was me until I stepped out of the car.Quote:

I remember Rich coming back in and saying he'd been off, I didn't realise it was from that:laugh:
The ND's do get better as each year passes.
Badical weekend, badical location, badical weather, and best of all, badical people. If I was comparing it to throwing darts, it would be 180 every time.
Such a good time, such a good laugh(s), and from what I could pick up on, such a good atmosphere all round.
Hats off to Miller for making this year's ND all of the above.
I heard my name being mentioned in the AGM (feckers! :D ) but due to 'baby' sitting (thanks Al...), I couldn't make it over there. That might sound like a load of pony, but it is the truth. Hey, I know I whinge on now & then ;) but it's only because I have passion for the club & all things rtoc related - I probably wouldn't have had much to say at the AGM anyway...well, maybe ;) :D
The 100% trackday safety record took a wee bit of a hammering (so that'll teach me for opening my big trap before an event), but for sure I think it's fair to say the good track vibe easily outweighed the bad.
I hope that same vibe continues & is present in 3 weeks time at the 'Ring :)
For sure though, Mallory certainly gets my vote for ND 2009.
Beautiful :beer: :)
New poster! (less than 10 posts)
Big thanks to Miller & the team for organising such a fabulous ND, even the weather was great for us (can't say the weather in the evening was quite the same though!!)
I certainly would love to go back next year for the ND!
I had a really fun time driving on track in Big Steve's VAG Clio (thank you Fiance! :)) and as it was my first time I didn't think I did too bad! Can't wait to drive on track again now:D
Thanks also to the peeps who took me out as a passenger.
Well done to everyone who won trophies (especially Big Steve..awww I'm sooo proud :D)
Oh... Who was the TK look a like (Gary Barlow) with the BMW 535? I collapsed all over his table on Friday night, after having too much to drink
He said he was from Cumbria... Then I fell all over Colin:laugh:

Oh so you didn't see the new mods we gave you when you fell asleep then? The pink eye-shadow suited you quite well actually ;)Quote:

Wait, I locked my car, i'm sure I did. I was trying to prevent a repeat of brunters:D
I'm not mean enough to let you think that we actually did that to you lol...but I'm saving that plan for the next show. I'd suggest you maybe sleeping with one eye open but I'll only stick the eye-shadow on your eye instead should no eye-lid be available. No escape boyo! :laugh:
you are mean dawn, when i told you me and logg were going to cable ties everyones zips closed on their tents whilst they were asleep you thought it was excellent idea.
PMSL totally forgot about that....ssshhhh :laugh:Quote:

I also remember people asking for a medic kit that night, not knowing what was going on.
Yeah Shoppers saved the day with the kit in the end. Anyyyywaaaaaays, enough about me! :ashamed:

It was great to put faces to names!!! Hopefully the car will be ready for the next event.
Many thanks!!!
thanks for that :agree:Quote:

Does anybody know who was in the blue 5 with orange wheels. Ashamed to say I lost control in the afternoon and span the car out :ashamed:. Think it was where Paul B was talking about before hand on the pictures thread (jinxed me ;)). Just like to say sorry matey :agree: got it on video but I dont know how to load it on here :confused: . Couldv'e been nasty.
dont be ashamed matey...you were out there and trying so its better there than a high street roundabout.....sorry if i jinxed you but I did try and pre warn to help out...not to jinx anyone....
video can be uploaded to photobucket and the like....all depends on file size too..
I can upload upto 10 minutes or 100 meg of film....
I will be uploading mine later in the week...
Loved every lap
Me too mate, loved every minute what a day, hope its there next year. Only pulling your leg bout the corner ;) think I just got a bit tired :ashamed:. I'll have a go at getting the video on here, think I got you a couple of times on film too. :agree:
sounds like emmas car
yup, sounds like emma's car....
I'll be going through an hour of track footage soon ...will have a look and see who is on there.;)
also took an hour or so of footage on my camera, i mounted it on a tripod and left it filming from where the "T-Cup" vid was taken.....

Yep The overspray photo is Doris and I can tell you I was mighty relieved to see that by the time I had sprinted to the nearest extinhuisher having shouted fire that the good lads of the RTOC had her out.
The dip stick had come out and when the oil met the turbo she was well alight. All went up just as I entered the paddock so very very lucky. I though she was a goner. :cry:
However after letting her cool the main man at Mallory Park took the time and trouble to get me a jet washer out and with some help from Jesus and a loan of a bucket and sponge she looked far better in 10 min. All the hoses and electrics had survived aided by my extra heat sheild so I was back out in the afternoon having a ball. I went through £40 of petrol :D
Almost all of the driving was very disciplined and to a reasuringly high standard. I had words with 2 members who know who they are. I was almost taken out by the second coming who chose the inside of the entry to Gerrads to make his appearence!
Very many thanks to Chris and his team for all the hard work. I gave him a ride in Doris as a penance. Heres to next year being even better and bigger.
PS who won the inovation award? I was busy packing up whilst the AGM was on.
Russell.....
we had a fair few flying laps and I really enjoyed following you round....it was fantastiche.......LOL.......
glad Doris is only wet and dirty , could have been a nasty one .....
It was a fix ;) Emma won with the LPG conversion. Must admit that is impressive with it running with just LPG though.Quote:

£100 for all my fuel this weekend 700ish miles down and 105 miles on track :D
as said, im uber impresed and suprised its not used more, how hard is it to switch to lpg?
on a fuel injected car not too hard, carb conversion was the difficult part custom manifold needed ;)Quote:

Hello !
Few words to say how great was the event ! It is our 4th ND and it was really GIANT :agree: Beautifull cars, heavy modified engines, many people met, great site at Mallory Park, good weather with sun all the day and 'magic pernod' helping to heat the night :p
We took many pictures, so I will post them during this week when I got some free time. By the way I confirm the manifold used on the efi car comes from an 11 Alliance. Happy to read our cars were appreciated :)
Thanks to all the people we have met during the week end, thanks to Miller & all the staff, thanks x 1000 :D
Will be back to ND09 ! :)
Bonjour Fred,
Hehe was lovely meeting you guys and thank you so much for the Pernod, lethal stuff! Can't believe you guys were drinking mugs of whisky neat!
Looking forward to seeing the photos, I saw Roman taking quite a few over the weekend :agree:

It was a great weekend. Well worth the trip up. Thanks mostly to Bekki for looking after my boy while I was on track. Only intended to do one or two sessions but kept being asked for passenger rides all day, so did a bit more than intended on my knackered rear Michelin Cup tyres.
Cheers to Mart/Bekki for the accommodation. Much appreciated & Josh had a great time. His first time sleeping in a tent & he hasn't stopped talking about it yet. Oh, & by the way, first word past his lips this morning when presented with his breakfast was "FAIL". Thanks again for that one Mart. Laura says it's all my fault.:sad2:;)
Thanks to Shoppers for organising the mother of all pizza orders.:agree:
Cheers to Big Steve for the loan of the bedding. Hope the passenger ride was good fun.:cool:
Good to see so many Renaults doing proud on track. Looks like the trackday jitters are well and truely a thing of the past.:cool:
I know it's not a Renault but did anyone catch any footage of my CSL on track? I'd be interested to have a look. They do sound nice fully wound up.;)
Fair play on the inovation award to the LPG conversion, having read the PPC mag article there is a lot more to it than meets the eye. How about we get PPC mag down to ND09? or even better someone has to enter a 5 into the PPC £999 challenge.
I spent a little time there met a proper cool camper called Lyle who made me Tea.
Good to see you lot, good to meet more peeps.
My littluns loved the CAFE Saturday morning.:laugh:

Thanks Russ, we did contact PPC but no one was avaliable :( I will send in a write up and pics and hopefully they will stick it in the mag :DQuote:

Bring on ND09!!! My clio turbo will be there as I now have time to start the conversion ;) :D

LOL..
I'm up for 1 too young man.

Mart, AlexS & Duncan Grier will all vouch for when the Skyline GTR Owners Club (GTROC) go to a track day they have a window sticker with the outline of the track and GTROC in the centre for all the members.
Therefore you can see which cars have been to which tracks & it looks good when you see a car with all the stickers on.
Maybe we could start this ball rolling with the RTOC?
and with the size of my BOOT I can loads on there....LOL
:laugh:sounds good lads.. it may be your last...:laugh:, right my mate says its no problem...free, im limited to 30..:D, so a list it is, beyound that itll cost me, failing that use ole car crash`s site link an buy one...

excellent news Jaffa. We could do with some more R5 taking the smile of those mighty 205's. If you need any help /tips eligability questions, just ask. Are you going road modified like me or mod prod like Andy Cooke and Tony Hart?
With your personal motivational guru in tow you cant fail to break the class record each run and win the championship. :laugh:
Here is how to do it (you just need to go a few seconds faster )

Jaffa De Coont Be Tekin Dem 1 Be Fookin 1
Dave Sturdy is our class record holder so hes the man to beat. Re the licence you need an MSA competition licence and as far as I can remember you dont need a DVLA licence to get one of those as kids from 16 can compete. It does help to know your left from your right as in "overtaking on the left only" ;)
You have a fast car I will be very interessted to see how quickly you can get up the hill.
Dave knows all the rules we both had our problems at Harewood this year. :ashamed:
he only had his left hand on the steering wheel when overtaking , LOL...so thats OK...
:laugh::laugh::laugh::laugh:
