brianm Posted July 10, 2004 Share Posted July 10, 2004 OK guys, The guy that designed and built my car said that I must get it on "the track" Well never been anywhere near one except as a spectator but have booked in for Mallory this year. So any advise? any does and don'ts?, apart from don't crash and do stay on the track What are the rules and regs regarding fuel containers in the paddock? ie, do you have to use marked containers, steel jerry cans etc, or will industrial type plasy 25 ltr containers suffice? Apart from oil catch tank and marked batterry leads anything I need to be aware of? I am approaching this with a fifty/fifty mix of fear and exitement B.

felters Posted July 10, 2004 Share Posted July 10, 2004 Noise is the big issue at most track days - but not at Mallory apparently. Just do the usual stuff - tyres, fluids etc. Might be worth checking brake pads etc. as well. If you're driving to the event rather than trailering then make sure you've got a fair bit of tread as you'll burn some off and getting caught by the fuzz on the way home is not the best way to finish your day. Oh - and when you come to lap some old codger in a well abused red SEI - then be gentle with him. Please. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hmmm, somewhat doubtful. ,Who gets the choice to start from last? (readymade excuse) B. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Crash Override Posted July 10, 2004 Share Posted July 10, 2004 All your fears will soon disapear when your out on track with your foot flat on the floor. As regards to car other than having a catch tank fitted just make sure all levels are right and nuts & bolts are all at there correct tightness, we don't want anything falling off now do we?

Blatman Posted July 11, 2004 Share Posted July 11, 2004 Yup. A decent spanner check before the event is a must. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
