hogman Posted June 12, 2003 Author Posted June 12, 2003 Hey Richard Open pit lane means you get even more time on track!! As Greg mentioned you get to do lots of testing as and when you like! Just remember to avoid the moving chicanes out there!! Cheers Kevin Quote

Westfields Rock On Posted June 14, 2003 Posted June 14, 2003 i thought there were 9 of us?!?! there was 3 westys. (armthorpe - wizzards of NOS) Quote
hogman Posted June 14, 2003 Author Posted June 14, 2003 3 cancelled which left 6 of you that attended - but believe some of them weren't Westies but other 7 types, all WSCC club members though! Did you have a good day out? Wished I could have joined you but had to work! So tell all, what was Binbrook like? Did you use all that new found power? Cheers Kevin Quote
Westfields Rock On Posted June 14, 2003 Posted June 14, 2003 ace ace ace ferckin 300bhp rally focus!!!!!!!! , its like 100 down the straight after abbys - "try and get past me now!!!" focus just pass es us like we're doing 10mph!!! and this guy with a white MG Midget was giving it some stick past us and on the straight coming up to abbys his car burst into flames!!! great day out though. pics on way Quote
steve wilson Posted June 14, 2003 Posted June 14, 2003 Quite a good day after the sun came out. There was a crapvan that just wouldnt start all day. Binbrook isnt the best of places to do a track day from what i saw. Too much rubble and things to hit if you get it wrong. Quote
hogman Posted June 15, 2003 Author Posted June 15, 2003 Sounded like an excellent fun day - wish I could have been there!! ah well theres Elvington and Cadwell - so that should be fun! Interesting comments about Binbrook Steve, dont think we will do another there - not enough interest! Cheers Kevin Quote
Westfields Rock On Posted June 15, 2003 Posted June 15, 2003 i loved every second apart from there was a tarmacked pothole. crunch - ouch - stones in helmet. need gas flowed head. Overtaken by nearly every car on the track and we over took one......................................................with a broken gearbox. Quote

Cheers Kevin I havnt even driven round it but from what i saw i wont bother.Even if they made it £5 entry fees. It looked just like a building site and ok for rally cars. Quote
Johnny Posted June 15, 2003 Posted June 15, 2003 Hello all, My 1st post here. As I saw a few of you at Binbrook I decided to do a quick search on Google to find you to see what you all thought of Binbrook. Firstly I don't drive a Westfield or indeed any type of "westy" derived car, I was the one in the white Mk1 Escort doing the graceful piroettes (spelling?) There was also a silver Mk2 and a Cobra with me. After reading your comments, was the surface really that bad for you? I must admit the changes in camber in some corners really upset the balance of the 'scort which added to the fun although in a Westfield it may be a totally different kettle of fish. I don't know if any of you will be going to the next airfield day on the 26th of July but I can't wait! Oh and if I held any of you up on Saturday, sorry, although I hope I didn't disgrace myself too badly as it was my 1st time John. Quote
Westfields Rock On Posted June 16, 2003 Posted June 16, 2003 man that cobra was to slow rond the corners! i like your 3 wheel manouvers round the 1st right hander!!! the mk2 (silver) that had the broken gearbox didnt it? We overtook that one! Quote
Johnny Posted June 16, 2003 Posted June 16, 2003 The cobra was having trouble with his brakes over heating and wasn't really suited to the track, prob be more at home at Santa Pod. The Mk2 box had stuck in neutral but after dropping the box out the driver managed to free it off and rejoin the fun. As for me going around on three wheels someone else also mentioned this to me, I had no idea John Quote
Westfields Rock On Posted June 16, 2003 Posted June 16, 2003 we stuck to your ass for a long while. we should try and get some good tyres i think. here us Quote
