Paul Hogan Posted March 8, 2014 Report Share Posted March 8, 2014 The forthcoming TRR track day will see at least two of our Le Mans cars getting some practise in and hopefully all three cars will be there on the day. For those of you who haven't been on a track day before and want to experience some fast driving without the threat of a GATSO camera I cannot recommend this type of event enough. Given the fact that Goodwood charges over £300 for such an event and Silverstone is a whopping £490 the TRR price of £60 is peanuts! So what are you waiting for? You don't need special helmets and overalls. Just a decent car that doesn't leak oil all over the place. ( difficult I know on a TR but there you go) SIGN UP NOW! Hogie .

kevin bryant Posted March 10, 2014 Report Share Posted March 10, 2014 Paul, Excellent news. Looking forward to seeing the cars on the track. Yet another reason for local groups to come along for a day out even if they don't want to enjoy their cars on the track. As Paul says, sign up now. It'll be a great day out. regards kev Quote Link to post Share on other sites
McMuttley Posted March 11, 2014 Report Share Posted March 11, 2014 Got olde smokey static noise tested at Brands today, - she makes only 94 decides at 3,250 rpm ! Quote Link to post Share on other sites
kevin bryant Posted March 19, 2014 Report Share Posted March 19, 2014 Well we're about half way there now in terms of bookings. A few people have asked to book non Triumphs but I'm afraid we are declining these. The car must be a four wheeled Triumph or derivative. It's a great way to enjoy your car and far safer than being a bit enthusiastic on public roads, however quiet they appear to be. So come on chaps and ladies, visit the TR Register shop and book your place now. It'll be the best £60 you'll spend on yourself / your car in 2014. Book now and take care Kev Quote Link to post Share on other sites
PaulR Posted March 19, 2014 Report Share Posted March 19, 2014 Hi Kevin Please can you tell me how to book Rgds Paul Quote Link to post Share on other sites
john.r.davies Posted March 19, 2014 Report Share Posted March 19, 2014 (edited) 29th April - I'd love to be there, with my car, but at present, no engine. Two blew last year (the 'experimental' and then the old one with new bearings) and my rebuild of the 'experimental' has been thwarted by a cracked block. Start again, but the machine shop still working on my alternative block. I fear it cannot be ready, even for a gentle 'break-in' run by then. But if not full, will late entries be possible?

jerrytr5 Posted March 20, 2014 Report Share Posted March 20, 2014 Hi Kevin Please can you tell me how to book Rgds Paul Paul, you need to go via the Register shop: http://www.tr-registershop.co.uk/revington-tr--tr-register-sprint-and-hillclimb-test-and-track-day-49-c.asp Jerry Quote Link to post Share on other sites
kevin bryant Posted March 20, 2014 Report Share Posted March 20, 2014 Paul Jerry beat me to the response. Clearly need to log in more regularly. John Late entries may be possible. At the moment I have 23 cars and about 40 drivers. If we get to 40 cars I'll take a view on how many drivers we have and may close it. I want to ensure that every who attends gets all the track time they want. We can have up to 6 cars on the circuit at any time. At Blyton last year we were restricted to just three cars and about 20 cars and no one had to wait more than a couple of minutes to get on. It's that sort of day I want to run again. At 40 cars we'll have covered our costs so no great desire to go beyond that. I'd say book, it'll help make sure you're ready for Motorsport at the Palace in May Take care all, and as they say, don't delay - book today Kev Quote Link to post Share on other sites
john.r.davies Posted March 20, 2014 Report Share Posted March 20, 2014 Thnaks, Kevin! It's in the lap of the machinist at present. No block, no makee engine. Hope to see you at both. John Quote Link to post Share on other sites
TRTOM2498PI Posted March 26, 2014 Report Share Posted March 26, 2014 I have now booked. Cheers. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Paul Axworthy Posted March 26, 2014 Report Share Posted March 26, 2014 Hi Paul, I am new to track days - is it OK to come along as a spectator? Do I need to book in somehow? I am just converting my TR4a to fast road spec and it would be handy to talk to some experts! Paul Quote Link to post Share on other sites
john.r.davies Posted March 26, 2014 Report Share Posted March 26, 2014 (edited) If I may, Paul, Paul would be most welcome! Track days are like motor racing used to be. Open paddock, just stroll around and chat, bearing in mind that a driver just going out, or just come in (with a problem) may not want a conversation right then!

Steves_TR6 Posted March 26, 2014 Report Share Posted March 26, 2014 I'd really like to do this day, but like John I'm waiting on parts. in my case its hubs,don't really want to stress my 40 year old hubs on a track...... so have ordered Ali frnot hubs with uprated stubs and bearings, and a full CV rear shaft/hub setup. I'd like at least the fronts before committing to the track. not done a TR trackday before, done quite a few on varios motorbikes though. fingers crossed! steve Quote Link to post Share on other sites
TRTOM2498PI Posted March 26, 2014 Report Share Posted March 26, 2014 Hi Steve, Great fun, that is for sure. Yes, get some uprated hubs on the back. Cheers. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
kevin bryant Posted April 2, 2014 Report Share Posted April 2, 2014 Paul, Just to re-enforce the comments from others. We’d love to see a full paddock of 40 Triumphs (or derivatives) and equally full car park of supporters and spectators, especially so if they are driving a Triumph. The on-site restaurant will be open for business as will Merlin Motorsports. First cars should be on the track for just after 9.00am and it all has to end at 5.00pm. There will be an hour’s break for lunch for the marshals. The morning will be run a sprint session and the afternoon as an open track day with a maximum of 6 cars on the track at any time. To drive, book now. To spectate, just turn up on the day - we'd love to see you there. Kev Quote Link to post Share on other sites
kevin bryant Posted April 7, 2014 Report Share Posted April 7, 2014 Down to the last ten available places now. Book now. Kev Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Paul Hogan Posted April 7, 2014 Author Report Share Posted April 7, 2014 Hi Everyone, The three Le mans TR's met up for the first time last weekend at the Revington TR open day. With our main sponsors PENRITE now on board we are looking forward to our first track testing session at the TRR Castle Coombe track day at the end of the month. We hope you will come and see how we get on. My thanks to David Fosse for the photos he took that day. Hogie. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
