Bly X

BlyTEN Blast

Saturday 16th August 2008





It's not just for Scoobs.....









The biggest event of the year for the WYIOC, and one of the few where you can actually take part.
Our 10th visit to Blyton and every one just seems to be better than the last.
Here's to a superb and safe day out for everyone, both old members and new alike.


The Venue

Rallydrive is 10 miles south of Scnuthorpe just outside the village of Blyton, and is sited on a disused WWII airfield in the middle of a cornfield. As it is not a pure racing track in the mould of Donnington or Oulton, the surface is a little rough and there are some potholes (imagine TopGears track). The circuit itself has been set up to challenge the balance and handling of the professional racing and rally teams whom use it as a test facility, and so provides plenty of fun on its 1 1/4 mile lap.


Schedule

The venue will be ours for the whole day from our arrival at (hopefully ) 8.30am to sometime around 4.30pm, allowing plenty of track time for everybody. We will continue with our successful token system with 5 cars on track at a time. Previous experience shows that most people do 3-6 laps (5-10 minutes) and then come off for a breather so everyone should get as much time as they want.

Facilities

Facilities are somewhat spartan so it's recommended that you bring your own refreshments, picnic chairs & tables and prepare for any bad weather we may have (let's hope for some rain ). I'm sure the WYIOC gayzebo AND BBQ will be making an appearance

Don't forget your sausages, burgers and rolls for the BBQ

Costs

As before, this is a non-profit event organised purely for the fun and enjoyment of Scooby and other performance car owners, and the costs are to be shared equally and hence the price cannot be finalised until the day when we know exactly how many are there. As an example, if we have...
20 cars it will be £40 for Wyioc members; £45 non-members,
25 cars is £35/£40,
30 cars £30/£35,
35 cars £25/£30.

As last time, may I respectfully request that a deposit of £20 be paid to secure places as soon as possible. If there is insufficient interest by a certain date the event could be cancelled.

You can PayPal your deposit to my account at davidwatsonok@yahoo.com, but please send £21 to cover fees (3.4%+0.20p).
Hand £20 to me whenever you see me, but back this up with a PM to remind me.
Send cheques payable to 'David Watson' for £20 to...

David Watson,
125 Roker Lane,
Pudsey,
LS28 9NB.
Thieving scum please note there are no decent cars at this address

Your place will not be confirmed until a deposit has been received, and should there be more than 35 cars you may not get on track on the day should you not confirm by deposit.

From July 16th, deposits shall be non-refundable as the track has to be paid for by then.

Additional drivers to each car shall be £10 each, pay on day.
Spectators shall be charged at £5 each (under 16's free), pay on day.
There will be a voluntary charity collection on the day too.

Maximum 35 cars for the track

Tuition

Tuition will be available hopefully from the venue owner Howard Patterson, who has been an international rally driver competing succesfully for over 30 years. Many of the guys have had tuition from him or his staff in the past and will confirm its merits to anyone interested. The cost is £150, shared equally between those involved. I need to ascertain numbers for this so I can book a tutor in good time so please voice your interest ASAP.

Getting there

WYIOC's

Leeds/Bradford area members will meet at The Brickworks, Driglington at 6.40am.
Wakefield/Castleford are members at The Trading Post at 7am.

The main rendezvous point for ALL attendees is at 7.30am at Ferrybridge Services.

And on to Blyton...
The route takes us along the M62 east to J35, M18 south to J5, M180 east (careful of the sCamera vans and over-zealous Plods) to J3 then right onto the A18, right onto the A159 and down to the Optimax station. Then straight down to Blyton and left onto the B1205.
Green route (not pink)

SAFETY

Last but foremost in everybodies minds must be safety. On track we run 4-5 cars at a time with NO OVERTAKING. Any measurement of abilitiy will be done with a stopwatch. Off track everyone MUST observe a strict 5 mph limit. There will be people, and possibly children walking around the paddock area. Anyone thought to be endangering safety shall have a single warning, then be asked to leave the premises with no refund. Thankfully it has never come close to this, and I doubt it ever will.

At ten-to the hour, every hour, if there are five or more track cars queued to the right of the normal queue we will run a 10 minute track-car only session on the hour. During this session the overtaking rules will be relaxed. You are still expected to drive sensibly and considerately to others, but as these cars are usually fairly cheap to own and run, the risk of damage is less unpleasant. However, we still do not want to risk injury !

Helmets must be worn by anyone in a vehicle on track, driver or passenger, so if you have your own it is advised you bring it, otherwise Rallydrive have a selection of sweaty used ones to lend us for the day.

Legal Bit

Your payments will be made directly to Rallydrive, and you will be asked to sign a disclaimer fully accepting that you understand the dangers of driving in an unrestricted area and that you accept full liability for your own actions and any consequencies resulting. Your contract of sale shall be with Rallydrive. By accepting to attend this event you also accept these terms and conditions. You must fully accept that it is your own responsibility if you choose to attend this event. Your own safety and the care of your property remains your own concern and no liability for loss, damage or injury can be held by any other attendee, or member of the WYIOC. If this is not agreeable, do not come. There is a legal precedent now set whereby any individual engaging in amateur or professional motorsport at a closed location, venue or event is in full understanding of the dangers and risks involved and thus takes full responsibility for their own personal safety and the safety of any property so involved. If you are concerned you are fully entitled to source your own insurance for the event, the club and the venue owners accept no responsibility whatsoever for anyone attending or their property.


Sign up, pay up, turn up, have fun




A little note to our newer members and those who've never attended this event before

People are often a bit scared of trackdays, and rightly so. Motorsport is dangerous and should be treated with all relevant safety precautions and huge amounts of common sense. At this event we aim to have fun with our cars but in as much safety as possible. This is why we limit the number of cars on track and insist on NO OVERTAKING. Whereas on other trackdays it is a free-for-all with people often loosing it and collecting others in their mistake, we make sure you have your own space to explore your car and your potential to the limits of your and its ability, or to whatever level you wish, safe in your own space on track. There is no pressure to set or maintain speeds which may be uncomfortable to you or dangerous. In fact, I have said this before but it is much more dangerous following me over Strines than enjoying this day. There is plenty of time available throughout the whole day so you can build your confidence and speed progressively, and even benefit from the valuable and excellent tuition which has often been available from the professional racing drivers at the circuit. The ones whom are wary and reticent about going are usually the ones who enjoy the day the most. Just ask Barry Please come along and enjoy what is probably the best event for the WYIOC of the year, and one in which you can take part instead of just watch. Superb fun at a fantastic price.

To give you an idea what to expect....

Many pics also HERE

CLICKY to show you what went on last time, and the time before CLICKY. Many of the pics have been cleared out, so maybe we could sort out a WYIOC Photobucket account with the password made known to members for anyone to drop suitable shots into for use by anyone in the club

Do a search for 'blyton' on here and there'll be dozens of threads with hundreds of images.

Happy days for me
