SIDC Abz Dastek Rolling road day

[scuba dou]

Gavin Wallace of Wallace Performance has recently taken delivery and had installed at his purpose build sound proofed premises in Aberdeen a brand new Dastek 4-wheel rolling road system. This is set up with a 15KW main cooling fan fed from outside the building, with a 5KW secondary fan set up for top mounts.

I have approached Gavin and asked him if we can set up a SIDC Rolling road day on probably a Sat (or maybe even a Sunday if required) and now want to gauge interest. At this time the cost will most likely be £30 per car for less that 15 cars and £25 per car for more than 15 cars. Please note that each car will get 2 power runs

Please let me know what the interest levels are for such an event to be set up and ?we? will make it happen

[MikeABZ]

I was down for a RR day at Star performance, but a more local one sounds appealing............. Will wait for the date etc to be finalised.....

Do you have to be SIDC member, or tag along/free loader ??

[scuba dou]

Hi Mike,

All welcome as per SIDC track days, SIDC/Subaru owner or not Will wait to see what the response is over the weekend and into next week with the Scooby brigade, and then I will spread the word on other forums. I know several cars that will come along already from out and about Abzshire. I'll call Gavin and see what provisional dates we can consider, but it will most likely be into the last two weeks of Sept now, unless people want it set up sooner. It would not be over the 11th Sept, when the SIDC have a track day at Knockhill already organised. It might be that SIDC members get an additional small discount over what I have quoted above, but the fine detail still has to be sorted out; all depending on demand from actual SIDC members to be honest

[Carl Davey]

Hey Jools! You can count on me and the fridge being there provided dates match with offshore etc.

See how Gav's RR compares with Star as my car has hardly changed (apart from the BB) since Feb when it ran at Star.

[Numptie]

Jools,

Can they do a RWD car or does it have to be 4WD?

Cheers,

N

N,

Good to hear from you me old pal and glad you liked the nice Sti pink wheels The objectives for drawing attention to the club stand and promoting the good work young KeithP can do for us where well and truly met. Understatement of the year that

Wallace performance can do both 4x4, front or rear wheel drive cars on the day; no probs there

Cheers,

Jools

PS; your "pub" post on SN was spot on.

[Shaun]

Jools. Which fri or sat are you talking about. Would be well up for this.

Shaun

[scuba dou]

Hi Shaun,

It would be a Sat or Sun. Nothing set up yet, but if you and Carl Davey can tell me what dates you are available, we?ll take it from there and we?ll pick a date. I get home on the 15th Sept for 3 weeks, but am not worried about setting it up to suit myself. If I am there fine, if not, also fine. This last year has been a bit of a whiz for the family and I, what with moving house and all that comes with that but now that my good lady has gone back to work (after 11 years I may add ) I am going to try and do a bit more for the club for the NE, Highlands and Islands, and the Scottish scene in general, hopefully giving JohnS a bit of support with some of the good work he does for us year in year out.

Please drop me an email, with all your contact details as I have something else to organise as well, which will include you ?Watch this space for some local karting coming our way, be better to play on the wee cars on the wee track rather than the big cars on the road. Jools

[Carl Davey]

Jools, back on Sep 21st for 2 weeks.

[ewan_anderson]

sounds like a great idea Jools I'm ok with a saturday or a sunday

was going to give Gavin a phone but if sidc are organizing RR day I am up for that

cheers Ewan

[scuba dou]

Ok people I have some more concrete details on a few fronts to share with you.

First of all costs; SIDC members will be £25 per car for two power runs. Non SIDC members will be £30 per car, again for two power runs.

Note; All monies to be paid direct to Wallace Performance on the day. Please also note; the normal price for an individual rolling road session will be £45 (two power runs), so we are securing some very competitive prices indeed

Secondly, the order listed below is not necessarily the order the cars will run. Closer to the actual date we will put a running order together with approximate times. This list will be made up purely by the different types of cars we will have running on the day, in order to keep changes to the actual rolling road set up minimal.

Thirdly, all participants will be treated the same, as per our SIDC track days. SIDC member will not take priority over non-members, regarding running orders, etc. However please note if people are only available during the Morning or Afternoon due to work commitments we will do our very best to accommodate requests

Fourthly, the actual day will be Sunday 26th Sept, with a start time of about 10.30, to be confirmed with Gavin Wallace.

Looking forward to seeing you all at our first SIDC rolling road day in Aberdeen

"the white hot fridge" ...pmsl!

26th is good for me and i have to say 2 power runs for £25 seems like excellent VFM. Can't wait!

[Numptie]

Hi Jools,

Yes, please consider me confirmed.

Car?

Base case should be 2003 Westfield MegaBlade (RWD)

Second choice (in case I have probelms or it's slashing down) MY02 STi UK Prodrive

If there's a spare slot, ideally, I'd take both cars. But only if it's certain that won't detract from what everyone else's wants to get out of the day.

Cheers,

N

Jools

Definately interested in the RR. We are however not available any weekend in September except the 2nd weekend, so for us it all depends on date but not too bothered if we miss this one as I am sure that it will be done again.

Let me know......

Sarah

[Shaun]

Should be OK for the 26th. I am supposed to be offshore but have applied for some leave that I am due. So as long as no one pulls a sicky or has to go off the platform early I should be there.

Shaun

[MikeABZ]

26th should be fine with me!

Cheers,

Mike

Kev - your ALWAYS home! - You never seem to work (even when you do you don't)

Boyakasha - PM or phone me once you get the Oil and we'll take it from there.

Sadly I am offshore for this as I'd have loved to show up a few people with the torque on this new "baby" of mine (pimp tints and all!)

PS Had a look around at lunchtime whilst out shopping for Loft ladders etc. Looks like a very impressive piece of kit and set-up!

PS JohnS; Best place for quality loft ladder is Costco. They do one with a spring-loaded 3-section wooden ladder that fits between trusses with 600mm centres. Open the hatch and the whole thing unfolds with no hassle. (Hope they still do them.) Easy to fit as well.
