Deckman001 - 17/6/04 at 08:13 AM

Back to the top


James - 17/6/04 at 11:33 AM

Sounds fun- any idea what time and how much?

James


Jasper - 17/6/04 at 11:45 AM

Three Sundays locosting in a row would be pushing my luck a little I think


Deckman001 - 17/6/04 at 12:08 PM

Am sure last year it was about a tenner to get in, but others managed to blag it !!
Think the practice is mid morning due to noise restrictions and races go on till late afternoon, not sure what else is racing that day, but is usually loads of fun , took the kids last year and they had a good time as well !!

I am definitely going and it would be nice to meet some of you guys and also to see some good racing.

Obviously I won't be in a kit car as it's still being built but will bring the trusty white Cavalier plus customary England flag!! :-)

Does anyone know what sort of access to the pits there is on these kind of race days as I would like to have a look round as I am intending to do some sprintingracing once the car is finished.

Bob, I could bring the bits with me if you want?

Rich.


Deckman001 - 17/6/04 at 08:33 PM

Rich, The last time I was there watchin the locosts, they were saddled with the 'real' pits, and access there was a bit difficult to say the least, I still managed, but the racers said it was a bit lonely !!.
If you know any of the racers personally, it might be wise to 'arrange' a visit in case they are in the same place

bob - 26/6/04 at 05:53 PM

I've evidently been enjoying myself far too much words have been had
and i am sad to say i will not be joining my friends at brands hatch .

If anyone has a spare room which also has the benefit a garage too i may be interested,oh and if they have a nice sister (legal)or mother come to think of it that too would be a bonus


Deckman001 - 26/6/04 at 05:56 PM

And I thought I was under a thumb !! Know what you mean tho, saved up my passes to get to go to Brands, that and got Paul to help with the conversation

Jason

Jason


zetec - 27/6/04 at 08:48 AM

Will be getting there for 1200ish. Looking at the map if I understand right I should be going passed the pits and turn right up towards Druids...Hope to see a few of you.


Peteff - 27/6/04 at 01:03 PM

theconrodkid - 27/6/04 at 07:53 PM

dunno where you got to kevin?we had a great time,nice weather and some close racing,bit crispy round the face at the mo


Surrey Dave - 27/6/04 at 08:31 PM

I've got the neck and arms to go with your crispy face, ouch!! my ears are burning

My car was parked on South Bank, where were you Zetec...............


scutter - 27/6/04 at 09:19 PM

Cheers all for a cool day, shame i look like a swan vesta.

Dave we were sat on the outside off paddock hill bend.

Later Dan.

P.S. Zetec saw you car on the way out, very nice.


Surrey Dave - 27/6/04 at 09:52 PM

I'm confused now......

I thought I sat with you fozzie ,Conrod etc , and I thought I walked round the paddock with you (Scutter?) and Conrod...........Must be the sun


Fozzie - 27/6/04 at 10:45 PM

Don't worry about it Dave, you were with us, poor old Dan must have had too much sun! I think he meant to write Kevin, not Dave!!! LOL
It was a great day out, great racing, great weather, brilliant spectating points, and great company!

fozzie


scutter - 28/6/04 at 05:41 AM

Bugger, may go and lie down

Dan.


zetec - 28/6/04 at 07:39 AM

I went into the Paddock entrance by mistake, parked in the car park. Now where do we pay?? Went with three mates, one on a bike one in a Cobra and all got in for free! Must be kit car drivers special offer.

Sat in the stands for the races, that sun was hot! Had a walk around the paddock at lunch time. Got a price for some Yoko off G Polley tyre stand and had to go for a sit down as I was feeling a little faint!

Will try to get to Newlands again, can't get lost there!
