I might pop up on the saturday weather permiting me> ex stock hatch racer and it would be good to watch some RGB's so two birds and all that


progers - 13/7/08 at 06:37 PM

RGB will be racing on the Sunday I'm afraid!

I have also entered the allcomers, will be a bit of a shock to the system getting scrutineered at 7.30am in the morning so I'd better lay off the beer on Saturday night

Who's doing the track day on Friday day or evening (I'm booked on the day)

Does anyone know whats the score with getting in to the paddock if I arrive on Thursday night.

Cheers

Hi yep also doing the trackday on friday with a few cars.

It will be the usual procedure in that they will allow you as far as the entrance to the circuit. You will have to park up on the approach road to the gate as you are not permitted to enter the circuit it's self.

And then get up early and move in to the circuit on Friday morning. Quite bizarre as there will be 250-300 people staying overnight on Friday and Saturday. But thats the way they do it.

See you there Thursday night.

Cheers Matt

Have fun everyone.

Don't forget my propshaft Matt

Is that the paddock entrance (just outside the walls).


procomp - 14/7/08 at 02:06 PM

Hi yep you get as far as the gate / main entrance. By the cafe / paddock 3 on the plan for the weekend. Just park alongside the roadway that runs parralel with the wall.

Craig should have prop done for Thursday hopefully so will bring it to donny.

Cheers matt

Cheers, Rob.

Hi Rob i will bring a set to Donny with me for you.

I did send reply to your Email. Not surprised if it did not go through have had some problems with the email since back of hols. I think that over a 1000 on the inbox has got it a bit confused . But it's working now ( i think ).

Cheers Matt

andylancaster3000 - 17/7/08 at 08:47 PM

I'm there, I'm there, I'm there!!

Kits #29.

Bit of a mad rush one way and another. Rolling road last Friday, engine in bits again by the next day, back together and running again now. Ain't this motorsport lark fun...


procomp - 21/7/08 at 08:08 AM

Hi well that was a surprising weekend. was expecting rain on Fri + Sat + Sun and what do we get a couple of showers and dry racing. Thats 4 meetings in a row.

I blame those RGB drivers with there new 048 wet tyres.

Sorry Andy i missed you on the entry list. Also #71 KITS MAWMAW made a last minute decision to come and play also. I Think it was worth it with a second in class and 4th overall.

Hopfully some videos to come from the locost race wich was quite exciting with 8 cars battling for the win. I will put the links to the results for the different races up when they are available shortly.

Well they are getting quite efficient on the new 750 site they are up already.

LOCOST RESULTS

RGB RESULTS

KITS RESULTS

BIKE SPORTS RESULTS

Also as most of the ALLCOMERS race was dominated by kitcars here are those results also.
ALLCOMERS RESULTS

Cheers Matt

great race meeting - enjoyed my first visit to a 750 meeting - next time i hope to bring the car over and race...

Good to catch up Matt - will give yo a buzz in a day or two ref the shocks...

Mark.


andylancaster3000 - 21/7/08 at 06:10 PM

No worries Matt I almost fell over with surprise when I checked to see if results were up at lunch today...

Was a good weekend of racing from the little I saw of it. Just a shame this damn CVH is playing up like it is and only giving me 1.5 laps of racing. I can feel a zetec change fast approaching!


mawmaw - 21/7/08 at 06:34 PM

andy i have a spare zetec se in the garage, you know it makes sense!!! sorry i didn't come over and say hello on sunday, i had my 9 year old lad with me so was busy either watching the racing or playing football when i wasn't racing. Have a chat with matt about CVH's he has plenty of experience of them in his pre locost days.
