Aintree sprint 26th April & Barbon 10th May
Anyone doing any of these events, I've just entered them so need to get cracking with the car and all the other bits.
I need msa crash helmet & gloves, log book, timing strut, door squares, kill switch pull, tow decals and a load of other bits, but should be good.

not doing Aintree, as im at Loton Park Monday then Angle-in-the-sea 3rd/4th May so Aintree would've been 4 events in 3 successive weekends.
will do the June ish Aintree though. Reasonably basic for a sprint, only a few corners, but good fun nonetheless.

will look out for you on the island, I will be in a ModProd Scimitar Sabre

you don't 'need' door squares, black numbers on a contrasting background (assuming neon green!) is fine.
re kill switch pull, buy a decent one, I use the lifeline extinguisher ones as thye are better than the cheap tat versions. Before using, coat with
grease or Vaseline as they capillary water and seize up! Lifeline ones the Bowden is coated not just bare steel so a little better.
for tow decals and cutoff decals, but the 'scrutineers friend' decals sheets from Demon Tweeks or RalDes.

Taking car for log book tomorrow so fingers crossed. Got gloves and ordered helmet today, good thinking about the pull cable, I got one with the cut
off key and it look's a good one.
Been told I might not need to fit that external cut off switch cable as long as I can turn the key from the drivers seat, any ideas. Not sure if the
numbers will pull the paint off so thats why I thought about door squares.

If the cars going to be sports libre and log booked im pretty sure you'll need an external cutoff pull.
If the cars road legal ie taxed motd and insured and in a mod prod or road going class then a sign on the quarter light describing where the ignition
cutoff is, is sufficient, but not sure it's ok for sports libre if the cars not road legal
Door squares are a great idea to protect the paint especially on plastic cars lol. But you won't need them fitted for the log book if ya running
short of time

Yeah I think I need the external pull cord fitted. I can do it in the morning. The car is road legal, taxed and mot'd, but don't fit any
class cos I've put the 2ltr honda motor in it. As far as I can tell it's sports libre.
Please tell me I dont need fire extinguisher as if one is fitted it needs to be in date.
Dan I might struggle to do Anglesea as I havent booked the ferry and my pasport has run out. lol

of the earth!

No, only competing at Loton Monday 21st, although only live 3 miles away and am Loton club member so attend most events to watch with my kids nd have
the banter with my mates there. Are you there Sunday then?

I would like to come and watch, but need to be back home for 5.30pm on both days so that will mess the day up with traveling time.
Looking forward to doing the event though at some stage. Only been once just watching but it look's a good venue.
Got the car log booked today so another step forward.

Our championship has 22 events, mix of race circuits, sprints and hillclimb. Loton is my fave hill, but like all hillclimb really, huge sensation of
speed. Sprints are fun, and love castle Combe but places like Brands Hatch Indy just leave me cold, no sensation of speed really. wisdom be Park,
Gurston down and Harewood are all good though, at Harewood in June iirc

Did Aintree, my first sprint and enjoyed a perfect day weather wise. First practice run was like driving on marbles as my slick's had loads of
debris stuck to them from Blyton, so I instantly learned that the tyres should have been clean. The rear tyres soon cleaned up so I swapped the tyres
around putting the fronts onto the rear and the car behaved fairly well from then on getting quicker each test. Still having some handling issues as
the car is very nervous, but on reflection think that could also be down to my tyres as they have uneven wear due to being under inflated.
Question, If I put some wider rear tyres on for the next event what if anything will that possably do to the handling caracturistics as the front end
is and always has been planted, but as I've been on 195's front and rear I have been struggling with the rear grip.
