hi guys, im thinking of entering the auto66 sprint at olivers mount 3/4th may

obviously I need a race suit, gloves and fia crash hat
msa licence

any thing else I need?

also, does anyone know how much it costs?

thanks
matt

yes its on auto 66 website and is part of longton and district motor clubs speed series. its a hillclimb by the way. I was intending on doing it with LDMC but Liverpool motor club are at Anglesey the same weekend so am doing that instead.
you need a non race national b race license first.which you apply for and you will receive a coby of the 'blue book' msa regs. you need to read it through carefully as if you take your car in its current state.you will almost certainly fail scrutineering on the day. pm me if you need more info

the only details I can find on the auto66 site is the date

unless you have to be a member of the club before you can enter and see the cost?

I don't fancy paying to be a member just to find out I cant afford it right now

changing this as per the blue book is another issue I might have, im only home for a few days prior to the event so don't have much time!
are there any major changes I would need to do?

go to auto66.com then on left side of page event entries. half way down age it turns pink at olivers mount section,then you can download regs and entry forms but you do need to be a member of an associated club.
I suggest you do the reseach,join a club,get your car and safety gear sorted then enter a sprint. bltyton are hosting a full weekend in july which will be ace!

As said above Hillclimbs tend to be invite only so you need to be a member of one the relevant groups to be eligable to enter the race.

The subject was discused recently on a thread about someone wanting to do the ARDS race test.

This link will possibly help get you started with what you need for Hillclimbs.

entries close tomorrow for olivers mount too so no chance now. get the licence sorted.join Liverpool motor club and chester and Liverpool speed championship (speedchampionship.co.uk) and do some events. harewood,blyton,anglesey,aintree,olivers mount,3 sisters,barbon. all on calendar this year.

IM in Scarborough. Didn't realise olivers mount was so close

oh i thought i had replied to this the other day

I think ill book to do Cadwell park on the 2nd, then just have a drive down to Scarborough over the weekend to see what goes on and have a chat to folk

don't think I'm free to do any others until the end of the year though

now would be a good time to get safety gear sorted, license sorted, club membership sorted (usually around £10 and generally get £5-£10 off each event if a member) then look at regs to make sure you and the car comply. then when your back your ready to go!
