Raider Posted May 5, 2009 Share Posted May 5, 2009 This is just brilliant and deserves to be a success.It is also a round of the Driver Challenge so well worth entering for that reason alone ;)If you enjoyed the recent trackday at Cadwell why not give this a go too - only £45 entry fee and it's competitive 8) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ellis Posted May 5, 2009 Share Posted May 5, 2009 Does that mean you're coming down for a visit Mr Raider ?? (Yorkshire teabags on standby !!) ;) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tim Bancroft Posted May 5, 2009 Author Share Posted May 5, 2009 Sadly I think Martin is taking part in a rally that w'end.Anyrate, we all know a GT6 will slaughter a TR7 at this discipline!!!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Raider Posted May 5, 2009 Share Posted May 5, 2009 Alas no, I can't make it as I am indeed rallying.It will be our third rally - this one at Manby.I don't know about a GT6 beating a TR7 but, to be fair, I'd probably get lost on an Autoslo without Sarah giving me the directions! :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tim Bancroft Posted May 5, 2009 Author Share Posted May 5, 2009 As you can place a GT6 or even better a Spitfire very accurately I think they would do very well. My GT6s present 3.63:1 is bit too long legged for these events, will change for a 3.85:1, think this would be a major improvement.So far two entrants:1. Mike Helm: TR62. Tim Bancroft: GT6 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Clive Posted May 9, 2009 Share Posted May 9, 2009 oooh, is there camping there for the pre-race BBQ and beers :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tim Bancroft Posted May 9, 2009 Author Share Posted May 9, 2009 Camping is not organised at pres., might be able to arrange.Its a good point, Doug and Clive will be travelling 100 miles to get to Hemel.We had to be careful about the venue as we are leaning on some people to provide equipment, eg the company I work for is providing traffic cones FOC, Mike Helm is providing other equipment.I think you would enjoy the event Jon, why not come down and take part? If you enjoy it why not then think about organising a A'solo in Lancs? I'd come up to take part. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
