Hi Guys n’Dolls.
Latest squeal from Amy on behalf of the organisers:
"Fingers crossed the weather looks ok for next Saturday. Gates will open from 9am to the public so please can you aim to be in place prior to that. When you arrive my colleague Hayley will be around – if you need help finding your parking spaces please phone her on 07720 364 420. If you can either give your £5 per car to her when you see her to come into the Strawford Centre and give it to one of the team wearing purple. I am going to try and put up signs on the Friday night so it should be clear where your car club needs to park.
The passenger rides on track registration will open from 9am and will be done from the Strawford Centre. The Bristol Motor Club will be running their Autosolo event throughout the day. We have Stand against Speed and Wessex 4 x 4 with a small cars and track for children. We will be holding a raffle throughout the day for £1 you can be in a chance to win a lucky dip ride in a car. We will do a draw at 11am and 1pm."
Go for it Mr Muppet, we need a ‘Servizio Corse ‘ vehicle for any localised emergency I.e. a vital need to cook some burgers/sausages etc. or polish the car.
I suggest you park near the fence parallel with the track which is what I intend to do to hide the bad side of the GTV.
I have 2 fire extinguishers onboard ‘Just in case’
Hi Guys, I have been in touch with Richard (the event organiser) he invited me to be one of the cars on the circuit together with a Ferrari 488 GTB taking passengers for their racing experience. I am gutted that at this time I had to refuse it as I can’t justify to put the GS over 2.5/hrs of 90% racing pace. I volunteered to help on the day, and if there will be the necessity I will be on hand to take some slots during the day, but I can’t do the full day schedule which amounts for the 2.5/hrs at high speed pace.
Don’t let them persuade you to skip the 3 familiarisation laps as we all know how treacherous the ‘Combe grip can be and it was one of the factors apart from stupidity in my ‘adventure’ last year!
For anyone interested in the slalom I have attached a plan of the course.
I have to say that it can heat up the power steering fluid which is why I added slick 50 in the GTV system after my runs a couple of years ago!
Well. all looking good at the moment I will post anything else you need to know that comes up before the event.
The hand is almost there, but I’m not sure I can fix and MOT the 164 in time, and I have a number of jobs I’ve been intending to do for a while so she is of the road at least until spring
Merc it will have to be unfortunately- if I stick the BBQ in could I get on our stand as the catering van?
