DTRC Castle Combe June 24/25th

Shawn · 9 Jun 2006, 19:42 (Ref:1630799)

So it's my turn to start this one

I have posted the entries received so far for Castle Combe. There are currently 19 and can be viewed on the your usual, very informative website.

Suze · 10 Jun 2006, 00:05 (Ref:1630922)

I'm hoping to get there for some of it, having not seen DTRC since Brands in April....Combe being my local circuit (15 mins) you'd think it'd be easy - but no, 80th birthday family thing

Plan is to get there for the Saturday / Sunday afternoons if possible. Least they moved the party thing so I don't miss LM....you can never win!

Is that all Shawn we want at least a full grid of 42

You wont get a full grid when rockingham are offering two 20 min races for £150

Yeah sorry peeps thats the one I have opted for. More a personal thing than money though as I have never raced at Rockingham and doubt I will get another chance where as I have raced Combe three or four times. I would still say however it will be more fun out with you guys.

R59 · 10 Jun 2006, 13:42 (Ref:1631154)

Not forgetting that that Castle Combe Saloons guys are also welcome to join the DTRC grid too........... (and in some cases vice-versa no doubt!)

They'll be there....
In fact I will even get Rod to bet you a fiver that there's at least 35...
ish. Probably more seeing that there is cheap food on offer. And no it's not Suze's party that we are all gate crashing afterwards

p.s What's a Rubber Mixer ? I am am visualising all kinds of weird and wonderful things right now.

Suze · 11 Jun 2006, 17:05 (Ref:1631778)

You wouldn't want to...it's one of those nasty 80th birthday things!

Shawn · 11 Jun 2006, 19:28 (Ref:1631863)

Not sure. I reckon some of the boys would feel quite at home.....ay Eric ?

And don't say you're not going either. There is a rumour going round that you are strangly drawn towards Castles. Or is that only on Treasure Hunts ?

**Tim Falce** · 11 Jun 2006, 19:48 (Ref:1631874)

This

is the only thing Eric has been drawn to today. He will be going as I want a video of the track before I go next month

Suze · 11 Jun 2006, 21:32 (Ref:1631941)

Aw Shawn.....should have a proper bbq on the Sat night....

Castles - directed at me? If so.... *whoosh*

Rod Birley · 11 Jun 2006, 22:03 (Ref:1631964)

More entries are now being received, particularly as several drivers will qualify for the end of year rebate to offset this rather expensive (by DT&R standards) entry fee.

Suze · 11 Jun 2006, 22:05 (Ref:1631966)

How much are they asking> Not surprised it's expensive, Vees certainly seemed it at the beginning of the season (compared to elsewhere).

Rod Birley · 11 Jun 2006, 22:09 (Ref:1631973)

The cost is set by BARC HQ, its £250,which will mean we won't get our 38 car average

Suze · 11 Jun 2006, 22:13 (Ref:1631978)

Ah ok....Vees was £180. Think CCFF is the same but with a rebate system...

Al Weyman · 12 Jun 2006, 07:25 (Ref:1632151)

Blimey Rod thats expensive, unlike you to let them get away with that! :-)

It's Eric who has got the thing going with Castles. We had a treasure hunt a year or so ago and he managed to end up at a Castle, which as luck would have it was approx 25 miles from where everyone else was...

I expect he will be on here later given his side of the story, but between you and me don't believe a word of it...

Sorry to hear about your incident at Lydden Eric. I hope you can manage to get something sorted for Castle Combe.

Suze · 12 Jun 2006, 08:11 (Ref:1632199)

Thanks Shawn....glad it wasn't meant at me as it meant nothing!

Ian Sowman · 12 Jun 2006, 08:11 (Ref:1632200)

Vees were organised by CCRC Suze. This meeting is organised by BARC.

Yes Ian, I'm aware of that thanks - still doesn't change the fact that both of them seem expensive in comparison to other meetings.

Al Weyman · 12 Jun 2006, 09:02 (Ref:1632239)

He beat me at Brands Indy in Classic Thunder Graham but the car is getting better and I only just slung the new suspension on for the CT race and have since set it all up hopefully properly (the thing was towing in 8mm and the anti-roll bars had a 10mm set in to them, 30mm too low at the back and corner weights all over the show) as I am hoping to stay on the same lap as you guys next time! Also got a new alloy rad coming today and a programed electronic ignition on its way (get rid of the points at last!)/

Rod Birley · 12 Jun 2006, 09:16 (Ref:1632252)

If we go back to Combe it will be with their club rather than BARC HQ. As Graham mentioned we are offering a rebate scheme, which could amount to £150 for drivers who regularly support our races.

So does that mean you won't be coming to combe then Rod?

chezza · 12 Jun 2006, 14:17 (Ref:1632509)

I am looking forward to this one. I'll be there in my marshalling capacity, and I promise not to jinx any cars this time! (Sorry Andy W).

It should be a great weekend and with the bargainous food being organised too the social side of things should be excellent!
