Crystal Palace Sprint 2011 - 29th / 30th May
Rather than start a new thread I thought I would post here. I'm hoping to be able to enter myself this year. I know it might be a daft question but will the course remain the same as last years?
Anyway, I have joined S&DMC and my first ever event will be North Weald April 3rd. Mine will be the old e21 BMW so feel free to say hi. I'll be the one trying to balance triple Webers! |

Sorry Mark, I appear to have missed your post. Yes as far as I know the course is the same. Enjoy North Weald - I can't make it as off elsewhere rallying that weekend, but hope you have a good time! Few years ago there was snow for that event....

Bit of fuel line and an ear-hole can get them pretty close to balance..... E21 is a great car, bit lively at the rear end so North Weald should be good fun! Matt@codered. |

Scruit at North Weald I can Borrow for 10 mins?
Sorry to Hijack the thread....
Hi Suze.. I am competing in my first Sprint event at Lydden on 9th April and wondered if I would be able to get 10 mins with a Scruitineer at North Weald to have a quick run over my car rather than having a panic on the 9th. I am entered in Class 2 (Standard Roadgoing up to 2000cc) and my car is standard, so (hope) it will just be a quick once over and an all clear. Do you think this would be OK? Cheers Steve |

Hi Steve, do you want to drop me a PM with your email address? In the meantime I've passed your query on to a couple of the officials of the NW event. Enjoy Lydden!

I see the entry list is now up - looks good.
Anyone have any idea what car parking will be like/will it be possible to park at lunchtime? I'm presuming it will be impossible given the size of the car park!! |

Last year parking was on the upper terrace, but whilst it filled up there was still parking at lunchtime ish on the Monday IIRC.

Thanks for replying Think its probably best to go on the train though.
It seems a bit quiet on here this year, going to be excellent though - a shame I can only make the Sunday afternoon. |

Thanks Peter .More to the point are the pressures to do other things at the weekends/Bank Holidays.paid work,DIY,family things etc. Just need the organisers to confirm I/ we are required for the event ,and if not I can occupy the long weekend with alternative activities.

I am sure that Suze will read our recent comments on this thread and pass them on to the organising committee as appropriate. |

Paperwork, passes, etc., just received in today's post. Hopefully, Nick, yours will be waiting for you at home.

Yes Peter, just caught up with your comments now - been a loooong day at work! Sorry for the delay, and will pass them on.
Although not involved in the event, if your tickets haven't arrived today let me know - I'll pass on to the appropriate person, or you can email marshals@motorsportatthepalace.co.uk Unfortunately not being involved, I don't know when things are due to be sent out etc and so cannot communicate on that front unless I hear anything, but of course happy to help where I can. |

No worries Peter - up until the beginning of April I was on the committee and had been for a few years, but have not been involved in the CP event, but still happy to help / pass on news / comments etc as necessary

results from both days are now posted on the website - the Stohr Le Mans lookalike was fastest both days, but only just... many cars in the smaller cars punching above their weight (for reference, 40 seconds is the magic mark that based on last year is what signified a real good lap).
If you are on that facebook thing, "motorsport at crystal palace" will have many pics & videos shared on it - inluding my pants-changing run in the Nissan GTR pace car BTW - mother nature clearly loves motorsport but hates me, threatened to rain most of today but didn't until 5 minutes after the final run when I was trying to put my perfectly dry tent away |

Welcome to ten tenths Richard. Have only seen the one lot of photos of the Palace (which had good pics of your car). Glad to hear you enjoyed yourself - am sure most spectators appreciated seeing your old bus.
