It means that the Mincross championship will be running at British Rallycross Championship (BRxC) rounds this season alongside the clubmans championship (BTRDA). For the last few years Minicross has run alongside the Rallycross Open Championship (RxOC) but this is no longer the case.

Cujo · 6 Apr 2010, 13:30 (Ref:2667638)

It's on the dyno Thursday Rob, so hopefully all will be revealed

Cujo · 11 Apr 2010, 10:18 (Ref:2670534)

An interesting day's racing at Lydden yesterday, still can't shift the misfire but it runs a lot better now.

Sorry that Tris and Gerald had problems, I had a couple of good, clean races with Mary – that 8 port has impressive grunt.
The CofC was busy after the race, good to see that SEMSEC are policing driving standards - I know that doesn't help you repair your car though Tris!

Thanks to KJW for getting me out for the second race, the broken exhaust sounded like a Spitfire from inside the car!

Good luck to those Minis heading for Germany next weekend

Robert Morris · 11 Apr 2010, 13:11 (Ref:2670671)

Seem we missed some fun but was sorting ready for germany as we are off on wednesday.
Gerald told me his car it will be sorted in time.
So what damage has Tris got?
Steve what you doing about that miss fire then? Dont forget spa 29 may
Bill did the metro behave?

Minicross424 · 11 Apr 2010, 16:48 (Ref:2670919)

A hero in a blue Genetta turned left into me off the start of first race ripped off arch, stoved in wing, buggered tracking and tore metal front.
Also had car dying on me as well as electrical problems.
Two dnf not impressed.

kjw · 11 Apr 2010, 18:45 (Ref:2671016)

Bad luck Tris hope you get it sorted OK.

Sorry to hear Tris, is yours a full fibreglass front end? If so, we've just replaced ours so may have one spare, let me know if that's of any use to you.

It will be OK for Spa Robert, I have sent you a pm

Bill won both races in the Metro, so I guess it behaved

Robert Morris · 13 Apr 2010, 06:28 (Ref:2671796)

Minicross424 · 13 Apr 2010, 06:29 (Ref:2671798)

Humm 29th May, might be worth a look

DMN Brands Hatch Sun 18/4/10.

Just a brief 'get well soon' to Bill Richards (and his Mini) after the nasty accident, through no fault of his own, at BH today.Our contact with Bill has invairably been one of asking for advice, parts or assistance and he has always been patient,helpful and encouraging.
Very best wishes for a speedy return to the track Bill, from Richard and Chris Watkinson.

Robert Morris · 20 Apr 2010, 06:01 (Ref:2676318)

Bill here is whishing you a speady recovery following that horrific accident, as you know we were all in Germany but heard about it within seconds, that goes to prove the scale of your following.
Well best whishes from us all at purple raceing, get sorted in time to kick A--- in the next round.

Chris_w · 20 Apr 2010, 08:09 (Ref:2676364)

Brilliant. It started with Gemma on thursday enjoying a 40 min test session on the gp circuit on her own.
Then we had a 30 min practise on friday and a 30 min race on sat and finally 25 min race on sunday.
The results for us brits as follows. Gerald Dale first both races, Ken welch 2rd both races. Gemma 6th in class and best lady, Gordon 2 no dnf.
the clan blew hole in block during practise.
What i noticed standing on the pit wall was the stadard of the rolling start, The front row men kept the pack nice and tight and neither made a brake untill the correct signal.With 50 plus starters seemed very good to me
we are looking forward to the next event.

Robert Morris · 22 Apr 2010, 18:09 (Ref:2677990)

Just got no2 engine stripped and it has a broken crank, so engine wise we had a very expensive weekend, and looks like i got to spend some more hard earnt pocket money.

Cujo · 22 Apr 2010, 19:17 (Ref:2678021)

Not good Robert, did it make the end of the race like it - or has it taken out everything else?

Steve unfortunatley Gordon had 2 dnf firstly his no1 engine had a detination problem and blew head gasket and damaged the block between 1 and 2. i guess that long straight flat out for the lenght was a bit to much, for a distributor ignition.
we then put my spare in and it lasted 4 laps the crank broke in no 4 big end, luckly did not let go completely. now got to work out what is salvagable. Only 4 weeks to SPA

Minicross424 · 23 Apr 2010, 15:48 (Ref:2678516)

Blimey Rob those engines are not too reliable are they?
Fingers crossed, never had such problems with my unit.
I expect I will next be out June 12 and 13 with the barc.
