I will sit down tomorrow and post entries so far. Looks like we are going to have a Ferrari display as well so if anyone wants a ride out to Henley on Thames with their road car Ferrari you will be most welcome.Good old Al has come up with computer game where you can try and beat my time in the Compte's Elite around Spa.So all you MGB owners had better come along and have a go. I do need donations towards school bus to enter.Prize could be Peter's bottle of wine from the Compte.

Alan Morgan · 16 May 2009, 20:56 (Ref:2463648)

Point of order, Mr Chairman...

It's not a game, it's a simulation.

Iain, I haven't got a track model for the "Hamilton Chicane" version of Spa, so we might not be able to use your time from April this year. What was your best time from the "Bus Stop" days?

Failing that - I've got Brands GP, Dijon, Hockenheim (without the angry Austrian Elan driver)

Which circuit do you think gives you the best chance of not being beaten by an eight year old (or his/her Yummy Mummy)?

delta · 17 May 2009, 07:31 (Ref:2463793)

Can i have a cop out! We could use yours and the Compte's times from Brands GP.

terence · 17 May 2009, 07:36 (Ref:2463794)

Too late,the guantlet is down.

delta · 17 May 2009, 09:11 (Ref:2463821)

Ive had a great response but could still do with a Formula Vee FFord Formula Renault and some more saloons.

delta · 19 May 2009, 07:31 (Ref:2464948)

Wow fantastic news. A freind who races with you Tim in his replica Cobra is going to bring his Model A Ford Dirt track car that he now races in VSCC. I poped over to see him last night and the car is just awesome.I have about thirty cars now but still need a modern saloon." Stock hatch, Fiesta something like that.

I bet we'll end up replacing the head gasket on it. If it's Graham, he has a Kougar.

terence · 19 May 2009, 08:54 (Ref:2464995)

That would be good,at least the kiddies get an insiders view of classic engines.

robm · 19 May 2009, 11:04 (Ref:2465058)

Hi Iain, Well done!!! as per our phone conversation I will let you have a load of GoMotorsport goodies for the kids (pencils - stickers and so on). If I am not at Combe I will bring the Formula ford along.

This is exactly what we need to bring our sport to more people. Anyone else who feels they may know a school or other youth group that would benefit from a GoMotorsport presentation in my area (south & south west) give me a call - have got some Williams F1 bits from the factory to show etc. Probably not supposed to promote web sites on here but this is set up to help us all (subsidised karting for kids for a fiver! at various tracks) have a look at gomotorsportdotnet

Good luck Iain

Philip Venables · 21 May 2009, 19:20 (Ref:2466656)

Ian, dont know if you received my e-mail, do you want the Nota FJ?

delta · 21 May 2009, 20:03 (Ref:2466691)

No e mail Phillip and it goes without saying how much i would love to have you Barbara and the Nota. YES PLEASE>. I will PM you details.I was waiting for my third bit of good news and its just come.Terrance rang me when i was shopping in Tesco,s but sorry Tell that does not count.The first two were getting my ToyotaF3 cylinder head back and the second knowing im going to be in the same race as Sir Stirling Moss on Monday.

Alan Morgan · 10 Jun 2009, 05:50 (Ref:2478895)

Just a blatent bump to remind everyone that Iain's racing car show is this Sunday 12:00-16:00 at Vanalloys Industrial Estate, Stoke Row, near Henley-on-Thames.

All proceeds to the Stoke Row School minibus appeal.

The bogey time for the "Elite Dijon Challenge" (see earlier) is 1:48.26, by the way.

terence · 10 Jun 2009, 06:56 (Ref:2478907)

So Iain only need's to find six seconds then.

**Tim Falce** · 10 Jun 2009, 13:08 (Ref:2479151)

I have PM'd Iain but had no reply but just to confirm I can't make it due to illness in the family and my daughter moving house.

MGDavid · 10 Jun 2009, 14:15 (Ref:2479206)

I will be there as long as I come back from Oulton Park Saturday with it in one piece.

delta · 10 Jun 2009, 18:21 (Ref:2479463)

Just back from my trip to Spa and Monza. Thanks for PM Tim fully understand. Looking foward to meeting you Dave. I stopped in at East Enders on the way back and stocked up booze for the BBQ. Looks like we have nearly 40 cars but still no FFord. Any takers out there.?

delta · 14 Jun 2009, 06:14 (Ref:2482627)

Just gone 7am so far so good lots of cars turned up and the sun is out. Just waiting for Morgan to get up and cook breakfast. Report and pics later.Hope too see some of you later.

Alan Crook · 15 Jun 2009, 07:08 (Ref:2483535)

Around 60 cars were at Iain`s show more than £1000 was raised for the local school mini bus. Ross Brawn turned up to have a look around.

Thanks to Iain for allowing us to take over his awning and for the BBQ.

delta · 15 Jun 2009, 08:38 (Ref:2483585)

Alan dont thank me it was you and Fay that gave up your time. Well what a weekend . Sat afternoon clearing up the estate and sorting cars. Then it rained and we had to push them all back in the workshops.Nice BBQ and some fun on Alans simulator. Then it happened wait for it.!!!!!!!/ Phone call from Castle Combe and Paul Smith has broken driveshaft on his F3 Martini. I have a look at all my spare shafts and nothing in stock. Ring the boys back and say if they cant sort it we will have to make a shaft. Cut a long story short finnished shaft just gone midnight and sent the shaft made of scrap tube out of the grundon back to Combe with strict instructions to go easy at the start. Well the shaft lasted and Paul won the race.

.Back too the show and Morgan finnally made me and Gary Critcher breakfast. All my mates tuned up to help and i started to panic a bit as by 10.30 we still did not have any more cars for the show.11 am and a steady flow of trailers appeared and i was in full control setting up where i wanted the different cars to be displayed. And still more came untill i lost it and hid in my workshop and just made tea for everyone."where do you want this one parked Iain" ANYWHERE!!!!!!!!!!!. Mega thanks to everyone over £1000.00 raised and its still comming in. I said hi to Ross Brawn but i got a blank look back from him in rerturn but it was good that he took time out to come and talk to people. Top Bloke.More pics posted later.

Ross even made time to come to our marshals stand & have his photo with Fay & George Bunn.

delta · 15 Jun 2009, 12:05 (Ref:2483725)

delta · 15 Jun 2009, 16:58 (Ref:2483882)

Here's my pics.[img=http://img145.imageshack.us/img145/135/silverstonejustaperfect.th.jpg]

**Tim Falce** · 15 Jun 2009, 17:55 (Ref:2483910)

Iain, there's only one there, do you have any more?
Glad it was a big success.

Eddy V · 15 Jun 2009, 20:48 (Ref:2484034)

Nice for you guys that is was such a succes, at least you had some nice weather. Let me know when you plan to do it next year, whenever I have time I'll come and help.

delta · 16 Jun 2009, 06:19 (Ref:2484228)

Not sure where to go now with the show. Allready been offered Renault F1 car and i was told yesterday i could of had Richard Burns rally cars if i had asked.Fay and Alan did a great job telling people how to get invollved in Marshalling and if you came over Eddy we could push the more international stage. Will have a go later and upload some more pic's but im a 56 year old motor mechanic and struggle just sending e mails.
