Tin Tops 2011
I'm liking the race dates and variety of circuits for the coming season
Who's up for Donnington on the 1st October - excellent track. A little concerned that on Rodders website it says DMN and TinTops combined for this event. With only 36 grid capacity I reckon this could be well over subscribed. If we check out the popularity of this track now is there a possibility of seperate races for DMN and TinTops?? Other than that, spot on, well done the organisers |

Done last race of season 2010 for tintops at Brands Hatch. Great field, would like to do more races with you. Have joined BARC. Can't find information on regs, dates etc. Only able to do rounds in the south of England. Thanks.

Entry forms for 2011 aren't available yet but will be soon. Rods website has the regs and registration forms available though.

Not a lot happening on here, I've been trying to upload a couple of videos of the 2010 Tin Tops season, but the b*****d things keep saying 'unsuccessful'.
They are longer than 10 mins and less than 15, and apparently you can upload over 15 mins onto youtube now. Does anyone know if you have to change your account or pay or something? I know this is slightly off thread but it is relevant and when the vids are up you will see what I mean. Cheers |

Funnily enough I've also studied it,there are some real differences to the lines that I take,especially Clearways,plus I use 2nd gear around Druids and 3rd gear for a lot more of the circuit than you but I guess that goes with having a faster car and higher gearing. What do you rev to in 4th?

Yes, that's the intention. We did a double header with them at Pembrey last year and thoroughly enjoyed it. The class structure has 1400 modified on race tyres against 2 litre on type 1A/B's and we were competitive. Chris had two very hard fought races for the class. |

I noticed in MN today that former DMN champ Jason Watkins has brought his car back and now intends to run it in Tin Tops.
According to the MN its got 170bhp, should give the front runners something to think about! |
