I'd better get my name down for this as I think due to a random confluence of circumstances I'll be free this weekend (i.e. in the UK, car working, no need to be on plane on Sunday afternoon)

Maybe I'll just pay to watch instead

I spoke to the office on Monday and they said that there had been a hold up and marshals' instructions/passes would be going out 1st class that day or Tuesday.

Anybody got other information as to when sign-on might be (I forgot to ask that!) Practice starts at 0900 according to their website.

Regards

Jim

I dont know weither you get the VSCC newsletters or not, but in this months it had a message from the competition office to say - they try to get final instructions out 2 weeks before an event, so if you havent recieved anything on the friday, please give them a shout on the Monday and they will send out a pack for you. As they cant garantee that the venue will entertain the idea of tickets being left on the gate (this applying to all VSCC events and not just Oulton Park)

the main guys are listed on here with their extension numbers, or email addresses: VSCC Contacts page

I got in touch with Bob Wimmer - the competition secretary who was able to sort things for me.

in that case - you can help the mechanic change the spark plugs

Being an aero engine - it has a dual ingnition system... making 24 spark plugs in total

Thanks... my tickets arrived today! Never been to VSCC before so looking forward to seeing all of the older cars in action. Is it very competitive?

I would say - yes.

tho speeds may not be high - the drivers are certainly having to work hard.

Don't all engines have two plugs per cylinder?

Tickets arrived today, but looks like it maybe a boring meeting. The weather last year was superb, but the racing was ..... boring. Shame when a feature race has 11 starters and run over 40 minutes. Let's hope it is a good one!!!!

Its Thursday Morning, posty has been and NO tickets. Not looking too good. Just read there is no policy of tickets being left at gate either. Prehaps its one of those, you are not ment to be there meetings.

Mike

I've just checked my copy of the instructions and your name is on the list so I guess that the Post Office is to blame.

Alistair Garrett is down as chief marshal and the instructions repeat the usual instructions about missing tickets. I.E. go to the left hand ticket booth and (politely - his words, not mine ) ask the occupant to radio the circuit office to sort out a ticket. Sign on is 0745.

Or you could pm brsccnw who is that man.

Or if you are hanging about at 0745 and approach Mercia Rescue when we arrive, you can have our spare. So don't give up on the day!

Regards

Jim
