Le Mans Classic

The entry forms are out for the next edition of LMC.

It is in my opinion the best of all the Historic Meetings but very French.

Scrutes are a shambles but food good.

Have retired from putting Teams together and have entered fewer cars.

If you have a car that is eligible give it a go ,to good to miss!

Same track that RW uses in grown up race.

Scrutineering isn't the best, it was only about 5 hours waiting though

Adam Ruddle should be qualifying in the top 10 on the grid
1962 Corvette

Would this be the right place to ask if there is anyone out there who fancies co-driving my (in preperation) '62 Corvette at Le Mans Classic 2012 (for a sensible share of the entry costs)?
Anyone interested can get me via my blog.

Yep,Grid one,two three and four with Top Nob Team.

Waiting to see what's happening in G1 as have entered five cars and may need you to do a bit of driving.Five Talbots but would prefer one Alta with four Talbots.

Grids two and three with 356's and Michael Birch's Elva in Grid 4.

Expect these numbers may be cut back by the organisers as its difficult from G1 upwards.

Seems more oversubscribed than ever.Interesting what they do with the 911's as there are supposed to be over 100 entered.Rule of thumb seems to be no more than four types of one car in any particular grid.

I have entered my 1925 Lorraine Dietrich in the pre war grid whith reasonable chance
and my Porsche 914 which will be a very long shot.

May enter a surprise in G2 or not, that remains to be seen.

weeell, we had some artist engineers in Germany in the 50ies who fitted M7 fine pitch screws as core diameter is actually larger than M8 coarse to certain bikes.
Stunts like contributed to their employers going bust
But isnt this OT ?

To take this back to LMC:
I have bagged the Kieft Climax Sports racer at the last H&H auction as some sort of early X-max present to myself and entered it for LMC grid 2 today.
If this is some kind of record, please tell where to get my trophy

Congratulations Rudolf

I travelled up to Buxton yesterday specifically to bid on the Kieft, so I was part of your competition at the auction. Over 4 hours each way and I went home with an empty trailer.

It was one of the few cars that exceeded the top estimate as most were falling short of the bottom figure. But then this was the only car of real interest, with factory competition history from 1954. A good buy I think.

I'd be very surprised if you didn't get an entry for LMC with this.

Good luck.

Well done Rudolf . . .an old friend of mine has a Kieft Scooter and has always harped on about their pedigree and how he'd love to have a car to go with it. Hopefully look forward to seeing it.

sorry for the inconvenience, I just had to....
I only travelled to the fax machine
(then had to call my secretary to explain it)

Personally, I thought the estimate was low on purpose and expected it to exceed that, especially compared to what a Lotus 11 fetches these days with the Kieft beeing so much rarer and invitable.
