750mc - Oulton Park 6th Sept

Mark Mitchell · 3 Sep 2003, 11:37 (Ref:706788)

Does anyone know why the 750mc meeting at Oulton this Saturday will be minus several of it's better championships.
I've noticed from their www that the hot & stock hatches won't be there?
Unfortunately, it does look like a bit of a dreary meeting.

750MC a dreary meeting, with FVee's.

you have the SRGT Cobras and Jags as well

Stock and Hot Hatches were at Lydden Hill last week

(great place), Silverstone (I think) the week before and Mallory a couple of weeks before that. They will probably re-building

or stealing

new ones in time for the Cadwell GP

circuit meeting in a couple of weeks.

That WON'T be dreary

The FV's were anything but dreary....a little bit too interesting at times!

The only disappointment was the tubs of lard, er 'Minis'; I've seen them things driven more aggressively on the M60 - maybe the competitors should be required to drive with a mobile phone in one hand & a fag in the other!

(And to avoid confusion, 'fag' in this context means a cigarette!)

....and I was right!

Very unlike the 750mc I know, but this was a poor meeting by their standards. I think the weather played a part, but I came away wishing I had gone to Donny instead!

No lunch break really either. 28 mins to be exact - but I was asked to stay on post and meet the clerk for something I had reported, so my break was curtailed even more! (Sobs into tissue!)

On a more serious note - does anyone know how the FVee driver who had a moment at Clay Hill is?

which vee was it - do you know the number?

bradenc · 8 Sep 2003, 09:13 (Ref:711581)

I know Charlie Riley and Pat Sherrington came off badly at the end of the day.

bradenc · 8 Sep 2003, 09:17 (Ref:711586)

It was a shambles though, none of the drivers were sure what was going, neither did any officials when asked.

And to declare it void when 9 laps had been run was shocking.

chezza · 8 Sep 2003, 09:17 (Ref:711587)

Hope that it was nothing too serious!

The incident I refer to WAS at the end of the day (It was the Third attempt at starting the FVees)

I wasn't aware there were two cars involved, but it appeared to be quite serious

bradenc · 8 Sep 2003, 10:29 (Ref:711646)

I think they were seperate incidents. I heard pat hit the tyre wall hard and charlie bent the front of his car badly elswhere.

ss_collins · 8 Sep 2003, 10:44 (Ref:711665)

How many sports 1000's did the allcomers?

There was only one car involved, Patrick Sherrington. Mike Pascal crashed in the same place in the first re-started race.

Ohh a sports 1000 walked it in the all comers race...

Pretty impressive, too! To me, it looks a promising formula......maybe a few reliability issues to be addressed, on Saturday's showing!

ss_collins · 8 Sep 2003, 16:05 (Ref:712003)

teething problema at a guess. As far as I know its the first wet weather running a number of them have had.

Just point out that there are no towing irons on these things - apparently a technicality they are overlooking so that they get more entrants!! Take the bonnet off if in doubt! Sounded pretty good though and looked the part.

And no you can't blame me for all the incidents as I was on the recovery truck. I thought it was a good day - not quite 750 standard, but I don't think the weather helped much!! Yes I did get wet and yes I did nearly lose it with a C of C (for all those listening on radios!).

Hopefully full service resumed on Saturday when I'm on the bank again

For a moment I thought you were driving it - then I remembered it was left hand drive!

My comment at the time was something along the lines of 'well, that told him!'

......then there was your remark when you sat in the FVee:
'

, he's got a small a**e'; notice we said nothing?!

Nothing to do with the thread but since it's about Oulton... Happy Birthday Ian Lewis!

PaulPerkins · 9 Sep 2003, 14:02 (Ref:713174)

Ian Lewis · 9 Sep 2003, 14:26 (Ref:713187)
