[John Turner]

Right folks, this is an absolute indulgence on my part but since Claire had no support race in place for her 6 hours, I've persuaded her to allow me to run a 30 minute single driver race, with 15 mins qualifying on the morning of the big race, on the 300 Circuit.

It's by specific invitation from me for closed fastback/GT cars built between 1950 -1965 to be held on the Snetterton 300 circuit, in memory of the historic name of the currently named Bentley Straight and as an homage to the sloping roof!! I suggest it would also be a suitable opportunity for a summer Ace Café type meeting given that a lot of 10-Tenthers have suitable cars. I'm listing below the sort of cars I'm going for:-

Aston Martin DB2 & 2/4, AC Aceca, Alfa Guilietta GT, Austin Healey Sebring/Lenham/WSM Sprites, ELVA Courier GT, Gilbern GT, Lancia Aurelia, Peerless/Warwick GT, Porsche 356, Reliant Sabre 6 GT, Rochdale Olympic & GT, Sunbeam Alpine Harrington, Tornado Talisman, Triumph Spitfire Lenham, TVR Grantura (early ones), WSM MGB GT.

Edit - Capacity Limits pre 1962 - 3.5 litre, post 1962 - 2.7 litre. (added following some later posts!! - sorry!)

Nothing too modified and cars should be shod with Dunlop L or M tyres

You will note that I've not included Marcos 1800 or later 1800cc TVRs because these will almost certainly be too quick but if you have a car not listed here but you think is suitable (it must have a proper fastback, though) please contact me, with full spec, and I will go in a huddle with a couple of colleagues to decide whether it is indeed suitable. I will create classes dependent on the entries.

The cost will be £275 which I suggest is extremely good value for 45 minutes track time, these days.

I did sound Mike Bell, Brian Arculus and Joe A-B (Zef) out prior to this and all seemed more than a little interested, and they can consider themselves invited already. I will now proceed to send invites out over the next couple of weeks so I crave your patience to allow me that time frame before contacting me asking why you've not been invited. Thereafter if you haven't heard please PM me.
