Croft 22nd March

dangermouse606 · 25 Feb 2009, 13:28 (Ref:2403883)

Well there is a little over three weeks until the first round of the open series at croft, are we gonna get any banter going on who's coming out with what or who's not coming out for whatever reason, any signs of any new cars or new drivers even.

i know John Mooney is out in revivals in the tyneside roofing astra again, glenn guthrie in his golf, john wood in mr2, quite a few of the autocross lads are also coming out for the first round in revivals, michael henderson ( corsa ), leigh english ( tigra ), paul gee ( nova ), rob smith ( pug 205 ), dave elliot ( sierra 4x4 ), garry coxon ( corsa ).
Stu jackson is back out in his saxo in stock hatch and his brother simon is making his debut in revivals in a corsa.
will post anymore i hear of.

Is that Paul Gee that used to race in Rallycross years ago ?

dangermouse606 · 26 Feb 2009, 07:05 (Ref:2404354)

not 100% but i believe it is yes

BEASTY BOYS · 27 Feb 2009, 09:34 (Ref:2405216)

wish i was joining everyone in the revivals but sadly the car will have to stay in the garage due to lack of funds

spent to much on the rally car

golfvanman · 27 Feb 2009, 21:08 (Ref:2405667)

hopefully if we return after mondello with the TT still in one piece i will be out. Also carl jones in the saxo, phil chicken in his golf (with a new engine) and brian jukes in his budget supercar.

Why you not out with the Audi coupe ? have you still got it ? is it still for sale ?

dangermouse606 · 28 Feb 2009, 10:08 (Ref:2405970)

still got it and its still for sale but you never know, WATCH THIS SPACE

toonlad1978 · 1 Mar 2009, 14:18 (Ref:2406647)

Dave it will be good to see the Audi out again!

Go on give it a wash and I will see you at Croft!

Rewsy · 2 Mar 2009, 13:39 (Ref:2407362)

I should be out in the new BMW RWD Class, now looking likely to be in a fairly successful BMW hire car rather than my own, but looking forward to it.

bravo · 5 Mar 2009, 17:26 (Ref:2409721)

I'll be there, but on the other side of the armco. Doors open on the way up to the pre-grid please

HelgatheMk2 · 5 Mar 2009, 20:55 (Ref:2409864)

Looks like ill be out to have a play the Team Tempest Rally Sprint has been cancelled due to lack of entries, ill be out in my heavy rally Mk6 escort car 380.

Revivals C will be suited to me! So hopefully ill be in the mix not hanging at the back

leonidas · 6 Mar 2009, 14:14 (Ref:2410403)

Do we know if there is going to be a rallycar class? and if there are any entries in it?

HelgatheMk2 · 6 Mar 2009, 15:48 (Ref:2410456)

Will i be able to compete even tho i havnt entered the championship?

65 quid extra just to do one round???

There is no listing or mention of a rallycar class the revivals will be your best bet.

BEASTY BOYS · 6 Mar 2009, 18:12 (Ref:2410514)

yes there is a rally car class.....£130 entry and no transponder needed, think its proberbly full now though, 8 or 10 entries max.

leonidas · 6 Mar 2009, 19:13 (Ref:2410550)

Thanks - yes, I couldn't see anything on the website either.

Btw if you run a rallycar in the revivals class do you need to fit high level brake lights?

If it's the same as the supermodifed regs for the winter series (what are the chances?

) then you'll need a working fog light but not the high level lights. Worth checking with the organisers though just to make sure.

HelgatheMk2 · 6 Mar 2009, 20:35 (Ref:2410591)

Where did you get that info? The Rally Car class could be good for me! But i have already got high level rear lights so thats not a problem!

Peter Scott has not replied to an email i sent him!

HelgatheMk2 · 6 Mar 2009, 22:25 (Ref:2410645)

Spoke with Peter, Rally Car Class is full but the cars with be set off with intervals so not racing! Thats not why i go rallycrossing i want to be in the mix racing! If all goes well ill be up there on the 22nd!

see you there

flying flynn · 8 Mar 2009, 20:40 (Ref:2411613)

Looking forward to seeing Rewsy in the BMW class, he will be joined by John Clayton, Jonny Bean and 16 yr old Conor Flynn.
The RWD Machines will hopefully be fun.
I have a feeling I will make a couple of guest drives this year too, Blyton being the first for me.
The BMWs will not be doing the Nutts Corner rounds, as we want to attrct the budget conscious into this series.

Rewsy · 10 Mar 2009, 12:31 (Ref:2412921)

Very much looking forward to this, car not sorted so I actually have hired Andy Davison's 2008 Championship winning BMW Rally car for the event, so I know the car will be up there with the best, just the driver having to play catch up.

Do we know when the final entry list will be released, I know entires closed 8th March so appreciate probably a few more days yet.

bigted · 10 Mar 2009, 12:36 (Ref:2412926)

I hope hes changing the box and dif for you LOL

bigted · 10 Mar 2009, 14:00 (Ref:2412960)

by that i mean the two sets of regs are different

flying flynn · 10 Mar 2009, 19:10 (Ref:2413155)

Hiya Big Ted, the Rallycross and Rally regs were unified, a good while ago.
As most of the competitors already had rally cars, it was a lot easier to make the rally car spec, the one to go with.
In fact the unified regs will be on the Open website, as they should be all approved now.[If not check on my site]
Reckon that when some regulars see them, then it will make them quite popular.
Are you coming to Croft??

Sounds like quite a big entry all in.

See you all there,Pat

Look out for the Challenge banners, come and say hello, and have a look at how budget conscious the cars are!!!!
Pat

bigted · 10 Mar 2009, 21:20 (Ref:2413246)

Fair enough I just noticed that the regs were different, didnt want anyone to miss out.

HelgatheMk2 · 10 Mar 2009, 23:05 (Ref:2413318)

Hi mate,

If you have a look on the Croft Circuit website they suggest a few places to stay near to the track.

Here's the link : http://www.croftcircuit.co.uk/wheretostay.php
