How much did it cost to enter the race as a matter of interest?

typicel 'small' amount/big numbers calculation but for one person not that impossible but altogether I would say quit a hefty sum.

Al, the six hour race was about €2500 I think. Pocket money for you.

Al Weyman · 13 Oct 2007, 20:50 (Ref:2039424)

Yeah right!

If you share it with two other friends then it works out cheaper than I paid for the one hour race.

Just got back after loosing top gear in qualifying for the Heritage today 3 07"
Went to put the spare box in this morning only to find that it had a similar fault ! A bit ****ed off and tired, and going to bed .

Mark Griffiths · 13 Oct 2007, 22:33 (Ref:2039491)

Some great pics there.

Anybody got anymore shots of "Madge" or, better still, MGB no. 37 in the Six Hours?

terence · 14 Oct 2007, 06:03 (Ref:2039621)

Mark,I would have thought John Elwin has some,he was at La Source for all of my stint.

Well, even down on power we were scaring a few Healeys and Porsches before the problems.

really sorry to hear that Gordon, loosing top gear in 2 boxes doesn't even give you a half a chance

as everyone knows Gordon runs a non synchro 3 speed 100E box, better ratios you see

at least back home you can console yourself with some larkins served by Mrs S

YOU HAD TIME to watch the scenery?????????????????????? When I pitted after 6 laps with the engine down on power. they asked if I had seen the yellow Healy (Rinus and Jaap sinke ) along the track. I really hadn't!!

Al - You'd probably be best off doing Barry's one hour race, which is the same one Dave Howard/Peter Halford and Skid Scarborough/Jess Yates shared in. Maybe you and Ian C could do it??

Al Weyman · 14 Oct 2007, 13:42 (Ref:2039868)

Yeah sounds a possibility shall we see what the CTRCC has in store for us at Spa and the dates it may end up we are there the weekend before or after who knows. So David was not in the 6 hour, thats good as it will hurt less only doing 7 laps of a 6 (5?) hour race.
