BARCse Tin Tops 2007 - Page 9

**Peter Mallett** · 27 Mar 2007, 11:10 (Ref:1877537)

He's probably buying/building a faster car.

chezza · 27 Mar 2007, 13:16 (Ref:1877635)

They would have been sent out in the entry pack and they are also available online. Anyone that fills one out for the tin-tops will have it sent back to submit to the CSCC. I will try and get in contact with the CSCC to sort out getting forms out to the tin-top people!

**Tim Falce** · 27 Mar 2007, 14:49 (Ref:1877697)

Chezza the entry form is on the CSCC web site. I dont think the Tin Top race on the BARC form exists as it is a different format and price and probably printed before things were properly finalised.

chezza · 27 Mar 2007, 19:13 (Ref:1877915)

Yes and the link to the form for the tin-tops race is now also availalble on the BARC website also.

Yes the original one produced by BARC should never have been published, it must have slipped through the final checks.

STEVED · 28 Mar 2007, 22:29 (Ref:1878765)

Do we have an entry list yet for the 7th.

chezza · 29 Mar 2007, 07:58 (Ref:1878961)

Almost but not quite. Will be available soon!

graham bahr · 29 Mar 2007, 09:29 (Ref:1879013)

got to say, even as a driver myself i cant see why everyone so much wants to see an entry list, a suprise on the day can be quite good, anyway this early in the season an entry list often doesnt bear much resemblence to the actual event with unfinished cars and breakages testing etc,

oh yes that will be me then an unfinished car.............

chezza · 29 Mar 2007, 12:24 (Ref:1879142)

Personally I'd be amazed if more than half of the cars are ready to go right now - I expect some will have the finishing touches applied on the morning of the 7th

Awaiting parts from other people. If i had the parts, it wouldnt be a problem

Shawn · 29 Mar 2007, 18:58 (Ref:1879380)

Oh that' it. Blame the parts people. It's always the Parts people's fault. If the " grease monkey

" can't handle it pass the buck....

Hell. it's just like being at work.

sorry. Touchy subject

**Tim Falce** · 29 Mar 2007, 19:03 (Ref:1879382)

What about blaming the painter, will it be OK in various shades of primer and blue?

Shawn · 29 Mar 2007, 19:10 (Ref:1879391)

Yep. Course it will. It's currently the "in" colour don't you know.
They say it makes the car look , erm... Cloudy.

You watch, by the end of the year, if not sooner everyone will have some primer on their car

andypipe · 29 Mar 2007, 19:31 (Ref:1879413)

Paint is the least of my problems

Shawn · 29 Mar 2007, 19:37 (Ref:1879420)

have you tried this lot

The last time I had to get parts for early Escorts they were really helpful

andypipe · 29 Mar 2007, 19:43 (Ref:1879428)

Got all that type of stuff. Its the main part of the car im waiting on

The paint is about the only thing that's okay on mine!

I'm falling back on blaming other people, too.

STEVED · 29 Mar 2007, 22:12 (Ref:1879527)

Erm the Entry list for the Tintops as a bit low 7 cars

You could say that, though there were cars which were capable of taking the fight to Gerry.

However, in Rod's defence, a certain Mr Thurston has offered spirited competition over the years, when Mr DJInvicta writes the cheques... and I'm sure if I could have kept the fluids within the vehicle, and got rid of the other niggly ills, I could have scared him on the odd occaision. So. There's unfinished business there!

What's this "last season" business Rod? Are you buying an ASCAR and coming to Rockingham?

Rob.

chezza · 29 Mar 2007, 22:33 (Ref:1879534)

That is a combined sports and saloons and tin-tops too. We know its low and we are trying to do something about it. It will go up before the day...I know there are entries on their way, but we're not sure whats going on to be honest.

Warning, what follows is a rant and does not necessarily represent the opinions of Ten-Tenths.
(To be honest, it probably doesn't even represent the opinions of the poster when they aren't ranting.)

Again we are getting to the stage where people aren't entering in good time. I can't stress how important it is to get entries in in time. People entering late causes me untold hassle with getting the tickets out on time, especially with this meeting as friday is a BH!

I'm also having trouble understanding why all these cars aren't ready. I know some people have had extenuating circumstances which has meant they haven't been able to work on their cars, but some of you haven't. Also its not like you've not known when the season was going to start...its always the beginning to the middle of April!!

We now return you to our normal ramblings.

Right rant over with...suppose I should get envelope stuffing so I can get your finals etc out to you all.
