The idea was to come up with some sort of format that would fill a grid to help the gang running the 6 Hrs.Seems we could have a 30 min race and 25 mins practise for two hundred quid.
It doesn't matter what format it is just to help people,sometimes a concept that is lost on here.Last year they were virtually promised a decent size grid for 6 hrs mostly from here but it didn't happen.Unfortunate! The dates don't matter just come up with a formula that does work under some sort of LIbre class.The odd B8,Elva,Speedster I can come up with .Thought basis of a run out two weeks before 3 hrs might appeal as a test day as it can tell you things about car and gives you time to change car before the main event but seems I got that one wrong. 66,70,36 who cares!It just a way of helping. |

Agreed, John; I understand the concept and what you are saying. I have an idea but am yet to see whether it has any mileage, but let's do it somehow. As a matter of interest can you remind me what year the Alpine Harrington is (or has it now gone?) and the Speedster?

Al,
Why not put your name down for it. You're there as a driver in one of the 6hrs cars too? An all comers race on treaded tyres, minimum two seats, would cover the technical requirements surely? And yes, you can learn a lot from racing rather than testing. We tested the Capri for the day last year and drove it gently for obvious reasons. Come the race we were slower than expected and then had that fuel issue. Had we entered a race previously we'd have put the car through a more rigorous test and possibly discovered the speed issue. Edit: Just discovered that 29 April is declared a public holiday, so need to organise accommodation PDQ. Last edited by Peter Mallett; 23 Nov 2010 at 12:32. |

Problem is that it is same weekend as Donington with first round of Pre 63 Series.
Harrington 60/Speedster 55 It would have been easy if that was not on as would have suggested and sorted race to 56 and included Pre War cars as they had at Le Mans five years ago.We could have raised half the grid! Now the only thing we have is B8 and Elva. |

So do we have any form of regs for the additional race or more as to what can and can't enter?

THE 360 WEDDING BREAKFAST SPRINT
Ok ....Gonna come in now with some news.
Firstly as you may have heard, looks like Im now at a wedding the day before 360. As I stated in another thread, Kate was desperate to attend the next 360 so, rather than get married on a Saturday, she brought it forward a day so that they could attend 360, Will wanted to be on post at Sears, Kate was gonna do Race Admin as per norm before setting off on Honeymoon. It also means that I can attend both functions (note to self....need a hat) So, what does this mean to THIS support Race? well it means we all have a day off BEFORE as well as AFTER the 360 OK, I think John Ruston has hit the nail on the head. This is a BONUS race, there will be tropheys (First Second and Third + ) but its not a series and should not be taken too seriously as such. Its a "demo" race really for want of a better word a jolly litle sprint for competitors who are 1 Not daft 2 love their own cars enough not to drive like looney tunes 3 "Gentlemen" types (or "Ladies") 4 Jolly nice chaps Now, seeing as we are all getting in a "Rule Britania" type mood and a right royal knees up, lets do this We will call it "The 360 Wedding Breakfast Sprint" its for Sports racers and GT's Replica or not (please I dont want a debate about replicas, its a royal wedding...LET YOUR HAIR DOWN.)If you have a GT40, be it real or rep, or a B8, an MG, a Bentley or an E type Jag, whatever, you may enter this race, this wedding breakfast sprint which is 20 mins qualifying and 30 mins race so 50 mins track time and as I am all happy that I finally get to go to a wedding...we will price it now at £175.00 (pounds) There...... a 30 min sprint for Sports Racers and GT Cars for £175.00. 1st 2nd and Third PLUS a "best man/maid of honour" award for the best looking car. No pre age limit, more details will follow....as for regs...if you run to HSCC, SRGT, 360MRC, MASTERS, CTCC, CRSCC,MGCC, RELATIVE REGS...YOU CAN COME. More details to follow THE 360 RESERVE THE RIGHT TO REFUSE ENTRY, ENTRY WILL BE ON A FIRST COME FIRST SERVED BASIS, YOUR HOME IS AT RISK IF YOU LEAVE THE DOOR OPEN |

All sounds good Claire.
I assume Will and Kate will be popping up to Sandringham on the Friday night so they can make an early start for the Track on Saturday. It would be a shame to have to open the place up for just the two of them - perhaps you could give them a call and offer them a few house guests to keep them company for the evening. I also assume that the economy wedding will be accompanied by an economy honeymoon so presumably they would be delighted to spend the first day at the royally refurbished Snetterton rather than just rushing off to Clacton or Bognor or whichever Holiday Park is lined up for them. Perhaps a quiet word with the Airforce to see if they would let him demonstrate his chopper prowess? Could be a bit like F1 with a flying medical rescue facility .... |

MSV have also booked a meeting for Monday 2nd May (bank holiday) as well. Happy Days. As it's a Royal Wedding occasion, shouldn't we at least rule that all cars in the Sprint must be British! Just a thought. |
