Anybody notice a certain Mr Kevin Proctor driving a Lotus Exige on the entry list now that should be good to watch.

Also as per put by a few other people since when did Supercars run in the clubmans championship (doesn't sound very clubman to me!!). QUOTE]

I would agree that it's a bit unfair to let Supercars enter BTRDA but, lets face it that scooby isn't really a Supercar. I'm looking forward to seeing a stock hatch trash that scooby head to head

Presume that's Dressers old car. Proctor is an excellent driver and engineer. My moneys on him to take the honours in Modified, that Lotus is a very, very quick car.

So any predictions

**BertMk2** · 21 Mar 2005, 09:54 (Ref:1257823)

Last year supercars were allowed to run in the BTRDA championship rounds but weren't eligible for points - I guess it's probably the same this year (can anyone confirm?). I guess it's a way of getting more track time in the car which can be useful for dialling in setups, trying new setups and getting to know the track/car better.

David Binks won't be there because his dad John has snapped his achiles tendon and will be in plaster for eight weeks. So Dave has lost his spanner so to speak. Plus work. I know we all hope John gets better soon.
As for Gary Dixon he is entered in the BTDRA.

Allen Mead · 21 Mar 2005, 15:56 (Ref:1258083)

Then entry list is up, looks like it'll be a good'un

sihorton · 21 Mar 2005, 16:44 (Ref:1258110)

Nice to see they have ammended the details and decided to let me race my metro now

They had originally put my entry as a puggy 205 even though i never mentioned that car on the entry form.. looks like i must be getting famous

Anyway, I can't wait, it's just 1 week today and we are finally back racing.. seems like ages since brands hatch!

I see that Mike Sellar is entered for both the MSA/BRDA and the BTRDA.
The list just gets better and better.
Lets hope that all those who have entered can make it.

sihorton · 21 Mar 2005, 16:56 (Ref:1258119)

Did you spot that the other MAS clio v6 is only a 3ltr, where as mikes is a 3.5ltr..
Wonder why they have different engines, i thought they would be identical

Also terry briggs clio is only a 2ltr (and thats a supercar), very strange

MJ1 · 21 Mar 2005, 17:32 (Ref:1258136)

Seeing that entry, why did I sell the car!! Watching Lydden from the crowd is going to have mixed emotions. Good luck to everyone entred .

I'll keep telling myself. .....I will be back...I will be back!

Spectator · 21 Mar 2005, 21:14 (Ref:1258333)

Does anyone know if the two Belgians are coming over this year?
One drove a Seat kit car and the other one had a golf.
They seemed to have a good time even though they were a little off the pace

Pug620 · 21 Mar 2005, 22:05 (Ref:1258391)

MJ1

I still have my stock hatch for sale 620 and it could be delivered before the weekend so if you fancy racing at Lyden get your cash out and it on its way

Marty

richorton · 21 Mar 2005, 22:25 (Ref:1258407)

How come so cheap .been watching a video of lydden hill trying to work out how make some time up and whats the best line round the track.

looks really bumpy on the gravel section buts fast on the black stuff.even found a place for phil to park his nova in the gravel

Pug620 · 21 Mar 2005, 22:47 (Ref:1258431)

Rich

The car number is 620 not the price still at £1995 0r offers

As for lyden if you can make the hairpin at the top of the bank in third then flat out down the hill (into fourth and back into third for the right hander) and flat out all the rest of the way round then you should do good but remember once commited to the down hill right hander DO NOT BACK OFF other wise you will end up off the track and a expensive repair bill
Just takes big gonards to do this but the feeling is great when you do

Hope you all have a good days racing as work commitments again are now ruining my racing season

P.S if any one is looking for a stockhatch @ Lyden please point them in my direction .

Cheers

Marty

chris cake · 21 Mar 2005, 22:53 (Ref:1258440)

With only 1 week to go still have not seen any posters around the local area or in papers ! I know that it is said that the BRDA are short on funds but surly it would be a good idea to get some sort of ads out as they get a share of the gate at lydden ?
We have been asked in the past to put up posters which we all do but have not heard
anything this time.
Lets hope that the many people how came last easter come again!

richorton · 21 Mar 2005, 22:58 (Ref:1258446)

oh yes got big gonards all right

cheers for the advice mate never raced there before and every little helps

i know this sounds cheeky but what sort of tyre pressures do you run

as you probley know i never seam to shut off always got the throttle wide open and the rev counter screaming at 85000 on the limiter

think this year i need to calm down and stop gettin excited ,dont think car can take much more hammer

I used anything up to 26psi on front but most people run about 20psi and about 16-18psi on rear .

As for what to look out for at lydden treat Chessons ,the large loose area as 2 corners and you wont go to far wrong.

richorton · 21 Mar 2005, 23:20 (Ref:1258466)

chirs

what pressures in wet and what pressures in dry

do you use different pressures or just keep to the same dry or wet.track looks really bumpy and i ve set the car up quite low at the back do you think i need to rise it slighty or just leave it .it runs on standard shockers but 21mm rear bars and spax spings at front ,cheers for any help you can suplply me with

richard

show me the way to the big hammer brother

chris cake · 21 Mar 2005, 23:30 (Ref:1258470)

Rich
The track is quite smooth , has only been bumpy after supermotos so i would leave you setup as you are.
Yes i do change pressures as the track dry/ gets wetter ,but i also changed shock
settings as well.
hope this is any use to you .....

Must agree with you here Chris.
I was at the SEMSEC test day last weekend and drove there from London via Thanet.

No sign of any posters, even at the track itself, and no mention of anything in the local papers or even the Kent on Sunday( a free Sunday paper distributed throughout Kent)

Given the uncertainty of things so far this season lets hope for better advertising for the August meeting.

The banking on the inside of the right hander at paddock has changed (there's more runoff at the elbow so the banking has moved back to accomodate this) - I don't know what it looks like from on the circuit but it may require a slightly different line into the corner?

TWIGLET · 22 Mar 2005, 08:47 (Ref:1258669)

Does anyone know if the entry list is up anywhere else. Bored waiting now. This is getting silly. No regs and no entry list. No replies to any e-mails. Sorry very negative. I will cheer-up sometime this season honest.

**BertMk2** · 22 Mar 2005, 08:57 (Ref:1258671)

Twiglet - the entry list is up on www.rallycrossuk.com

It's looking good for Lydden, cheer up

TWIGLET · 22 Mar 2005, 09:26 (Ref:1258688)

Thanks BertMk2. I'd been trying for most of the morning, getting more and more frustrated....... oh well, happy bunny again............nearly.

Spectator · 22 Mar 2005, 09:28 (Ref:1258690)

Keep smiling Twiglet there are only 6 days to go.
At the moment Si has 18 others to play with.
See you Monday
