Knockhill, July 21/22

Dave Brand · 20 Apr 2007, 12:22 (Ref:1896248)

KayBee & I have decided that our first ever visit to Knockhill can't be postponed any longer, so we're intending to do the Classic Speedfair on July 21/22.

Who do we need to contact to volunteer for this?

Hope so! It's my birthday that weekend.

Ian Sowman · 20 Apr 2007, 14:36 (Ref:1896360)

At least I get some warning that you'll be stalking me this time!

pauwilson · 20 Apr 2007, 16:12 (Ref:1896470)

Quick down to Carlisle and build the wall higher, sounds like an english invasion coming!! Only joking, you will be made most welcome at Jockhill.
This looks as though it will be an excellent meeting. As far as we know it is a full historic weekend, not split 50/50 with modern day SMRC races like last year.

More info is on the Knockhill website - http://www.knockhill.com/events/speedfair.php

Lynn is the correct person, but she is not always in the country so you may get a slight delay in her returning your email.

Regards
Paul

Davie-c · 20 Apr 2007, 22:06 (Ref:1896699)

As Paul said you will both be made welcome.It makes a change from me coming down to Oulton and being made welcome.See you both at Oulton on 16th June

Dave Brand · 23 Apr 2007, 16:29 (Ref:1898704)

Thanks, everybody.

Looks like that one's sorted, then.

Now can somebody please sort the weather for us?

roys1 · 23 Apr 2007, 17:30 (Ref:1898739)

It will rain...
It always does ...
It's Scotland

pauwilson · 25 Apr 2007, 21:12 (Ref:1900454)

As they say at Knockhill - if you cant see the top of the hill it is raining, if you can it is just about to start. Make sure you bring suncream - you either get sunburnt or windburnt!!!!!.

Hey Roy, at least we dont get freak electrical storms a la 2005 24hr at Silverstone causing us all to fear for our lives and hide in gravel traps at 9pm on a Friday night!!! The flying haggis is still traumatised by it.

I was at Stowe standing 1 foot away from a metal fence ... I have not been the same since... LOL LOL

pauwilson · 25 Apr 2007, 21:35 (Ref:1900471)

Was that due to the bolts of lightning, or being on post with Garry Fairweather!!!

Just like Anglesey, then!

pauwilson · 27 Apr 2007, 18:05 (Ref:1901795)

Dave, you could say that. Also has in common - being in another country and full of people that speak a funny language

Dave Brand · 23 Jul 2007, 18:14 (Ref:1971360)

What a great weekend that was!

Some superb racing, enjoyed from what must be the best post on the circuit, McIntyres. Three Formula Fords in the gravel trap.....no change there, then.

I never knew there was a hand signal for 'I'm putting my gloves on'......nice one, Gillian!

Thanks to everybody at Knockhill for making our first visit so enjoyable - the bad news is, we'll be back!

Davie-c · 23 Jul 2007, 22:44 (Ref:1971581)

Good to hear that you enjoyed yourself.Hope to see you both next time your up.I didn't get there because I was away on holiday.

You need to organise holidays around motorsport........

Hope you had a good holiday Dave, see you in a couple of weeks.
