Pre '66 Saloons - British GP Support

Andrew Kitson · 3 Jun 2008, 19:02 (Ref:2218998)

Who's doing this one then?
Announced by the HSCC - race straight after the GP.
See HSCC site

GORDON STREETER · 3 Jun 2008, 22:04 (Ref:2219165)

Looks good, pity my car isn't eligible !

rogerwills · 4 Jun 2008, 06:20 (Ref:2219336)

I will put in an entry for sure.

Not sure what it means - "the race will be for pre 1966 saloons with FIA or HSCC papers".

So FIA cars as well as HRSR?

simon drabble · 4 Jun 2008, 06:57 (Ref:2219350)

Its a broad church and with 48 starters plenty of room for all!
It is a reflection of how highly regarded the HSCC are that each year they are asked to put on the historic support race, often at very short notice...

DanWray · 4 Jun 2008, 08:14 (Ref:2219418)

Crikey, hot rods supporting the British Grand Prix. What is the world coming to!

Even with a potential 48 starters i'm sure they'll be twice as many putting entries in for it.

terence · 4 Jun 2008, 08:17 (Ref:2219421)

Makes you wonder where the cars will be parked though.

simon drabble · 4 Jun 2008, 08:18 (Ref:2219422)

the entry fee might put some off - if its like last year it will be £500/600 however that is Bernie not the HSCC!

simon drabble · 4 Jun 2008, 08:19 (Ref:2219424)

same place as each year - Club Straight

zefarelly · 4 Jun 2008, 08:20 (Ref:2219425)

Gordon, change your tyres and get your entry in!

I've expressed an interest

I'm sure the HSCC will receive plenty of applicants and one would hope from that they can assemble a broad mixture of cars, make a statement about the spectrum of production saloon cars that where and still are raced, from big bangers right down to little screamers, I just hope people with earlier period cars and smaller capacity engines are prepared to put the effort in so its not just 30 V8's and a few Cortina/anglia/minis.

I'm having the rest of the operation finished next week

simon drabble · 5 Jun 2008, 06:52 (Ref:2220211)

is anyone else testing next week on the GP circuit?

delta · 5 Jun 2008, 07:01 (Ref:2220214)

Yes just off to the workshop and start fitting Jim Woodleys Galaxie engine if all goes well we will be at Silverstone next Thursday. Then straight to Spa that night. "Very excited".Hope to meet some more Ten Tenthers there.

simon drabble · 5 Jun 2008, 07:05 (Ref:2220217)

I will be there testing - apart from driving a mate's Dino for an hour on the road last weekend to check my ankle could take heel and toeing this will be my first time in a racecar since last November so I will be blowing the cobwebs off rather than setting the world alight!

terence · 5 Jun 2008, 07:06 (Ref:2220218)

You never know Delta,

simon drabble · 5 Jun 2008, 07:22 (Ref:2220228)

you in the safety car again Terry or you out playing?

delta · 6 Jun 2008, 21:32 (Ref:2221575)

Come on Simon you cant make excusses this early .will let you know what garage we will be in . If the mighty Galaxie is behaving perhaps we can all have a meet up.

hey that is a bit harsh - I only dropped the last crutch a week ago!!!! Jim knows how to get hold of me otherwise you will see me going rather cautiously in a Alfa Romeo GTA!
Are we the only ones testing? I would have thought this was a perfect time to test and booked it before the race was even confirmed!

delta · 7 Jun 2008, 18:03 (Ref:2222057)

Galaxie running so looking good.If you want Simon we can pop the Alfa in the boot.Jim not booked a garage yet but will let you know the no later.
