DMN - Silverstone International 26th Aug

chezza · 8 Aug 2007, 17:41 (Ref:1984220)

So...entries for this close at the weekend and we are filling up fast. Entries close this weekend and if people are wanting to enter who haven't already I will be at Brands on sunday to take entries!

Should be a great meeting as its not very often there is the option to race on the international circuit.

I'm certainly looking forward to it.

jonbryant · 8 Aug 2007, 19:01 (Ref:1984278)

Ok so I'm going to do the usual brass rubbings. Which one is the International circuit? Is it the one with the Hager straight? Or the one that turns off at Becketts?

Amazingly the Silverstone website doesn't bloody say!

chezza · 8 Aug 2007, 19:15 (Ref:1984290)

The international is the one that turns off at Becketts and uses the international straight down to Abbey and then joins in to the rest of the GP circuit there. Shown below in the darker bluey green colour.

Chezza - are there separate classes for Tin Tops _ I've entered ,but I'm registered for both - prefer Tintops if they are there.

p.s. Could you amend entry form - Car is in fact a Vauxhall Astra, not a Vauxhall Sh*tbox - entry form filled out at Lydden about 30 mins after driveshaft failure !

New driveshaft fitted, new pads in post somewhere, big crack appeared in windscreen without the car moving - anyone know a windscreen firm in kent/se london with sensible prices ? (Glued). Noisy top end due to clearences opening up (gone solid followers) will have to wait till after Silverstone for reshim . Will try and get to Brands on sunday to watch the action - nobody on the naughty step this time please !

Had to withdraw my entry, rod through the block at Combe this weekend. Shame as i was really looking forward to doing the international circuit.

chezza · 9 Aug 2007, 12:49 (Ref:1984852)

Lol will do Alan. Have you down as tin-top.

It is a shame that you won't be out to play, hope you will still come along though Alex, will be good to meet you as I didn't get along to Combe.

pugracer2 · 9 Aug 2007, 16:47 (Ref:1984994)

I'll be there Chezza, my son entered in the Tin Tops in my spare car. I didn't have the heart to say "Tuff, I'm driving it". Red 205, No:47 I think.

chezza · 9 Aug 2007, 18:53 (Ref:1985064)

Lol now that would be a bit mean!

Will be good to see you there.

rbs · 9 Aug 2007, 19:29 (Ref:1985084)

What is this meeting? I have this weekend down for BRSCC Classic.

chezza · 9 Aug 2007, 20:00 (Ref:1985102)

Its a meeting being run by BRSCC and CSCC.

BARC SE were able to by a grid for the DMN so they could go out to play. Not sure what else is on over the weekend though.

jonbryant · 9 Aug 2007, 21:38 (Ref:1985164)

I'll get a copy of the timetable from the BRSCC tomorrow and stick it online somewhere

Edit - this at least gives the championships... http://www.brscc.co.uk/calendar/39.html

Rod,
Thanks for that. I've managed to source a screen, and some sikaflex 255 windscreen glue. Will probably call your man on monday after I've broken the bloody thing

phansa88 · 10 Aug 2007, 20:28 (Ref:1985765)

would have given you a hand to do it but stuck on the parking lot ring (m25)for over 6.30 hrs.8.30hrs in a car is quite enough had to have a lay down due to sheer exhaustion.

Jamie G · 10 Aug 2007, 21:02 (Ref:1985793)

I've got a busted screen now too...

Jamie, whatever you do, don't change it yourself (if bonded) or if you do wear gloves. Didn't make it to Brands yesterday as I changed the screen on the Ashtray. Now got hands blacker than Newgates Knocker. Does anyone know how to get Sikaflex 255 off ?
tried, parrafin, petrol, Cellulose thinners, Industrial acetone, Jif with a scrubbing brush, Swarfega with the lumps in, and non acetone nail varnish remover - nothing works !
Interesting meeting at work this morning with white arms, and black hands !
Just new pads fron and rear, then it should be ready for Silverstone!

Alan

graham bahr · 13 Aug 2007, 11:25 (Ref:1987447)

nothing once its set! thinners or brake cleaner works upto then though

chezza · 13 Aug 2007, 16:47 (Ref:1987625)

Well the entries currently stands at 47 for this round - list to be published shortly.

Alan

Alan,

If the Sikaflex is still quite fresh then try vinegar - we use it if we're working on the boat and it gets on our skin. Also (hindsight, sorry) rub a little washing up liquid into your skin beforehand.

But it gets everywhere - it's not nicknamed "sticky s**t" for nothing!

I'm sorted for a screen, but now £170 lighter

47!!! Blimey!!! That a record for the championship? How many made it to Combe?

jaysalv · 13 Aug 2007, 19:18 (Ref:1987799)

oh crap now i wanna go silverstone oh what do i do

chezza · 13 Aug 2007, 19:35 (Ref:1987822)

I think Combe was a grid of 44/45. However that was combined DMN and tin-tops as is Silverstone. Not sure what the record is for DMN on its own.

jonbryant · 13 Aug 2007, 19:58 (Ref:1987846)

I can feel a grid shot coming on for Silverstone!

Probably Combe or Brands GP last year - both of those were 44 with DMN alone, weren't they?
