Interesting ideas and thanks.
I spent several years with NSSCC in class B and always found everyone very friendly so in some ways I'd like to return but it has to make economic sense as well as trying to be fair to my son. I have another option which is for my son (Rover Gti) and I (Rover Tomcat) to run a car each but would the club consider some type of discount entry for two cars? Peter has a fair idea but I'm not sure how I would feel about not being on the track and watching my car go by. Whatever happens I think I am going to be leaving it late to decide so I can consider all options. Happy New Year to everyone at the club. Hope to see some of you at the Specsavers Rally on Monday as I am marshalling. |

Funny enough I've been talking to Richard Johnson about doing a round of the future classics at the end of next year (similar car to mine). It looks like they'll be no Oulton on this years NSSCC calender so fancy a go at that or donny as I haven't been there for years. I'll be at croft tomorrow supporting my mates nova, canny wait. |

happy new year to you all!
after a 3 year break from car racing I am looking forward to getting back on track in 2012. I will be joining you this year and will be racing in a tintop which will be a first for me! I am on building a car to compete in Class D which seems to be turning out to be the most competitive class from what I could see from the sidelines towards the end of last year the last race was great to watch. So anyway just saying Hello , oh and If it all goes wrong this year any blame can be put onto young Mr Dixon as it is solely his doing that I am returning! |

Helen does the NSSCC and Brian does North West Sports and Saloons (based at Oulton). NWS&S is free registration, but you do need to be a BARC member (50 odd quid I think) |

where are the 2012 regs
It's getting a bit long in the tooth waiting for the regs. I understand changes are possible in the Kit Car classes, so I'm having to put everything on hold until it becomes clear. When you're working 6 day weeks like a lot of people last minute changes aren't good. and the Christmas break has been wasted, well apart from fitting a full cage :-)

Where are the 2012 regs?
The regulations are back with the MSA as they required a re-write of a couple of regulations. (These have been in our regulations since Noah was a lad) but for 2012 they required them to be re-written.
Once the governing body of our sport are back from their Crimbo break tomorrow then hopefully they will be sanctioned by the end of the week. |

I think Peter did a pretty good job of breaking up the Saxo domination last year. Dan |

For clarification: The regulations have been worded as follows.
Class D Cars running to Mini Miglia regulations may use treaded factory cut tyres to a pattern approved by the Mini Miglia Championship size 160/490 x 10. |

Ah, so they can run cut slicks rather than List 1Bs. Makes sense if they want to run in both championships.
Looks like they'll be the car to beat. Anyone thinking of heading up to Knockhill for some pre-season testing? Any word on the annual NSSCC pre-season test day at Croft yet? Getting noisy day track time at Croft this year is going to be a nightmare. Dan |

Yeah. Since the recent issues with tyre availability lack of choice and restrictions of List 1b Tyres is a nightmare!
Unfortunately I think it's only going to get worse and more expensive. For my sizes I only have the choice of R888s or A048s and availability of both is abysmal. Prices are going through the roof too! I've got two sets of part worn 48s to get me through the season, hopefully. Dan |
