BTRDA March 6th (Postponed) - Page 2

Like it. So the value for the racer is good and the Spectators get to see some diverse action.

[Ageist]Truth to tell as far as racing is concerned these days I'm a long distance rather than sprint guy [/ageist] but I can see that the format provides for great racing.

Spectator · 16 Feb 2005, 18:45 (Ref:1227466)

Got it in one Peter.
Where else can you go and see possibly 40+ races for a £10
Great value for money

**Peter Mallett** · 16 Feb 2005, 19:03 (Ref:1227481)

Yep it looks good from all aspects.

Actually it should even appeal to our cousins across the pond (short attention span thing you know). Are there any American races? I know about the 4x4 races but it isn't the same.

**silver bullet** · 16 Feb 2005, 20:17 (Ref:1227560)

The Americans have what they call rallycross but it's not at all like the european events here's a link that may explain their version. http://www.dcrally.com/rallycross/rallycross.htm

Just thought I'd say my entry is in the post for Croft, but I will still be racing the Junior... Sadly we can't afford to build up a senior until we sell the junior car.

A podium finishing junior... and its still not sold.

Tommi W
You seem to be in the same position that several others are in.
The changes in the rules seems to be affecting lots of people and leading to uncertainty about what direction to follow.
Even if you do know where you want to go if there is no resale value in your current car you are left stranded and frustrated.
Best of luck

Queen · 17 Feb 2005, 13:55 (Ref:1228259)

Nice to see you have got off the Playstation Tommi. Sorry you can not sell your car at the moment, I am sure if your dad gets on the job with his gift it will soon go.

Cryos · 17 Feb 2005, 19:16 (Ref:1228591)

Tommi, would you not be better renting it out for the moment ? im not sure what the demand is but maybe that can earn you some revenue ?

[QUOTE=Spectator]
one of the supercars is the JMC Xsara
The other one may now belong to G Tracey

JMC or George won't be attending, all eyes on Lydden..

Spectator · 17 Feb 2005, 20:28 (Ref:1228689)

Thanks for the update larry1.
I was only reading what was on the DDMC web site.
Are they both going to be at Lydden?
Hope so. It should be a great day out.

larry1 · 17 Feb 2005, 20:37 (Ref:1228699)

John will defo in Lydden... currently testing the Xsara ( what a machine! ). George hopes to be there..should be a great season!!

Spectator · 17 Feb 2005, 20:45 (Ref:1228702)

Sounds brilient!!
Wonder if Big Pat will have the new Fiesta there as well?

**BertMk2** · 18 Feb 2005, 08:56 (Ref:1229091)

Fiesta is due to be ready for Lydden (at least that was the line taken at the autosport show) - what chances it being given a shakedown on the 19th of March at the Lydden test day (on the full tarmac circuit)?

ebby · 18 Feb 2005, 23:59 (Ref:1229836)

Is there a test day at Lydden too then? Is that free entry?

B Friendly · 19 Feb 2005, 13:29 (Ref:1230124)

Is there any more entries for March 6th, as I cannot download the spreadsheet from the DDMC website from offshore (The webmaster wont allow it, BOOOO!) to find out.

Queen · 19 Feb 2005, 14:23 (Ref:1230151)

45 entreis at last look.

It's a general test day on the tarmac circuit (organised by SEMSEC) - everything from single seaters to big fat saloons and sports cars. There may or may not be any rallycross cars there.

Steve Gibson · 20 Feb 2005, 19:15 (Ref:1230885)

Still 15 entries short of paying the bills, so to those who think they can enter at the last minute, think again we need either another 15 cars or a sponsor with 2 grand to make the event viable.
It would do rallycross no favours to loose this event.

**silver bullet** · 20 Feb 2005, 22:16 (Ref:1230950)

As this event is in both the BTRDA & the MDA clubmans championship you would have thought there would be no problem with entrys, what will happen with the stand alone clubman events. The events that run along with the super series should be OK as should the BTRDA Anglesey round but what will happen at the others is anybodys guess.

Matti Alamaki · 21 Feb 2005, 10:12 (Ref:1231282)

The only positive point about lack of entries is that it might force the RSS and BRDA to work together. Reality bites...

Steve Gibson · 21 Feb 2005, 17:34 (Ref:1231594)

The latest is we now have made the minimum required for the event to happen,
See you all at Croft on the 6th

**Peter Mallett** · 21 Feb 2005, 18:56 (Ref:1231648)

Good news! I look forward to reading the reports on here.

**BertMk2** · 22 Feb 2005, 19:01 (Ref:1232676)

Excellent news! Be good to finally get the season underway

sihorton · 22 Feb 2005, 19:52 (Ref:1232726)

Excellent news. Finally get chance to get back out on the circuit.

Si

PhilChicken · 24 Feb 2005, 08:26 (Ref:1234182)

Will the snow still be here next weekend though?

If not, does anyone have any excuses I can use?

Phil.
