Phew. confirmed entry for Hethel now. Hope you do make it TK.

Russ - not sure how much enterage i'm taking yet, but will let you know if i end up with a spare pass. A few friends and relatives starting to show some interest now. Anyone know how many they let into this event? is it 2 support cars like North Weald?

Who else has entered? Got to be one of the must enter events of the Sprint calender!

Another one I'm having to miss

Enjoy yourselves chaps

For those who've not done Hethel before, there are things to hit here, unlike NW, Honington, etc

How come Gerry??

Oh, and since when have you been Mr Negative?? There is a saying, no risk no fun!

Anyway, there is always things to hit whereever you are Sprinting/tracking.

Bet more people have rolled at NW than Hethel!!!

Jason, I think you are allowed either 1 or 2 support vehicles, not 100% sure, but that gives you 8 people that can come and watch.

Did you get a e-mail to confirm your entry, not sure I have one if so!

I wasn't trying to be negative, just cautionary and yes, I've seen two cars roll at NW but they only ever bounce off the tyres at Hethel but then Hethel's built for purpose.

Don't mind me, I'm losing my youthful bravado

Goodwood did the same for me

Are they allowing a full lap and a bit of the roundabout with grip changes this time?

Stuart, course is the same as last year, start at the same place you did in 2008, then round the bottom of the track (not doing the full roundabout loop) and the finish was then at the beginning of the Hanger straight so you had the fast sweeper that they call Windsock to go round.

Top fun!

Yep - had an email from Christine (i think) - on the work email so i'll check in the morning.

I've e-mailed her for confirmation! Worried now!

Who's coming to watch then?? Mini Blacky should be there to get his first sniff of petrol based activities unless it's nasty weather!
