First sprint I did was a Borough19 North Weald event with SELOC (Lotus Owners Club) and won the class. Next time out, Andy Stephens showed in his red Impreza and he won the class.

Russ, you have a lot to live up to. We're depending on you

Oh and remember to sort out numbers chaps! The week before the event you'll get the final instructions through the post which will have timings, course layout and the entry list with your number.

I have some spares I could be used in an emergency but no no 2's.

Yes good point!
Do most people use magnetic or stick on numbers :?:

Bit of both, I bought a roll of magnetic sheet and cut it up so i have a set of numbers, so just pick what I need and stick it on the car. Gerry takes the more "pikey" route of printing his on A4 sheets and taping it in his windows. Either are fine really. Just looks a little more "pro" if you have proper number on the side of the car IMHO.
