Good to know someone will attend the Curborough taster. Don't foget we want a report and pix of how you get on

You can enter as many or as few events as you like. The more you do though, the better the value of the annual licence and club membership fees.

Other than MSA licence, you need club membership (HCC is

Fate? The HCC event at North Weald is a safe venue with very little to hit other than the odd cone.

You need to be a member of a motor club to enter any MSA events. The BP club of choice is Harrow Car Club.

YOU DO NOT NEED A DOCTOR'S REPORT. That's only for racing. No need for speed events.

Timing strut is quite simple. Just a strip of metal or plastic fixed with screws or taped to the foremost part of the car to esure it breaks the timing beam before any part of the car. Assuming you don't cross the finish line sideways

Don't worry about asking Qs. No problem.

Excellent guide Lee,

Hadn't thought about using the number plate screws to hold it on :thumb:
