Well done Ben :thumb: you could read through this:

It was intended as advice for the beginners at the virgins night and may be usefull. It's not a sprint so don't go blasting off like a looney

build your speed to allow brakes, tyres and engine to get to temp. Try and latch onto someone who seems toknow the way round and follow them. Remember their lines may not be best for you.

Check the usual things before going out, oil, water, tyres, wheel nuts, rubbish floating around inside the car. Get there in time for signing on and briefing and away you go

Relax, enjoy and chat about it afterwards at the meet

Also, I've put you on the list for the meet. You need to be listed in case security stop you at the entrance.

See you tomorrow. 8)

Does anyone know the tyre regs what class or differnce would it make if i run with the colway cut tyres

Classes are based on practice times and are 3 sec categories iirc.

There's no scrutineering. There's a convoy run before practice and if your car makes it round OK, it's deemed to be roadworthy

plus they trust you to ensure that it is.

Won't be going to this one as I have a sprint on Sunday. Just enjoy it, there are few formalities to worry about and everyone's very friendly.

Do you know who else is going? I believe Andy won't be at this one also.

Don't think the November one is open to us. I've entered for the October one though. That new towing rule is a real pain

Yes, I'm doing the B 19 sprint this Sun and the Harrow CC next. Both N Weald.

I think November is for RAF personnel only. Probably know more at the Oct one.

Take the test again? I didn't think your driving was that bad

Didn't you say it's
