Is it tight or farly open Duncan, eg is it a power circuit or not?

If I am thinking of the right place which I am 99% sure I am, the twistie bit called "The Snake" is all about handling and transitions from left to right and composure - yours will be fine through there but the trees are very close to the edge

I will scan a picture if I can find it.

The banked section around the perimeter (ish) is fast as you would expect but they will probably put in chicanes to slow you down.

The snake is similar to the Wipperman to Escbach bit but without the good cambers, so you are not far wrong. Bloody slippy though but better in spring than in Autumn IMO.

Had a confirmation email this morning for the entry but there's no mention of either AEMC or HarrowCC. I've emailed queries to both AEMC and the organisers.

Bit peed if it's not a round of AEMC.

Interesting, as you said, its listed as a round in the AEMC, wonder if its because all the championships regs are not 100% signed off from the MSA that its not listed???

I am a B19 member now, as I am doing their speed championship. will join Harrow when the JISC regs come out.

Confirmation e-mail also has arrived for me.

Let me know Gerry if you get an answer from Chris Deal at the AEMC regarding the championship stance of this event.

Problem is between me and the event organisers, I will not bore you with the details but rest assured it is a round of the AEMC championship.
