Was it the blue one with gold wheels?

Sorry, couldn't resist :-D Will you be going again this year? If you are, we'll have to say hello :thumb:

The class structure is somewhat ambiguous, or has been. There's Pro & Private but they won't say who's in which :roll:

Pretty sure last year it ran as, if its quicker than a 11.3 then you're in the pro class.

Its worth having a go if anyones interested, 1/4 mile most will have a rough idea of their time. Handling has been a tricky one to call last 2 years due to weather.

[Gerry H]

Last year I only managed about 3 1/4s and a couple of circuits when the gearbox cried enough

I was led to believe, by Shaun on S/net that sponsorship determined who was pro. I had a moan because I wanted to compare my times with other private entrants not the pros.

Best to check out the site, pretty sure it will say on there.

You're right. Sub 11.5 and you're pro. Personally, I think that's bloody stupid. There's more to being pro than sub 11.5 What about handling times, no mention of a break time there.

I've entered but I'd like to know who I'm competing against.

[MichaelH]

I should be there, signed up last year and the car wasn't ready so Chris said I could go in this year instead.

Just hope my cars ready! :lol:

[Dill]

I think the 'pro' thing should be decided before you go there.

Everyone knows which is a pro car and which isn't, and is a hollow victory from anyone entering as a non-pro, doesn't look good for them does it.

As far as handling goes, its still pretty much open winning wise, weather can play a big part. I think RCMS were in a class of their own last year, but i think (it was a year ago!) it was pretty tight after them.

There were a number of sponsored cars, quite a few from the Clinic. I only got two handling runs in, as the gearbox was playing up and I ended up 15th.

I tried to establish who were the pros as I wanted a comparison against the privateers, which I thought was fair enough. From the reaction, anyone would think I was questioning their parentage. Even Andy F asked what difference did his day job make ffs :roll:

I'll just treat it as a day out this time.

Quite a bit I should imagine.
