Big Power Sprint Champ. Round 1

[Gerry H]

Does anybody know the layout of the circuit at North Weald I saw a couple of vidio clips and it looked a bit like the course ran from one end of the airfield to the other with a couple of dversions along th eway. Do we get a preview with the joining instructions or take pot luck on the day or is it race strategy to keep it a secret from those of us who dont know the circuit

I see where Russ gets his worry beads polished. :-D

The course layout varies slightly with each organising club. A layout should arrive with the finals, when they arrive.

Despite the map, walking the course is a must.

Another useful tip. Don't go rushing out to first practice, unless it's number order. Go stand by the back of the burger van and watch the first few runs.

Its under 1400cc isn't it? if so it'd be D8.

Yep plenty in that class too.

[IWANT1]

Finals arrived :lol:

No worries there. Dikie Grimes is the one to catch. 550 BHP according to him, as of today's little chat.

its was less than that Sunday...is this a chinese whisper???

Anyway, he still needs to be able to drive it to get a good time! And North Weald is not a power circuit.

Just got e-mailed my finals.....its the twidly course with the tight corners at the bottom before you return up the narrow road.

i think i prefer the (slightly) longer course but is a bit of a tyre ripper :lol:

Received the finals a few mins ago.

The 550 figure was straight from the nag's head. Take that how you like, I can think of three ways)

We'll see what Sunday brings.

Car's still not running and suspension bushes won't be fitted in time.

Good advice Gerry!

And on the Convoy run, myself, Gerry and Trev can passenger and give some hints and tips if required....as long as those in B5 promise not to beat me
