Castle Combe - Rally Day
 (United Kingdom)

We have tickets again for the Rally Day taking place this year on Saturday 20 September.

I have 10 track passes which will be available on a first conme first served basis with a maximum of 2 per person unless I have any left over.

I also have 6 car places booked on the Tavern MC stand.

Please let me know if you want track time passes or if you just want to bring your rally car for display on the stand ASAP please.

Thanks

Alan

I could probably bring the golf up for display on the stand - all being well it will have just been re-painted and signwritten so should be looking smart! Not sure about taking it out on the track though - might get scratched.

Alan,I I'll have a couple of track passes after all!  I have just realised that I've not taken the Golf around Combe since a couple of  trackdays in 1996/7, so why not.  Pay you at Keevil on 25th OK?

Dave Perrot is bringing his Escort along as well.  Making a decision about track passes.

So we have 306RWD, Golf, Celica, Escort MkI, Escort MKII

Not a bad mixture.

One more plave to be filled.

Re: Castle Combe - Rally Day

Well I had a good time on the track, I took the Escort out twice, the last time with Steve Conner sat in me and I managed to spin coming out of quarry (trying too hard to get it sideways!!) ... I also went out in my Escort in the passenger seat with Noddy driving .... that was interesting, nervous on the first lap enjoyed the rest !!

 

It was good to see the 6 cars on teh Tavern Stand and also so many Taverners there as well !

Not a bad article in my local paper although I was a bit miss quoted.

Nice to be in the same news article as Mikko Hirvonen.
