Several crews out on the Woodpecker on 4 September............Space for one more car on our stand at the Rally Day at Castle Combe on 18 September........3 track sessions for sale as well..................
Count me and Dan in please and we will have track time please.
Phil.
I won't be back from holiday until the 22nd so will not be able to attend this year sorry.
I need to start firming up on availability and track time now. Phil, can you confirm if you will definately be there, what car/cars you will be bringing and howe many track times you want. Thanks
I hope you have learnt a lesson here Steve. Plan you holidays more carefully in future.
Good News Alan! I had forgotten to mention that we had to change the original planned dates for our trip and now return on the 17th! So will be able to bring the Astra along, also will have two track sessions please. Will you have the in-car camera available?
How about that for devotion to duty, rearranging your existing holiday earns you more points that just arranging your holiday around the day. Consider your place and track passes booked and yes I intend to bring the camera.
Denise and I are starting our holiday on Sunday 20th even thoufg we will have to book our accomadation including the Saturday. I wanted to go to the Goodwood Revival on the Sunday and go away on the Monday but that idea was quickly crushed.
Thanks Steve. That is you and Nick (hopefully). You never know the 306 might make it yet.
Phil Wilkinson confirmed as well now and wants 4 track passes (although he may not get it all).
If anyone else wants track time then they had better book it quickly.
Nick Eccles????????
Highly unlikely I'll be there.... no MoT, Tax or Insurance at the mo and unlikely to get it done before (time & Money!)
And I do not really want to hire a Trailer for the day...
Phil Sprason has booked a place on the stand and 2 track sessions.
This will be the planned debut for his Millington Escort Mk1 - 300bhp+ !!!!!
Nick, you are welcome to borrow my trailer for the day if you want . I will be driving the Astra up as have it taxed at present.
Alan Are there any more spaces left on the stand - Dave Attiwell has said he could bring his Mk3 Astra up if space is available. He would not want any track passes.
How are the 306 repairs coming along?
I haven't spoken to Jim Munden or his lot yet (and they may want track time) but if there is still space in say a week or so time I will let you know.. Thanks
306, slowly...!
We have 4 cars for the TMC stand.
Steve Conner, Phil Wilkinson, Phil Sprason, Dave Attiwell.
Who from Tavern is going to be there??
Denise and I are missing out on 1 day of our holiday to be there on the Saturday and then it's off to St Ives on the Sunday.
It should be worth coming to see Phils Escort "in the flesh" and doing 2 track sessions hopefully.
I still have 1 paddock pass if someone wants to bring their rally car along. This comes with 1 free entry ticket otherwise it is about £15 on the gate I think. It has to be a rally car though.
I also have 2 track passes going for £25 each
Thanks to Alan and Denise for their efforts for the Rally Day.
I enjoyed it although had a heart stopping moment with my off on track caused by a coolant hose letting go big time.
We were able to fix it thanks to Merlin Motorsport and all their samco hoses and Dan drove us back home.
Looking forward to next year.
A generally good day out.
A successfull debut for Phil Spasons new Millington engined Escort showing the potential of a car with 350bhp+
Steve Conner faster round the circuit than many cars tghat should really expect to be beating him.
Phil Wlkinson loving every minute until a burst water hose causedhim to spin off and retire for the day.
And a busy day on the stand despite us not being in a very central position.
Videos of Phil "smiler" Wilkinson smiling his way through his track session and in-car of Steve as well will be on the website in the next couple of weeks.
