I'm changing the CWP in my car ...if I change to the gearkit Iwould like would give me more top speed (about 125)
I could, then again if I spend the money on a gear kit there willbe none left for events........
It's getting close!!!!
As always we need as much help as possible setting up on the Friday if you can help please get in touch... nick.eccles@eds.com or nick@brizrallyesport.co.uk or 07790 490027.
Also this year we are planning to lay about 25 Tonnes of Tarmac and we need to prepare the surface the evening before, this is likely to be on either Friday 27th June or Friday 11th July, if youc an help or want more info get in Touch with Alan or myself.
Nick.
Thanks for that offer Keith.
We are hoping to get a contractor in to do the bulk of the work for us on Friday evening but he is being very difficult to contact.
If there is no contraxctor then there will be a lot of work but even if the contractor does come there will still be a fair amount of work with spades and bruches to get the surface prepared.
So you help would be appreciated either way.
I am guessing that we will get to the airfiled at about 18:00 but this is not confirmed yet and it will take 1-2 hours with the contractors help and a long time if he is not there.
3 weeks to go....
Thanks for the replys/text messages to date but more help is needed for the Friday if possible as I'm determined we'll be getting to the Pub before closing time again this year !
Meet Friday at 10am Keevil Airfield
As security of the site is much increased over previous years if you get there and the gate is shut then call 07530 348654 - this number will be available Friday-Sunday only
I think we are proud to be members of TMC who must now run one of the best tarmac single venue events in the country.
I agree,What a cracker! Everyone seemed to be having a good time - the event had a great atmosphere about it.Even the weather was better than expected - a real bonus.
The stages were very interesting, I think maximum use was made of the 'nadgery bit' - and the run across the old trailer park to avoid using the narrow concrete loop for the last four stages was a good move.
Thanks again to everyone involved in the running of the event, and to all the marshals who stood out all day in the sun so that we competitors could enjoy ourselves. Really pleased to have finished in the top 20 with the Golf, which ran without any problems all day.

J6 ....... Too tight or not Too tight that is the Question !!!
about 1min into the DVD preview at http://www.4sportvideo.co.uk/keevil%2008.wmv you see Kev Carr driving it and looks ok to me....
I have seen in car clips from Simon Munden, Hugget in and Escort, Ellis in an Escort and Steve Furzeland and only Furzeland had a problem and then only one the first time round (clockwise).
I think the problem lies with the small FWD cars with tight diffs and no power steering which just cannot get the lock on quickly enough. Strangely this is the type of car we thought we were helping by putting the tight bits in. Julian said that it was bad in the morning but running clockwise he had more of a run at and could use the hand brake.
I think that it should be opened out a bit next year but not too much.
Agreed ....
allow more entry speed when in the morning direction (anti clockwise SS1-6) but keep it as a 1st gear corner....
up to you but the in-car DVD I have is not all that great.
Some of the clips make my in car look like a proffesional job in comparison.
