12 Car - 28 November
 (United Kingdom)

It is about time someone started a thread about the 12 Car event on Friday 28 November so here it is.

As most of you know Denise and I do not compete in road events but we will be out Marshalling - if of course there are enough crews entered for the event to run.

Get your entries in now then phone your potential rivals and tell them to enter and let's make this event a success.

So who is planning on entering or knows of anyone not on this forum who is entering?

You beat me to it.I am planning on entering with me in the stressful seat trying not to get us lost.

Question? Does the driver have to be a member of the club?

I am sure that both driver and co-driver have to be members.  Don't know about any other passengers though??

So far I've had no luck in persuading anyone to come out  in the lanes . If I don't get any offers I will marshal.

At least then I will be able to enjoy the glorious sound of Lee's 6R4!

Who else has entered so far?

Spoke to John Dando last night and he wants to co drive as well.  He can't use his Volvco in the lanes any more as it is a bit tired.  JD said that he was going to contact you to see if something could be sorted out but you would have to drive.

If he hasn't phoned you yet try his work email john.dando@sisnic.co.uk.  He usually answers fairly quickly.

It's not the driver in the Leigh car that is the problem Will, it is who would drive in any car with you jinxing the co-drivers seat

Good news!  John Dando has agreed to team up for the evening - the last time he sat with me was Smeatharpe in 2004 when we had a 'moment' on two wheels! Don't know what we will be using yet , might be the van!

Question is - will there be enough entries for the event to run???

Thanks to Georgina for organizing the event... Had a good laugh in the Fog... We were a bit rusty but improved as the event went on... Personally I think someone kept stealing the codeboards when we got to them.... Looking forward to the next one where hopefully we won't cause carnage on any hairpins :D

Yes, Thanks to Georgina and Martin for a very enjoyable evening. A good choice of roads although some were rather narrow for the Trafic van!

Some say we had an advantage in the fog by sitting higher up we could see better, but I can't agree with that - we didn't once get into 6th gear!

I was going to try handbraking it around the Waterley Bottom hairpin,Lee .......... maybe next time?

And Thanks also to the Marshals who made it all possible. We could not enjoy our sport without you.

Cracking route.

I must learn to keep an eye on the time (and Kit must learn to keep an eye out for the code boards!)

Never seen a van driven that quick before Steve, I'd dump the Golf & the Astra and enter the van for Brean!!!
