Hi All long time no see due to work on a monday night.
That is when the Forum is useful
Agreed, being stuck in Derby this and the BRF is the only thing keeping me sane !
Well, myself, Sarah & Steve (&Denise I think) will be with you on the Saturday, Waterproofs packed!!! need to make sure I find a suitable spot to park the Disco to show off the Tavern Logo that's on the back to all Crews as they approach the Start !
Nick get there early doors then you just tell the bloke on the entry to the service area, using your usual 'whos running this event voice' that they wont be able to start the event with out you being at the stage start and just drive to the start and park it there by the gate.
or just say it's a radio car, the 81 set will be in there and the Tavern 2 sticker is on the back...
So do we know which Taverners have a run ?
Jim ? Simon ? Dave P ? JD ? Rob P ?
Dave Perrot did not get a run for no apparent reason. Phil Sprason is in from what I have heard.
Lee is in with Les Skeet.
12 Les Skeet / Lee Harding 205 rwd
16 Jim Munden / Dale Lovegrove Escort
23 Mark Chapman / Kevin Harbour MG ZR
27 Rob Perry / Shaun Harding Escort
36 Simon Munden / John Leigh Escort
63 Phil & Tracey Sprason Escort
79 Jon Enwright / Dave Attiwell Escort
80 Roger Croft? / John Dando BMW
Not forgetting our start line marshalling crew and others servicing there is quite alot of us there.
I think Roger is a TMC member...
So has Lee pushed Theresa out of left hand seat in les' car then ?
Who do we have on the start crew this year I am in for both sat and sun
Dave Perrot got a call today out of the blue to say somebody has withdrawn so did he want a run(he didnt know he was a reserve).
Answer Yes and whos in silly seat...um that'll be me then.
That's good Keith, will make a change for you in an Escort!
I see Dave A is in the silly seat as well for this event - is this a one-off ride for him?
Hope to see you all still running on the Sunday when I marshal.
Sat - Me, Sarah, Steve, Denise & you
Sun - Phil, BT, me, you
I think its a one off for Dave,he is helping Jon out with his new escort as its the cars first event.
See you at the weekend Steve.
What happened to Jim & Simon Munden ... did they restart today?
Yes, although Dale collected Jim's car about 45 minutes after every other car had disappeared from parc ferme, as Jim was still eating breakfast.
Simon stopped right by us, not sure what the problem was, but got pushed back into service, Jim last seen going very slowly with hazards on. Ironically both on first stage today.
Mark Chapman came through the start twice with steam coming from under his bonnet (and from under his helmet I expect, but I didn't look that closely) but was fine after that so obviously got it sorted.
JD thumbs upping & laughing all the time, despite huge dent appearing in his door half way through the day.
I have nearly thawed out.
But not quite!
Thanks Tim,
I think we had the warmest day out of teh two yesterday then ... or should that be the least cold day !
Simon broke a shaft after hitting a kerb by the hairpin by the start and Jim's gearbox broke.
Jon Enwright broke his wheel and axle on a rock also on sundays first stage.
Better news Roger and John,Rob and Shaun,Mark Chapman,Lee and myself and Dave all finished
