Im with car 8 a Blue Scooby belonging to MEF off here



Tim fancy you learning how to post pictures - I had 2 co-drivers on standby for you by the way

Here's Tim and Markk taken by me earlier in the year



Radders, Im servicing for Martin, but will be taking the camera

The Audi should be this one





It did a few demonstration laps 2 years aga at the hands of Malcolm Wilson, but was banned from competing because of its Aluminium cage. I believe it now has a more modern steel one fitted and will be allowed to compete. The sound from it is just pure AWESOME

 

I'm hoping to get over there

Just need to convince the bird that it's a good plan

Neil.

 

how much is entry?

and what time does it kick off?

going to come down from newcastle with a few mates

 

well looking forward to this now

Best of luck tim

 

Ł7 entry per person (Croft circuit charges) and usually kickes off at 9-15ish

Entry List here

Spot on, how long is it running for?

Deffo bringing some of the boys down for this, will be wicked!

Camera at the ready!

 

Until the last competitor has finished the last stage - usually around 5-30pm so the last few stages are in the dark. The sight of the high powered spotlights flashing around the circuit at night is magic

 

Cant wait!

Made my crimbo day this thread!

Got about 10 of the lads up for it aswell, should be good.

Is this laps around the curcuit, or is it off on fields?

 

Its a sealed surface event so will be tarmac and the old loose runway only.

Last years stage map given to competitors looked like this.....



Try following the red line from the start - to the finish getting all the splits and chicanes correct, then put yourself in a vehicle being chucked round at speed and imagine it.

In fact a mate has a video from his nova taken last year - I will see if I can find it

 

pity its a bit too far.

hope all goes well for you.

 

PF member 'Northern Bloke' has some clips on his website

Just hunting for the incar footage now

 

Cant wait, should be a great day out


can get my new Fuji S7000 camera out for a test run too

 

Cool, i cant wait!

What time should i get there if i want a decent spot?

i went over when the touring cars were on, and stood in the hairpin, but i doubt they will let us stand there for this event.

 

I believe spectator viewing has been slightly more restricted this year than in previous years, so arrive early to avoid any dissapointment.

I'll probably have my PF coat on, so if you get into the service area be sure to come over and say hi to both Tim and me

 

Still looking for the incar video

But Steve Preez has confirmed that both the Gp B Audi or Lancia wll NOT be their as neither were finished in time

 

Dave

Camelot (Park Hall - Preston) is running on the 27th/28th

Tim,see you down there,but where's the service area going to be.

 

will be at preston instead

 

good luck lads all the best

 

piece of piss

 

D'oh... I'm at banger racing on Tuesday in Carnforth so may even pass some of you guys on the M-Way on the way home... if i do, al give you a wave

 

Warton Shell ? I have been round there in my mates granada

 

Tony, she said Carnforth!

Shell, I wouldn't call your car a banger!!

 

I was kidnapped and taken to the place in the back of a van

Didn't have a clue where I was until I read it in the programme.

They are all the same to me

 

LOL! One's near Lytham and the others near Morcambe/Wankfaster...I mean Lancaster!! Not to far from each other!

 

bloody hell tim did you post that pic ?

got to say i do love this car, having been lucky enough to be in it on a competetive stage and to get my first 2nd overall, it is a proper weapon in disguise. looks just like any other escort cosworth from the outside, but has so many trick bits on it you wouldnt believe. good luck mate - im sure you'll do well, try and upset a few of the 'christmas regulars'

 

yes,i did post that myself,wasnt to difficult once i read how to do it,all scruitineered,bloody cold over there and threatening snow,will post more pics tommorow.

 

rus is the rally 2moz at preston, is that on the kartin circuit? or like a road rally thing

what time does it start

any costs etc

cheers
