Ok, in the fear of looking like an idiot, What the hell is the Ace Vehicle Delivery Championship? Is it like SEMSEC of the north or something?

its the north west sports/saloon car championship run by the BARC not to be confused with the northern sports /saloon car championship run by the ddmc

I'm sure you'd find somebody to play with! While there are some very fast cars out there, there are also some relatively low-powered cars, such as a more-or-less stock XR2.

G.Walker · 22 Dec 2007, 22:00 (Ref:2093919)

The diversity of the grid is one of its most appealing factors. Rovers SD1's and Minis to a Darrian an Tuscan.

big andy · 22 Dec 2007, 22:55 (Ref:2093927)

ian 51 theres always somebody to race with most of the cars are of the special/modified saloon, modsport type car but there is a few road saloons as well

Hi Andy and all, look forward to seeing you next year, many of you in the Championship prob know me best as (sometimes) chief pit marshal, especially at Angelsey, All being well I will be racing my Nissan 200SX 1991 model, Dave Taylor said I should be in class D.

I have only recently passed my ARDS test, so will be carrying the novice badge too, one of the major things that attracted me to this championship was, the respect of the drivers to each other.

IAN #51 · 26 Dec 2007, 19:17 (Ref:2095038)

I will give it a try im not an absolute novice i have completed about 8 races plus the Birkett ! so i will probably see you on the grid next year.

Thanks

Ian

If you enter a BARC event at Oulton there is invariable a round on, bit like DMN but as i see it one suttle difference, no class breaks for more mundane roadcar based vehicles i.e. basically like DMN Class A split into cc breaks. Seen some good races over the years and the tubular space frame Camaro car I have in the garage was raced in it at one time at least thats what the stickers say!

gravel_monkey · 27 Dec 2007, 03:41 (Ref:2095187)

all i would say ian is what was in the pm, all us guys in orange love the ace series as it gives some crackin racin spread over several classes and incorparates everything from dtm astras and sierra thunder saloons right down to completly standard xr2i's. always good racin and someone to race with with and a plus from our side of the bank always clean racing aswell

graeme · 27 Dec 2007, 10:14 (Ref:2095252)

I've raced in NW sports & saloons for a few years in my 100bhp Caterham (and even won my class last year), though only got out in it once this season. I'm normally in amongst the tail ender SD1s, Europas and saloons but have to pick my circuits (Cadwell and Oulton Island are good for low powered cars; I don't find Croft worth it because of the long straights) - I once nearly won outright at old Anglesey and have put it on the front row of the grid a few times in damp qualifying. Let me know when you're entering and I'll see if I can make it - I'm sure we'll be around each others pace. There does seem more slower cars in the series this season.

Don't think it'll be called Ace Vehicles in 2008...

Alan Cherry · 27 Dec 2007, 12:41 (Ref:2095305)

MMM - Sounds interesting, but too far up for us southern softies - we get a nose bleed if we go as far as Mallory ! But - as it's organised by the BARC NW, and the DMN's are organised by the BARC SE, a NW-SE Challenge at the end of the year at a Neutral circuit might make cracking entertainment if people have any money/cars left at the end of the season - Throw in the SE TinTops against the more standard NW cars, and you should be able to fill a few grids I'd have thought -Good idea or stupid ? Would JP cut a deal for such a show at one of his circuits for an end of season special ?

pit bull · 27 Dec 2007, 21:10 (Ref:2095508)

For that I'd guess you would have to have a chat with our co-ordinator Oop ere in north, Mr John Leck.
P.S. I'm a soft southerner living here Op north...

Cadwell is my favourite circuit and can't get a race there in 2008, what is happening!!
The Classic Modified Saloons are not there this season,
The LMA's have cancelled their meeting there too!! Now you boys are not there!! I am really pi***d Off!!

big andy · 25 Jan 2008, 15:27 (Ref:2113411)

ross thiers no northern sports/saloons either only race i can see to race in at cadwell this year is a allcomers race with the 750mc or cssc

why is no one using the best track in the country

joss Ronchetti · 25 Jan 2008, 15:40 (Ref:2113418)

'JOSS' Not Ross!!!....I'm sure you do that on purpose Pandy, sorry Andy!!
I had seen the CSSC Future Classics race but it conflicts with an LMA Championship Double Header at Anglesey! Mind you at least Anglesey is the next best to Cadwell for ups and downs!!
I will have to keep my eyes open for the 750mc allcomers race there, If you see any other races there that we can enter let us know please
Cheers J-O-S-S lol

Fliers with this year's dates were handed out at the 'Big Night Out' on Saturday; I didn't get one, so I can't be sure, but I think the dates are finalised.
