NW FF1600 Oulton Park 30th July - Some more new drivers

[diz]

With 18 days to go, there are 43 entries. When the usual 'late entry' suspects put their entries in, I expect to have 56 minimum and hopefully over 60 come the day.

So who is new this time.

Firstly, Steve Jensen is bringing his Swift SC92 up from Castle Combe for an away day. Steve is a front runner at Combe and should go well.

Phil Bisgrove - a regular a few years back - is hoping to complete the season in Dave Harwood's Road + Stage Van Diemen RF86

Juicie Bruceie will be out in the B J Welding Van Diemen RF00, having debuted the car at Mallory last weekend.

Lee Chatburn is making his Opal Telecom North West FF1600 debut He has acquired the ex-Chris Hodgen Van Diemen RF90. Lee, from Albrighton in Shropshire, has been commuting to contest the Northern Ireland Championship since last season, in a car hired from Mike Edgar Racing. He intends to continue this arrangement for the rest of this season, whilst planning to use his new car in selected mainland events, as a precursor to a full NW campaign in 2006.

Steve Nixon has moved home from the North East to Macclesfield and is switching fron the Darlington Motor Club Sports Saloon series to single seaters. He now actually works in the same place as Mike Mullins's wife Jane {it's a small world}. Steve has bought the ex Sarah Minshaw RF86 from the bloke with the foreign name who took the car in part ex when Sarah had the RF93 from him [that Jason sort of modified in last year's Moose Trophy]
