That's what I was thinking about in my earlier post, the odd Crossle, ADR or Radical would be even worse but at least my class would be limited to a minimum of 2.5 lt.

Graeme, closing date is this Tuesday.

Sod it, my daughter has just reminded me it is my Grandson's 2 birthday celebration on the 19th and they have booked my house (lovely, all those screaming kids, know where I would rather be) so thats me out, shame I was warming to the idea.

Eddy V · 4 Mar 2006, 14:48 (Ref:1536163)

Oh well, another day then. Lots of fun at home, Al.

Al Weyman · 4 Mar 2006, 15:59 (Ref:1536193)

Well at least thats insured it will be a dry day as everywhere I go the heavens open.

Al Weyman · 6 Mar 2006, 08:55 (Ref:1537117)

I'm planning to do the TRC round on the GP circuit in April provided the entry fee is as promised, still awaiting SR's. So I may see you there Eddy.

**Tim Falce** · 6 Mar 2006, 18:57 (Ref:1537440)

I see the Sports and GT race is over subscribed. Looks like I may not get a race after all.

Eddy V · 6 Mar 2006, 20:57 (Ref:1537537)

Good, Al, I will be there for that one as well. When am I not there really?

Note to self: remember booking another channel crossing.

Are you entered Tim? Would be nice to see the car running.

**Tim Falce** · 6 Mar 2006, 21:04 (Ref:1537551)

Eddy, I did fax the entry last night, I phoned today to see if he could read it but there seems to be a problem as he said it was a bit faint. I have posted it today so don't know if I have a place. I will ring tomorrow and find out.

Eric Falce · 8 Mar 2006, 08:35 (Ref:1540073)

Yup, your in Tim, so am I,will be using the Fiesta as the Escort is being readied for sale and as that car seems to attract everyone who has never dented an Mk1 Escort,it stays locked up.

Mike Kelly 1 · 8 Mar 2006, 17:34 (Ref:1540586)

Glad to hear its going to be a full grid, just what us marshals want to see on the long trip down from Lancashire

**Stephen Green** · 8 Mar 2006, 19:11 (Ref:1540679)

Got my tickets through the post today. Nice to see MSVR are giving us marshals a fiver as well!

Mike Kelly 1 · 8 Mar 2006, 19:33 (Ref:1540689)

Full grids and a fiver! Now we are being spoilt!

Now all I have to do is find the other £40 odd quid for the petrol

So that's where the extortionate entry fee went, you'll be getting no doughnuts this time Greeny

Meany racing driver

Piglet · 8 Mar 2006, 21:14 (Ref:1540742)

I'm looking forward to it - it'll be the first meeting for me this year and it looks like a good one!

Eric Falce · 8 Mar 2006, 21:30 (Ref:1540749)

All the grids will be full with the exception of the single seater race,but that is fairley well supported from what I can understand. Dont worry Steve,if I can get to Tesco in time,the doughnuts are on me.

**Stephen Green** · 8 Mar 2006, 22:25 (Ref:1540779)

You two are like the Brothers Grim

Al Weyman · 9 Mar 2006, 08:24 (Ref:1540963)

Here you go then, this proves what I have been banging on about for years and I don't give a damn what the organising clubs say about the entry fee 'only' being the price of a tyre and that is not the reason for falling grids blah, blah blah. The bottom line is is give us a deal and you will fill the grids even if almost still in the winter, end of story.

Now lets hope MSV see the potential here and this thing takes of, you never know there may be some really good racing to be seen (I am convinced there will) and you also never know people may actually start coming through the gates again prepared to part with a bit of cash to be entertained and low and behold dare I say that MSV may even make a good return on this generous gesture and as importantantly it appears we have the marshalls on board as well. This is the way forward IMHO and as far as I am concerned £170 to £190 for a 15 minute clubbie race as currently being asked is too damned much, this is more like it and I wish I was going!

Maybe we should start a new thread on this subject 'Would you race more if entry fees were far lower?'

**Stephen Green** · 9 Mar 2006, 08:38 (Ref:1540974)

Al, you have mentioned the key word there 'entertainment'. JP himself said to me last week that we are in the entertainment business as indeed we are. He is very excited about MSVR and I can only hope that he continues with the lower cost of racing at his meetings. After all, you want value for money, as marshals (and spectators( we want to see full grids. With full grids comes a greater chance of closer racing etc etc etc.

Bullish? You bet I am .

**Tim Falce** · 11 Mar 2006, 10:21 (Ref:1543542)

I just got the final instructions, I should get at least 4th or 5th in class. There seems to be a USAF bomber there as well, what's a Stealth B6?

Ian Sowman · 11 Mar 2006, 10:27 (Ref:1543547)

Is that David Krayem's car? That's the ex-Bob Light Combe GT race winner. Awesome machine. First pic on here:

Al Weyman · 11 Mar 2006, 10:29 (Ref:1543548)

If its anything like the Steath GT in the ads of Motorsport this month I would place you well behind that falcemob. 6.5 all alloy Chevy motor with 500bhp mid engined 0 to 60 in 3.6 seconds oh thats for the road version! Thats the one Ian!

I seem to be in a class of my own!! But I can see enough cars in the allegedly lesser class of the saloons that will see me off without much trouble

Guess no-one else thought to query the class structure and ask nicely if they could play anyway?
