Eddy V · 22 Jan 2008, 21:29 (Ref:2111520)

I've lost the 6 hour about two pages ago somewhere.
Damn, now you have passed me that dream on I guess. Just trying to fit in Gordon. Besides, where do you get 10,000 old farts from?

10,000 OFs and 15,000 teeth.

Just mention Spa and all your lovely personal thoughts you have about it would provide an answer

Eddy V · 22 Jan 2008, 21:40 (Ref:2111539)

Yeah right I know that, but that still leaves 9999.

terence · 22 Jan 2008, 22:48 (Ref:2111601)

Excuse me,could someone tell me where the Spa thread is please,only I dont seem to be able to find it.--------------------------------------------

Yes, quite! Get it back on track, guys, or we'll have to start moving some posts into a chitchat thread .... or something! I note that it is the usual culprits and it's usually on a Spa thread!

meanwhile the prepping of the Healey for the 6 h gets from and the TVR will get meaner as well in the next month.
i am as serious as possible on the 6h matter.

delta · 23 Jan 2008, 20:59 (Ref:2112231)

O K down to me to get back on track.Looks like we can go to Spa and race the Sports 2000 historic Tiga in the FHR Yokohama cup in June. So all being well and getting entries we race June 14th and 15th,Then 6 hours " and had a call today might be involved in the 6 hour as well " .Not sure as to what involvement be nice if i was driving as i have only been on the spanners in the past.Finnally 17th 18th 19th of October with the FF2000. So not to bad after all. How you getting on finding a tour bus Eddie.

simon drabble · 27 Jan 2008, 17:31 (Ref:2114827)

on theme - my wife has allowed me a budget this season that includes paying for a drive in the 6 Hour so if anyone is looking for a driver let me know...

terence · 27 Jan 2008, 17:58 (Ref:2114851)

Christmas bonus good then

simon drabble · 27 Jan 2008, 18:35 (Ref:2114890)

sadly not good enough to buy my own 6 Hour car ;-(

zefarelly · 27 Jan 2008, 21:41 (Ref:2115011)

at least you know that under good management you have a wig over your head at night

I've said it before . . . Anglia . . . 1200cc. be cool man !

**Peter Mallett** · 28 Jan 2008, 07:37 (Ref:2115283)

I suspect you won,t be alone Simon. I know of a few drivers with the budget. I suspect threads like this have done more to increase the popularity of the event than the very poor publicity produced by the Spa organisors. Incidentally, they won the award for best event from Masters for last year. Of course that did not have to consider the timing issue, so critics of both needn't go there.

terence · 28 Jan 2008, 08:03 (Ref:2115292)

Yeah, the six hour aint bad is it Peter

.You are right about the lack of advertising from Vincent/Alain,I can remember a few years ago when quite a few people did not even know where Belgium was let alone Spa!.Just goes to show that when realy good events get off the ground,everyone wants to get in.

Eddy V · 28 Jan 2008, 09:32 (Ref:2115346)

I still remember the very first 6 Hour.

Not that many cars for this daytime event. And to be honest I didn't think it would grow into something as big as this.

terence · 28 Jan 2008, 09:39 (Ref:2115349)

I was there for that one Eddy,only crewing though,then I thought it would be a good idea to do myself the following year! So I have no-one else to blame

I personally feel that the daytime events were better though,more time for socialising afterwards.

Eddy V · 28 Jan 2008, 09:56 (Ref:2115362)

What? Even more time for that?

terence · 28 Jan 2008, 13:40 (Ref:2115516)

Well,it is still socialising Eddy.

Henrik Pedersen · 8 Feb 2008, 08:35 (Ref:2123865)

We are a dad/son team that thinks about entering the 6-hours race in our MATRA Djet, its in cat.GTS-8, is there any other that we drive against in our category/class?
If by any chance I will be able to do the 6-hours race, can anybody help me with some basic things?
Do I need a light on the sidenumbers? Will it be best to have a 3-drivers team?

rogerwills · 8 Feb 2008, 08:57 (Ref:2123882)

I saw one of these a few years ago - little French thing powered with a Renault Gordini engine right? Were they homologated and do you have HTP papers?

If so, I think you would be in a class with Sprites and the like - there was at least one in the 6 hour last year as I started at the very back of the grid (having not qualified in the Cortina) and was amongst all the small engine cars at the back.

Yes, you can do 2 drivers quite easily.

And no, you don't need side numbers.

Henrik Pedersen · 8 Feb 2008, 09:10 (Ref:2123891)

Yes, it has FIA HTP papers, are homologated, Gordini engine on 1108 ccm. doing around 125-130 HP, weights 615 kg, have disc all around. A nimble little car.

simon drabble · 8 Feb 2008, 10:18 (Ref:2123936)

that's no good - its not a bent V8 or MGB.... ;o)

rogerwills · 8 Feb 2008, 10:23 (Ref:2123940)

Careful Simon, I know what you are in for 2008.......

Henrik Pedersen · 8 Feb 2008, 10:51 (Ref:2123958)

I know, Simon
I hope it will rain like never before, then I will just turn it upside down and powerboat through it.
