Well the rain did a few of us a favour in the qualifying, shame it dried for our race.

Flippen heck it was like an October day this morning only 6 degrees and the bloody rain spoilt things this afternoon.

Al your Camero looked a right handfull through Quarry today the damp conditions did not suit you then

Where has the summer gone hopefully it'll be back for the next meeting,still it was good to see a few of the guy's on the ten tenths forum race pity i did not have time to catch up with you but had to get back up to quarry to meet the other half who then decied not to come as it was to cold......Women!!!!

Al Weyman · 28 May 2007, 20:09 (Ref:1923208)

You are right Gixxer bit to much rear anti-roll bar for the wet I think, she did'nt go bad in the dry race though and managed to make up 9 places, I got alongside Ian in the Capri and it would have been 7th if I had made it stick it stick but being older and wiser I backed off and lost my momentem then a bit after a big front wheel lock up out the back somewhere (quarry?) and she was getting a bit warm so I backed off a bit(some idiot forgot to switch on fan, me!), still despite everything I really enjoyed the run out.

Despite the weather what a brilliant meeting. Great racing throughout the field ,
The rain came during the easytrack bmw's and what fun that was cars off everywhere.

The sports racing gt field was a little thin but the battle for the lead was one of the best of the day.

Well done to all involved for keeping it on the black stuff

thebullet · 29 May 2007, 14:40 (Ref:1923831)

Great day, coldest i have been in a long time.
Great racing Falcemob, the car looked fanstastic.
That BMW race was just unreal lol cars all over the place a Quary
Just wondered if anyone hade any good photos of Joss Ronchetti thought he did really well to keep it infront of the Peugeot. Anyone see his hat fall of in the winners car lol?.

Well done all.

brands · 29 May 2007, 16:07 (Ref:1923905)

I agree shame they charged for pit entry, Unlike Mallory and Donington that are free.

Hi

Did anybody see the carsh between the Green MG ZR number 23 and yellow MGZR in qualifing for the castle combe sallon championship, was it a big crash.

As i was a mechanic for that car, it had 1 big dent in drivers side and 2 smashed side glass panels, but we managed to get back out.

James

thebullet · 29 May 2007, 17:14 (Ref:1923958)

Well i saw the Green MG huge dent in the drivers side door. Must have been pretty bad. But i didn't see it no.

Jamesd · 29 May 2007, 17:18 (Ref:1923962)

From what I heard from the driver was he span at quarry and just as he got going he missed gear and the yellow car came over avon rise and had cars next to him and dad no were to go so he did not T bone him and put the hand brake on and got it into a spina nd the rear right of the yellow car smacked the drivers side of the green car.

Does anybody have any pictures or videos of it.

James

Jim Cook/jimmer as it ,think he's putting it on youtube at some stage

I know the driver of the green MG,a Marshal when he's not racing

thebullet · 29 May 2007, 17:29 (Ref:1923973)

I noticed i think it was a BMW that hit the tyre wall that the marshals were standing behind and had to wheel spin to get off. Did you see that?

Quarry, what a great corner!!! I've still not sussed it! I've had one off there in the past but managed to save this one in the Production BMW Race - http://www.likeawhippet.com/albums/a...Quarry_2Mb.wmv

I love racing at Castle Combe, what a great track, well run, great staff, great crowds, genuine interest in what we're doing... I love it, can't wait to be back again another year...

DWA · 29 May 2007, 19:15 (Ref:1924049)

Got a selection of pics from yesterday on my website, mostly FFord , but around 40 odd from the saloons and GT's. Access via public profile. Some should also be on the CCRC web reports in a couple of days.

The green Mg spun on the turn in at quarry and Poor old Tony behind him
threw his car into a spin but side to side contact resulted in big damage.
The saloons practice was action packed with the beachgood focus hitting the barrier
