I will be there this year doing photos again, along with many other togs!

Ian Sowman · 2 Dec 2011, 19:11 (Ref:2994518)

Only ten days to get your form in to get your practice and two races for £100 - after 12 December there is a late charge. Form is at tinyurl.com/plumpud2011 - the sooner you get it in, the further up the grid you will be.

Already looking like a great entry. Not only do we have Joss on his Monaro, there are Fiestas, Minis, MX5s, MR2s, Caterhams... a really good mix of cars.

Stuart H · 3 Dec 2011, 06:27 (Ref:2994671)

I'm not going to be there again this year!! :'(

HornetVtwin · 4 Dec 2011, 11:10 (Ref:2995022)

Hi Ian

I will be there with the Fletcher Hornet Mk4 (what other manufacturer can say they will have 40% of their production run in the race - LOL).

Just been in the workshop changing the numbers over and putting fairy lights round the roll hoop

MSA-approved fairy lights?

The Fat Clerk · 8 Dec 2011, 09:06 (Ref:2996893)

There are still places available for 'The Best Meeting of the year'
1 practice and 2 races for £100 where can you get cheaper racing than that?

Contact Noreen Ward on 01455 824494, you know it makes sense!

Facebook event page above, for those who use it.

Cars qualify at 10am and race at 12.30pm and 2.30pm (two races each time). Bikes will have their sessions in between - not usually any track action before 10am, though.

According to the Officials' Instructions the first practice session starts at 9:30.

snowen250 · 20 Dec 2011, 16:17 (Ref:3002298)

Smaller saloon field then usual, hopefully it will bulk out. But should be an epic battle at the front between williamson and Joss!]

the sportscars look good as ever.

Simon

Ian Sowman · 20 Dec 2011, 20:08 (Ref:3002400)

So it does, Dave.

HornetVtwin · 22 Dec 2011, 15:18 (Ref:3003227)

Does anyone know if you can get access to the paddock the previous night (as per a normal event)? Tried phoning the office but no reply.

Weather is lookinga bit better for this year

Hi Billy

I must say I'm really rather impressed ! How have you persuaded the faimly to allow you to escape the evenings entertainments and bugger off to Mallory early !

My other half said to me when I told her I was racing boxing day
"why don't you bloody race Christmas day as well " alas I don't think she meant it!

Ian

joss Ronchetti · 23 Dec 2011, 19:32 (Ref:3003671)

Unfourtunately I have had to withdraw my Holden from the races due to unforseen technical issues. My Sunbeam Lotus is also not race ready as the hours are up for a rebuild, and I gave her a little 'Buzz' @ Oulton in the last race & can't take the risk of damaging the motor :0(
Hope you all have a great time, Suzy has said I have no excuse now and must stay home for family duties as she knows full well I will be back at Plum Pudding 2012

HornetVtwin · 24 Dec 2011, 00:11 (Ref:3003756)

Hi Ian

I had filled the entry form out, but it was the missus who posted it, not sure how much trouble I am in

See you Monday

JamieStewart9 · 24 Dec 2011, 15:28 (Ref:3003936)

If you are coming over on Christmas Evening (25th December), feel free to knock on my office door - Thundersport House, on the left directly opposite the Coach House and I will get someone to let you into the paddock. Not too late please.

Paddock Security will be manning the Main Gate from 6.00am on Boxing Day morning for Monday arrivals.

You will be able to park up and plug in to the power in the main paddock. Please be aware that Mallory Park is now very noise sensitive and loud music will cause problems with our neighbours, so please be sensible with the volume controls...

Any issues and you can contact us on 01455 842600 (Thundersport GB)

I hope that helps. We're looking forward to working with the BARC on this event.

Dave

HornetVtwin · 24 Dec 2011, 19:03 (Ref:3003987)

Thanks very much for the kind gesture, if Im not too late I will give you a knock, otherwise will camp outside till morning

ascarracinguk · 24 Dec 2011, 19:55 (Ref:3004000)

Anyone any idea what the bike grids are like??

Copperbottom · 26 Dec 2011, 20:53 (Ref:3004351)

Are there any results anywhere?

Dave Goddard · 26 Dec 2011, 21:36 (Ref:3004358)

Nick Williamson's EuroSaloons Escort won both Saloon races, Phil House (BMW Mini), Andrew Thompson (SEAT) and Russell Hird (MG ZR) his main pursuers. Andy Cummings (Radical) blitzed the Sportscars.

HornetVtwin · 26 Dec 2011, 21:55 (Ref:3004366)

Great way to spend a winters day

Many thanks to the organisers, marshals and especially to whoever organised the weather

Good work with the Hornet Mk2 Ian, nice replacement bonet bulge, oil venting sorted, wiring gremlins exorcised and good result in race 2. See you in the 2012 RAFMSA Race Challenge
