Lydden Hill Sat 10th July 04
Does anyone know what the grids are like for the meeting this Saturday?
I am desperate to watch some proper motorsport but can't get to Croix. I won't bother with Lydden if the grids are thin.:confused: |

We are expecting a good grid for the SELOC BMW race - they are always spectacular - have you seen images of previous shunts at Lydden on Ten-Tenths?
The race meeting is in the afternoon, following the sprint in the morning. |

I'd expect good sized grids for the SEMSEC Saloons and Sports, also the South East Sports and Saloon Challenge. The Bill Taylor handicap also gets a pretty decent turnout every meeting. Add to that the SELOC loonies and you've got a great meeting lined up - should be a good weekend at Lydden, sprint and SEMSEC on Saturday, Rallycross on Sunday - got to be better than the F1.
I'll be there both days, helping Bill Richards Racing on the Saturday and spectating Sunday. |

Got my entry list and the grids look sizeable (best this year I think).
> can't get to Croix SELOC BMW's are the first race at Lydden (3pm-ish) then it's straight on the ferry to France and racing at Croix on Sunday  Yeehaa!!!However, it is possible the the SELOC guys might show some restraint on Saturday - in an effort to actually make it to France in one piece... |

SELOC Loonies? I resent that - prefer to call it inexperienced!
Oh, and I'm not going to Croix, so no holds barred for me (Car no. 9..., www.tailhappy.com) Last edited by gejl; 8 Jul 2004 at 12:39. |

Falcemob - It's all SEMSEC race categories not BARC so I don't think they're giving you a hint!
And Gejl - welcome to ten-tenths, but I still stand by my 'loonies' comment about you SELOC drivers (that's not a bad thing though  )

Which race will he be in? I don't always get to see that much racing (it depends how much needs doing to Bills cars between practice and the races).
What else is going to be there on the 17th, if I'm not doing anything else I'll come and have a look. |

Hello gejl
I've just been to your site - I love the stills from your on-board camera!! Incidentally, you said in one race report " Sneaked past OK, but that was pair of underpants number one gone. Lucky I'd worn several for this race..." Just thought you should know - the technical term for this is a "Sketchley Moment", I'm sure you can work it out.... To all the SELOC lads - have a good day tomorrow. Sorry I can't wave to you as you flash past - too busy waving the chequer. Stay safe. |

Great meeting today - even the weather managed to hold off for most of it. Plenty of action in all the races today (including the rather bizarre race 5) it was a shame that race was cut short - there was a great battle going on with the front 3 cars (who all later got a 10 second penalty
)Back to Lydden tomorrow for the rallycross

July 17th has Track and Race magazine saloons, southern sports and saloons (full grid of 21 cars)which should see former rallycross stock hatch champ Greg Rose out in a V8 monster, 2CVs, Toyo Saloons, TVRs, Mazda MX5s, single seaters including 6 or 7 ERAs. 12 races in all.

Gnomex - thanks for the website comments. Unfortunately I messed up the recording of last weeks race, which was a shame as I was chasing the leader for a large part of the race...

Greg Rose is most definatly back racing this weekend, alongside his dad John Cross in a matching V8 monster.
On a more serious note Greg Rose has been changing his modified rallycross car, to a circuit car, and will be out soon this summer, with Sean and Derek Holland. Sean will be racing his new pug 205 and in his new Golf GTI. |

Does that mean that John has retired from rallycross as well as Greg? I know the Focus was up for sale but the rumour was that he'd be building a modified car. It's a shame to lose drivers like them from rallycross, Greg was always very spectaclar with the pugs.
I'm guessing that it was you in the RHR 205 at Lydden on Sunday Spangley? Good to see another driver on ten-tenths - it helps put our sometimes lopsided spectator viewpoints in perspective. |

No, John has so many cars he does not know what to play with first.
RHR is busy building cars. Rallycross is still on the agenda, but not this year. 2003 we did a full season as a team, in rallycross and the travelling takes its toll. By the end of the year we were all worn out. So this year is for a bit of fun and staying close to home. |

No, John has to many cars to play with.
RHR is just having a bit of a rest with rallycross this year, 2003 Rallycross season took it out of us a bit with all the travelling. So this year we are staying closer to home. Yes it was me, still getting used to the car, but having a lot of fun. The track was a bit rough though. |

Good to hear that John and the boys haven't given up on rallycross - it must be a great situation to be in trying to work out what to race and where! Spoilt for choice
Glad you're enjoying the rallycrossing - you were certainly getting stuck in! The loose sections at Lydden cut up quite badly at the Easter meeting, there has been a lot of work done on them since then but it still looks like there is a big hole somewhere in the section at paddock - the cars were kicking up quite a bit through there (altough nowhere near as badly as they did at easter). Should be good on Saturday too, sounds like it'll be a great days racing again (Lydden always seems to provide great racing). Last edited by BertMk2; 13 Jul 2004 at 14:12. |

Lydden is a great track. Good to watch and race on. Always runs well. I never heard a bad word about the place.
Come over and say hello on saturday. John is in the Merc V8 and Mazda. Greg is in the V8 Jag. So this should be interesting. Let's hope the don't forget. NO DIRT SECTION!! |
