im going on sunday and was wondering if anyone had any good info on it? preview articles etc, and if so site links or names of magazines please

zefarelly · 26 Aug 2004, 08:26 (Ref:1077737)

all I've seen are reviews in motorsport and a few other magaxines, and my entry forms, we'll be there racing on Monday and I can't wait

Speedy norm · 26 Aug 2004, 09:24 (Ref:1077787)

Well I will be there on Sunday Any other ten tenthers meeting up. Nice to put faces to names- Just a humble spectator role for me I am afraid. No, make that a frustrated spectator on the outside looking in. So if anyone needs a hand get in touch. I would like to get meore involved again
Use to marshal, fairly competant with spanners - built a Westfield a few years ago so drop me a pm if interested.
Looking forward to group 4 and saloons

I will be at Oulton on Sat and Sunday morning but can't watch my Uncle walk the Classic F3 race as I am at Bolton v's Liverpool.....

KayBee · 26 Aug 2004, 20:10 (Ref:1078463)

I'm looking forward to the Group4 racing - does it mean that they race prison/security vans and either money or prisoners try to escape whilst they're racing/qualifying?

**Asp** · 26 Aug 2004, 20:37 (Ref:1078498)

Money trying to escape? Near me please

I'll be there from Friday night until Monday anyway, and looking forward to it

bluebeard · 26 Aug 2004, 21:59 (Ref:1078585)

yer know Chris , i looked everywhere on TV at Horwich Villas ground and couldnt see you anywhere!! I couldnt find your Uncle on the podium at Oulton either, i take it he took the HSCC'S "advice" LOL

Redracer77 · 30 Aug 2004, 22:19 (Ref:1081936)

Hi Dave,

Bolton game was a bit poor but the right result. Diz was the first person to call...would have thought he would hide not call!!

Rob had a big problem with his chassis this weekend. Tried to have a bracket made to sort it but couldn't get it to fit so had to make do. I have not spoken to him but my gran tells me he was ****ed off with 4th.

Next time he should be more organised.

Everton fans are always bitter.... you will soon be playing tranmere again...

diz · 30 Aug 2004, 22:28 (Ref:1081940)

Very off the original topic, but relevant to the last couple of posts. [Also sorry Mr Sowman]
Everton have just received a bid of £35 million for Wayne Rooney - not from either Man U or Newcastle. Apparently the new third bidder is Michael Jackson.
Gets coat and heads off to bed.

simon drabble · 31 Aug 2004, 11:32 (Ref:1082549)

sadly I didnt go but stories filtering back involve a very slippery Jaguar leaving oil slicks for everyone else in the HRSR Saloon race - what happened in the BRDC round and the Gp 4 race?

zefarelly · 31 Aug 2004, 11:52 (Ref:1082572)

Mission accomplished for us, 6th signature in the bag, despite a few very hairy moments on the oforementioned oil slicks, IT does happen, and to an extent its unavoidable, but a whole laps worth is downright negligent and dangerous, I can think of at least 10 peopl in one race who had offs (me included) luckily no major damage was caused and no one was hurt.
