Cadwell Park HSCC

Kylegibson · 8 Apr 2013, 16:34 (Ref:3231005)

20 -21 April HSCC timetable here 2 busy days I think

David Owen · 8 Apr 2013, 18:24 (Ref:3231050)

Indeed ambitious, but at Cadwell probably well achievable.

More volunteers would make it better (as they always do)

Joyce George · 8 Apr 2013, 18:30 (Ref:3231053)

Please can you add us for both days? Always enjoy the HSCC!

NotLordPercy · 8 Apr 2013, 18:39 (Ref:3231056)

After a terrific two days at Thruxton ( Easter and arctic conditions) with HSCC and plenty of wonderful cars , the versatile Southern Softies are yet again venturing north ! Istanbul restaurant already booked ( with extra Delight) . Oh yes, and the little brown baron is also coming with extra sausages........
I'm sure it will be a little warmer....but please a little drier than last year!

See you soon ,David.

NotLordPercy · 9 Apr 2013, 16:13 (Ref:3231570)

But you may need some gentlemans relish to get the full experience of these rather exotic flavours!
And quails eggs of course......

I already had!

Hats and boots may be required for you and Brian if you take my meaning but I won't know until the event

I'm venturing north to Cadwell for my first visit after a 45 year absence, I'll wager it has little changed.

Probably more than you would believe. The barn and cottage have gone, barn corner has been re=profiled, the pit-lane widened and a nice pit-wall built, medical centre has changed, so have the control tower, clubhouse and commentator's box. Then the bridge at Hall bends has gone and the run off areas there and elsewhere widened (though no gravel traps thank goodness). There is a new bridge but on 1st April when we were last there it wasn't yet open.

There is probably a lot more I have missed, but the main thing is the marshals and everyone else are just as friendly and welcoming as ever.

Welcome back - I hope you enjoy your visit.

Still a bloody brilliant circuit, great people, would not miss it for the world.....

Some old photos from the 60's

Thanks for these evocative photos. Happy days pre the very sensible Health and Safety rules,regulations and strictures.....

At least the barn door was left open! But among all our circuits, I think Cadwell retains its atmosphere more than most. To flag at Hall Bends or post 5 is still an experience to savour where pure pleasure is combined with sphincter tightening anticipation!
And you just know that drivers see you and rely on you.....a huge bonus these days!

So far the sympathetic improvements by MSVR have been good news at Cadwell ( except for the post at Gooseneck Out) .
Only a week or so to go now........

ron1902 · 10 Apr 2013, 07:55 (Ref:3231854)

started marshaling at cadwell about 3 years ago. i think its a great circuit.i have also done croft and dony but cadwell is where my heart is.(thought i felt unwell

)

'where pure pleasure is combined with sphincter tightening anticipation!'

You are talking about those sausages again.....

ron1902 · 10 Apr 2013, 08:16 (Ref:3231862)

YORKSHIRE QUISINE

NotLordPercy · 10 Apr 2013, 13:24 (Ref:3231988)

Now don't forget those hungry souls in RC or we may just have to re-arrange the allocations......

NotLordPercy · 10 Apr 2013, 20:04 (Ref:3232171)

If we have surplus sausages from brekka, RC will be our first priority of course! Beef or pork or chicken?
