Who is in for Brands Hatch GP? should be a blast!!

graham bahr · 20 Mar 2006, 19:13 (Ref:1555135)

i will be as long as we can get enough fuel in the engine and i dont break it testing beforehand

Al Weyman · 20 Mar 2006, 19:46 (Ref:1555153)

I've entered my black car (Camaro Z/28 IROC) in class B, thats a definite (as can be) because it is sitting here on the button ready to rumble!

andypipe · 20 Mar 2006, 20:30 (Ref:1555196)

Just waiting for my entry confirmation

Paceracing · 20 Mar 2006, 22:10 (Ref:1555283)

Entry is in, just waiting for confirmation now.

Completed the first test at Snetterton last week and broke my old lap record, (FL 1m22.20 sec and consistently in the 1m22's throughout the day with a 5-10mph headwind on Revett Straight) so i'm pretty happy that things are going in the right direction at last! My goal is to get the Fiesta into the 1m21's.

Brands should be good. I think we will all be on it!

I should be there in the Ashtray (took entry in by hand to BRSCC) if I get the new management up and running.(Class C)

Cousin has entered ( Class C) in my old Fiesta

Brothers Tomcat won't be ready for the first round.(Class B)

Assuming that I pass my medical on wednesday p.m.

Blimey Allan you are cutting it fine, I sent my licence application in and they recieved it on the 14th and I phoned them yesterday before entering a CTRCC pre-73 Historics round at Snett on the 2nd April and they recon they will be posting it out on the 28th March, all a bit tight for me I like things planned in advance.

Al Weyman · 21 Mar 2006, 08:23 (Ref:1555508)

With reference to Rod's answer to another post on clutchs but not wishing to Highjack, are they rolling starts at the Brands GP round?

I might have to pay the extra to get it turned around quickly - too much on at the moment - Sold house last week, wife should be coming out of hospital today (nothing too serious) and car to finish - should have done more over the winter !

Al Weyman · 21 Mar 2006, 09:55 (Ref:1555573)

I have a nice pair of lightweight Astra brake mounting brackets going begging if you want them Alan (I think it was you who runs an Astra is'nt it?) or if anyone else want them just buy me a coffee or something to cover postage. .

Rod Birley · 21 Mar 2006, 10:33 (Ref:1555600)

Yes Brands is a rolling start. 42 entries. List should be published soon. All the usual suspects have entered, including the guys above. The only notable ommision at this stage is Richard Brent. The list will be on my website soon, followed by the BRSCC site.

Al Weyman · 21 Mar 2006, 10:38 (Ref:1555606)

Wow great, I am really looking forward to this.

graham bahr · 21 Mar 2006, 10:58 (Ref:1555618)

richard will on holiday, i dont think he could twist his wifes arm enough to break off a holiday early two years running, still it will make it even more exciting silverstone onwards as we see him try to catch mad dog up in the points battle

chezza · 21 Mar 2006, 11:17 (Ref:1555632)

Phew...Thanks for that info Graham! I was just having a panic incase he'd sent it to me and I hadn't forwarded it on or it had got lost in the post!

I'm looking forward to Brands. It seems to have been a long winter.

graham bahr · 21 Mar 2006, 11:30 (Ref:1555637)

yeah its looking good, so good infact i might have to pull my entry so i can watch!

only joking

Al Weyman · 21 Mar 2006, 14:06 (Ref:1555774)

Don't tempt fate Graham

Al.
Could be interested - I'll have a chat at Brands on the 15th. Managed to fire up the Astra between Hospital visits this afternoon - pops and bangs a bit, but filter was not fitted, and a couple of sensors still to connect.

Al Weyman · 21 Mar 2006, 19:05 (Ref:1555953)

I'll try to remember to bring them with me, they are a nice piece(s) too good to bin.

Eric Falce · 22 Mar 2006, 06:15 (Ref:1557005)

Might be tempted to enter my second race in fourty years, will try not to spin inpractice and the race this time, be nice to see all the familiar smilling faces again though.

Suze · 22 Mar 2006, 07:27 (Ref:1557036)

I'm going, good way to spend a weekend....looking forward to it too!

Seem so, did bloody well though,came first in my class in both races and got down to the 57 sec, wait till I get a few races under my belt.did tell them that at my age it was the rush for the loo that I needed.

graham bahr · 22 Mar 2006, 10:03 (Ref:1557435)

still confussed eric did you mean your 2nd race at brands?

Al Weyman · 22 Mar 2006, 14:18 (Ref:1557481)

Its an age thing Graham, you don't understand.

R59 · 22 Mar 2006, 20:05 (Ref:1557716)

I'm also waiting confirmation.

New oil tank fitted, doesn't appear to blow a drop out of the breather after holding it at 5500rpm for 20 seconds. But what it does, is leak like a sieve out of the back of the inlet manifold. I just hope I don't have to strip off the inlet because that means a new gasket, and that'll have to come from the 'states. Let alone have to take the engine out. Darnit!

At least my new gearbox should be here in time for Brands.

Rob.
