Spa 6 Hours but really "Five" Hours 2007 merged

simon drabble · 17 Apr 2007, 09:05 (Ref:1893655)

As I have just recieved the invitation email from Redwater I would like to declare the Spa 2007 thread open!! Who is up for the 6 Hour race?

esper · 17 Apr 2007, 09:08 (Ref:1893659)

ofcourse

zefarelly · 17 Apr 2007, 11:11 (Ref:1893741)

I'm up for it . . . .not sure my Bank manager is though!

I've already planned events this year, if your going to do it its all you can commit to for the year with the particular car IMO

next year is my target . . . . .

GORDON STREETER · 17 Apr 2007, 13:04 (Ref:1893828)

I would love to but I don't have a car eligible. Also I don't know if I could eat all those carrots !

zefarelly · 17 Apr 2007, 13:06 (Ref:1893830)

I've already got Gordon on a retainer for next year

my cars eligible, and has a reading glasses holder

terence · 17 Apr 2007, 16:56 (Ref:1893976)

I,ll give it some thought !Yeah ,count me in

daj · 17 Apr 2007, 20:12 (Ref:1894190)

Just being nosy, I have supported cars at the Six hours a couple of times now and have always really enjoyed it. two questions. How much is an entry? and how hard is it to get an entry?

Best regards

pre 65 car with fia and 1650 sterling under the wipers............and its worth it!!!!

daj · 17 Apr 2007, 20:36 (Ref:1894217)

is it always pre-65? There are always BMW 2002`s in it?

rogerwills · 18 Apr 2007, 04:40 (Ref:1894406)

I've sent off my entry for the Corvette already! Can't wait!

**Peter Mallett** · 18 Apr 2007, 06:07 (Ref:1894419)

Once again entered for the Top Hat support and when Barry gets his act together I'll enter his race too (if he's got a slot this year).

zefarelly · 18 Apr 2007, 06:39 (Ref:1894426)

I've entered the U2TC race, I believe Roger has also, for me its the best weekend of the year.

Are you going to run 10" slicks and a 7L V8 for Barries Race Peter ? Keep up with the Rods, and away from the Elises!

**Peter Mallett** · 18 Apr 2007, 06:57 (Ref:1894438)

Nope. I'll just not try to pass the Elises this year.

Off topic comment alert
I have to type this or my brain will explode!

It seems that the Group 2 cars in the 70's series may be running slicks next year. If so I hope we can too seeing as its in period.

Thanks for reading, you've been a wonderful audience. Don't forget to try the veal and tip your waitress. We now return you to the topic

there is an invitation class for 66-71. As Zef says - it is the ultimate petrolhead boy's weekend. I am looking forward to it already.
After the disappointment of last years race I think we have a good chance this year (so long as Spa has restocked its fuel pumps, I dread to think how much the Corvette is going to use over 6 hours!!!). Large tracts of the forest will be replanted to recoup the carbon footprint!!!

terence · 18 Apr 2007, 07:09 (Ref:1894444)

There is good news and bad news Peter,The good news -Barry does have a slot,the bad news-there are 15 Elise,s entered

We used to recon on 80ltrs per hour when we ran the Griff,s. Me,in the "B" should have 90ltrs for 3hrs

I'd better qualify higher up the grid then.

terence · 19 Apr 2007, 16:13 (Ref:1895589)

You remember we were wondering where the Chip Stall would be sighted at the New Bus Stop,well I think that with just a small amount of alteration Peter,you,re new trailer-------

Jeremy Hall · 19 Apr 2007, 16:24 (Ref:1895600)

Does anyone want me to come ?
Or only Judith?

terence · 19 Apr 2007, 17:01 (Ref:1895623)

Now you come to mention it Jeremy,ohh,,alright ,, but you must promise to behave.!!!

We know that Judith will ,as always.

zefarelly · 19 Apr 2007, 18:37 (Ref:1895699)

LAk reckons a litre a minute in the Falcon . . .I reckon 35 an hour in the GT, maybe nearer 40 at Spa . . .its not Silverstone Flat !!!

terence · 19 Apr 2007, 18:47 (Ref:1895709)

zefarelly · 20 Apr 2007, 12:05 (Ref:1896229)

LAKs car is relatively relaxed (and legal!) compared to many V8's out there
