Single seater entry is a bit thin on the ground, which for a £100 entry fee (ask nicely and the late fee might be waived!) is a bit disappointing. As far as I know, there is a 15 minute qualifying and two 15 minute races for your money.
Let's get some Jedis, Monos and FFords on the grid. |

What are the regulations? Is it just standard MSA single seater regs or is ride height free, i.e not 40mm

Entry form says "open single seater trophy" - I'm guessing "open" means free/no series regs; as long as it meets Blue Book rules.

If it is a single seater complying with the blue book less than 2500cc, it is eligible. If you're thinking of entering a FRenault you'll have some Club F3 cars to play with.

Well, we have a couple of Club F3 cars this year and also had a couple last year, plus Rossi in the FRenault. AFAIK they were on standard set up for their class with no changes to ride height - but I am not 100 per cent certain.

if anyone wants to rent a Van Diemen Zetec for very cheap money I might bring out the other one or the F4 as well to add to the numbers

Not sure if my memory serves me correctly as I was still suffering from the effects of the tyre wall, Race 1, lap 1, but wasn't Rossi a country mile quicker than all other cars in both races but unfortunately was drawn a rear end grid slot? |

hi all, im sure its a cracking event but to be honest I cant think of a worse thing to do the day after Christmas it means you cant get too drunk or anything. I couldn't even face spectating either, especially as i should be seeing the family, not to mention the cold weather.
Where did the name come from aswell ? Last edited by woodyracing; 21 Dec 2006 at 23:39. |

It is interesting to read ASP's preview of the Plumb pudding meeting on the new www.ff1600news.com website. He asks the question on why you can have 20 caterhams entered and only 4 single seaters. I personally think it is a mixture of 3 things.
1) How many Caterhams need to be rebuilt over the winter like a single seater does? 2) In a caterham you can turn up on your own, start your own car and put your own seat belts on. In a single seater it is not so simple as most people need help with the belts and also someone to take the jump battery out before you move. It is hard enough for most people to get permission from the wife/girlfriend/bit on the side to go racing on Boxing day, never mind having to get a friend to do the same!!! 3) Caterhams season finished a while ago where the FF1600 racers have had the WHT, Festival, Carnival etc so you have to draw the line somewhere. |

I did this meeting a few years ago, I managed to do it as I was about to sell the car, a FF2000 and was in the process of rebuilding my FF1600, otherwise normaly my car is in bits over the winter.
But it was a cracking good meeting, my friends who came along realy enjoyed it and have asked each year since if I am doing it again! |

And that's only two races, there's enough Caterhams to make it worthwhile without considering how many bikes will be there!

Any news?
I did think about going however after a heavy day ploughing through the food and drink it was somewhat later than planned that I emerged from my bed!
So did anyone go? If so what was the entry like and the racing? |
