TimNeill Posted November 9, 2009 Share Posted November 9, 2009 Well done to you all - amazingly consistent driving and some great scraps on Saturday. I was marshalling at Paddock Bend (where else?) so had a great view too. My back and arms are killing me today, from sweeping gravel! The Mazdas just couldn't keep out of the stuff, rolling and squealing their way round. But the night race was mad to marshal - could hardly see a thing when cars went off. Had one thorough gravel sand-blasting from an incoming car and learnt very quickly that's why you face away and crouch down until it's stopped. Trouble is, your instinct wants you to watch it!

taffyracer Posted January 29, 2010 Author Share Posted January 29, 2010 a bit more than expected but there is a fair bit of racing and its a great series to be a part of, good vibe and some great racing........prices vary and it's not as straightforward as saying it's £x unfortunately - here C7 YUM Edited by - taffyracer on 29 Jan 2010 20:49:31 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jimmyslr Posted January 31, 2010 Share Posted January 31, 2010 Taffy - I'm racing with a mate, zub on here and other places. We are going for some light support between races and sort of self running. We might do the races alongside our chum Richard chamberlain with his 935 and/or the little Elise. Freestyle/gary helped make the car race legal last year. Dpr or bpr are v handy for me so might try them as they will make the to/froing easier. I expect we'll do 2 or 3 meets as we're racing another car also and we both have young kids and wives who do not have a love of racing!

taffyracer Posted January 31, 2010 Author Share Posted January 31, 2010 Yep it's not cheap but it will be well run and should have provide some decent competiton, its the lure of racing on slicks for longer than 20mins that I want, Jimmy who's BPR?

Pendennis Posted January 31, 2010 Share Posted January 31, 2010 I been racing for 20 mins on slicks for years, that is long enough for me. I must be unfit Last year, I was getting four 13min races with three 15 min qualifying for less than half these costs 😳 Good luck for the year though Want to rent an 18th century Farmhouse in Rural Somerset?

taffyracer Posted April 7, 2010 Author Share Posted April 7, 2010 Jimmy, are you out at Snett? Anyone else? C7 YUM Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jimmyslr Posted April 8, 2010 Share Posted April 8, 2010 Probably not this one in apr, but we will do the next Snett mtg in Jul. We're racing a Juno acouple of times this year so trying to spread the racing out to keep some sort of handle on costs! We are looking for an extra half a second or so in the caterham to catch those csr cars on the fast bits. Hmmm. Will prob fit a tonneau and see if I can lose a few kg. Good luck James Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
taffyracer Posted April 8, 2010 Author Share Posted April 8, 2010 Shame, should be a good weekend, 1st time out since 2008 and 1st outing for the car since rebuild so....... C7 YUM Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

fatcat Posted April 18, 2010 Share Posted April 18, 2010 That's a shame - I enjoyed the Britcar races I did last year. I would do some this year but the budget doesn't stretch to SEMSEC, CSCC and Britcar... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
taffyracer Posted April 19, 2010 Author Share Posted April 19, 2010 Hi Nigel, yep it is, just re-built the car specifically for, paid all my fees and booked flights for the Zolder weekend! ........now will be swapping to M7's now and wouldn't mind another chat at some point, you out at Brands?

fatcat Posted April 20, 2010 Share Posted April 20, 2010 yup, I'm out at Brands - with both semsec and M7's so it will be a busy weekend! Drop me an email if you've got any questions.. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jimmyslr Posted April 21, 2010 Share Posted April 21, 2010 Gents - I'm in similar boat as was due to race at (now cancelled) Snett race in July. What's Mag 7s like? I've seen regs and looks like I can race my car in one of the upper classes, but as it was Class 1 in Britcar no problem. Realistically I'd only do 1 or 2 races this year, most likely 1. However, as the car is in race spec and I've lost a race or two with britcar I might give it a go. How large is the field looking and what's the quality like? Also, it looks like road tyres so I'm guessing everyone is going for the new Avons with almost no tread? Any thoughts gratefully received!
