robmar Posted March 16, 2004 Share Posted March 16, 2004 Good question, personnally I do not know, it is not my favourite sprint circuit  but I suspect it has something to do with some of the following 1. its close proximity to a lot of competitors and people who are/where influential in the club 2. it used to be the only venue for the 1 or 2 l7 sprint events in the year 3. it has become more than a speed event, and is now just as much a social event I do not think it is the glamour of the porta loos 😬 rob Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Silver 21 Posted March 16, 2004 Share Posted March 16, 2004 I tend to agree with Rob, not my favourite venue either as one mistake and your runs over, I personally prefer other venues like MIRA/ Loton etc where there is an opportunity to claw back any 'mistakes' during the run 😬 😬 😬 😬. Advantage of Curborough is that its a great club meet and spectator venue *thumbup*, its turned into more of a social gathering. Graham Competition Secretary 2004 Speed Championship - 9 events Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Graham Perry Posted March 16, 2004 Share Posted March 16, 2004 Isn't there a sign welcoming visitors to the "home of grass roots motorsport" or something similar ? That says it all for me, although like the guys above there are other places I prefer. Edited by - Graham Perry on 16 Mar 2004 11:46:52 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Graeme Smith Posted March 17, 2004 Share Posted March 17, 2004 'Tis my favourite sprint venue - in fact the only sprint venue which really does it for me (hillclimbs are another manner) - great combination of aggression and finesse. Also great for spectating and its free entry! Gutted that I can't make either event this year. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
