Easy way - print the forms from the main website and hand it in on the day with your money, or make a deposit into the club's account and fax it to the administrators!

We have limited the entry forms to 100 and have numbered them. That way we can keep track of numbers! If we did put it up and you didn't pitch, then we would have a problem. We are working on and easier way for entries but that will only be in place later on.

Does point 17.2 mean we don't have to wear long shirt sleeves - yay! I thought I was gonna be a baked monkey again!

I got a racing overall, can I come with my shorts and vest and wear the overall with a helmet when I go on track? I cant see myself with long pants and shirt in this heat we having.

Also, are you guys dividing the thing in classes? Is there a prize for the class winners?

was fun as usual. Was my slowest ever run around there. 186 km/h and is still can't find the bump that is supposed to be a problem. Anyway thanks for everybody that didn't pitch as it meant that I got a 3rd place trophy for my slow run :-) anyway
Thanks committee for organising :-)

Agreed. Especially on the so-called bump. Nowhere to be found, even at 220.

Great day out, thanks to the committee for your time and effort.

Pity that the wind was blowing at gale force.

Thanks Shaun for organising Mocchacios (spelling :? ) for chow, it was not cheap, but at least the quality was good.

Congrats to Robert GP and Rabbit 16V for posting the joint top speeds for the day.

As Robert said - If you do this event and post a high speed, you might be left with two sets of tonsils. :D

Had an awesome time

Started off **** scared to run my car. After some convincing later on that day when the cars started going on their second runs, I decided I might as well try. Was lotsa fun. Nowhere nearly as scary as it was made out to be. Had to go for a birthday luncheon so sadly couldnt run again, but was pretty happy with my 202 :D

Also didnt notice any bump :?
