Saturday May 15th - A Visit to Middle Barton
Following his excellent talk last year Tony Castle Miller has invited BPMC members to his open day at Middle Barton Garage.
"Middle Barton Garage has catered for both Classic and more modern Italian cars since 1987. We focus on the Alfa Romeo, Fiat and Lancia marques, manufactured after 1955, whilst the Parts operation specialises in spares for all classic Fiats. The cars of Abarth & Co have long been associated with Middle Barton Garage. Our expertise in the marque is unparalleled in the UK, both for Workshop and Parts. Although we get exotica such as Osella's and Abarth TCR's regularly through the workshop - you are just as likely to find a Lancia Integrale, Alfa Romeo 156 or a baby Fiat 500 coming in for an annual service and MOT preparation."

Please give your name to Nick Wood to secure a seat on the bus 01275 833098

Drag Racing for BPMC
RUN WHAT YA BRUNG... Putting YOU in the hot seat.
How many times have you said to yourself 'that looks easy - I could do that!' Well, now here's your chance to find out because Shakespeare County Raceway is giving you a unique opportunity. After each timed run, drivers/riders are presented with a 'Certificate of Speed' giving important information like reaction times and timing data from start to finish.
To compete all you need is a vehicle, a valid driving licence and a crash helmet.
General raceway admission for Public Track Day RWYBs is £12 per person or £22 for a weekend pass. Track fee is £20 per day for unlimited runs.
If you would like to make a weekend of it there are excellent camping facilities and a shower block. We are hoping to have a BBQ on the Saturday night.
