E1. Racing Cars up to 1100cc
E2. Racing Cars over 1100cc up to 1600cc
E3. Racing Cars over 1600cc up to 2000cc
E4. Racing Cars over 2000cc

I will double check with Bruce and Dick and confirm this is how it should be - I think it is just a typo in the regs. If you send your entry in I believe Bruce will sort in the entry list and correct in the finals.

I was wondering whether there is a class missing in the SR's for the Wessex Sprint?

The racing car classes don't seem to have a capacity for between 1100 and 1600cc?

E1. Racing Cars up to 1100cc
E2. Racing Cars over 1600cc up to 2000cc
E3. Racing Cars over 2000cc

I'd like to enter my 1400cc Force - I guess it should go in E2?

Cheers

I am appealing to you and asking you & BPMC members to sign my online
petition!

**Forward this to everyone you know!**
(I need 500 signatures for the government to listen!)

Having just had a letter, and demand from the DVLA for £20.00
to "Update my picture" I feel this is an outrageous "Stealth charge"
by the DVLA/Government that should be scrapped!
(DVLA CHOOSE when this is required, and WE are expected to pay!)

If you to have recieved this demand, please help me to petition
to get it stopped!

The DVLA will tell you, you MUST pay this or your license will be
invalid, and you ARE BREAKING THE LAW!

I feel people on low incomes, the elderly, disabled, unemployed
simply will NOT be able to find the extra money and lose thier
license and independence?

I can see that SOME peoples features MAY alter after accidents,
cosmetic surgery etc, and that as the license is used as a form of ID
picture updates MAY be required as a person ages etc,
I DO NOT agree that WE should have to pay £20.00 (+ £5.00 booth fee?) to
have this done, and it SHOULD BE INCLUDED in the DVLA services
as we all pay a a fee to obtain a license in the first place!

[www.ipetitions.com]

**PLEASE SIGN THE PETITION**

**DO NOT DONATE £ AFTER SIGNING! AS THIS DOES NOT GO TO
THE CAUSE OR MY CHARITY,BUT TO THE WEB HOSTERS!**

Thank you.

Unfortunately we received notification from the MOD last week that Colerne would not be available. The summary of the situation is that they are having work done on the Tarmac, and the contractor has advised them that the life of the type of surface being used would be much shorter if used for motorsport rather than as taxi ways etc.

Our events of course have less impact than some of the other activities that Colerne is used for, but this is a blanket ban on motorsport and affects everything at Colerne not just us.

We are continuing to investigate alternative venues, and everything possible is being done to offer alternatives for next year - of course Colerne is a very hard act to follow. I'll try to get something put up on the front page of the website so there is an official statement in an easier to find place - of course there will be more info in Backfire next month as well.

I just had the ASWMC dates through and noticed that the Colerne sprints were missing from the championship, are we not allowed to use the venue anymore? :(

Looking at the calendar it looks like we can only do 2 events next season as all the rest clash with our race series :( We'll have to look around for other events to do which is a shame, the first time in 9 years that we won't be doing the championship.

bye for now

It got us home ok without having to stop.

When we got the radiator out and took off the fan, the circlip holding the plastic blades to the motor had dropped off and the rotating blades moved forward and wore a hole in the radiator!!

The spare radiator and fan I had is now on and Sam got back to Newbury without problems.

Once again thanks for your help.

Comes with either windscreen and full weather gear, or aeroscreen, tonneau and sticky yokohamma tyres. Still has a boot box fitted, so quite practical (as ever a westfield can be) to use on the road. Makes a very competative sprint car in the under 1700cc road going kit car class.

I have had loads of fun with this over the many years and it has been extensively upgraded to high spec to a good level of engineering, running on Omex engine management with throtle bodies and many SBD components, fully adjustable suspension, close ratio gearbox and Quaiffe ATB LSD. Light weight racing seats, 4 point harness, quick rack, aluminium protek shocks, the list goes on!

Curently on pistonheads http://www.pistonheads.com/sales/2124374.htmso you can see some photos. New orange body fitted 2 years ago, some chips to the nose cone, but all looks really smart.

offers around £8250. contact steveinoxford "at" ntlworld.com

Removed from a Sierra Estate car approx 3 years ago and has been sat in the garage ever since, I had intended to fit in the Marlin but never got around to it.

It is complete with carb and manifolds.

It was running prior to removal, but it has been stood for 3 years so it may need a bit of attention.

There are cheaper test track days by the way - our Combe day is £123, but is sold out - you could also look at some of the motorsport events airfield track days - sometimes go as low as about £79 out of the main season.

We also just went to Shakespear County Raceway - good chance to do a timed 1/4 mile on the drag strip - their "run what you brung" days are £20 per day for as many runs as you can get in, plus it will cost about £15 to get in.]]> andymoss GeneralWed, 21 Jul 2010 06:44:12 +0100 http://www.bristolpegasus.com/forums/read.php?2,68,68#msg-68 http://www.bristolpegasus.com/forums/read.php?2,68,68#msg-68
About 14 years ago I bought a new(-ish) Audi A4 1.8 T-Sport; after a couple of years on loan I now have it back and it is still an absolutely brilliant car to drive, but it has no resale value (we-buy-any-car value it at £275).

Maybe it's my age (or what I remember paying for it in 1996 :) ) but I can't give it away and I remember seeing something on top gear about track days and low-grade competing. Where can I do this? I've found places like Castle Coombe but that's £170 plus petrol and that's nearly as much as my car is worth!

Surely there is something I can do that is a laugh and quick (OK, I first said "fast", but I really mean "quick-ish"....and vaguely competitive) where I don't have to buy into anything so expensive? There was a top gear "endurance" run in a field that looks just the kind of thing (except for the tractor).

Is there any life for old [fast] cars?
