[tqadam]

Hi
Its nearly the end of hibernation for me now the days are getting longer!

Is anyone going, or signed up for entry, to the sprint at Castle Combe this year?

Only curious as i may come up to watch/ get a few piccies

[scoobygaz1]

Are you on about the Mlr sprint series?

[tqadam]

No, the great western sprint.

It's ok, doesn't look like many are going and I'm now currently signed off work so doubt i will be going now

[D_G]

It's a full entry, 20% over subscribed. Shame you are ill Adam, maybe see you up there.

[tqadam]

Is there an entry list floating round anywhere?

Hopefully see you up there!

I am competing in the MX5 class. Looking forward to my first sprint of the year. Hope the weather stays dry!!

[tqadam]

I very much doubt i will be going now

Anyway on the upside, an entry list has appeared!

I'll be competing in my Clio 172 Cup. Can't wait to get back on track.

Weather's looking pretty good for Saturday at the moment, might pop along and have a look round.

Good luck to all those involved today!

I went and watched for the morning, which also gave me an opportunity to give the kitcar a good run out in the sun. There were quite a few stoppages, fortunately the majority were just breakdowns/spins.

Great day, I've never seen so many long stoppages at an event. We had a major off, oil slick, fire as well as numerous breakdowns. Oh and not forgetting the single seater having a spin at 160 mph when the rear wing failed...lucky boy.

Thanks to the organisers and especially the marshals who stuck with it on what was a very long day.

I love Combe!

Me too! Love the track there. Best I've managed yet though is 123mph over Avon Rise.

Well when you do get on to the KitNet.uk forum, say hi! My handle on there is different but either way everyone on there will know who you mean, you will be very welcome though it may go against you knowing me!!
