TVR Power RV8 Charity Rolling Road Shoot Out !

[Bomber Denton]

I received a phonecall from Dom at TVR Power last night and he is keen to set up the Rover V8 rolling road shot out that has been mentioned in an earlier thread, not willing to let an opportunity pass me by I've had a think and come up with this format...

Dom has offered the facilities for a day for free and a £250 cash pot for event so here is what I propose...

There will be three classes, best 4 litre, best 4.3/4.5 and best 5.0/5.0+.

Anyone wishing to compete will be asked to contribute £25, as the facilities are free I propose this fee will go directly to Marie Curie Cancer Care.

Anyone wishing to go on the rollers should email me at [e-mail] you should supply details of your car (model, engine size, engine mods, any other interesting facts) so that laminated sheets can be made up to place on your dash when the car is parked up to give people an idea of your motor.

The cash prize will be split as follows..

Best performer 4.0 - £50.00
Best performer 4.3/4,5 - £50.00
Best performer 5.0/+ - £50.00
Highest output of day - £50.00
Attendees choice of favourite car - £50.00

As I should have all the details of cars attending in advance they will all be all be entered onto a ballot paper and all people in attendance will have the chance to vote for their favourite car for whatever reason they wish.

I have put this to Dom and he is up for it and will even supply refreshments on the day.

Rules - only rules are that it has to be a Rover V8 based unit in a road legal TVR, that's it!

Anyone attending but not competing will be politely asked to contribute £5 for a parking pass that will go into the Marie Curie pot, the total will be broken down, listed on here and the receipt posted up on this thread.

I am looking at Saturday August 2nd?

Up for it?

It's all for charidee mate! :thumpup:

Corin

I am up for it, will drop you an email :-)

Should be a fun day, are you going to sort out a hotel for those coming a long distance and then maybe we could all have some beers afterwards. :-)

Hi Corin,

As I started the thread which led to this I'd better put up too - maybe I'll have to get the MA chip sooner than planned

I agree with Chris and afterwards would be nice too.

Well done for organising - hope you didn't have to fluff Dom too much to get his hand in his pocket!!!! Ian

Assuming my little V8S survives the racing , and it doesn't clash with a race weekend I would love to join in aswell.

[Zippee]

Hiya Corin. I'd certainly be up for this - totally standard (engine wise) 400!
I'll mail you my details in the next day or so!

I've had a quick look and I hope the date doesn't clash with upcoming calendars, I agree with Chris, a local hotel would be good especially as I am three hours away from TVR Power!

Just an added note, I have had a few emails, can people supply reg no, model etc.

Ta,

Corin

[Cat01]

Wouldn't mind getting mine on the rollers - pretty standard 400! I think...

And being so local it would be rude not to!

Beers/wine sounds good too!

[dnb]

Assuming I'm in the country then I'll have a go. (As long as Pasco isn't running )

[CRE]

Depending on dates, I will be up for bringing something along to it...not in the least bit worried about Pasco turning up!

[Bomber Denton]

It looks like there will be twenty places available on the rollers, we kick off at 9a.m.

Could someone local possibly do a bit of investigating reference the hotel etc?? I will leave Devon at about 5.30am on the Saturday but it would be rude not to stay over and have a few shandies.

[itsallyellow]

Has dom got 4 wheel drive rollers??

[cmr2payne]

Corin Im local, do you know how many people would be staying yet and i will investigate a hotel

Corin, not sure I'll be able to make it but as you say, it is for charity so why have a prize fund. Just do some certificates (or very cheep awards) and donate the £250 to charity too? I'm sure it will be a good day (and night if people stay for a drink) and a bit of fun but I would have thought that most people will attend solely to see what their car 'will do' on the rollers for a bargain price of £25 rather than have the aim of winning a prize.
Just my opinion.....
