Curborough Sprint Meet 18/3/07

[Fort Jefferson]

Anyone want to meet at Curborough Sprint on Sunday? There is plenty of room to park and there is a sprint on, so we will have something to watch, it's near Lichfield. I normally get there between 12 and 1pm. See here

UPDATE.

Because it's a none championship day, the sprinting will start at 9am and go on all day apart from a break for the marshals at about lunch time.

I want to sprint my supercharged MX5, but am being frustrated by a ruling in the blue book which says: "L 11.5.1. Roadgoing Production Cars - ... Induction is free... forced induction equivalency applies (1.4 x engine cc) but it must remain in the same capacity class as the original car..." What the hell does that mean? How can a car with forced induction compete in the same class as cars without forced induction?

So far nobody has been able to give me a solid answer, not even (up to yet) the MSA. I've got the licence, I've joined the club (Notts Sports Car Club), registered for the championship, entered my first event (Three Sisters)and been accepted, but... I'm shit scared of paying a ninety quid entry fee and then failing scrutineering. (Its the embarrasment more than the cost).

Notts SCC has said they're happy for me to compete in their championship, but I know they can't speak for the individual scrutineers at the different venues. NSCC classes are different from the MSA. The Midland Speed Championship runs to the same rules as NSCC, so that participants can compete in the 2 championships. Notts will let me run in theirs, Midland won't.

I'm now at the stage where I'm reluctant to buy a roll-over bar and hat and suit, in fear of spending all that dough for nowt. I think I might cancel my first entry, and wait until I do get a definite answer.

Very, very, very frustrating.

Can't come Sunday btw. Mothers day.

Working at night, but as its only 30 miles away i may just pop along to this.

If I can make it, yes, but I have a fair bit of work to do over the weekend, so 50/50 show/no show at the mo'.

From the catering van, down to the paddock. Some of the tailers may have to stay by the toilets?
