After the success of the BBWF, how about a mini wedge fest at the season final of the TVRCC challenge?

Oulton park is a great track and the racing should be fun. im sure we could organise somthing with tickets and maybe food ect if anyone is up for it.

a good idea or not ?

I used to race and marshal there (when Knicker Brook was one of the most demanding corners on UK circuits, and the banked hairpin was called Esso). Held a lap record for many years ... 128.714 ... mpG - in a Fiat 500 (two up and averaging between 35 and 45mph around the full circuit).

I'd love to come, but, as ever, will need to see what SWMBO has already planned

aint this how the BBWF started just from a forum message , with no help at all from the TVRCC ,its just that i have my subscription renewal form to fill in and send off butwas thinking what do i really get out of the club (monthly mag which wont do articles to help us to keep the cars on the road in case it goes wrong) ,i cant make most of the club meets cos of my shift work and if i go they just stand around looking at each others cars which look the same each month. and what could ido for the club ,not alot cos of work restrictions, so it was nice to see an event setup by pistonheaders for wedge owners, even though i could not get there cos i had stipped out the car again to do the carpets properly this time( so my own fault)anyway i prefer to go out for a long drive than stand around but if there was to be another wedge fest i would try and go, if i'm off that day......ian

Hi Graham

First off it was good to meet you at BBWF and stay up to have a with you...

Would love to see you again at Oulton Park, but it's a bit too far away from me and I'm not sure what I'm doing work wise yet. However I will try my very best to see you at Brands Hatch on the 7th August.

I've got some Chinese visitors (business), so will probably be showing them tower Bridge and Houses of Parliament. I don't think they understand fast cars in China - they only have VW Santanas.

Oulton Park is a great venue. I'm sure you'll all have a great time.

Count me in. Hopefully the Tasmin Turbo should be back on the road by then. Couldn't make the BBWF as I had already booked a family weekend in the lakes. Looks like I will be OK for this and Oulton is only an hour away. Anyone planning on staying over......if it's an option?

SEVANS, it would be great to see your turbo tas I bet it put the Turbo install in some of the racers to shame...
