MX150R's @ CASTLE COOMBE

[Stuart Mills]

The organisers hope to have 10 MX150R's on the grid for the meeting on the 15/16th June.
The battle is hotting up!



No short cuts across the field are permitted though!

Too right! I was out at Knockhill... damn that's a long drive from Gloucestershire!
Had a fantastic 3 races. Won race 1, think it must have been a photo finish


Neither myself or the other guy knew who'd won until we came around to Park Ferme
Race 2 and 3 were also very close, but only managed 3rd place in each.



Really looking forward to Combe now with a couple more identical cars to play with it should make for another excellent few races.

And there was me thinking you could not have points awarded when you are a series not a championship..

[DIGGIDY]

Looking forward to this race too, car is on the brink of being completed and ready to race.

If anyone else is interested in an arrive and drive deal, I know someone with a spare MX150R all fueled and ready to race, PM me if your interested.

I find it intriguing that Stuart has edited his original post about point scoring after he let the cat out of the bag... man up Stuart and admit it..

I edited to add a picture showing 6 MX150R's.
Point or "points" being made is that these guys are having a ball in low cost race cars.
No wonder the grids are growing!

I'm in front in that pic as well!!

And less of the negativity roys1! I'm in my second season racing and already won more races in the first 3 outings than all last season.

It was good close racing at Knockhill last weekend, very enjoyable to watch. I wasn't aware there were so many different series for MX5s until I spoke with the series photographer on Sunday.







A few more photos on FB here is anyone is interested: https://www.facebook.com/media/set/?set=a.60635034...

I don't do negative... just stating facts.. if it wasn't as originally stated then the context and meaning would not have been edited and changed.. I wish the series well and I personally like the mx150r Exocet cars.. a full grid of 20 would look awesome.

[TheFreak]

Love that first pic John, the MX150Rs all nice and smooth and carnage from the Mk1s behind!!
Roys1, I know where there's one sat all lonely looking for a driver for Combe if you're interested in joining in the fun?

It was great racing at Knockhill. In race one all four of the MX150's led the race at some point before the chequered flag.

For confirmation we are a series and NOT a Championship so there are no points, other that bragging rights and brownie points. Either way the racing is excellent and a testament to Stuart on the design handling.

Roll on Castle Combe....

Not a shortcut, more avoiding contact through the blind chicane.......

Have you got that boot sorted yet?
And no... I really don't want to roll on Castle Combe. Staying upright is much faster!

We'll be watching from Quarry Corner with the camera ready .....
