30 friends , but Iv'e only got three and two of them don't like to own up to it in public.I'd be really supprised if the guy's who raced this year won't turn up next ,so that shortens the to find list some.

Count on me being there.

If there is a potential date conflict we need to know so that John can plan the series dates around it.

Also G, if it is a goer Autosport would be a good time to start promoting it. That way we can get others to plan their season around it. I know when I was handing out leaflets I got a few maybes but a lot had already planned budgets and conflicting dates.

Yeah hoping to get something sorted in outline for next month, just need to sort. Few things with msa first.

Talking to a few other series as well about making it part of their season.


If it comes off the date will be 14th October, that's the date of the racing festival and that's been set in stone

It struck me while there that it was unusual that there weren't any of them buzzy Caterham things around in the race, they would seem to fit the philosophy quite well and given enough numbers could even have a class(es) of their own. It's quite likely of course that they are amongst the race series you refer to above but there are several different series that you could approach. Drop me an e mail if I can help put you in touch with any of them as I have a foot in their camp.

Yeah the cater fields were a bit of a disappointment, we had 4 entered but they all dropped out, and I had a call from a group of 6 others but they dropped off the radar.

Anyone wit any contacts with other series we can follow up would be great, one advantage of having the date already is championship dates can be built around it

Hi Martin,I spoke to graham at oulton this weekend about getting into Marcos club, do you have any contacts in that club? I have spoken to the other TVR cars and they were very pleased to have raced with you and your Radical and i know you had a fantastic weekend.Are you an allmost definate? Are you doing the Combe GT next year or is it to early to ask.I think as you know , you should strap an "A" Tuscan under you and join us in the Challenge biggrin

Hi Perry, Unfortunately no, I don't know anybody in the Marcos club. It might be worth contacting Doug Ellwood though as he races a Marcos and may know of others. You probably know Doug from David Geralds, longstanding TVR dealers, although earlier this year they joined forces with Classic World Racing and moved to Redditch.
