Its not that bad honest.
Why not come along and see?

[dbv8]

'The Last Cerbera' will be joining us.
Got to be the best looking Cerbera there is IMO.

[grahamw48]

Do we have to drive miles up to the 'competitors entrance', or take a short cut through the top of the spectators' car park ?

Its not that much further to the pit area bt im sure if you went through the spectators car park someone would open the gate to let you through. I did this by mistake at my 1st meeting!
Anyone running there car should bear right at the entrance and get in the queue for scrutineering at the far top end of the it area (this is where you come in at so cannot miss it).
After getting your 'pass' card head to the tower to sign on and get your race number.
Then come find me for a chat and a brew.

Dam, I thought I might mention that on here, just talking to Mark today and he told me he is going, there might be some competition for you there Derek.

The cerberas and tuscans are always competition with a lot more power.
I just hope they struggle for traction off the line and dont catch me before the finish line.
My terminal speeds only 113 and ive seen Cerberas hitting 125+, ie they should be running quicker.
If your not running track tyres then at least lower the tyre pressures on the day.
The difference in grip is suprising

[kevin63]

I have a 12v power compresor in my car if anyone does want to lower the tyre pressures on the day and is worried about pumping them back up.

[dbv8]

I will also have a pump along with a Peugeot full of tools, meat and beer.

No drinking while racing tho folks, purely for celebrations afterwards

I'll be trailering my car up, where should I go to unload it? Joint the queue as posted above or go to whatever competitor paddock there is and unload then join the queue?

The scrutineering queue is positioned that you can join it as you arrive, or you can find a place in the pits, unload your car then take it to the queue to make sure it can turn left and right and stop basically.
York will be designating an area of the pits just for TVRs so all you need to do is spot them and park there.
Maybe Graham has a flag he can put up

[grahamw48]

How about the ex's pants ?...the ones she used to be able to get into.

[dbv8]

Sorry Graham i think i meant Kevin
Heads all over the place today... too many wines last night

Yes I have a flag and pole and will bring it. (providing the memory is working)

[dbv8]

Only 3 weeks to go and ive just ordered a new clutch just in case.
I attempted a 'spirited' getaway in the Chim last week, the clutch was out, my heal was on the brake , the engine roared but i didnt move.
Yes i know im an idiot but im glad i discovered the clutch might have been the weak link.
A john Eales 500lb/ft organic clutch is on its way to be fitted next week.

At least i will be able to launch hard at York.
See you there.

You can join in the fun anytime if you like Simon.
Once you have seen how easy and relaxed it all is then you will be running to get the T350 scrutineered and in the queue.

Latest on my car.... clutch is going in as we speak... BUT the fuel rail has decided to leak prefusely from just above injector number 6.
Im guessing the o-ring has let go.

Hi Derek. Not too keen this time, as im still a little nervous due to the 'wipe out' I had in my Tuscan. Prefer to get used to the T350 first and then maybe have a go later in the year.
I hope you get sorted for the event.

Engine running ok now, except a bit of oil burning, so I think I will be running down the Strip
