Grass Autotest in Leeds Wednesday evening

[Trickie Dickie]

Sorry for the late posting, but realised it is now tomorrow evening
and just hoping the weather forecast is wrong for rain tomorrow

I have entered my S Type Jaguar (don't laugh) for the IDMC Ilkley & District Motor Club
grass autotest at Manston Grange Farm near Seacroft Leeds from 6.30 for 7pm start.
(drive past the old Barnbow Tank factory to the very bottom and it is the farm on the left)
LS15 8AD should get you near on Sat Nav

There are usually 3 or 4 tests run 3 times before light fails
and we retire to the pub for a shandy

Anyone is welcome to come and watch/cheer me on (I will certainly need it)
but it is great fun and for just £7 then it is really cheap motorsport

Cheers
Richard

Hmm, I'm a member of IDMC too. What time is it likely to finish? I might try and get over and compete!

Hi Ben

Usually finishes as the light fails about 8.30-9pm I would guess

It is £15 to enter on the night (if you are already a member)
The regs are on the IDMC front page

pm me if you need any more details

Cheers

[benjj]

Sorry Trickie, no go, have people over damn it.

Forgot about this.....

Might have a ride over to watch/help out.

Looks to be 10 mins from my office in Garforth so might have to pop in for a quick look before heading home for tea

[telecat]

Just live up the road. Might pop down.

[moribund]

Sorry, rain has put me off idle spectating but I bet it's a laugh when its this slippy!

[Trickie Dickie]

It was still on until about 5.30 when it was decided the only thing going in the field was the tractor!!!

Real shame as I was all keyed up for the nights fun

Roll on the next one

Cheers
Richard

[moribund]

That's a shame but that rain was horrendous!

Difficult to roll on a grass autotest but if you're planning to, fit a harness.

No Dave, I was telling you I was having a Ham Roll for my tea before the next evening autotest.

How are you doing, Mate? Still racing? Still in 1 piece?

Fancy bringing your Fiat on a 2 mile runway in a couple of weeks?

cheers

It'sfar too noisy I'm afraid.

Might bob up on the Saturday for a squizz round.

Fancy coming to Cadwell on 1 September? Last round of the MR2 series.

What's far too noisy? There are no noise limits here

I'm afraid I am at a Wedding in Middlesboro on the 1st Sept -
otherwise would have come to watch as I love Cadwell as a track
and I bet the MR2s racing round there is a right dodgem fight!!!

Cheers
