Well I can guess that Andy will be getting excited that a race is only a few days away. Anyone else getting their dander up for some track action at the weekend or is apathy ruling same as for Rock. How did you chaps get on at the weekend sneaking a track day preview , is it as awesome a venue as I remember ? Who has entered? Any A+ cars going ?

This should get you class A drivers in the mood..........

That's a bit harsh!!!!!!! especially when all of you get suspended just for one minor discretion.....Doubt I'll ever be using that TDO.

Sorry you had a bad one Bill, i have not used Javelin after a similar incident with a friend!
As said you where all racers with Dean just having one off seems a bit Draconian to ban you all till after lunch, at least you got some wet track practice as i think Saturday is going to be a wet race!
My car will hopefully be ready so see you there :]

Looking forward to it now! Car done, just needs fuelling! Looks like I may even have a lend of an onboard camera for the weekend (hopefully not a bad thing lol). As Tim says, praying for dry weather! Different weather sites say different things so wait and see...

See some of you Friday night at the bar for some warm up drinks!!

My disc's came today minus the mounting bolts/nuts Ap racing say they are an up grade from floating disc's not sure why they have upgraded me with out me asking they will let me know what's happening in the morning . cutting it mighty fine. Whens the latest I can pull my entry if I have to? Can anyone remember if there is eclectic hook ups in the outer pits, I presume we shall be in the outback.

Hi Folks

Once again I have posted a thread on the WWM TVRCC forum..to raise support ..

Am sure that we will get lots of interest again...

Will be looking at picking up a sail flag and some DTEC promo stuff to put on the TVRCC stand at the Classic Car Show @ the NEC...help promote the series..and TVR racing...

Might be worth keeping a watching eye on this show too....
