I will be down in Brighton today but hopefully will be avoiding the speed trial and associated traffic chaos.

I presume they give times/traps out ?

A video someone posted over on the Uphill racers forum. There's a brief glimpse of Harrys car...well, the rear and it is only brief lol

Likewise. Good showing in the end and perfect weather.
Surface is terrible there for a quarter, tractions the problem as always.
Hopefully means the local Green Party have no excuse to argue with next year.

Final times should get posted up on the Brighton & Hove Motor clubs site soon. Not sure if they issue trap times also.

Handicap event you can enter without a competition license.
Believe it the follows the discipline of looking to assign cars handicaps to give everyone the same time allowing for the unrestricted entry criteria. That's more for ongoing competion as they only get a practice run and one timed run.

Like an index racing type of thing ?

Or who assigns the handicap ?

I presume that's the class then that any MSA "non race" license holders etc would have to enter ?

Wasn't sure if that was your car or not had so many pictures.

Yes that's pretty much it. Not sure on who assigns to be honest.
But yes that's the class you can enter without an MSA license. You don't need a MSA 'race' license for the other classes, the other MSA types such as the speed license are valid I believe.
