My entry is in; the Car Club won't take the entry money until the closing date so there's no excuse about waiting for pay day, GET YOUR ENTRIES IN NOW! b.t.w. This is all far too serious, when is this web site going to get back to its usual light hearted / irreverent style?

Regarding being first on the timetable: Steve has put PBIC first as engines cannot be started until 9am and we are one of the quieter championships that is running. He is also talking to the Morgans to look at whether they can run first as per last year. Shared Grids: As Paul has mentioned above the MGCC want to make sure they get enough cars on the grids to cover costs. They are therfore being covering themselves and put us with the Cockshoot. If we get enough entries we will be given our own race. Today there ate 9 entries for PBIC. We need to be around the 25 mark to ensure we are out on our own. The messaage is therfore GET YOUR RACE ENTRIES IN EARLY (NOW)! If we don't make the numbers then we may see either the cockshhot or a class from cockshoot/BCV8 out with us. (And we don't want that - remember last years mixed grids at Donnington). I have spoken to Maggie about the shared grid and being first on the timetable.

Combined grids will be a issue this year and I hope it will be a problem for the organising club rather than the championships.

MSA C[c].70 states that the rear red light should be homologated by the FIA or comply with EU regulations. My understanding is that if it is 'E' marked then it complies with EU regulations and is acceptable, any factory fitted light(s) should be OK. Pete,

I have my entry in I am sure I an not the only one to hand over the credit card details and pre enter. Under 21's is a good idea and should make it easy for those of us who want to sell on a older race car maybe worth getting Steve Carr to forward a for sale list with entry forms by email. This could get some extra cars out. As for the official website I am sure Jonesey has, and I would be happy to help. On a separate note is the club sending out a blue book update to registered drivers especially with regard to fuel testing rig and rain lights Pete All good then, lets try and get some full grids.
