In a joint effort between Team Gadget and Tete Rouge there will be a Barbeque on Saturday night to mark the passing of Simon Scott a joint founder of Tete Rouge in 1989.
 Known to most as Bas, some modifications we all use today can be attributed to him, 2 into 1 exhaust, sprocket flywheels, ported heads, I have no doubt some parts he made are still in use.

About the 2023 calendar, that we are still promoting it on the front page of our website?

I see that on BARC website we are not down to race at Pembrey, is this just an omission on their part or are we indeed not going to Pembrey?

To all that made this years 24hr happen,especially in these Covid times,I know how much effort goes into this with very little gratitude for it .

THANK YOU

As it's the 30th running of the race i thought there would have been some recognition of this momentous occasion.

On this Anniversary can Uncle Roy repeat his victory of 30 years ago back in Mother, which is still in ECAS livery?
 
I reckon he stands a chance.

I notice in the board technical minutes that Steve Walford is going to bring drilled studs to the first meeting,i would like to point out these do not comply with the rule as written in the regulations which states Nuts and Bolts must be drilled and makes no mention of studs at all.
If you require drilled nuts use Rocker cover nuts for M7 and head nuts for M8, they are tall enough that the wire will pass through them without the stud getting in the way.

Can we see some?

Apparently Snetterton now has safety fencing on the pitwall.

Having had a chat with Lien i looked at the paddock plan for Donington ,it shows us in garages 11 to 36 on Sunday and Britcar in garages 11 to 36 on Saturday.Not sure where that leaves those of us who were planning to go on Friday night.
It will also depend on all the Britcar competitors vacating the garages on Saturday.

So you buy a recently raced car and...

We are finally going to see a standard Dyane race in one of our championship rounds.

Could someone point me in the direction of these please.
As they should have been in place before entries were accepted i guessed they should be easy to find,however i can't seem to see any.Does this mean there aren't any ?

It has been pointed out to me that the garages are being shown as available to rent on the friday test day on the MSV website .Are they not included in the race entry?

Entry Cost includes:
Testing for 24 hour class cars on Friday
Qualifying - 2 x 1 hour sessions on Friday evening
16 entry tickets for the weekend
Garage (may have to be shared), paddock space, reasonable electrical usage

Could someone from the board advise us if this is an extra cost please.

Probably?

Is it just me or don't these figures add up?
£210 x 8 = 1680
+£300     =£1980

Entry en­bloc for all races (except 24hr race):
These are pre­season discounts provided your correctly completed form with full payment has been received by 1st March. This
represents a saving of £187 for Eco class and £280 for Club Class

This should have made the enbloc figure for club class £1700 shouldn't it? That's £200 per entry if there were 20 entries that's £4000 and the sprints lost money! No wonder

i thought seeing as no one else had posted on here to say well done that i would.
Three years in a row, all prepared by the same team not two different teams is a herculean effort. To bring a brand new car not previously raced and win is something i don't think has ever been done before.
If i remember the conversation at the 2013 AGM correctly you are due a replica of the 24hr trophy to keep. No team deserves it more. Congratulations to you all.

Following Mervyn's post on announcements could someone please point me to the rule that says you have to a racing club member to race . I can't find it anywhere. I have found the bit that says barc member ,nothing else.

To Katy for organising the bbq at the weekend and to Cielo and Wes for cooking it . THANK YOU.

For those of you who have missed it, on page 14 of the MSA magazine it says Frontal Head Restraints will become mandatory in 2016.So if like me you bought a new helmet this year make sure you get the most out of it ready for 2016 when you may have to buy another as well as the FHR.

Having received tickets today,can someone enlighten me as to where paddock 1 and paddock 2 are please.

What time signing on is for friday testing?

Are there any final instructions?
