Re: Castle Combe Action Day
If there are a few people, I might be persuaded. I'll try and unbolt the spare tyre from the fester for more speed, see if I can get an indicated 95 on the pit straight...

Re: Castle Combe Action Day
Mart,
I have booked four sessions, and I will be taking the Toledo XE to see how she goes, so as to speak.
I have not been able to pull sufficient strings to get to Colerne so this is the perfect antidote. Looking forward to it already!
Come on you lot! Let's get a few Dollys along.

Re: Castle Combe Action Day
I've got my insurance up that month... May not be able to do this one. Anyways as Richards my passenger for Colerne I think it's only fair he returns the favour 
Bet there aren't many 1300 Dollys that have seen a track!

Re: Castle Combe Action Day
What I was going to say was that, if there was enough interest (well at least one other), I will organise a club stand so we can get cheaper track passes & free admission. Martin is obviously very enthusiastic & already booked, heh ho!Me wrote:Who's going?
PM me with no. of sessions required & I'll sort out the costs.
The list:-
Martin B
Mad Mart (Hornet)
Trackerjack (Blue bottle)
Chris (Mosquito)

Re: Castle Combe Action Day
Sorry Mart - premature ejaculation on my part. 
At least I am going and I will be very pleased if you can reserve me a small corner in the Club "stand" so that I might join you guys. I don't have the print to hand but I think I booked 12.15, 2.15, 3.15, and 4.15 as my sessions.
I have received an e mail acknowledgement so it looks like I am in.
I now need to do my braided hoses and organise some instrumentation. At least I can drop the dash out of a Toledo now with my eyes shut in about ten minutes.......
I am going to have to buy one of those rather flashy looking Clarke "low entry" trolley jacks as the bloody thing is so low that none of my jacks fit under it. Ho hum.

Re: Castle Combe Action Day
Of course there will be room for you on the club stand Martin, you will be guest of honour.
I too have a problem with jack clearance, I usually jack up one side with a scissor jack to give me enough clearance for the trolley jack.

Re: Castle Combe Action Day
I think I should be good and ready by then...
Is there a nice long straight where I can play with my button?
