Hi Ian,
I would need to check the date, but yes I would be interested.
Dave
Would any of you be interested in going to Curborough sprint course now that it has been changed to include a crossover in the center of the track?
It would be a mid week event, and bring what you like. Strats hopefully, but then we don't all have one of those....
Cost would be about £60 and a max of 20 cars.... additional drivers £20.
Dates will be 18th June, if we don't get enough people which is likely I will ask other club to fill in the places....
Starts at 09:30 and runs till 17:30, and runs all day.....
A fish and chip run or the like will be done on the day (Separate cost)
You should get in about 10-15 runs if you up for it!
What do you all think???????
Answer to some of the questions asked so far...
1. You will need a helmet but thats all.
2. The car does need to be safe... Does not need to have been registered or have a current MOT, but must be of driveable quality.
3. Car are split into classes and timed with stopwatches so not a serious event per se, its for fun, but with a timed element.
4. £30 non returnable deposit is required direct to the organizer not the Club.
5. Last date for deposit paid is March 29th then I will offer it to other clubs to get the numbers.
6. I'm told on average you will get between 10-15 runs
For those seriously interested PM me and I will give you the details of where to send the Deposit.
Attendees so far:

So far we have 6 strats, 1x austin healey rally 3000, chevette HSR, Nissan 300zx, and others...

Interested too (the missus has given approval). Would need to understand the required status of the car (as there's a possibility that it still will not be on the road by then) and requirements regarding personal safety equipment (as I don't have any).
Cheers.
Its a while since I have been to Curborough, so I am intrested, just need to check I will be free that day, I should be as its a tuesday....
Is it an organised sprint, or a special event? i.e. are we running to any specific rules?

A few of us in the Midlands grab Curby twice a year for a bit of fun
Status of the car - there is no required status for the car - running and stopping and capable of making it round keeping you in one piece - just apply a common sense approach - generally when we hire many are not road legal or registered for the road. Quite a few needing extensive spannering and fettling to make it from Car park to track .
There is no maximum limit for safety gear - but minimum is a crash hat - begged borrowed or stolen -no need for a listed approved etc. as its not a competition its a fun day. It's nice to have someone who has a basic knowledge of first aid just in case the worst happens - you just look out for each other.
We have a broad church and just about anything turns up - Ginetta, Palmer, Radical, Caterham, Westfield, MX5, Evo, Fisher, Pilbeam Judd, Lotus formula, Pilbeam Hart, Imp special, Atom - etc. etc. 50/50 split normally of driven/trailered.
Don't expect to use too many gears.
If I'm around I'll be there - just cant commit to much this year due to work and house move (hopefully)
(and even more hopefully with a better Garage!)
Whre is Curborough?
