Curborough sprint day 2015

[Jeff]

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.

Oh .. I've still to get past fourth gear, that seemed fairly quick to me, perhaps I'm getting older

Thanks for the guidance.

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!)

I doubt you need more than 3rd at curborough if you have a stock alfa box.... so you will be fine.

You can do this in 2nd gear there....

I doubt that I will manage it, even if others do.
