Hillclimb & Sprinting

[David]

Back at RAF Barkston Heath yesterday -- for the first time this year. Lovely people, and huge VFM as sprints go (six practice and six timed runs over three slightly different courses in one day -- all for £50 ).

Here's a lap of the clockwise "club" course...........

Just had confirmation of an entry at BRANDS this Sunday ---- off the reserves list No camping apparently , so will have to get up early . Never even spectated at Brands and I see from the ' finals ' that the scrutineering paddock is the other side of the track which makes it a bit tricky not to miss your slot and there's no cover Garages are going to be taken up by the afternoon racers
I've been spoilt at Goodwood , having a nice covered paddock slot(another reason I only sprint there the last 3 years)

I wonder if there are any more places....didn't get my entry in for this one.

completely full. My local event as well. Never mind, next year.

It must have been subscribed very quickly after reg's were published because I sent off my cheque on the 4th August and it was full then so got put on the reserves list until yesterday. I think their problem is also the fact that there are race events in the afternoon so all sprints have to be done and dusted by 12-55am sharp This means that practise doesn't start till 10-20am due to race car practise etc

See you there Rob -- I'll try to last a little longer this time

Good luck guys. I would like to know your times that is if you start from pit lane and do 1 3/4 laps finishing on the short straight behind the pit/paddock. It would be I have got rid of them as they were tarmac rally tires.Thats why I could not get any heat in them. I now have some soft Avons and have rejigged the back end a little. Looking forward to Debden
I was last there in 2006
