Don't think you'll have any trouble getting a late entry , Gary's email to me today mentioned being 'very short of entries and could we all encourage any others to come please' :roll:

H'mmm , they wont allow you to wear anything over the race overall Simon . If you got away with it last time it was just because they didn't notice , due to all the '' off's '' and towing in that was keeping them busy. At LONGCROSS , years ago now , it was raining torrentially as some may remember . A few of us put waterproofs over our overalls just before we came up to the line BUT the line marshals spotted it and insisted we got wet , even in the line waiting :evil:

Can't say I'm looking forward to it in similar conditions :roll:

Attitudes to "kart wet suits" over Nomex seem to vary considerably. I certainly got away with it at the tragic Goodwood sprint a few weeks ago, and at Pembrey (where it rains a lot) nobody seems to bat an eyelid. But at Snetterton a few days ago it was bucketing down (much worse than Goodwood) and, despite there being nowhere in Norfolk to shelter, suits were banned. Daft really, in any sort of fire a wet baby-gro would boil you in a bag!
