Tony Smith

As above, many thanks everyone!!!

Thank you

Has anyone seen any results from the goodwood sprint?

Not that I particularly want to be reminded!!!

But i need to write up the report for LF

Good luck everyone.

wish I was there!!!!

What a man!!!

You will be missed Roger.

Tony

Aintree is open.

Ha ha Dick.

 Wacky races, here we go again !!!

Hi Lewis,

Us southerners must stick together.

Hi Lewis,

would you want to add more weight to the drivers side or is this another type of ocd?

Obviously I have no idea technically!!!!! 

Agreed Alan it is a bit late and I am sure Andy and Co don’t need changes now.

 Perhaps This should  be considered as an early debate for the 2025 season, so that after seeing how 24 goes we are ready for the next steps!

The thinking being I suppose that if a competitor can get from 5 to 7 events by doing 2 at Harewood they won’t do aintree for example?

I agree re Loton and won’t be going again for the same reason as Simon, perhaps Harewood could be a double header for the championship. They really know how to run an event. Aintree I will try and get to as well for the same reason as Harewood, they are committed to getting the most runs possible and really work hard at it. I know it’s only 3 corners etc but it’s about more than the track and I have really enjoyed it for the last few years.

having said all that it is a shame we won’t be at Wiscombe next year, but hopefully we will get back at some point.

on the whole I can see where we are and why we are doing what we are doing and support Andy and the team in there management of a tricky situation.

I agree with both Malcolm and Alan.

Its always going to be tricky (actually impossible) with a national championship to get the geographic spread right for everyone, without having lots of rounds and having lots of rounds would mean less entries at some rounds especially in areas that have less competitors. As our championship is quite midlands-centric the rounds in the south get less entries and I understand thats why Wiscombe has gone.

Personally I am very happy that Goodwood and Gurston have remained and have in-fact looked into the possibility of entering a southern championship that would give me 4 events at each venue and save a small fortune in Diesel, however I would then miss out on the really exceptional camaraderie that exists within our championship. I have done events with other clubs and it's really not the same!!!!!

We have something very special and I hope we can keep it going during challenging times.

seems like a really mad system and is putting me off buying.

I am seriously looking into doing autosolo events next year. No helmet needed and a free licence as well. entry fees under £50 and in the South East of the country as well!!!

Thank you Michael I think!!

I will be putting it off until the spring  just in case.

Thank you Michael.

And thank you Troy at Northampton Motorsport!!!

I have been looking at this more closely and it seems that the FIA 2015 has no expiry date, but I cant find any indication if it may have 0ne year or 10?

Seems to be totally random when they will or won't go out of date. Its a lot of money wasted if I go for an FIA2015 bell and then next year they decide its expired!!!!

Anyone that  can explain it would be popular!!!

Yes and the on phone advice from Andy was very helpful and generous.

I will be seeing you at PGM very soon for an upgrade!!!

As above,

A very big thank you everyone and well done Charlie and all the winners.

Another great fun year!!!!

Tony

Just a quick thank you for everyone that helped get me going again on Friday at Blyton  

An amazing effort from so many of you when you should all have been having fun on track.

Its very much appreciated 

Even Phil helped!!!!!

Many thanks

Tony

Nice write up Graham.

Just one point that  I feel should be noted.

Phil did take 5th place from me on the last run, however this was with the assistance of a re run and warm tyres!!

Tony (not at all bitter)

Ha Ha

I know what you feel!!

The office are looking into it now.

Tony

Thanks Andy,

And well done Lewis on a very impressive performance.

At the other end of the grid can you imagine how depressing it must be to improve your pb by over half a second and still come last   

Oh well it was a great fun day out as usual and maybe I can do better at Blyton

Onward if not upward!!!

Sounds like a plan Justin.

Phil isn't on the list but will probably want a garage and I need extra space for mine so 3 seems about right.
