Re: Castle Combe Spring Action Day 24/4/10
Looking a bit touch and go for me now as well, im waiting for my boost hoses and water hoses but theres a two and a half ween wait as their changing premises which Ive worked out the latest I could have the car running is April the 12th which dos'nt leave many days untill its outing at castle combe.
Which means im going to be very nurvous about a) driving it up there and b) hammering it around the track.
Will keep this thread posted though.

Re: Castle Combe Spring Action Day 24/4/10
We have got our entrance tickets and we know where our stand is as well.
it might be worth giving Maria a ring Henry, might save confusion on the day.
I assume Gareth's time was 10am ? If its not I'll have it

Re: Castle Combe Spring Action Day 24/4/10
It seems this year Castle Combe have changed the tickets they give out too. I have received 12 entry tickets, they arent giving out stand passes this year either. So as its first come first served some people will have to pay for their entry tickets. No doubt other people will drop out etc but this means the last few people that said they were coming will have to pay for entry. Apologies if this creates an issue for anyone, but it is not something i can change.
Shaun, do you happen to have any spare tickets at all?

Re: Castle Combe Spring Action Day 24/4/10
Might be picking up a bumper on the saturday after the show in southampton. Meaning the weekend will have me doing a 319 mile trip.
Reckon I'll make it on one tank of fuel? Seats out time I think, sounds like a challenge

I have pm'd the people who will have to pay for their entry tickets, it costs £10 on the gate apparantly. Jake, for some reason you cant receive pm's, but hopefully you see this message

Re: Castle Combe Spring Action Day 24/4/10
I will probaly have some spare tickets.
But, I won't know until on the day because we all meet up and convoy up together.
If you pm me your mobile Henry I'll ring when I know numbers and arrange to meet you (or the people that need tickets) outside somewhere.
I got your track time come through today Henry as well
Does Jake need a ticket then ?
