I'm running on Toyos, so presumably the ashtray is eligable ? - do you know the proposed timetable ? I've got the entry filled out for the TRC rounds, but haven't sent it off yet - If races are spread out, I may be Mr Greedy and enter 4 on the day - I'm getting old and need to pace myself - can you send me an entry anyway, and mail me your new address again - I seem to have misplaced it already
Thanks
Alan
All the long circuit racing will take place in the morning. Practice from 9am racing from 10am to finish at lunchtime. These other races are to spread out the TRC sessions.
Rod Birley 10 Aug 2006, 09:39 We will try and make it possible Alan. The DT&R races will be split, so that gives us more flexibility
Al Weyman 10 Aug 2006, 10:22 4 races in a morning! Blimey Alan whats going to expire first, you or the car :-)
Alan Cherry 10 Aug 2006, 10:59 4 races in a morning! Blimey Alan whats going to expire first, you or the car :-)
I have a cunning plan.........................................
I may be missing the October round at Lydden, so I can get two lots in september - Only get back from Venice 2 days before October round, so no time to prepare the car, also there is a race I want to wach at the ring on Sunday - If I come down and watch on saturday afternoon, I can then catch the ferry and drive to the ring - watch the racing on the sunday, play for a few laps monday morning then back to blighty - I sort of got permission from swmbo. If it happens, I'll be doing it in her focus (although she doesn't know that bit yet):rofl:
Jamie G 10 Aug 2006, 11:42 I'm in!
Who's going to come second to last? Just so I know who to follow :D
andypipe 10 Aug 2006, 19:46 I'm in!

Eddy,
Still got to sort out the correct information, butI'm told that the youngtimers race is on the sunday - I'll confirm it first - don't know if it's on the Nordschlieffe (?)

Yes, I will be at Lydden. Any other option? Don't think so. :rotate:
Ah, missed that one at the Ring, getting old I reckon.
Jamie G 11 Aug 2006, 13:41 All,
Which list are the tyres? 1a or 1b?
Rod/ Cheryl, please could you confirm?
thanks,
Jamie

No, but i have got a tyre cutter:rofl:
Rod Birley 11 Aug 2006, 19:11 1a and 1b are eligible

barry barnes 11 Aug 2006, 21:53 Probably me:rofl:
Na its gotta be the oldest one out there ! - ME !!! :rotate:
Oh dear, now they're starting to decide who's going to finish second to last.
Racing drivers :doh: .
Joking, honestly! :rotate:
Minicross424 12 Aug 2006, 13:16 I'm in!
Who's going to come second to last? Just so I know who to follow :D
I can only assume that you have never been on the track the same time as me Jamie!
1300cc Mini on standard su!
I did once have an idea about some rope, an anchor and one Mr Thursdons car!
That might just increase the straight line speed!!!:rofl: :rofl:
Minicross424 12 Aug 2006, 13:25 On the nice poster for the event, it says "Minis", are we talking Ministocks or what?
Also get some posters to me and ill plaster them around Ashford!
Rod Birley 12 Aug 2006, 14:56 Junior Ministox, probably about 50 of them, plus Minicross if they want to do the challenge like last year. All are welcome.
PM your address to me and I will send you some posters.
MiniMadness 12 Aug 2006, 21:38 Minicross won't be able to make it this year, as they are racing at Blyton that weekend. Thanks for the invite.
Rod Birley 13 Aug 2006, 11:15 Is Blyton a two day meeting now, I thought we had avoided a clash.
carrera 13 Aug 2006, 13:39 All this squabbling over who is to finish last , or second to last, I'll certainly enter if I'm guaranteed the race win.:rofl:
PS If anyone is interested I have 4 Yoko AO32s 195/60 x14. Could deliver to Brands Saturday.
That can be arranged Gary, as I'm Observing there. :stirrer:
Alan Cherry 16 Aug 2006, 23:30 Many entries yet ?
MiniMadness 16 Aug 2006, 23:58 Is Blyton a two day meeting now, I thought we had avoided a clash.
No Blyton is a one day meeting, but most drivers travel up on the Saturday. Plus we have an AGM booked for the Saturday evening.
jaysalv 24 Aug 2006, 12:01 so has anyone entered the race at lydden yet:cool:
I do wish you'd look at the threads already active in the forum ol' bean!
There's one running for Lydden 9th Sept (two races for £100....)
You'll probably find that Chezza's reporting the list there, and have a look at Rod's website, Shawn may have put the current entries on there.......
Rob.
falcemob 24 Aug 2006, 18:24 They're now merged Rob
Well well, we have 32 for the track and race, keep the entries coming as we will have split grids, and I have 4 for the tin top challenge, keep the entires coming in for that too.
falcemob 24 Aug 2006, 21:50 We're just waiting on that nice Aron bloke form HT to finish Eric's engine.
Thanks Tim.
And a HT motor in the Ericmobile, there will be no holding him back! 43's?
Rob.
falcemob 24 Aug 2006, 22:42 It was originally an RH motor but Eric decided to change the mains or big ends and it went down hill from there. :(
Alan Cherry 25 Aug 2006, 00:44 I have 4 for the tin top challenge, keep the entires coming in for that too.
I've 'encouraged' my brother and my cousin to enter, so there should be two more entries after the weekend !:brm:
Jamie G 25 Aug 2006, 08:23 ...and I have 4 for the tin top challenge, keep the entires coming in for that too...
I might come fourth!!!
Rod Birley 25 Aug 2006, 08:44 Website will be updated, as soon as Shawn returns from paddling in Devon.
jonbryant 25 Aug 2006, 19:46 I'll be down there snapping on the Saturday now which is good news. So look for me before you have any unplanned excursions!
Sounds like it should be a good day so look forwrad to seeing you all down there.
nice one jon will see you down there will be a cracking weekend
Rod Birley 28 Aug 2006, 22:00 We now have the extra support of Invicta FM and their very nice "road runners", who should brighten up the paddock!!
jaysalv 28 Aug 2006, 22:50 will be good to see a full grid .will be there friday night enjoying a few bevvies
jonbryant 29 Aug 2006, 14:53 Are the Road Runners what I think they are? I'll definately bring my camera in that case!
driftwood 29 Aug 2006, 16:48 Single seaters are getting 2 races 1x 15 lapper then later 10 lapper is planned 2 races for £235 or something like that rather pay double for BH than Lydden the same day

carrera 29 Aug 2006, 20:11 Have entered DTRC but not on the list. Hope I sent the entry to the right address.
Rod Birley 30 Aug 2006, 10:45 Your entry has been found Gary, fear not.
Yep your there Gary, it arrived while I was away over the weekend! We now stand at 32 cars for the DTRC, but some obvious names missing.
Ok so the post has just arrived and we now stand at 33 for the DTRC and numbers are looking ok for the tin-top challenge too!
jaysalv 30 Aug 2006, 18:46 chezza is there a timetable available for the meeting yet
Have you tried Rod's site? IIRC is certainly an entry list on there.
tim dodwell 30 Aug 2006, 19:28 Seems my entry is also lost - waiting to hear if it's bin found.
Rod Birley 30 Aug 2006, 21:17 Tim you will be in, and I believe your other request has been granted.
Rod Birley 30 Aug 2006, 21:22 Timetable is being worked on. Basically practice will start at 0900, the DT&R will be split into two groups, likely to be 19 in each. All the long circuit races are in the morning, then after lunch the action moves to the oval along with the trucks on the 3/4 circuit. At the end of the day there will be a barbecue for all drivers and marshals. It should be worth staying, as we have the Radio Invicta girls to help present the prizes.
AndyMitch 31 Aug 2006, 13:25 I sent my entry last week (may have been to the old address - D'oh) I can't see my name on the list though, can anyone confirm it has been received?
Cheers
Lighntning Mitch No 95
It doesn't appear that I have got it!
I will add you to the list and you can pay on the day!
does anyone know what the latest you can turn up at lydden friday night
AndyMitch 3 Sep 2006, 21:58 "It doesn't appear that I have got it!

Nice one - thanks Cheryl.
Probably need to start a new thread for this, but who would be up for karting at Daytona Raceway during the off season. I went there a couple of months ago and they have a fantastic outdoor track.

richard brent 3 Sep 2006, 22:26 Lightening - did you win at Daytona Karting ??
AndyMitch 3 Sep 2006, 22:39 Good question RickyBurnout, and one you already know the answer to. Lets just say it was a team event and you couldnt choose your team-mates. Had the fastest lap though!
Finals have gone in the post this afternoon, expect them over the next couple of days.
Rod Birley 4 Sep 2006, 19:32 40 entries at present for the DT&R. The split is A, C and I together, then B,D and E. 20 in each race.
Can we get in on Friday evening? Until what time (and from what time, come to that)?
It says in the finals! ;)
It says from 1pm on Friday and you have to be out by 11am on sunday.
Rod Birley 4 Sep 2006, 23:32 Looks like there are about 14 takers for the "treaded" tyre tin tops. Late entries are still welcome.
The current entry list is in the usual place.
Minicross424 5 Sep 2006, 08:24 Wheres the usual place??
Sorry sir im new!!

andypipe 6 Sep 2006, 15:33 Programmes a little tight isnt it
In the morning? No I don't thinks so.
Rod Birley 6 Sep 2006, 17:14 Hey, this is "quickfire" racing, bit like the old "racing ahead". 36 races in one day and Bill Richards is doing six of them, one after another. No wonder they call him mad dog!!!
I like the idea of quick turnaround racing like this, keeps the adrenalin going...
Nothing worse than waiting around, not quite enough time to get comfortable etc...
Roll on Saturday!
Don't tell anyone, but I have the BEER already in my car.
:sing:
jonbryant 6 Sep 2006, 22:59 Beer? Eddy...? Any chance of some Hoegaarden?!
Oooh I'd say quick mug eddie...but that wouldn't be of any benefit really...!
Alan Cherry 7 Sep 2006, 00:13 are both the DTRC and Tin tops Rolling starts ? With races next to each other I could easily get confused !
They are all rolling starts as far as I am aware.
phansa88 7 Sep 2006, 01:28 Oh sh## rolling start hate them about time had some standing starts get away better than some of the bigger boys.little boys have more fun from the start
If there is some room left in my car, I'll bring some Hoegaarden as well.
And I really mean: if.
Maybe I could bring the truck? ;)
And let's hope they don't stop me at the German, Dutch, Belgian, French and UK border. :rofl:
graham bahr 7 Sep 2006, 21:24 Programmes a little tight isnt it
what you worried about andy, the size of your pit crew you've got a crew member for each race and some spare :rofl: :rofl:
andypipe 7 Sep 2006, 23:06 what you worried about andy, the size of your pit crew you've got a crew member for each race and some spare :rofl: :rofl:
Youre just jealous that i can prancs about like a prima donna. You cant beat a bit of help on the day to take the pressure off. The crew thins out next year as one becomes a driver, and the rest have to work on two cars...........................if i can keep them out of the bar:rofl:
Yeah but the satisfaction of doing it yourself...!
Rod Birley 8 Sep 2006, 09:20 42 entries now for DT&R, with Andy Thompson entering his Seat in classB. 21 in each race should be good. Along with 153 entries for the oval races plus the trucks it is going to be a busy day. Weather forecast ............SUNNY
andypipe 8 Sep 2006, 09:30 Yeah but the satisfaction of doing it yourself...!
Shall i inform the missus of that;)
jonbryant 8 Sep 2006, 13:40 Camera batteries charging as we speak. Thank goodness for big lenses cos I don't want to be anywhere near the Devils Elbow when the trucks come round!
Won't sleep tonight cos I'm so childishly excited.
I don't think i'll get much sleep either...considering I have to be up about half 4!!
Oh dear I walked into that one really didn't I andy!
Half four? I'm already on the road by that time. :yawn:
Car fuelled up, beer in the boot since last monday (never mind, long story), last minute dash for some Hoogie, ready to go.
What the h*** do I forget, this goes too easy. :help:
Hehe what time do you have to leave Eddy?!
Marshalling gear?! Yourself?! I always think i've forgotten something when everything is going to well! I'm sure i've forgotten something, but don't know what!!
I forget you have to be on go even earlier!
Aaaargghhh, you make me forget even more things.
Don't forget, don't forget, don't forget, don't for......:relax:
Its ok I think I've just been too organised when its come to this meeting so I'm not doing any of my normal rushing about!!
Rod Birley 8 Sep 2006, 17:00 Don't forget the signing on sheets, the amendment forms, etc.. Oh by the way,Meridian television (local ITV) are going to be doing a live broadcast at about 6.20 tonight to preview the racing.
Hehe what time do you have to leave Eddy?!
To be honest, I don't HAVE to leave, this all on my own free will. :banghead:
Don't ask me to do this for my job.
On the road at 4 (UK time) for a 7 o'clock shuttle. :burn:
I've got all the forms done, just need to print the sign on sheets, I won't forget them!
Sorry Eddy know you don't have to...just wondered how early you're going!
No Eddy does have to come...he's got the beer!!! ;)
Rod Birley 8 Sep 2006, 21:46 Bill richards is now a television star (as well as Richard Brent). These class E boys get all the limelight.
jonbryant 9 Sep 2006, 22:54 Excellent day and certainly a variety of machinery on display! Website link will be online tomorrow (it's been a VERY long day) but I do have a pic of virtually every car!
And I never found you Eddy! It's been a thirsty evening!
I was there Jon, on Post 9 for the long circuit racing (at Lydden) and on the hill for the oval thingies. Think I saw you near P5, but could not get across.
Not a bad day, loved the saloons as usual, but oval is not really my thing.
Good to meet everyone again.
Andy: I've put the words in one sentence. ;)
Rod Birley 10 Sep 2006, 10:54 Brilliant day, the trucks were amazing. John Cross got very close in race one of the DT&R (understatement says Sue), but it was an accident. Still it made the last couple of laps entertaining. Results and report will be in the usual place.
It was good to see a decent size Saturday crowd of spectators, the power of television may be?
jaysalv 10 Sep 2006, 20:15 just like to say what a excelent day superb racing . team desperados get there first podium finish 3rd in class well done russ, also feel so bad for chris far after all the work he done to get his car ready for this race only for the accident in qualifiying to happen unlucky chris. superb day though looking forward to the next meeting:cool:
jonbryant 10 Sep 2006, 20:59 Chris did have the dinstinction of first spin of the day aswell! Be on the website shortly!

Many thanks for the beer Eddy, the boys appreciated it after the mammouth task of getting the car out in time for the 1st race.
Yes congrats to Retro Racing for getting the car ready, was certainly impressive!
Well done to Richard Brent and Andy Mitchell for the fantastic fight to the line in the first race, it was certainly close, but very clean!
Thanks for the beer Eddy, it certainly went down well, especially from my point of view, I certainly needed one!
Trucks...we'll what can I say other than brilliant?! I do hope we can get them back.
Thanks to all for their help etc, heres hoping the october meeting is as successful!
jonbryant 10 Sep 2006, 23:40 Here we go peeps. Gallery for the day. Like I said, if you can't see your car then drop me a PM as I have one of everyone!

Alan Cherry 11 Sep 2006, 01:46 Enjoyable days racing - despite a hole in the block in the first A,C&I race. - Brother very generously insisted I took his tomcat out for 2nd Tintop race, so I got to finish 1 race.
Have a spare engine, but I want to top and tail it before installing, so Astra won't be out again until next season - what happened in 2nd A,C&I race - lots of bent cars, and delayed results.
Missed the beer Eddy, but enjoyed the beer after racing supplied by team desperados !
Rod Birley 11 Sep 2006, 09:07 The results of Race 2 were slightly amended following a successful protest and a subsequent inquiry. One driver had his licence endorsed for driving standards. It was a shame, but it may send out a message that contact is not allowed. The positions around 7th,8th and 9th were altered.

Flat Out Farr 11 Sep 2006, 21:07 thanks for the kind words boys; much appreciated. My web site has the Lydden report on it now, thanks to the lovely Jackie. Looks like I will be out on October 7th. Mr Newton is working another miracle! Just welding the 8" RSJ on the front to fend off marauding Sierras!!
Lol, good to see you will be back Chris!

Chris, quick question - just read the web site - why didn't you floor it when the back end stepprd out ? you may have got it back, or am I reading the report wrong ?

Al Weyman 12 Sep 2006, 10:44 Absolutely no excuse for a practise shunt like that IMHO. I got clobbered in practice by some 'person' at Brands in a Classic Thunder race. This joker had already bagged the fastest lap by several seconds but and there were at least another 5 laps to go but oh no could not stand just one spoiled lap so turned in on me nearly launching me off the track. At least your man got a reprimand did'nt he, no one said a word to this guy.
Enjoyable days racing - despite a hole in the block in the first A,C&I race.
Have a spare engine, but I want to top and tail it before installing, so Astra won't be out again until next season
Alan,
Have you done a post mortem? I'll lay odds that a rod let go at the threaded part where the rod bolt goes in.
Get some steel rods before it does it again. You're probably at the point where your engine is producing more power than the rods can stand.
A discussion from earlier this year, or was it last year........
Rob.

Haven't touched the car since unloading from the trailer- Have got various holidays /visits to the ring coming up, so probably won't be able to start on spare engine until later in Oct. s'posed to have Omega Pistons, decent head,ARP bolts etc etc - want to checkit all out before putting it in. Stock bottom end with ARP bolts is supposed to be good for 8k, wheras the MBE management system was set for about 7100 soft and 7250 hard, so I suspect it was old age _ I think the engines been a bit tired for some time now - low on compression, was just hoping to see the season out on the old engine as I've just moved and have got too much to do indoors!
Al Weyman 13 Sep 2006, 09:27 Stock rods for sustained 8k, ouch no thanks!
Stock rods for sustained 8k, ouch no thanks!
If it's a Honda Vtec, or Toyota VVTi or similar, then that's fine.
I found with the 1600cc 8v Vauxhall lump that it was related to power output.
When my engine turned out a Gp.A-esque 155bhp it was very reliable, and revving to 8800rpm intermittently.
With it pushing 180+ but revving less (shift point at 7400, limiter set at 7500), I went through 3 blocks in 2 years.
New rods every time. ARP, Ilmor, and Cosworth bolts.
In the end, I threw in the towel and bought a set of steel rods, which cost me much less than one "rubber" bottom end, due to the cost of the Cosworth Gp.A pistons adding around £100 per pot.
Since then, the engine did three seasons before a "freshen" - which consisted of nothing more than a set of ends & mains, as the bores were perfect, and the rings were still mint. Everything x-ray'd an OK. I love Mobil-1!!
Rob.
Flat Out Farr 13 Sep 2006, 21:42 Good News for me. George has straightened up and re-welded the driver's side pick-up point for the lower wishbone. I had a spare one to replace the damaged one.The driveshaft and gearbox appears OK. I have a trip to Quantum's on Friday with the damaged strut; it is well f****d. New wing being picked up, front bumper being glassed up today. As long as Quantum's can do me a rebuilt strut in the next 2 weeks, Iwill be at Lydden on 7th.

Rob.I lost V8's due to rod failure using standard rods and they are tough and steel as standard. ihave them in one engine at the moment and restrict that to 6500rpm, in the IROC I rev to 7800rpm but have Manley steel billet rods which being a chevy you can buy 8 off for less than the price of a set of 4 for a Nova (thats why I race em!).
Flat Out Farr 14 Sep 2006, 20:53 Guess what guys; have made it into this week's Autosport for the wrong reasons.
Oh well, any publicity is good publicity !!!!(lol)
jonbryant 14 Sep 2006, 21:48 And I'd walked away from that end of the circuit 3 minutes earlier... Else you'd have had photographic evidence aswell!
And I'd have managed to get in there for the first time... :Shrug: In fact they didn't have any pics of the meeting in Autosport of it and only 1 of Matt's in MN.
Tim Wilkinson 14 Sep 2006, 23:42 Ah, the mountain goat 205, right?
Someone has to elaborate for those not there!
Tim Wilkinson 15 Sep 2006, 10:07 One of the 205s ended up driving up and then back down the banking on the run down to paddock. One of (I believe a series of) the pics ended up in MN.
I don't know what happened with Chris's incident - I just saw the aftermath (cars all over the track) from the assembly area.
