CTCRC Thruxton 18/19th August

[Mike Sheraton]

After the glorious success of Mallory Park, which proved to provide some of the most spectacular racing of the season, the CTCRC moves to Thruxton!
Not only are grids likely to be large again, but this meeting also happens to be the CSMA's Big Weekend meaning that there will be some fantastic crowds! Last year saw thousands of spectators take to the banks to watch the racing and this year looks set to follow suit.

The lineup will include:
CTCRC Post Historic Touring Car Championship
CTCRC Group One Touring Car Championship
CTCRC Pre 93 Touring Car Championship
CTCRC Blue Oval Saloons
CTCRC Classic Thunder Championship
CTCRC Alfa Romeo Series
Along with a raft of other series including Intermarque, Classic Motorcycles, Mini's and much more!
So come along and join the fun, for those wishing to compete, the entries close on 8th August!

Michael Schumacher's Benetton will also be doing demo laps, so its a great chance to see an F1 car in the flesh!

I will be there filming at the club chicane . No spins please Mike Lol more local for me too

[Al Weyman]

I've decided to bring the IROC-Z

[adam46]

Is the Benneton the one owned by Patrick D'Aubreby?

[Mike Sheraton]

Good on you Al, maybe i can try and keep up with that beast! (probably not)!
And Adam i'm not sure to be perfectly honest, it may well be. Either way it should be good!

[Al Weyman]

Just hope it stays together.

[Clive Brown]

Al

What you need is a decent ZL1 motor on a couple of four-barrel Holleys for the IROC-Z.

Should go like the manure off a trowel around Thruxton....

[Al Weyman]

Ha ha na the hot set up is the all alloy LS6 that goes in the Commadore and the 5th Gen coupled to a T56 6 speed and an an after market rear axle, I'll take the ZL1 for the 2nd gen though please. The car is handling a whole lot better than the last time I took it out in a CTCRC event so and hooking up so much better with the new aftermarket Auburn plate diff.

[Al Weyman]

Cliff Ryan is in with his XJS, the Magnum Big Boys Challenge resumes!

[Lancsbreaker]

Afraid the Alfa Romeo Owner's Club series won't be at Thruxton.....a combination of a short gap from Mallory and a meeting spread over two days seems to have provided a dearth of entries - and faced with being combined with the pre-93 racers, those who had entered have withdrawn - so sorry, no Alfa series.

Hope everyone else enjoys themselves......I'll get to Thruxton for a meet, sometime...but 450 miles round-trip is a bit far when my series isn't running.

[Al Weyman]

Thats a shame Richard. I think they are missing out on a good showcase event.

[Al Weyman]

OK no Club Barby at Thruxton for a very very good reason that I cannot discuss here as its personal to the parties involved so lets organise our own!!!

I have announced it on the forum maybe we could use Andy's Caravan or one of the members motorhomes as a central meeting point. We could do a Bring Yer Own Grub and Booze thing and it could be fun all we need is the loan of a nice Barby unit, if there is anyone coming that can bring one we would be most obliged?

[Al Weyman]

OK we have an offer of a Barby cooker so let us know here or on the club forum or Facebook page if you are up for this, we will set up near Andy Johnson's transporter and he is bringing a marquee for the use of. Don't forget bring your own grub and cook it on the barby, and your own booze I think it looks like barbeque weather so lets do it!.

I enjoyed the racing today.
A couple of the grids were thin but the races were good, the Mini Se7en one was probably the best I've seen all season.

Great weather, good company and 3 F1 cars doing demos as well.
