Andrew,is the slip raod "ON" leaving cambridge east bound going to be open or do i need to take old raod, that runs parrell to A14 and go via newmarket?

[Andrew Palmer]

Pete, there is no access for traffic on to the A14 East bound at Junction 33 (Milton) and I'll check Junction 35 (Stow cum Quay) for you on Monday Pete, but as the diversion is to Junction 36 (Nine Mile Hill) take it as no access at Junction 35 either.

Pete,

Re-surfacing work at the weekend.Should be up to and just pass the end of the on-slip at Junction 35 A14, so you'll have to use the diversion like the rest.

Just a quick note to thank whoever was working on the post at Sear on Saturday. I was driving the Spitfire and you helped me jury-rig my throttle to get back to the pits. Much appreciated!

That would be Mark who came to your assistance Stuart.

Glad the relay went better for you and many congratulations on your first race meeting. Even driving the car to and from the meeting with all the kit on board! The true spirit of what makes Club racing so great!

For those interested in Stuart's adventure see the thread on the Historic Racing Today forum;

A very enjoyable MGCC meeting with some excellent racing and big grids, thanks to Colin and the team on Sear Saturday and Revett Sunday for allowing me to have an enjoyable and busy time on the flags for a change!

Thanks everyone involved over the weekend and to the MGCC for the Marshal's drink at the end - which was greatly appreciated.
