And how do we protect those timing the old fashioned way?

Will check with the circuit.

Why not time them looking over the pit wall?

Get a bunch of Big Lads and carry it?  IIRC a few years ago it rained there and no-one objected when TWFKAML parked our motorcar on the grass at the edge of the track to allow lap counting in the dry.

Hi!

I am the organiser of the pedal car race which will take place at Castle Combe at the same time as the HPV event.

With regards to cars on the track. I am new to this, but the booking form stated that we had to aggree to their conditions namely:

Take litter home,

Shut gates when we leave,

No motor cars to drive on the circuit.

I may be a bit out of date but I don't remember motor cars on the track in May 2002 when I raced the HPV race at Castle Combe.

I'm sure more information will be posted soon, but Jes has said it all really:

We have the venue from 7AM to 7PM on the 17th.

Camping is free the night before. This is NOT at Westway, but at the Chippenham Road Public entrance. Also, don't turn up before 6PM on account of the motor races -you will be charged entry!

On the day itself, the pedal car race uses the carpark and paddock area (well, some it because it is massive). I will be keeping the "Competitors entrance" shut because we are racing past it.

Entry to the venue will therefore be through the public entrance - the first one on Westway (not the usual Westway entrance which is much further along). Do an immediate left into the paddock etc. HPVs can access the main track either through the "real" pits or the Avon Bridge, I guess.

The pedal car race will be about 6-hours from 10.30AM. Currently we have a good field of 25-30 cars for this so I hope we can all enjoy each others company on the day and come and see us when you are not racing!

Now lets hope for good weather!

Chris.

Just talked to Castle Combe and the restriction is on vehicles racing round the circuit. They have no problem with car access to provide shelter for timers or for that matter for going round the circuit to collect the corpses that usually accompany our races.

I'm very unlikely to be at MK as it's on the day we're heading home from holidayt in Norfolk. I cunningly planned the holiday around MK being on the Sunday and her indoors isn't too keen on coming home early...

Could always leave her there I suppose...

I'll be happy to help out at Eastway (or anywhere else) if needed...

Happy to help at the AGM Rob - Need to work out a way of generating current standings for the year as well on the day - I'll dig around at Dave's spreadsheets again.
