We have a possible 4th team entry from the Netherlands, a team from the Race Baan Club (SlotManege Link to site), hope to make the trip over in July .

Wim Vaason has being to Pinewood for a brief visit before and hopes to be able to make it on the 19th January for one of our Handout NSR Clio race nights , will be good to meet up with Wim and his family again .

I would expect 2 home teams (non-confirmed yet ), so only one team entry left . Still plenty of spaces left for the Mosler cup on the Sunday.

We will as planned start the event at 2.30pm, with a break mid distance for a food break , I will be looking to place a Papa John's pizza order for all . (I'm not paying for all of you mind ).

All the best for now, Paul C.

Hi Paul

Still plenty of spaces left for the Mosler cup on the Sunday.

Is that still the case and if so, what is the entry fee?

I have a few Moslers and wouldn't mind having a go. Would need to do some work on them to be competitive as I haven't driven one without the magnet (home track is Scaley). It's a long way down from here, but if I set off on Friday I could make it for Saturday - is there Mosler practice on Saturday?

Cheers
Dave

[Mr Croker]

Hi Dave

As Paul is working most of the hours in the day at the moment I'll give you an answer.

Yes to both. There will be practice on the Saturday morning and then Clios in the afternoon.

Sunday will be a good event. The standard cars go very well on the circuit although gluing and trueing the Ultragrips is a must.

[Slotcarmann]

Hi folks

Yes to both. There will be practice on the Saturday morning

Thanks for that, can you please pencil me in for the NSR Mosler event? I'll need the practice...! How much is the entry fee and do you want me to pay by cheque? If so, to whom is it payable and what are the address details, please?

I'll need to get the ferry over to either Heysham or preferably Liverpool (it's closer) and then down the M6/M5 - or is there a better route? Not quite sure of your exact location on the map, so I'll have a look at the AA website tonight.

Thanks for the tips on the tyres.

Cheers
Dave
