A wonderful idea but, alas, it is with reluctance that I can't add my name to the list of competitors for the Gaydon Wales & West. By the time I've sneaked my wallet past my wife, convinced her that I'm not taking more than a tenner to spend on cars, loaded my rucksack with tablets, wet-wipes, anti-rash cream and Belgian buns half the day will have gone, and it will be time for Crackerjack.

Last year was bad enough and she still doesn't believe that my Slot It 956 Porsche was only a quid. Just what has a bloke gotta do, eh? Anyone would think I spend my life messing about with toy cars... Life was so much simpler when I was only... 45.

Got home from Gaydon last year and I knew I was in for a roasting, so I donned my best, silly hat, and spoke in Serbo-Croat by way of reply. It didn't work so don't try it. My left ear is still twice its normal size, but a different shape from original.

But, I shouldn't complain. At least she hasn't hidden my walking sticks yet. Ah, such happy days.

Yours for imagining a long existence without reason

Any idea of the timing for Sunday yet Steve.

I`ve got my ticket but wondered if we need to get in early for practice.
As there is so much to see and do I don`t want to waste a minute of the day.

Steve

Are you allowing guests to enter this round? If so can we have entries for Roland Brooks, Matt Brice and Jonathan White. A long time since I've raced on the old Llantrissant track would be good to see if I still remember which way it goes!

Regards

Sorry Roly only just seen your post. You are always welcome, as is Matt and Johnathan.
Didnt see you there yesterday, did you decide not to attend?

Could I also take this opportunity in Thanking Shaun for sponsoring this event and for all the work Nick put into getting the track back to its former glory. Also for Craigs help in getting al the lap times logged down. Not forgetting everyones support for the event, without you there wouldnt be any racing!!.
It was really nice to race on the old track again. It was probably the best it ever ran, no continuity problems and all the joints have been sorted.
I will post the results later on for everyone to see how they performed.

Best regards,

Steve.

Hi John,

No problem, pity your car lost a braid, I think you woukd have been a lot closer to the top if it wasnt for that.
Just make sure it doesnt happen when theres points up for grabs!!

Yes bad prep on my part

Alan came over to Oxford last night and we tested track with his power supply and it ran well at 14volts.
It did seem slow to what we are used to but racing should be a bit closer though
