There is more information to be found HERE on the castle coombe website. 

As there is the facility for a club booking system then why not register interest here and I'll complete the form on behalf of the club and submit it. All I will need is the vehicle reg/type. Its free but the camping isnt cheap.

I'm not too sure they have proper roads in Wiltshire but I guess were gonna find out :)

[James Doulton]

Those cars are from the Bristol Kit Car Club. They knew about it since the end of February and some of them went along for the photo shoot on a very cold 11th March. The sky wasn't that colour at all! I hadn't logged in since Christmas, so I didn't know about it. Doh!

[Adrian Southgate]

I'm guessing you'll be along for this one then James :)

[James Doulton]

Yes. It is 20 miles from me, mostly motorway - well within my Legerra's confidence radius. So that is a 2 litre Dutton Legerra Q385FDF.

[Adrian Southgate]

2 legerra's then, any advance on 2?  Daryl? which one of the 6 are you bringing?

[Paul Sheridan]

This show could be the debut for my Phaeton as I wont get to Stoneleigh.

[John Allen]

sounds like no-ones there! shame really! I might not bother myself now.

[James Doulton]

Surely the cost of entry is nothing compared to the cost of the fuel to get there in the TVR. Besides, weren't you supposed to be setting the level for the sound off?

[1midz0wwbl268]

There is a very good chance that i could make this also,  i will be at stoneleigh, but without the car ,as there isnt enough time  between getting it MOTed and sorted out so its reliable but by July i will have it all sorted, plus i can break my journey on the way there and stay with my brother in Swindon.for a couple of days  but i expect i will have a passenger if i do, his son,   

[James Doulton]

Apart from a strict noise limit, are there any other special features that we need like twin throttle springs, fire extinguisher, battery cut off, etc?

[Adrian Southgate]

Not sure James. You'd be daft if you ran a plastic car without a decent extinguisher to hand, take it from me I know about fires in kit cars now... :(

You may need a bonce bucket for the fast runs, you used to have to use a crash helmet at Donington. It would be nice to have a session all to ourselves, just duttons belting round the circuit would be fun.

[James Doulton]

So is it just you and me then Ade? Is no one else coming to Castle Coombe? Who is going with the SW Duttons? If we don't have enough to get a DOC track session then I wonder if we could join in with another group - the Bristol Kit Car Club have 18 people going so far so we might be able to tag along with them. The track is nearly 2 miles long so I expect that it can take 25 cars or more.
