B.RAD Posted February 8, 2018 Share Posted February 8, 2018 I'm away at the moment but will enter the Mazda in class J for Blyton in July, maybe a couple of other events too, diary permitting. How many entries have you had so far? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kingster Posted February 8, 2018 Share Posted February 8, 2018 I’m still on the fence between more track days and having a go at sprinting. I guess the main put off right now is buying yet another lid. I already have two, but no FIA ones! Looking at the calendar, for me it would be Croft, Blyton, Harewood then Blyton again. I guess that would be enough for a taster? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mark.anson Posted February 19, 2018 Share Posted February 19, 2018 Right come on folks, Christmas is out of the way and the start of the Speed Series season is a matter of a few weeks away. As John says please get your registrations in ASAP as the official closing date is 9th March. Knowing numbers helps with ordering T shirts and stickers etc, so please sign up as soon as possible. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

In hindsight I wish I'd got a lot more seat time on track days before getting stuck into sprints. The learning curves for handling/lines Etc. are much steeper. But definitely do a couple of sprints if able, and there'll be plenty of help and loan ppe kit available. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

In my first years of sprinting with the Westie I was doing both. Often used to go across to Anglesey for a trackday on the friday followed by the sprint weekend, some brilliant times. Great fun. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kingster Posted February 19, 2018 Share Posted February 19, 2018 Yeah it all costs in terms of both money and, importantly for family, time. Just realised I need a licence before I can apply to do SS so better get that ASAP. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mark.anson Posted February 19, 2018 Share Posted February 19, 2018 Chris if you want to register for the SS and then get your licence later I'm sure that will be fine. Just let Comp Sec know yr licence number when you get it. Mark Anson SSOT. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kingster Posted February 21, 2018 Share Posted February 21, 2018 Ok registered now. Have to admit the MSA website application system is utterly pants (speaking as a professional web developer). Got thrown back to the start for missing a tick box but only once I’d filled everything in, then after going through yet again and eventually entering card details it threw me back and said I had to apply via post! Doesn’t encourage you one bit and I’m really having to persevere just to join in! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Don't ask how it works for the Spaniards ones, who have to deal with Spanish federation and MSA at the same time. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
