s2rrr Posted August 20, 2013 Share Posted August 20, 2013 Could the event drivers allow someone else who is not competing to drive there cars. This may avoid drivers actually driving and allow more cars on the parade with the proper driver passengering. I can however understand not wanting to allow your pride and joy out in others hands but its only a parade lap or two. You would need two seats though.

pickmaster Andy Lowe Posted August 21, 2013 Share Posted August 21, 2013 It might be worth anyone not driving a Westfield to the event still packing there driving licence just incase spare drivers are need for the parade lap Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Terry Everall Posted August 21, 2013 Share Posted August 21, 2013 Competitors have not received any details yet about the parade laps. I guess its sadly a No No according to what we know so far Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dave Eastwood (Gadgetman) - Club Chairman Posted August 21, 2013 Author Share Posted August 21, 2013 Tel, I have had several weeks seeing if we could allow competitors to drive, as I know so many were looking forward to it, but I'm afraid it's a straight, absolute, no. Competitors in the sprint event may take part as passengers, either in their own or another car. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pickmaster Andy Lowe Posted August 21, 2013 Share Posted August 21, 2013 Hi Terry It's a underlined note on page 4 of the regs detailing competitors not driving parade lap I even thought driving reversed course but its a no go Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dave Eastwood (Gadgetman) - Club Chairman Posted August 21, 2013 Author Share Posted August 21, 2013 Please remember that this was an offer graciously made by Sarah on behalf of the LCCC and MGCC, in recognition of the support of our club over the years, and with the hope of providing those that go along to spectate rather than compete an "experience", and to hopefully encourage some fresh faces along to check out sprinting. It's an MSA event, so has to be run under the MSA's instructions, and those helping us in the paddock, driving pace cars and at track side, are volunteers from the all ready very busy group of volunteers who staff the days motorsport, and who are now also giving up their lunch time for us.

pete g Posted August 21, 2013 Share Posted August 21, 2013 maybe I will let some one drive mine if I have no problems on the day be good to see it go around from the track side Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Paul Morcom Posted August 21, 2013 Share Posted August 21, 2013 maybe I will let some one drive mine if I have no problems on the day be good to see it go around from the track side Hearing them crunch your sequential box from the track side will also be good. Even better if my fastest competitive run is quicker than yours Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
