Captain Colonial Posted December 5, 2013 Share Posted December 5, 2013 Terry, I said potentially illegal - re-read post #30. That's the official position, not going to debate it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Terryathome Posted December 5, 2013 Share Posted December 5, 2013 Mid Life, will let you know if I get anywhere with this but don't hold your breath. To many negatives flying about, might have to spend a few million buying a field on the top of Mount Everest and getting someone to tarmac it for me LOL. Would that be to far to travell for you?

Terryathome Posted December 5, 2013 Share Posted December 5, 2013 Scott, until proven illegal then it's legal. All I'm doing is contacting like minded people for information. Terry Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mid life crisis Posted December 5, 2013 Share Posted December 5, 2013 Terry the Autosolo at the Blackburn services was just like a mini sprint course, no use of reverse gear, just a quick blat against the clock. People had a go in their normal roadgoing cars. Just a bit of fun on a Sunday for not a lot of money. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Captain Colonial Posted December 5, 2013 Share Posted December 5, 2013 As I said Terry, not debating it. The club position is very clear as I've already outlined, and the committee will take whatever action is necessary to protect the club and its members from being exposed to unnecessary risk. If you have any questions on the subject, ask first before posting and the committee will be pleased to give advice. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Terryathome Posted December 5, 2013 Share Posted December 5, 2013 I have no questions for the committee on this subject. So in the interim and the fact that I consider this to be getting way off topic I understand that what I am doing will not put the WSCC as risk therefore the matter is closed. Mid Life, Thats sound OK to me. You got any more info on that? I guess Mount Everest is out then? Terry Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bispers Posted December 5, 2013 Share Posted December 5, 2013 Terry the Autosolo at the Blackburn services was just like a mini sprint course, no use of reverse gear, just a quick blat against the clock. People had a go in their normal roadgoing cars. Just a bit of fun on a Sunday for not a lot of money. You have summed that up well - first and second gear, forwards only, mix of abilities and all in a roadgoing cars - I have even seen a Volvo 760 Estate have a go! At Club level this is grassroots have-a-go Motorsport.... Here's an introductory video. http://m.youtube.com/watch?v=Juy3EnCy-Gc Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Terry I have no idea who did organise these events, but will do a bit of work to see if I can find out. At the time I was involved in the speed series, and concentrating on winning class A, and did not want to compromsise and stretch the car by entering any non ss events. I then totaled my engine and after the very expensive rebuild, have not got around to competing since. I know having in the past spoken to a number of North West owners, who would be interested in events like these, it would be good to investigate further.

Terryathome Posted December 5, 2013 Share Posted December 5, 2013 Bispers, if you could that would be much appreciated. In the mean time I will be turning up at Blackburn to see whats what, don't know what time at the moment but anybody else fancy a look? No Westy as will be dropping of the wifes sisters at Preston train station. Will be in Grey CRV, if anybody sees me introduce yourself. Just reading the regs and not sure if the R1R's are allowed but still have my old set of tyres which I will have to check if allowed.
