COST              £135 per team of 4, preferably 5, drivers so £27 to £34 each

Here’s the 2014 Inter-Area Challenge ……… to follow last year’s highly successful day. WHEN WE HAD the maximum of 10 TEAMS competing and  I seem to remember that my Cotswold AO’s Select team definitely did not win and was well beaten by Ken Robson’s p********'n’Broke team and then the Welsh Border Reivers followed by Tony Sighe and Tom Frankland’s Swindon Skidmarks team was third ………….. 

TEAMS          We hope that in addition to Westfield area teams TVRCC will repeat their entry ,Ian, as will BKCC please Ken -- you are always welcome although we may have to handicap you with weights this year!!!  Colin can you get those Rolling Road blocks out again? We certainly hope for Thames Valley to be in action and what happened to Hants and Wilts, Tim and Steve? What happened to Mark Purves and his Chiltern Super 7’s?, Thames Valley Stompers were certainly there!

THE TRACK & THE KARTS     The track is unchanged at 550m length (the longest in the South-West!) and this year they have new GT2 270cc SODI Karts with improved chassis and Aero features would you believe – these won’t take off but may look smarter!  Please look at their website and see what you think

FORMAT                  As last year we have opted for the 2 hour Enduro format where we get the track exclusively to ourselves. We get some practice sessions followed by the Enduro competition with team drivers sharing the time. Maximum number of team/karts on the track is 10.

FOOD                                 The format changed last year to their in-house hot food bar – pretty satisfactory if you choose and place your order in time for the end of the Enduro session.

TROPHY                  Naturally enough the winning team will be awarded an astounding trophy to cherish!

TERMS OF BUSINESS         each team needs to send in their 50% DEPOSIT cheque  to Karen Bartlett -- 50% of £135 say £67 with their booking --- please note that this is non-returnable (that should concentrate the minds!).

Once again it will be a fun day and scrape some of the rust off our driving skills. It should be a fun day!!! Do contact me with any refinements or comments.
