Only because of where Iam based right in the corner of the south east near Dover.  I don’t mind driving it but a trailer would be easier

You don’t ‘need’ a trailer, yes it makes life a lot easier, but back in the day there were plenty of folks who drove to events in their Westfields!

 

Spot on Alex, I can remember Mark Leybourne driving from Darlington down to Pembrey for a weekend's sprinting. Only a 300 mile and at least 6hr journey.

There were when I started sprinting, but numbers tailed off as road going regs favoured more track specific cars and tyres.

I think I was the last competitor driving to sprints (a windscreen and hood helped), and I hired/borrowed trailer for some.

It's definitely an extra challenge knowing an 'incident' could have an impact on getting home! But very rewarding.
