Derby Notts Monthly Pub Meet! 7pm on 6th June @ The Clock Warehouse

[Rob Hunter - Club Secretary]

After our amazing time at Malvern this weekend and with the WSCC Sprint Series rounds coming up at Mallory and Curborough we have plenty to chat about this month!

 

As normal we will be at the Clock Warehouse (DE72 2GL) for 7pm, parking in the lower right car park and will be in the upstairs room for a bevvy and some food.

 

Hopefully the weather gods are kind and we get some cars out (but tintops always welcome too!).

 

If you've never been to the pub meet, regardless of if you're in build, thinking of buying, just starting out with ownership, had a car for 20 years, or just considering joining the club you will be warmly welcomed by a bunch of fellow petrolheads!

Brilliant evening again last night!

 

I wasn't sure what the turnout would be like given a load of us had just been away at Malvern but I needn't have worried! 

 

Colin, Hedley and I met up in Swadlincote before a really enjoyable blat up the quiet local B roads.

 

It wasn't long after arriving, the cars and members started piling in! We ended up with one Luego, 10 Westfields and a TR6 plus over twenty people and three dogs 😂

 

One full car park!

 

One full pub!

 

We had loads to chat about with the Sprint Series coming to our area this which we will he going along to support. Dates for the diary:

• 23rd June @ Mallory Park. Tickets are £8 per person and can be booked here  https://www.malloryparkcircuit.com/event/msuk-sprint-featuring-the-british-sprint-championship-2024-06-23/2024-06-23/
• 29th and 30th June @ Curborough. Double header on Saturday and Sunday, spectators are free as is usual at the Curburgring.

 

We spent ages in the car park with an amazing mix of cars with almost every engine imaginable.... a Vauxhall redtop, two Pinto's (one on bike carbs, one on Webers), a Sport250, a 1.6 ecoboost, Mazda 1.8 turbo, two 1.8 Zetecs (one on bike carbs, and one on ITB's), two 2.0 Zetecs (one supercharged, one on ITB's) and an S2000.

 

New bike carbs on the 1.8 zetec:

 

1.6 ecoboost... running 220bhp but about to be upgraded to 300+!!!

 

A few of us had a long chat with Malcolm who has just finished his build and is about to book his IVA (exciting times!). We have obviously offered our collective support to get a few experienced eyes on the car before the test. Can't wait to see the Westfield Racing Green car on the road 👍

 

Really great to see everyone, hope you all got home safe and hope to see you at the next meet 👍
