SteveC Posted July 16, 2004 Share Posted July 16, 2004 yep as the man says, Sat Sept 11th. Will be competing there again this year, top event. I would think too late for entries, but great spectating, and a day out by the sea Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
iManagebob Posted July 18, 2004 Author Share Posted July 18, 2004 Watched it for many years as we live inland a bit from Brighton. Got my SVA next week on a Megabusa, so definately have the speed trial as a goal! How doficult is it to get involved with it?

SteveC Posted July 18, 2004 Share Posted July 18, 2004 Easy. same as a normal sprint, same rules apply for entries!but if you only have a B grade licence you can only do the Brighton and Hove members runs, which you only get 2 goes, if you have an A grade licence it runs like a normal sprint, 2 practice and 2 time runs. Next year is the 100th event, good one to get involved with, but entries fill up VERY quickly. Will help if you joing the BHMC as they will automatically send you the entry form.

peterg Posted July 18, 2004 Share Posted July 18, 2004 Will help if you joing the BHMC as they will automatically send you the entry form No, they won't.....UNLESS you competed the previous year Entry forms go out at beginning of June and it's always oversubscribed I went over to Tony Jonhstones's house, got an entry form, filled the form in and gave it back to him there and then so I'm in - at last, an event that only takes 20 minuest to get to!!

SteveC Posted July 20, 2004 Share Posted July 20, 2004 your right on the number of runs Derek, my memory, you know how it is at that certain age...... Always a top day out though Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cunning-stunt Posted July 26, 2004 Share Posted July 26, 2004 I can't seem to find the BHMC website (if there is one). Has anyone got a contact address for it for joining the club with respect to doin the speed trial next year? Cheers, Oli Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

cunning-stunt Posted July 27, 2004 Share Posted July 27, 2004 Cheers Steve What sort of time would you think an R1 powered Locost weighin 500kg (that includes driver) running on A032s or ACB10s would run at Brighton? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gee_fin Posted July 30, 2004 Share Posted July 30, 2004 13.05s I reckon... Brighton is about 0.7s slower than most drag circuits as the surface is very slippy. Be sure to clarify 100% before the event which group you're in - we had a lot of issues with being told we had to go sports-libre then road-legal then sports-libre and back and forth. You should end up in the road-legal under 1100cc group, mainly with race-spec Mini's. Class record is a 12.75s which should really be beaten next time out. Most of the other people in the class tend to run slicks but being a road-legal class I'd stick with ACB10s so you're within the regs Graeme.

cunning-stunt Posted July 31, 2004 Share Posted July 31, 2004 Cheers Graeme, I'd be chuffed with a 13 sec run! The problem I'd have with the class I'd enter in, would be that my car is technically not road registered legally. It has been on the road with the previous owner but registered as the escort it was made from! So its got number plates, but I havn't had it on the road. So the question is do they check that u have current tax and mot to prove its on the road now, or can I get away with sayin it has been on the road but not at the moment? Thanks, Oli Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
