adamnreeves Posted September 27, 2011 Share Posted September 27, 2011 i knew one of the drivers there and they are told in the drivers brief that it is still classed as a open high way so the legal speed limit must be obeyed (90mph) oops i mean (60mph) sorry You could do that sideways up the hill Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CL290005 Posted September 27, 2011 Share Posted September 27, 2011 There were cars which were not historic going up the hill I am sure if the club approached they would consider this as a group. We could do with a contact on the committee Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Man On The Clapham Omnibus Posted September 28, 2011 Share Posted September 28, 2011 As the modern cars were mainly (exclusively?) Ferraris and Astons etc., I suspect that there was an arrangement with donations of folding stuff. JK, Chris Evans, the owner of Wycombe Wanders; all been there at various times and wouldn't miss a shilling or two. Nice idea though and I'll ask my daughter's partner who has lived in Risborough all his life and whose late Mum was a town councillor if he knows anyone on t'committee...

CL290005 Posted September 28, 2011 Share Posted September 28, 2011 I have sent an email to the organisers to ask the question, not holding my breath though! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
david.c Posted September 28, 2011 Share Posted September 28, 2011 That could be interesting Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Man On The Clapham Omnibus Posted October 5, 2011 Share Posted October 5, 2011 My local man (daughter's partner) says he knows a few people on the committee so I've asked him to have a word. I assume it would be a Thames Valley/Bucks, Herts and Beds joint venture? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Steven Thorne Posted October 5, 2011 Author Share Posted October 5, 2011 I see no reason why it shouldn't be a joint venture. We had hoped to make it an area run out this year but unfortunately both Tim and I had other comitments. Still I'm looking forward to next year Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Man On The Clapham Omnibus Posted October 5, 2011 Share Posted October 5, 2011 It seems that when I sent him the committee members' list he realised that knows only one, the principal organiser Peter Lewis, because he's done some IT work for him. He also says that he doesn't see him often so might not be able to help much. I'm afraid this idea could turn out to be a damp squib... Mike Greasby is the chap who should be approached, I think, as he's car-clubs member on the committee. I take it that your email to them resulted in a deafening silence Chris?

CL290005 Posted October 5, 2011 Share Posted October 5, 2011 I got a response, answer is no to going up the hill but could have parking area in paddock, perhaps we would have to do staged approach, increasing expectation each year. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
