750 Motor @ Brands Hatch 29Th April

[SootySport]

Simple, Go to O2 sort tickets, straight down A21 to Brands.

If only it were that simple. I can only get the tickets a few hours before the gig.

The only option would be to go the opposite way and go to Brands for the morning and head up the A2 afterwards to the O2.

The problem is that seen as I have to meet the brother/sister in laws there we may as well meet up for lunch and I drop them there.

I'll work out all thd logistics nearer the time but I would have taken the Westfield along and that's not likely now so I think it's going to be too much messing about to be worthwhile.

[Pistol Pete]

Presume most people are heading down the A12 for this, anybody fancy a Colchester and Chelmsford meeting point?

Everybody ok with parking on the South Bank? - don't think it will be too busy for Club Motorsport, usual charge is £5.

Pete, I'll check it out tomorrow as I'm at Brands for the Trucks but I'm not sure if I'll be able to get the westfield onto the south bank, it was a somewhat tortuous potholed route the last time I was round there

That said, the long range weather forecast is such that I may end up taking the Golf so then it wont be an issue.

[Pistol Pete]

Enjoy the trucks, went last year and they are quite a sight.

Cheers yes you're not wrong, I've seen them a few times now and the support races with the legends are always entertaining.

As promised I did a quick recky on Sunday and for those thinking of taking their westfields the route round to south bank looks ok. MSV appear to have been busy tarmacing, so all good there, just watch your ground clearance when crossing the bridges over the GP circuit as the transition on the ramps looks a bit marginal.

ATM the weather still isn't looking to bright, so I'm making the decision to tin-top it there myself. I've got a lot of jobs to do to the Westfield before Stoneleigh and not many free hours so that way I can use Saturday to bond on my new cycle wings and glass them in place, then I can leave them to cure on Sunday while I'm at Brands

[Fat Thor]

Not sure wether I can get to this, weather looks pants and the Mrs is taking the tin top elsewhere.

[Mark (smokey mow)]

Humm, looks like the forecast is still pretty crap for the weekend what's your thoughts for this Pete/Kevin? are you still thinking of going? or shall we bail (no pun intended) and reschedule for the Snetterton round on October 7th?

[Pistol Pete]

I have my boys so will a) be going in the tin top and b) going whatever the weather.

I think Kevin is out as he's picking up tickets at the O2.

The weather does look a bit naff, I just hope it cheers up for next week.

Ok, we'll I hope to still be there then unless it turns even more moist than at present, my Dad was also originally planning to come along too. Wrap up warm, it was pretty darn cold last weekend.

Oops it's getting late, I meant Matt

[kevip6]

Yes I'm out unfortunately. I thought I had convinced the wife and in laws to come and watch a bit before we have to head off the O2 but at £13 a ticket and a good chance of getting wet they decided against it

Shame as I would love to go and I've not been before. I'll def keep 7th October free if people are up for it.

[Matt F]

I'll still be going but in the tin top as dont want to chance the weather, I should be able to get us into the pit garage in the morning while my workmates brother is racing if anyone wants to. Do those still going want to meet up at Brook Street or there?

[Mark (smokey mow)]

Sorry chaps but I'm going to have to bow out

I've just got back in from the garage working on the car and I'm very rapidly running out of hours to try and get it ready in time for Stoneleigh since it's not looking like being great weather on Sunday I'm going to use the day instead to hopefully finish the car so i won't have to work the week evenings

Have fun and keep dry

[KugaWestie]

What up with the car Mark?
