I do hope so. I think this is after Ultimate Dubs weekend, so should be OK.

I'm up there tomorrow for an autosolo. Hopefully I can make this as well, last time this was running my car fell apart which didn't help matters.

Gareth I think I spotted you 'making progress' into Tesco's one event this week, unless it's another black monaro lurking about these parts...

Thought I recognised your name...sxoc, way back in 2007 to to date. Were you heading along to this? I might have my 200 up and running by then, it's only been in bits for 7 years. (avinall on sxoc)

Cheers

Wouldn't you be better off entering the Great Western Sprint at Castle Combe on the same day with that sports racer?

Andy , i just need to make sure that i can get all the gears ,the brakes work ok ect ,i am probably going to end up turning up at wiscombe having not turned a wheel since last year ,but having put a new engine in and various other changes i just wanted a little run out beforehand ,
didnt realise it was the same day as the sprint at combe so will be coming up there to see whats going on will come say hi if you are there .

As long as the vehicle is safe and passes the scrutineer test then it will be fine. The car does not need to be road legal to run, just safe.
