Looking at the grid, it looks like it's going to be great day.
Still places left, for racers.
I'm no22, against a AC SuperBlower, should be a good race, but they may change still change it.

Interesting that they say about trackday insurance in the text, when I can 100% guarantee that won't cover anything.
Always check for liability insurance with these things. If you get hit by the other 'racer' you might not have a leg to stand on...literally.
For me going on any track is a risk, but I will not have extra insurance.Always check for liability insurance with these things. If you get hit by the other 'racer' you might not have a leg to stand on...literally.
In this race, there are only two cars on the circuit, They are both being timed.
The cars start at opposite ends of the track, & do only 3 laps.
If one car/driver was that much faster, to find himself in a position to overtake the other car in only 3 laps,
it should be very easy to get by, & i'm sure the slower cars would move well over,
to let the faster car past.

Dear All,
It is with great regret that we have had to cancel our August Charityball Rally event.Planned to be held This Bank Holiday 30th August.
Due to various reasons, drivers have been dropping out like flies, with all sorts of excuses etc. However the bottom line is we still wanted to go ahead with the event and up to this Saturday things still looked shaky and downsized but all intensions to go ahead with the event.
However the final straw was when all the Nissan guys pulled out, leaving us with a spartan grid of about nineteen cars ( ten of being my friends from the Gti Golf racing club we have started) . The Mini Club had requested a parade drive but none wanted to Race, The Ferrari guys in fairness tried as hard as they could but the final number resembled five cars.
So when we made all the calls on reserved and unpaid places on Friday the upshot was that it would only be about 10-19 cars, you can see hardly a show.I could not expect locals to come and watch 10-19 cars race when all the advertising indicated 100 cars.
I now have the un-enviable task of notifying the Cheerleading group who have been practising since about May, The Chromatic pop group who reserved the date for us. The F1 cars suppliers and the drift car champ. I also have to notify my personal friend Eddie Kidd from motorcycle jump frame , who was intending to do some parade laps on his quad bike for the first time since his accident. And the heartbreaking call i have to make to Breakthrough Breast Cancer to let them know. The reason we put this on was to benefit them.
I can only apologise wholeheartedly to yourselves who actually paid in full for the event, reserved time off like us to do it.
All your monies wiil be returned to you, with a personal apology this week.
On a personal note i still cannot believe that nobody ( others not your goodselves ) seems interested in racing there car for a fun dayout and for a great charity.If its a recession thing i can understand but its not that bad out there is it? i would pull someones arms off to race a car at a track for £50 . And i feel i would have been better off giving the Charity the money i have personally invested in this event, than the amount that it would now be raising.
Please check the website for updates www.charityballevents.com
And once again my sincere humblest apologies.
