It's a 1960s touring and sports car race I think, looking at the posters last time I was at Croft (think NSSCC circa 1960).

The Paper said:

One plan is to recreate the format of club races back in the 1960s and 70s when Bell raced his Mini against the likes of Andy Barton’s similar car and Alex Clacher’s Imp.

BTW. Car buying for NSSCC is underway........see you next year! (And thanks for chatting to us back in July).

there will also be a few Porkers -- Porsche Club have 2 races .

looking forward to it as it is my first time racing at Croft -- any suggestions for a good youtube vid to get in the zone?

ps but not looking forward to the drive up!

type into youtube "nsscc croft civic" - You need to find Pete Dixons honda civic. He uploads every race from in car so there's loads on there. He's just had his first class win at cadwell at the weekend. WELL DONE PETE!

Mark, so what have you gone for? full details please!!!

[stacy]

Would have liked to pop up there with the Mazda if I could, but it's my birthday on the 26th and I'll be in Italia instead.

Great circuit - enjoy.

Well, we haven't bought anything yet, but the budget seemed to spiral and we're now looking at 2 litre cars. At the moment a Clio seems likely. That's after we looked at XR2s, then a Mk1 MR2 (which we might have bought, but someone beat us to it) but Rich seems fixated on a Clio and I'm not too bothered as long as I get to race again.

[Dave^]

Does anyone have the full timetable as to what's happening each day?

I need to decide which day to go.....

Neither Croft's site or the DDMC site seems to give any details....

3. It was a lovely day for a Barbecue....

[Dave^]

Good pics...

I was there yesterday..... Jesus it was windy on the hills!!!

David Swales was lucky not to roll his Fiesta in the late afternoon..... but of course, me being the great photographer that I am, I was looking in the other direction when it happened, so no pics of him and his car at about 45° to the rest of the world....

Hopefully there wasn't too much damage to the car, although it was missing a rear wheel!!!
