Fancy a Sprint???
Discussion
Hi all.
Myself, Andrew and a few others are going to the SELOC sprint on Feb 15th. It's a timed event that runs on an airfield so there is only cones to hit should you "overcook" things
It seems like good fun, and it's quite easy to get the things you need (MSA license - but it's just a form, tick some boxes, fill in CC details and voila - no medical etc. needed), a suitable overall and helmet and that's it.
So if you fancy it why not have a look over at SELOC at http://forums.seloc.org/showevent.php?eid=178 (I think you'll need to register first on the main page) and come along.
Be quick though - it takes about 1-2 weeks for the license to come through (although there is a 3 day "rush job" option).
Finally - we have our own "Supercar" class - so it'll be just us against the odd 360 - but I'm sure we'll all be comparing times across all groups

As it's a sprint it's a timed event, so your insurers won't cover you personally for any damage to your car (although there really isn't anything to hit!)
Competition Car Insurance will probably do some for you - but it'll be expensive.
With regards to public liability - as it's an official SELOC event it's covered under their MSA PL insurance.
Full details are on SELOC and you can find the various threads on it that explain anything. If you still have questions get hold of one of the committee members (again you'll find their details on the site) and they'll tell you everything.

You only need the Speed - None Race National B license. £31. The others require a medical.
BTW - Proban suits can be had for £45.
Nice one Danny. Go and click on the SELOC link and add yourself to the list to ensure you have a place in the event.
Rob, all are welcome. There's a whole load of people from the Owners Club coming to lend support so the more people that turn up the better.
With Danny we've now 5 Noble drivers in our class so there'll be plenty of action. It'll be interesting to see the difference between the cars as we'll have 2.5, 3, 3R and we're all running slightly different setups as some are stock and others modified.
There's going to be allot of pressure on the 360 to put in a good time!

1st Practice 9.35am immediately followed by the 2nd Practice
Timed runs will commence immediately after the 2nd Practice run.
Full details are on the link above.
I believe we'll do as many runs as possible. There's ~40 cars running that day and with the exception of a few 'ringers' us amateurs will be spinning cars to keep people amused!
Wrap up well as it's an airfield and quite exposed.
