Pomeroy Trophy

[Fishy Dave]

Is anyone else here entered? https://www.vscc.co.uk/page/events?eventID=1818

It's this Saturday, on Silverstone GP, free spectator entry too, although you need to book tickets in advance: https://www.silverstone.co.uk/events/vscc-pomeroy-...

I'm entered in the Corvette again, looking forward to it, although my tyres have done a lot of heat cycles over the last two years (a good excuse for plenty of oversteer).

Hope to see you , and best of luck. I’ve some good cast off tyres in 235/40/18 and 295/30/18 that might fit.

Fish eating Dave !

[Fishy Dave]

Thanks Dave, see you there. I do appreciate the offer, I run 265/35/18 fronts and 305/30/19 rears (the Corvette runs different diameter wheels front/rear).

I'm there on Sunday to help out with some cars my dad has rented out for the CSCC Modern Classics.

[Fishy Dave]

I shall see you on the Sunday, I'm working there.

[Lexparsimoniae]

Yes,
I’m entered in my Aston Martin DB Mk 3 and remember you passing me last year!
I suppose you have a working heater in your car….
Good luck !

[500TORQUES]

I'll be there again, enjoying such a unique event.

Best of luck with the C6 Dave, it was flying last year.

The weather is looking a bit more friendly for the Aston this year, still looks a tad on the nippy side though.

If anyone fancies a unique spectacle, pop down to Silverstone, it's very entertaining.

[Old Man Peabody]

We've got tickets, so should be there god willing.

First time for us and looking forward to it.

Shame it same weekend as Race Retro, a lot of target audience maybe going there!

Ah, is this your beauty that I was behind in scrutineering?



Yes, it has a good heater, I even had the air con regassed last week (optimistic).

See you there

What time does the Event finish?

[500TORQUES]

Last batch of cars starts at 3pm, so should be finished by 4pm.

[Lexparsimoniae]

Yes, that’s my Aston !
I’m in Batch 2 in the afternoon and it’s certain to be entertaining !
I thoroughly recommend the Pom as the eclectic mixture of cars is quite unique.

Could you let me in on a secret, where did you get the big bore Monza type flip filler from? I have been hunting everywhere. Good luck with the Pom, I have never done it, somehow the outlook for Feb never looks very good when the detail comes out in Dec!

[Lexparsimoniae]

Hi Keep it stiff;
You can try “car builder solutions “ for a Monza filler cap.
If you want to use it in modern competition then you will need a “bung” as well for safety.

Regards

Thanks.

I hope the Pom went well.

How did you get on in the Aston?

I've added my video and comments to my readers cars thread.

A very impressive drive indeed , and visibly faster than anything through Brooklands except the (race spec ) CSL . My first experience of the Pom, which turned out to be as eclectic as I had hoped. Where else do you find a ....umm .... well patinated Vauxhall Zafira competing against a GT 40 , a Frazer Nash and an Armstrong Siddeley in maximum attack mode? I suspect the ghost of Bill Boddy was hovering around the paddock , and possibly still droning on about The Track (aka Brooklands , of course).

An excellent CSCC race meeting on Sunday made the long trip worthwhile .

Thank you, much appreciated. Pleased you stayed on for the CSCC meeting too, we got even luckier with the weather, with a bit of sunshine for a while (not that it made things noticeably warmer).
