Ah, Mr Kemp! I had a very 'Perry McArthy' conversation with your old man the other day. I rang HHC and asked to speak to someone about sponsorship for the Tuscan Challenge. He said 'great, how much do you want to sponsor us'

One of my more amusing dead end conversations!

How many rounds are you hoping to do?

Regards

Andy

Just one question - which race is VBH doing? Looks like us kiddies are about to become men

I take it VBH is having a bash in a G then, with the rest of you girls?....

Are you testing on Tues, Rich?

[daydreamer]

Not allowed . Testing ban for a month prior to all of the races to keep the costs (financial and time) down.

Be fun then on Saturday - first time at Donnington for seven years will be qualifying! See you for a cuppa under your awning .

Will be there in blue Chimaera 500 reg TVR 123. Will be there Sat/Sun as i'm racing in Ginetta. Definately worth watching as it's a full 32 car grid and is very close racing. I'll be in a red Ginetta, number 1, if anyone wants to pop over in the paddock.

That's odd. There were 2 or 3 testing at Brands last week.....

[chipp]

Andy that is quite correct you can guess witch way any sponsorship is going as regards that one!

I am obviously at Donington and will definitely be doing croft. Thinking very seriously about Oulton too.

Its down to time really, I am at uni in Newcastle with end of year exams looming! But will try and do as may as I can and pops allows.

Are you doing any testing at Donington next week? If so are you there on the Tuesday or the Thursday?

Cheers Charlie

1 month ban prior to any race - so I can't go to Donnington in March etc.

Basically set up to stop it being a three day weekend - so not a bad idea - could just get a little interesting three laps into qualifying .

Gav - are you racing all year this year (sorry - forum hijack ).
