Title: Drivers looking for seats in the 24hr
Post by: Chris Yates on February 25, 2019, 21:53:59
At Race Retro we had a number of people ask about drives in the 24hr race.

Lee - looking for drive. Has done hillclimbs
Howard - looking for a drive. Novice racer
Richard - looking for a drive. Novice racer
Nick - looking for 2 x drives. Experienced racer in classic Fiestas.
Martyn - looking for 2 x drives. Experience unknown

Additionally, 2 more people are looking to buy cars for the 24hr race (at least)

Let me or Alec know if you need drivers, or if you know of any cars for sale!

It was really good to meet several club members on the stand. You were all so helpful and enthusiastic.

Looking at the regs, the deadline for entries for the 24 hour race is 1 March - this Friday. Is there any flex on this, or is it a firm deadline?

Is it not the deadline for early bird (i.e. discounted) entries?

I've sent Howard an email explaining the situation that the 1st of March is the 'early bird' deadline for just the 24hr race. You can still enter the 24hr race right up until early august, but you don't get such an attractive discount as if you enter before the 1st of March.

Similarly for the sprints there's an 'early bird discount'. which finishes on the 15th. You can still enter races after that, but it costs a little more.
