2008 Championship

:lol: :lol: :D :D The good news is that as of today there are only TWO spots left on the grid at the special price. We now have 23 prepaid entries for the coming season. However it was decided that there would be at least three spaces reserved at each race for those who wish to race on a race by race basis. The maximun grid size for 2008 is 28 at one venue. The rest are 30 plus.

Oops - time to panic, pull my finger out and sort out my paperwork :oops: - a cheque will be in the post to you this weekend Steve.....

Steve Panas · January 11, 2008, 17:49:25

Excellent. One place left.

That's extremely thoughtful of you Pete. You've made an old man very happy. He'll be happier still when he's confirmed a rentadrive for Silverstone...

Pete Sparrow · January 14, 2008, 17:05:13

No problem at all Frank. I don't normally make a habit of making old men happy but being a kind hearted kinda bloke I'll do anything if it makes you smile.
(I'm not offering myself out to anyone male over 40 BTW, don't starting getting the wrong idea, thank you)

Steve, according to my (last year's) book, maximum grid at Mallory is 30, as is the wee circuit at Oulton; the other circuits can take more.

Derek
It depends on how we are classed - if we are racing and sports racing cars up to 2000cc the we are at the lower figure, if we are "other classes" we are at the higher figure.
It all depends on the track licence , and probably what direction the wind is blowing at Colnbrook on the day!
We benefit from being "other classes at snetterton when calculating the maximum grid for the 24 hour race

Derek you are correct 30 is our minimum full grid size so we will adjust te amount of possible full season entries accordingly.

Derek Coghill · January 15, 2008, 10:25:09

Trevor, if we're "racing & sports cars up to 2000cc" then one prepaid person's going to be very disappointed.

Pete Sparrow · January 15, 2008, 10:36:08

Trev.
you are now officially 'the oricle' :wink:

Trevor Williams · January 15, 2008, 10:45:33

Pete
Surely you mean "the ar*ehole"?

Pete Sparrow · January 15, 2008, 10:56:49

I might have heard that said about you at times....

:lol: :lol: :lol:
The amount of prepaid grid slots has been increased by three to 28 now. This is due to unprecedented demand. This is the official entry so far. Phil and Pete have agreed to start at the back just for the overtaking!!

that's only 24
who are the other 4?
I really am getting seriously aroused now. Think I might start my training next week ready for the start of the season as I didn't do much last year. I'm sure The Golden Cross will welcome the business.

Pete Sparrow · January 15, 2008, 13:29:13
