Having spoken to several people recently who we haven't seen at many races in 2004 they are very keen to race in 2005 given the reduced number of weekend.

Additionally, now people know what happened to the cam and how to rectify it, this may encourage further attendees.

However, having stood on the pit wall for numerous hours I'm not keen on the idea of having the Belgium cars mixed in with our standard 2cv's. It is likely to make us look very slow and reduce the number of people wanting to come and see us at a normal race. Remember they can do circa 100 mph whilst we averaged circa 56 mph at this years race !!!!

However, having a 2-3 hour enduro for prototypes prior to our race would be a good idea.

Hopefully my positives outweigh the negatives.

Oh and as a side note, at the international last weekend the subject of us racing at Knockhill when the world meeting is on in kelso was received positively. General consensus was that people would be very willing to go in a convoy up to knockhill to watch the race.
