the final round of this years Toyota Sprint takes place on saturday 25th October
for all those who would like to pop along and see me and the Starlet in action
It would be lovely to see some fellow Loc'cers, support is always welcome and sometimes needed

this round of the event has a bit of a twist !
in the fact that it is being run at night in the dark

doors open at 1pm and racing begins at 4pm running through to 11pm

address:
Teesside Autodrome
South Tees Motor Sports Park
South Bank Road
Middlesbrough
TS6 6XH

Quite strange that, being dark at night

About 150 miles from here matey will let you know mate before the end of the week if i can make it?

limited to 60mph with a trailer

ill defo come if chris wants to.are you guys staying over?

sounds good.you having a night out on saturday after the racing?

to be honest probably not, we wont get back to the hotel until about 12 and we need a bit of rest before the trip home
we will be up till late on the friday night though

Good luck Barrie.............I'm sure you'll batter your nemisis !!

Eating lots of carrots I hope

just done another route and got it down to about 150 miles matey

just got back !

took 8 hrs to get up there, so many traffic jams
and just over 5 coming home

we all arrived at teesside autodrome on the saturday, with high winds and rain on the way, all looking forward to a nights racing
after a couple of sighting laps and a few practice laps, the night finally arrived along with the rain, and the proper racing started
1st lap out i managed to break the joint in the exhaust, with the middle section hanging down and forwards, managed to limp it back to the pits
with a bit of help from fellow competitors we managed to clamp it up,( all but on about 10mm of pipe )!
2nd lap managed to cross the finish line only for it to break again, again with many hands of help we got it back together again
3rd run lasted about 300 yds before it went again, we spent about an hour underneath in the rain and dark before we decided it wasnt going to run again
the force of it being pushed forwards into the ground had shifted everything back and bent up the pipe to the point where it wasnt round at all

so it wasnt the best day for me

but.....once again the weekend was made by the fantastic crowd that have made up the series, they really are the friendliest bunch, always willing to lend a hand or help in one way or another
any one who is thinking of entering next year, really should, i can highly recommend it

commiserations.

Concur about the people in the series........


Should have more Lexi having a bash IMHO............£90 an event with a minimum of 8 timed runs..............wicked
