Been trying to persuade Wendy to go with the 40, but she is reluctant without me as crew! I think it would be neat if she did it, but she won't. I know Paul and Julian etc would look after her well. It's a shame it clashes with Britcar.

As Frank says - Get the entry in quick and you may still be lucky, but this event is one of those that fills VERY quickly and late entries are less likely to get in.
ALSO - whilst we are talking about Brighton speed trials - we intend to have a 'casual' meeting regarding next seasons competetive events. Brighton makes a great spectator event, so get yourself there to watch, or take part. I'll post else where as a reminder for the meeting to try to ensure we catch as many as possible....

Ray Christopher / Roy Wing in the Spyder
Dave Parker in the R42 (with a progressive Nos controller this time)
Martin Gough?? - go on, give it a go...
Robin Batt?? - might be a last blast before you sell it?
Andrew Fordyce?? - Mustang or E-Type to choose from...
Ian Catt?? - bringing his OMS Suzuki 1100?? (or going to Brands Hatch?)
Wendy MacAdam?? - go on - you'll get plenty of support from us..
Mick Sollis/Glen Mason?? - A Southern GT showing would be good..
Derek Bell?? - A showing of the GTD Lola T70 would be good too..
not forgetting the 'Master' Tony Marsh with his Twin Turbo GTD...
Anyone else....?

Looking at the weather, I'm not sure wet tyres will be adequate. Maybe I need to fit the fins instead!!

Wendy's entry has been accepted so is now a confirmed driver, I think the only girlie in a 40 this year as Martin and Mo are soon to be carless.

| Re: Brighton Speed Trials 8th SEP
For those interested, the entry list for Brighton Speed Trials can be viewed here: THE FROSTS BRIGHTON NATIONAL SPEED TRIALS
Also - we still intend to have a 'brief' meeting at lunchtime in the paddock to discuss proposed competetive events for 2008 together with format. Anyone interested in competing, helping or who has something to say they think might be useful, make yourself heard this coming SATURDAY 8th.
I propose we commence the meeting about 10-15 minutes after the start of Lunch Break and so we are not wondering where it will be, I suggest near RED GTD40 reg - A11GTD - YEP - Roy Smart's Mk1......
See you there...... I hope...... The more the merrier!!
ps -
Who's gonna win??? any predictions????
