If you book the Stradey for Pembrey, tell them you are racing at the Trac, they give all racers a good discounted rate.....

Pembrey = Stradey Park Hotel Llanelli. Croft = Croft Spa Hotel (or the Travelodge on A1 South at Scotch Corner for the first night as you will be knackered after driving a million miles to the Far North). Oulton = Premier Inn, Sandiway Northwich next to the Blue Cap pub.
Not the Ritz - but many of us stay at these places...

The point is just to make sure you don't improve the aerodynamics by messing with the plates. Aesthetics are up to you. (I'm still working on a rear numberplate / diffuser design)

The regs say "Front number plates must be fitted vertically and self adhesive plates are not permitted. Standard UK number plates measuring approximately 525mm x 110mm must be fitted for racing and practice although these do not need to display the registration number of the vehicle.". So as far as racing is concerned, you just need a front plate of the right size and shape - it can display anything you like (names or sponsors' logos are common). Since I use my car on the road, I have standard UK plates and attach "show" plates with velcro / dual lock which have my name on them. That way it's easy to swap between the two, though I admit more than once I've accidently driven on the road with my race plates fitted.

I've seen all sorts on number plates including standard letters, vinyl letters in various fonts, stickers and more. The regs say the PLATES have to be standard size, but they don't say they have to be legal for road use. However, for legal reasons, it's your risk :-)

Number Plates: I am just getting some number plates made up, and see they have to be standard Number plate size, but does anyone know about the letters/numbers, do these need to be UK standard size or can show plates be used?

Classic Half-Shafts: Having had my Rakeway half-shafts fitted by MMM (big thank you to AndyMac and team, especially Kevin who fitted them on Thursday), I was able to try them out in earnest at Pembrey today. What a difference they have made! The car felt more stable and balanced, especially over the curbs. Even the serated ones that Pembrey are keen on. I normally stay well clear of curbs but today I had the confidence to attack them a bit more and managed to beat my previous best by... (well thats for me to know....:-). I must confess that I did check the half-shafts a few times by jacking up the rear (no Bish!) and giving them a good tug but there was absolutely no play at all. One thing though, Andy suggested that after a few laps it would be wise to check the wheel nuts while everything beds in. This I did and a couple needed a bit of a tweek (I said no Bish!). So I would recommend that all Classics do this the first time out before they potentially end up with a three wheeler. Overall conclusion is that they are well worth it. Roll on Pembrey.

New drivers for 2010: All drivers who are new to the club should have received an email last night from my email account coyote_x_11@hotmail.com. If you are new to the club and didn't receive it, check your junk/spam folders in the first instance and add me to your safe senders list (assuming you want to receive these emails!). And let me know if you still can't find it.
If any returning drivers from past years still want to receive the new drivers' emails in 2010, just drop me a line and I'll add you to the distribution.

SPARE DECALS 2010 Since Frostie has announced it I just wanted to warn you all that I shall be reinstating the old deal of charging for rear wing sets - £2 per set to go to TCT. 2 years ago this raised £300 so is worth doing and may make you all drive a little more carefully ..... now maybe that should be £200 per set to make sure

Trophies 2010:
I am delighted to report that Roger Ford has been volunteered to take over the trophy duties from Adam (see previous post). Many thanks to Roger and also to Adam for doing such a marvellous job for so long!
Decals:I am also delighted to announce that John Parker has volunteered to take on his role of a few years ago - "decal monitor": JP will be in charge of the in-paddock issuing of new decals whenever any of you carelessly knock off a wing and need a new set of decals. Thanks JP!
For all those who have contacted me about decals, in response to my earlier posting/mail, I am processing all your responses and you will hear back from me (if you asked a question!) shortly...!

Snetterton non-champ "licence signature"
races:
Regs and entry form are now available in our web-site's
"Competitor Info" section, here.
Note rule 9 of the Supplementary Regs which explains that priority will go to
those needing upgrade signatures in order to race at Zolder. Even so, it
could get full, and I urge anyone who expects to "need" these races to enter
promptly. Previous announcement here

Overalls, gloves, shoes and underwear in date and good condition? camera bought and instructions learnt?!?! Number Stickers bought? Harness in date and good condition? HANS device??? Spanner check! . ummmmm well I still have lots to do! Just thought I would remind you all that if you do need any of the kit mentioned above you can arrange this through me and msar-safety.com
We are proud to continue sponsoring this club!

On the subject of Zolder.. was about to book the ferry, but then the thought occurred that maybe one is not guaranteed a place (a la Spa). Nick, is there likely to be pressure on spaces, or can i book my ferry with confidence?

Zolder "safety" regs: FIA regs are a little more stringent in the area of safety, requiring full FIA-approved "Nomex" underwear, for example. But whether or not we have to comply with FIA for our Zolder races is not yet finalized! More later.
