Gilles if your in Kent come to Lydden Hill for an excellent days racing!

A mixture of Long Circuit racing featuring the heinz 57 that is the Dunlop Track and Race Car Saloon Championship and short oval racing featuring ministox, CAMSO V8's, RDC Hot rods and alsorts. We even have the 7.5 tonne trucks appearing. Cost is just £9 for a full days action. We also have the Radio Invicta Girls there handing out goodies.

That's another place that I haven't been to for quite a while, infact it was the last time that the gearbox karts had a British championship round there back around ten years a go.
Watching cars race there always looked strange to me as they looked very big and cumbersome compared to karts. Sounds like an interesting thought though Chezza and keeps me away from the M25, M1, traffic et al !

There will, in fact, be 36 races, so no chance of getting bored.

How many have you entered Rod? Are you out in the Camsos again? (or a truck this year?)

Rod Birley · 5 Sep 2006, 08:15 (Ref:1702081)

Tried hard to find a truck for me and David Oates, even Barry Lee was looking. Hopefully I will be racing a Pontiac V8 in the Camso races, as will John Cross in his Mercedes V8.

Should be interesting

Gilles lives! · 5 Sep 2006, 17:34 (Ref:1702519)

Hi Chezza, is there a link to a timetable/list of events for the day anywhere?

Quite!

I tend to remember it being run as the Festival of Motorsport in the past as well... Are we changing to a (Hairy) Hill Climb format for this year??!!......

Since there is such a large number of races it would be nice if someone who knows (IF anyone knows - surely they must by now?) could post a timetable somewhere? Keep checking Rods, Lyddens (yeah right!!), and the RDC websites but nowt.....

I have found the other thread on the event which has the link to the event poster that chezza posted:

http://tentenths.com/forum/showthrea...93#post1678793

This gives a rough schedule to the day's events.

jonbryant · 5 Sep 2006, 21:56 (Ref:1702793)

Really looking forward to this one. I'll be there with my camera so I'll put the link up a couple of days afterwards.

I mean... trucks!!! Round Lydden! Marvellous.

Suze · 6 Sep 2006, 09:13 (Ref:1703044)

Why's it in the title as it being for 6th Sept...?!

chezza · 6 Sep 2006, 10:09 (Ref:1703098)

I don't know I will beat up Asp in a mo or three and get him to change it.

Practice in the morning for the long circuit starts at 9am with racing from 10am. Once the long circuit racing has finished there will be a lunch break and then the oval stuff/trucks will start!

Awww it would have been great to have Barry there!! Such a character!

Suze · 6 Sep 2006, 10:25 (Ref:1703123)

I guess was when thread was split (presume it was from start) but was quite amusing.

Can't make it on Sat so may head to Rockingham for the oval stuff on Sunday

chezza · 6 Sep 2006, 10:41 (Ref:1703140)

This was split from the Britcar thread.

That's better

chezza · 6 Sep 2006, 11:02 (Ref:1703161)

Thank you dear!!

Getting more and more entries for this meeting should be great, and I can't wait!!

andypipe · 6 Sep 2006, 13:36 (Ref:1703317)

It makes me laugh when you refer to the long circuit. Surley the words long circuit and Lydden Hill can never be in the same sentence

chezza · 6 Sep 2006, 13:53 (Ref:1703328)

Yes it is a bit of a contradiction in terms really, but thats technically what it is!

Suze · 6 Sep 2006, 13:54 (Ref:1703330)

What's the lap time for the short circuit..?

chezza · 6 Sep 2006, 19:03 (Ref:1703618)

Well the circuit it a twisty mile long, so not a lot!

Suze · 6 Sep 2006, 19:41 (Ref:1703671)

Yes I know that....wondered what the time was though!

chezza · 6 Sep 2006, 19:43 (Ref:1703678)

I haven't got the results to hand from the last meeting...i'd say about 30-40 secs maybe.
