2004 Inaugural Meeting Feedback

'A race meeting at Anglesey in December? He must be crazy!' I never said that......honest!

A grand meeting, it showed what can be done without paying stupid sums in entry fees, though we had a few dramas, like my lad had his gear lever come adrift at the start of the 2nd race, steered with one hand and changed gear, eventually, by pulling and pushing the cable with the other. Still got past Steve Clegg in his F3 though. Pity we didn't make the 3rd race.
Obviously lots of hard work on your part and well worth the trip for us, thanks & hope it happens again

What a great day that was; incredible weather, superb racing


I agree with everyone elses comments, what a brilliant day, great racing and a really good atmosphere


First time I've done Anglesey !!! What a cracking day & some great racing . A lovely atmosphere & thanx to rescue crew & your xmas songs ( I haven't laughed so much in ages :-)
The club really looked after us & it was well worth the journey .I will definitely do it again


brilliant weekend thanks, some of the best racing seen all season. What a shame we got to wait another 12 months? for the next one!!!! cheers mate


Well, for all the softies that didn't come to Anglesey, you missed a cracker of a raceday!


12 races plus 45 minutes for lunch and a surprisingly mild temperature!
The Formula Ford racing was the best I have seen all season.

Ian,
The only upto 2000cc cars excluded by the MSA are "current" F3s'. Any other "upto 2000cc" cars are eligible.
I assume ride height would be free, as it is more like a Formula Libre race - a bit of winter fun - rather than the entrants being constrained by their own class's technical regs.
See you there.
Diz

Diz,
Could we run an ex Australian Ford Falcon V8 in the saloon car race??

Oh yes please.

I believe there are also races at Anglesey for V8 Saloons w/e 24/25 Oct. Richard Peacock is due to race an ex Mario Andretti IROC Camaro there. Info on this meeting can be obtained from the Circuit Office.

[Al Weyman]

How can he have an ex-Mario Andrettii Iroc when I have that car.:-). Fact is they were built for invited drivers who drew lots for their mount for the race so not one was specifically for any one driver. I do have one I am restoring actually and it is just about ex anyone who was anyone in motorsport in the late 70's.

Jokmg aside is that the car that Gerry Marshall was driving when he passed away.

[diz]

No idea Al, he's just racing it, he doesn't own it
I believe it is also ex Unser and ex somebody else American. Why don't you fetch your 'new' yellow beast up to play with him the week after next?

[Al Weyman]

I just entered for Pembrey the same weekend in the Post Historics, did'nt know it was on. Anglelsey is a bit of a slap for me to be honest as is Pembrey but at least the car is built to the CTCRC regs, tyres etc so I will probably be more competitve in with them than a catch all.

Getting back to the IROC and ex this and that, I actually have video footage (Havoc series) where Al Unser is driving my biege car and Mario Andretti is driving the black one and looses it at the front of the pack and takes half the field out. My car talkes a bump in the passengers side door but nothing serious and funnyly enough there is still a bump in the roll cage door bar on that side!

[jim69]

I have mentioned this to Mike Newton, he is interested as the car has just been rebuilt after its destruction at the Ring in 2003.
Where do I get entry forms for Anglesey?

[R59]

Isn't the V8 race the V8 Thunder series, where the cars have to run on road tyres?

And back to the race in December - can we run on slicks? - would you entertain a Thundersaloon in the race? It's got me thinking...

email ff1600.nw@ntlworld.com. They should also be downloadable from the Anglesey Circuit website later this week.
Tell Mike I said hello and look forward to seeing him again after all these years

Any tyres you like, as long as they are black and a Thundersaloon is more than welcome.

[blue nose]

Diz can you put a race on for Transit Lutons with six black tyres?

[Dave Brand]

I can hear the call on the radio now:

'Radar to control: van number two's dropped a fridge-freezer in the middle of the chicane!'

[JohnMiller]

Surely it already qualifies as a saloon, as long as it's got an MSA cage in and the lights are taped up?

Not sure why it has taken me so long to pick up on blue nose's post and Dave Brand will be disappointed that bluey won't be dropping any heavy domestic appliances onto the circuit. He is good at dropping them though, but only onto his hand

[diz]

Just for your info, credit / debit cards will not be processed, nor cheques banked until 24th November, so get your entries in now to be sure of getting on the grid.

[diz]

Where have all the Sports Cars and Saloon Cars gone?
Entries are only trickling in so far.

Just to recap for new readers. You get 3 races for your £100 entry fee Sun 4th December and if you want to test on the Saturday it is £65

If it is a saloon car, it is eligible for the Saloon Car races
If it is a sports car, it is eligible for the Sports Car races

Entry pack available from ff1600.nw@ntlworld.com

[graeme]

Could be some historics coming along - Simon Taylor's written a couple of paragraphs praising the meeting in this month's Motorsport

[Ian Sowman]

I didn't see Simon there last year.

[diz]

Journos don't need to be at an event to praise it - you should know that.
Word gets about.

[Ian Sowman]

If it was that good, he would have been there. Like I was. Perhaps we will see him this time.

Incidentally, hope you will have at least one Vee, and there is also some talk on the Combe forum about this meeting. Might get a few of their Saloon and GT lot.

Hopefully quite a few of the TVR Tvrcc racers are up for this so you should get some soon.

Im looking to try and get both of our cars there ( Tuscan and Tasmin)

We didnt run at anglesy this year and I love the place... can you get studded Ice tyres in 235/40 R 18 ?
