Steve
"additional dates"
Are these for practice, none counting, or proper days out?

[Steve Wilkinson]

The 'additional' sprint dates are for information.

They are not part of the championship and are not practice days, although judging by your last performance you need it!!!!!!!

What's this I have heard on the grapevine about a Teaboy sharing the Dellaria in 2005? Will he fit?

I'll be posting more sprint dates on this thread which like the additional dates previously posted will NOT be part of the British Sprint Championship

[Mr Shed]

That's not kind just before Christmas, your present's just hit the bin.
Don't know about any rumours, "your sauce could be out of date" check the lid. What is for sure is Teammegashed & associates will be in attendance in various forms throughout 2005. What/where is Bishopscourt

[Steve Wilkinson]

Shed old buddy - lorst yer sense of humour? Bah Humbug!

Let's start with the obvious - Bishopscourt is in Northern Ireland

If you head South from Kirkistown you end at at Portaferry.

You cross over on the ferry to Strangford and then it is about two/three miles further South.

There is a possibility that we will be doing Bishopscourt on the Friday and Kirkistown on the Sunday (possible noise issues on Sunday with the local church at Bishopscourt currently under review).

Any road up! Best wishes to you and Mrs Shed for the festive season.

Keep polishing the Dellaria!

[Steve Wilkinson]

SBD Motorsport have stepped in and are the new sponsors of the 2005 British Sprint Championship.

Steve Broughton, the Managing Director of SBD Motorsport, said 'it is the ideal vehicle for the company to increase its profile especially with the MSA License Holders'.

Championship Co-ordinator Paul Parker is delighted that the financial worries are now lifted saying 'this means we can now reduce the Registration Fee which had had to go up when we lost our previous sponsor'.

It is hoped the dates can be finalised within the next few days. There will be changes from the previously mentioned list as the Lydden round has been cancelled by the organisers. The championship will be contested over 13 rounds.

[Mr Shed]

I suppose that's one way of getting your name on the Trophy

[Steve Wilkinson]

Shed old buddy!

Just jealous?

Steve Broughton did eventually win the 1600 Category on countback!

Any road up, keep watching this thread for some more interesting news!

Can't say more just yet but the flood gates may be about to open!

Keep your wellies handy!

I am not fitting mudguards or M&S tyres just for you.

I don't know could be just the thing for those "off road" excursions

[Mr Shed]

Dave
I'll bow to your undoubted experience in these matters

[Steve Wilkinson]

I understand from the TEABOY that there is a possibility of fitting Sat Nav to the Del Lara so Mr Shed can find his way back to the track!

I do like DKs suggestion though.

Shed old buddy, your reputation goes before you, somewhat like your cars!

So is the new (Nat A permit) Snetterton sprint a replacement for Lydden Hill in the championship or not?

[Steve Wilkinson]

I couldn't possibly say at this point in time.

Sorry but I had to switch into Blair speak for this one. If you work on the assumption that the British Sprint Championship would dearly love to be at Snetterton this year and that they are working flat out to make it happen.

There will be a Press release shortly until then........

[Steve Wilkinson]

Well I suppose I can't keep you in suspense anymore!

Here goes with the final list of SPRINT CHAMPIONSHIP dates:

28/03 Rd 1 Croft
07/05 Rd 2 Snetterton
28/05 Rd 3 Knockhill
04/06 Rd 4 Pembrey
05/06 Rd 5 Pembrey
12/06 Rd 6 Anglesey Racing Circuit
16/07 Rd 7 MIRA

I suspect there will be more good news PRIOR to the end of the season about next year's line-up.
