[jpchenet]

Bobblehat, any news on specs and regs yet. Or are you just grabbing 6 months extra developement time over the rest of us?? 

[Lorry]

Isn't this the kiddies race in the little GT40s & 250LMs or are you planning something else?

[Bobblehat]

Working on regs at the momment, should have a draft set ready for the Silvestone 1000k. I hope a little sooner so I can post them here.

Keith and I are at the Silverstone Classic (are you going?) and hope to sort out dimensions etc.

So. Whatch this space.

No this somthing completly differnet.

A homebuilt peddle powerd go-kart race for 24mins with three drivers, plus pit stops. Pos around MB on Friday at 4pm

So far we have had intrest from Drinking for Holland, JPC and if the beer addled brain servs correct the T.W.A.T.S

[Paddy_NL]

Drinking for Holland is definitly working on gentle preparations. Thinking of mailing a local cart centre for a wreck. A normal cart is too small anyway. Ít's gonna have to be enlarged both sideways as longways to look the proper thing. Thinking of making it all carbon fibre, otherwise the Dome will be way too heavy.
Feel a bit sorry for TeamJPC, they should reproduce an Aston ofcourse

[Ferrari Spider]

Bobblehat, I hope your specs will also include weight penalties for those teams that have the advantage of small members.  Team JPC and I is one of them suffer in the weight category, we could count our "light" members on one of Rotti's thumbs.

[Bobblehat]

Dont panic Ferrari Spider we are tring to work out a min weight. And any way I am not examining anyones member,

[Ferrari Spider]

Bobble hat many thanks, its not the minimum weight i worry about i doubt if any of team would be under it, except maybe zippie.

also why aren't you examing the members member?  Surely we should have a properly issued racing license system with full medicals, have to make sure the drivers are correctly motivated and fuelled.  Maybe with Tropicoma?

[Lorry]

Yes, at 4pm on Friday I suspect that everyone will be well fueled already

[Barry]

Thinking of making it all carbon fibre

Better buy your carbon fibre fast, prices are set to triple, 'cos Airbus is buying every meter of the stuff they can get their hands on to make the new double decker plane.

[Paddy_NL]

Yes, at 4pm on Friday I suspect that everyone will be well fueled already

I thought that was the whole idea! :p



and as for the carbon fibre, if too expensive we'll replace it by plaster board - and use fast drying wall filler for the difficult parts

[neilsie]

Ooo, is this race open to all?

[Paddy_NL]

Ooo, is this race open to all?

I'd think so yeah. Send a PM to Bobblehat, he'll be able to tell you more

[MGZTT]

Hi, Team M'Oakley are interested in this event and are keen to hear about the regs if any for the chassis, Prize money, Size of champagne bottle to shake etc. Any advice would be lovely thanks....Ian
