Barkston Heath 18th July 2009

[Guest John Walton]

UPDATED 15th July @13:20

 

RAF BARKSTON HEATH POST CODE NG32 2DQ

 

£55 for the first driver and £40 for second drivers

 

Cheques to be made payable to RHOCAR as normal.

Cheques to be posted to;

 

Mr J P Walton

80 London Road

Long Sutton

Lincs PE12 9ED

 

Cheques to be in my sticky little paw by no later than 16th May

 

There is method in the madness of picking this date;

It gives those on the main list chance to get there cheques off and ensure they have a place.

It also gives those on the reserve list time to get organised and know if they have a place or not.

 

Any one whose cheque has not been received by 16th May will be moved from the main list and be replaced by drivers on the reserve list.

 

The list for Barkston is now full. Given that people on the main list often cant make it I will be running a reserve list for those interested.

 

This post will continue to be updated as more information becomes available

 

18th July 2009

 

This date has been chosen as it is after LeMan and well before any other large show event or school holidays. So, your excuses for staying away are limited.

It is also the only track event the club is planning this year, so lets make it a fun weekend with goods numbers attending.

 

Here we go again for RHOCAR's yearly loonfest at Barkston Heath.

 

For those that have not been before.................why not?

 

For those that have been...you can tell those that have not just how much fun it is possible to have with your clothes on

 

Cost, required numbers for car and clothing required to follow but it is highly likely to follow the same format as previous years.

 

The day will be run at as close to cost as possible. So, we are given a price by the RAFMSA and this is then divided by a minimum of 30 drivers. This number enables the club to keep the costs for drivers down and still pay our bills.

 

For those that don't know.

Barkston Heath is a sprint track operated by the Royal Air Force Motorsports Association.

It is located 5 miles form Grantham In Lincolnshire.

It is located 15 miles from Sleaford in Lincolnshire.

 

The track has an excellent surface and safety is covered by two dedicated emergency vehicles supplied and crewed by the RAFMSA's own Motorsport Medical and Recovery/Rescue crews.

 

If any of you have been to Curburough, this place is 10 times better.

 

Kit List

1 x seviceable motor car, it does not need to taxed, MOT'd or SVA, but must be suitable for use ie, it should be able to pass an MOT. Use common sense. ie if your head pokes above the roll bar it will not be ideal shouls something orrible appens!!

 

1 x crash helmet, full face prefered. It does not have to be race spec' Lidls and the like do helmets very cheap, presuming of course you have a cheap head.

 

1 x pair of overalls. These do not have to be race spec' but they do as a mimimum have to be 100% cotton, clean and serviceable. Welders overals are good for this, or follow the link for a real value for money pair.

 

HT Hughes Overalls

HT Hughes 100% Cotton Overalls Race Stylie

Gloves and shoes are up to you, they are not on the list of requirements.

 

You will also need numbers on each side or your car.

These will need to be 9" in height. Print them on your PC at home.

Gaffer/Electrical tape to make up numbers is no longer to be used. Apart from attaching the numbers.

 

Camping

Camping can be found at Woodland Waters camp site, 1 mile from Barkston Heath. Good camp site, proper toilets and showers + a bar and resteraunt on site, good food and beer at reasonable prices.

Woodland Waters Camping

 

Petrol Staion 500 yards from Woodland Waters. Ask Barry Lilles the way (yep, same gag at Mr Liles expense again)

 

The 'Bristol Massive'

The hardy souls normally camp on the Friday night for there 'pre-race preperations'.

It is a damn good social evening, beer and a bit of a BBQ and baiting.

Note Barry 'The Hedge' Lilles not to be allowed to drink is now allowed to drink again due to no hedge or ditch visits in May.

 

Due to insurance and that is a track day, timing is not allowed.

However, you will be marked for style

Due to the methods involved and the technical limitations of the equipment, your 'style' points can only be represented in minutes, seconds and tenths.

You will need those 9" numbers to be identified.

 

This will be a top day out, camp on the Friday evening to make it even better, using traditional Hoody logic, we dont care what you drive but have a sense of humour and bring some beer and food on Friday night.

 

Book Today, do not delay

 

We need 35 drivers per event to do this at a cheap as chips price for our members.

If we get 35 drivers per event the cost per driver is around the £55 mark with second drivers at £40

Bring the wife/girlfriend/boyfriend/son/daughter/mate along as a second driver.

 

The fewer drivers we get, the more it is going to cost those going, simple really.

 

Any problems or queries contact me.

 

So, initially, let shave a show of hands to gauge the interest and I will take it from there.

Count me in please John. Mid July is good. Plenty of time to get in the garage after I return in Late April. Done nothing to the car for a year except drive it. Better order some extra grip and more horses!
