[Juggernaut]

Thank you Steve

[scooby doo]

Il be there but in the civic R as on track twice!

[Anger]

So what is the plan meeting wise

[Steve_PPP]

I had been holding off confirming as I've still not had the usual stand layout or final info through yet.... but need to get the ball rolling!

We will be using the same meeting point as we did last year!

Please make sure you are at Wested Lane, which is just off Junction 3 of the M25 (opposite side to Brands Hatch) - postcode is BR8 8EE.





We will queue up on the side of the road (in the area where the red lines are on the map above). I will be handing out tickets/car passes to people as they arrive. If I've got distracted by someone and you don't have your tickets within a few minutes of arriving, come and make yourself known! (For the newbies, ask someone to point you in my direction ) From there, we will go back under the M25 and convoy up to Brands Hatch.

Meet at Wested Lane - 7:45am
Leave for Brands Hatch - 8am sharp, to arrive approx 8:15am

Please be on time. If anyone has not arrived at the meeting point by 8am, then we may leave without you (we can't delay the whole group). If this happens, I will try and leave your tickets with the gate staff at Paddock entrance, but this cannot be guaranteed. If this is going to be a problem for anyone, then please PM me in advance.

Finally - a few words about behaviour. (and yes, most of this is copied and pasted from last years thread ) I know with the people on the list we shouldn't have any problems, but perhaps its worth us stating the obvious. We want you to all have a great day out but remember you are part of this club and representing SES by being on our club stand. Any bad driving or behaviour reflects negatively on us and may prevent us from being allowed to attend future events. No donuts on the grass at Brands, no speeding/racing in the convoy. Anyone found acting stupidly or dangerously may be denied access to the event and may have their access to the forum removed. All common sense stuff for 99% of folks, but we don't want the 1% ruining it.

Thanks

[Ginola]

Still need to wash the car!

[Anger]

Yeah the same on Washing the car

[Ginola]

Will be done in the dark! X fingers I don't miss any bits!

[Steve_PPP]

At the moment I'm a little concerned I won't have a car!! Got the scoob back about 10 days ago only for there to be a problem with the gearbox rebuild so its back with SMD (who are bending over backwards to have it ready but at the moment the box is still with Bexhill gearboxes!)

And it'll need a wash when if i get it back. Really don't want to turn up in a diesel

[Ginola]

Can always give you a lift

I'm meant to be bringing the gazebo and a mate is coming with me. Not sure what plans will be yet if the scoob isn't finished. Cheers for the offer though dude, its a backup plan at least!

[Red Baron]

Suppose I'd better dig mine out of the garage and give it a wash, not used it since the meet in September. Bloody garage roof has started leaking so even if I wash it I'll have to give the bonnet a once over when I get there, saying that, if the weather continues to be crap it will be filthy after the drive up anyway.

[Steve_PPP]

Just found out we are not using Scratchers Lane entrance this year as it will be congested with teams... New entrance shown below!



Event timetable:

[C. J.]

Don't even know if mine will start and think old age has hit so I'll more than likely be in the sorento as heated seats are nice to warm up on the homeward journey

[Steve_PPP]

Come on CJ, get the charger on the scoob and bring it along

So much for scoobs only, although I guess i might end up being a hypocrite if the gearbox isn't fixed on mine! Not for want of trying though!

[NL03Scooby]

Really looking forward to this, hope the weather is going to be kind, anyone got a good/reliable source for an update?

I washed mine Sunday thinking it may be the only chance I will get however my car lives outside so it may have proven pointless... I suppose some could even hold me thus responsible for the current crap weather .

I think a quick spruce up will be in order after work Friday and some use of my good friend 'rapid action detailer'.

[C. J.]

Looks like rain for Saturday

[Steve_PPP]

I'm told that SMD should have the gearbox back Thursday morning and it'll be going back in the car Thursday afternoon or Friday morning. So the scoob might just make it, assuming no further problems....... fingers crossed.

Weather looking iffy at the moment, will bring the gazebo for extra shelter in case its needed!

They have been wrong before fingers crossed..

[Mike j]

Was hoping to pop up and say hello, unfortunately JGM can't map my car today.
Maybe next time...

[Willowsdad]

I'll pop over and say hello, but unfortunately I'll be in the car park. The damage the funny blue one got the night before leeds castle still hasn't been fixed, so it doesn't seem right to put her on the stand.

[Red Baron]

Anyone else other than me and "E" heading up the A21?

[scooby doo]

i will be but not on the club stand as still scooby less atm

More than welcome to join us, the scuff really didn't look that bad at Leeds Castle....

Still have spare stand passes so you could pay on the gate if you wanted to

Your Scuff can't be any worse than my rear arches, we can hide at the back together

[tbtstt]

Martin Short will run a Mosler in the Time Attack...

...should look the nuts among the other Time Attack cars!

But doesn't that smack in the face what Time Attack is all about i.e Saloon cars running 600-900BHP

Would the FIA GT Championships accept GobStopper2, it's got a G and a T in the name ?

[Red Baron]

I've seen the Moslers on the Indy circuit, they don't really get to stretch their legs, to be honest they looked a bit cumbersome on such a short track.

[C. J.]

Won't be going first thing now so have hopefully texted you Steve PPP . If I can collect tonight or tomorrow it would be good .

Bloody hell that's early. I thought you were meeting just of the M25 for 8:00, not 7:00.

IMHO the Time Attack organisers are taking the piss asking for everyone to be on site so early.
Last year most of the attendee's were club/display stands with very little public entry. So they could probably push this out to allow entrance upto 10:00-10:30. Especially as this year it's going into darkness.

On second thoughts as traffic should be light.

Let's make it 07.10 depart then .

7:45am meeting, not 8am

And that's 15 mins later meeting than last year too. I'm sure some clubs will still be rolling in at 9am but they'll have spent a whilst queuing i expect. I've also been advised that its going to be pretty tight on space to get everyone in on the tarmac area (grass will be a bog) so good to get in before other clubs 'stretch' their boundaries if you know what i mean.

I agree its an early start considering the final races are later this year, but i'm not sure how many people will still be there at that time. Forecast is sunny for the morning, but wet in the afternoon from 2-3pm onwards.
http://www.myweather2.com/Motor-Raci...it.aspx?sday=2

So I reckon quite a few will start to leave after that if it properly hacks it down!

[BIG"E"]

Forecast is looking better..

[Red Baron]

Just seen this on FB, looks like we're opposite the Drift Taxis, hope the wind is blowing the opposite direction to last year, not too sure about our neighbours either.

[Ginola]

Nice and near for breakfast at least

[Red Baron]

There is that, I notice that GTROC, MLR and P1WOC/Scooby City have the prime spots on the hard standing at the top of the circuit again.

[Scott.T]

Mine will be in the public car park then.
I'm not having it covered in grit/rubber and stinking of rubber/fumes for the journey home.
Stood there last year and lasted about 5 minutes before I had to leave.

Clearly we are not 'in with the right' people as P1 and MLR have been their position for 3 years or so, even with smaller numbers.

[Moley_WRX]

I hope our bonnets don't become seats for those watching the drift taxi's

[Scott.T]

If anyone wants my 'early bird' ticket it's up for grabs as a freebie.
Sick son, second son returning knackered from a pgl weeks camp and now the above means I will evaluate the situation on the morning and buy a public ticket if required.

[Moley_WRX]

I can't see how we're going to fit 18/19 cars in that small area.
There are 21 on the MLR and their area seems twice the size

[Red Baron]

If there's any problems we can all just pack up and leave and move the cars to the public mud bath.

We can always put the sacrificial Evo and Supra at the front to protect the others

I won't be on the stand or Scott so that'll give more room , I'd speck to Michelle and get on their stand if it was me . Not a place I'd want to park my car .
Sorry
