Any chance of scrounging a free ticket for Croft?

I'll enquire but as far as I'm aware it was a sell out months ago. Niall.

graham.codling - yes, you are welcome to join us provided you don't drop us in it by racing on the parade lap as someone did a few years back! :roll:

As most of us are quite local we usually turn up on Saturday morning somewhere around 9am.

Sorry to hear that Tim, but it wasn't a surprise after your hectic weekend.

I hope you get the damage sorted without too much bother.

Sorry to hear that Tim, was looking forward to the circuit serving you up some good, rather than bad, luck for a change!
Will keep my fingers X for next time though. Best, Niall. PS Mark, had confirmation today that the classic car entry is sold out so unless you can wangle a pass through one of the guys competing....
