Well done John. 8-)

One slight hiccup, the car I want to bring is neither a Mini nor does it have a registration number. :lol:

The HSCC entry form gives a clue as to when the races for each class take place. As the entries close next Friday I guess they will post details of the entries and the time table early on in the following week.

Last chance to get your free tickets for the driver of any classic Mini (or similar) for the weekend, just do the days you want to, you can always get a free ticket and then not go. Entry closes Thursday night. Main race is Monday, had quite a few people going now so should be a very good display.

Hate to throw a spanner in here John but I suspect pretty strongly that they're not (they've certainly always had a pre '80's cut off since I've been going). It's a historic race meeting/classic car show and I seem to remember the Jag lot brought a load of new cars one year on free tickets ,against Oulton's advice, and got an earful (and I seem to remember a ban!).

I'd check with Oulton first.

Already checked it Pete
Hi John
I’ve spoken with James and yes that’s fine to have the new Mini as well.
If you can include this in the full list tonight that would be great.
Many thanks
Sasha
I thought it would be a no but they said "yes no problem......"

Timetable here :

The GT stuff's on the Sunday unfortunately but as a bonus there appear to be two saloon races on Monday? Also I hear there's WW2 tanks and other military vehicles on display to mark the venue's pre motor racing roots.
