Fingers crossed for decent weather for the grassed areas this year.

Should have some exciting news soon on the Saturday night Q&A which might well interest you!

I’m planning to be there on the Saturday night, don’t think I’ll have a car ok the track sadly but hope to get there in my 1275GT for the first time.
Have missed the last 2 sadly.
So will say I’m excited!

We need to persuade Tim to bring his Unipower!

We do!

Just booked on. Unsure which car to bring…..the 1430 track thrash car ( FNR 54V )….or 850 JWA …my long term favourite ex rally car….

70 cars booked on track so far, that’s a record I think!

That would be lovely not seen a unipower for years.

I’ll be attending with my Riley Elf this year for the first time (if I’m allowed!!)
Sadly my MK1 is still a bare shell!!!!!

Somebody correct me if I’m wrong but I’m sure I heard that there will there be somebody tuning Minis. If so, who do I need to speak to about getting booked in? Or is it just queue on the day?

There was a guy there a couple of years ago making adjustments to carburettors and ignition, selling coils etc. Not sure if he's been booked again this time though. Wasn't there last year.

Could be a good event for AC Dodd to show up at, though I suspect he's at the Riviera Run where there's a very captive market for his services.

In the past theres been a 'what you bringing' thread as well as the obvious 'for sale at blyton' threads. So unsure to start a fresh one or not I thought I'd start here. As Pete keeps reminding us on Facebook theres only X number of weeks to go, gulp!! where X = never enough time.

So what you bringing?? and how big is your job list?
Last year i brought my R1 spaceframe for its first ever run out.
In the few laps i did I broke or found the weakpoints of, the gearknob, the gearchange cradle/tower, the rear view mirror, both front hubs, front wheel bearings, top arms, and finally the support cradle for the diff.

I've had one airfield test since then where the biggest issue was the new hubs had thrown the wheel alignment way out, not sure how..
Obviously I'm bringing it again!!
Currently needs the new fuel system stripping down and rebuilding, a new brake line across the front, both rear windows refitting, I'll be surprised if i have time to finish off the refabrication of the rear bulkead and fuel tank cover. I need to redo and check the front wheel alignment and try and work out the wiring gremlin with the gear indicator.

I’d have started a thread on here but seems to be dying a death! . I think Blyton will be busy though, and yes I’ve got my spares to sort and sell.

Hang on Pete I've had a silly idea so I'm going to Trump you by suggesting that all sales at Blyton are subject to a voluntary tariff of say 5% of sale price donated to the chosen charity. Question people on their way out and mug them for a donation of 5% of what they have spent.
Have a great day everyone.

Stickers currently being made, thanks to Andy for the artwork once again, and a limited run of T shirts which will be available on the day…

All proceeds to MacMillan.
