3 hour drive so thinking about it and its up for sale because the neck is weaker than the throttle pedal

I've had a reply from the organisers confirming my request for a 15 car stand There's also a discussion going on regarding the possibility of passengers being permitted ---- now that would be fun , probably at a cost though

This really is turning out to be a golden opportunity for our 'STYLUS meet' with a lot of awesome retro cars plus invited demo race cars of various decades , to browse

NOW CONFIRMED PASSENGERS GO FREE

I've still got some kevlar and carbon fibre sheet left ---- come up to mine and I'll fabricate a ' neck/shoulder brace ' OR ------------ drive conservatively

No problem, see you at Liphook meet.

and you need one of these.....

So we can't take passengers up the hill as it stands? but we can go up in jeans/t shirts and no helmets??? I had based my arguments to the missus on attending as she can have a few runs up the hill with me and any other willing drivers

And we need a neck brace to do it aswell? but no helmet? Hmm think I'll have to give it a miss then as it would have cost enough as it was but if no passengers are allowed and we need to splash out on a neck brace, I'm out sorry chaps hope someone gets some good pics and posts them on here please.

NO NO NO That was just Matt taking the pi----------- s out of ' ned ' having a painful neck

Passengers were taken up the hill last year on this event after having attended the ' drivers ' briefing , even children apparently . My contact said he'd come back to me to clarify it definitively and that was only this morning
On any motorsport activity , even a fun run your arms/legs have to be covered ie. no shorts or short sleeves whilst in the car --- no big deal.
Helmet wise --- not a requirement for road legal cars , just show licence , ins , mot (only cars like mine need scrutineering plus all usual rules because they have no other means of checking soundness ok ------- also , I don't have a neck brace in competition)

:lol:you silly Muppet and dont forget my carbon fibre socks!!!! that has really made my day, was going sailing today but as its storms and heavy rain whats the point

I'll be away from internet access till Monday from today , so any orders or replies for stand space/caps will get answered then ok

Rob- looks like my car won't be ready in time for this meet. Had another minor set back that means the engine is probably coming out again. This isn't really a problem, but I'm not at home much at the moment! I will try to attend in my tin top to come and say hello.

A shame --- but come anyway , it'll be a great day out plus a '' STYLUS MEET '' and I'll have more caps made above my 10 ordered in case hopefully more of you want them

Rob, Any news on passengers and if they are allowed up the hill and what extra cost?

Passengers definitely YES --- still awaiting his reply on any cost there may be I'll look at their (retrorides) forum to see if there's any answers yet

Do you fancy the Stylus caps

Passengers go for FREE ----------------- that is a great deal , most charge for a passenger on a trackday or charity day , BRILLIANT

You simply need to attend the briefing when the drivers do and get a wristband before leaving ---- that's it --- you're ready to go

Just had a quick look at the retrorides site...
See there's 650 camping pitches & they're pretty much sold out - so its gonna be a busy show. .

We've got a stand, - do we need to buy entrance tickets or have you got that covered ??
Do we need to pre-book runs up the hill, or is it arranged on the day ?

Yes you'll need entrance ticket , as said in earlier posts --- £7-50p online or £10 on the day . Once I have the stand tickets which are free to us , we'll decide to either post out to all OR some other arrangement.
Hill run tickets you can only book on the day --- so once I'm there I'll be up to the appropriate booking place to BOOK a few runs ----------- leaving it may result in not getting a run
I'll be there as soon as the place opens it's gates

Had a long chat with Tony Garner , who hillclimbs his 1934 Lagonda Rapier Special 1100cc/ twin supercharged / vintage beast at venues South and North . He does around 46 sec's at Prescott
Officially we wont be timed ------------- BUT ---- I'd like to know what my own times are , at least the first and last attempts
My new camera will be on board so it can be set the moment I leave the line then off at the chequered flag finish line OR with a passenger on my phone They wont be amused if seen though
