I'm in with my Radical, paid earlier today. Looking forward to it.
We are going to change the Radical gear shift system next week to paddles with a full throttle, clutchless up change and a clutchless electronic blip system for downchanges. I am going to need practice!

[Largie]

Think I read somewhere that fireproof overalls n stuff r required?

If you were competing in a sprint event, that might be true, but this isn't timed or anything like that. Having been to both Blyton and Curborough, it could be argued that Curborough is safer than Blyton as there's only ever one car on the track at once.

If you compete in an MSA authorised sprint then fully compliant helmet, overalls, gloves, shoes and depending on the car, Hans device are mandatory. All items have to be in date compliance too. Seat belts are also inspected.
Curborough is more technical than Blyton but both are pretty safe. You are right that there is a considerable safety margin because of the one car on the track at Curborough although if Curborough is wet be careful of the proximity of the barriers at some parts of the track. Ask me how I know!

Happily no need to snog - a payment will do fine. I will PM you the details

Put me down Paul

Really enjoyed last year, I will have out go and get a lid this time

[Largie]

I have a spare motorbike lid which will probably do; you are welcome to borrow it if you want to.

I give no guarantees of its performance however!

Only a couple of place left now

[Lichrich]

Could I have a place please? Only down the road from me so it would be silly not to take advantage.
Let me know what I need to do.

Hi,

If there is still a space left, I am interested?

I am from the Cheshire group...

And it would make for great day on my birthday (May 24th).

Cheers

The Camping & Caravan Club site on Cannock Chase is close by if you want somewhere with full facilities? 10-15 mins from Curburough & 5 mins from me so you could follow me into Curburough if not sure where it is

Cheers bud. I've already tried to book another one (Fullbrook Farm) but had no reply / confirmation. If I don't hear soon I'll try this one, cheers!!!

[Chris H1]

Excellent you can't really get any closer to Curburough sprint course than Fullbrook Farm lol (when you get there the sprint course is just the other side of the big wnd turbine so left out of farm onto Watery Lane to T junction turn right onto Wood End Lane then Curburough turning Netherstowe Lane is approx 3/4 mile on right).

Its a Camping & Caravan members only site which is why I didn't mention that one.

The Swan on the A38 at Fradley will be your closest pub for food or its only 10 mins into Lichfield City center.
