Hi All

I've been working on and off on setting up a ScoobyNet RallyX event...

basic structure is.. Large smooth medow / field with a stage laid out using soft cones etc and we can all take our scoobs on there and are timed to complete the stage. The stage would then be changed and everyone through it again, etc. Total time at the end is your RallyX time, champagne, etc! ... Should be A REALLY good laugh. No serious competition, all road tyres, just really good fun.

The best place I could find to host this event is the Whilton Mill motorsports venue in Northamptonshire. They have 2 Kart tracks, a rally stage, all sorts..

So I thought we could make a whole afternoon / evening of it and have a BBQ, Bar, etc.

In order to make it work, well need at least 25 competitors paying around £60 (estimated) which would include the BBQ, and a whole group of us lot as spectators, paying £5 to get in, £10 to be a passenger in a competing car, and about £5 for the BBQ (something like that).

Does it sound doable?

Who would be up for it?

Cheers

Simon

 

Put me down as a definite for the Rally X. Someone has to be the worst driver of the day.

I'll bring a spectator as well.

Put me down -- but what's the deal with timing and insurance?

 

Simon,

Sounds excellent. Put me down as a probable for Spectator/BBQ x 2.

Cheers

 

Top idea Simon, if the date suits, put me down. But carl's got the same thoughts as me

 

Sounds good

Will compensate for not going to the Open this year, would hate to miss out on driving through a field

 

Sounds great

Put me down for it... any idea of proposed dates?

Hi Chaps

Insurance..
OK.. it is very unlikely that your road insurance will cover you.. but I think I will be able to arrange insurance through Egger Lawson.

I will find out what kind of cost it will be, then it's up to you..

One thing I will say, is that myself and Rob Mac will be paying VERY close attention to the course, and keeping it relatively low speed and absolutely as safe as possible. It's just for fun.

I've driven on the field and it's very smooth. There are *some* bumps, but nothing a scoob can't handle, and we'll make sure they are at slow points on the stage and try to go around them anyway.

We may even allow pace notes (which will be provided) so you can take a co-driver with you.

 

I'll be the first from Scotland then.

Just let us know when....

 

Simon,

Fantastic idea I am up for giving it a go

Richie.

 

Simon, I have better venue for this, somewhere closer, Greece. Then you can put me down too.

3rd, behind Me and RichS


Let us know the date so I can find some victims, sorry volunteers to be passengers

 

As my scoob is never clean I'd be up for some rally-x, always like to cheap her looking good

Jerome - We will see who is the worst driver of the day

 

Sounds like a good laugh, I will come and watch and get K9'd at the bar.

Anyone want to drive a drunk Ronnie? *hick*

 

I'll come along and spectate. Wouldn't want to embarrass any Scoobs! ( Yeah Right)

Matt

 

How far is that from manchester???

 

Yup - PTMW! is up for this

Aren't I glad I made the P1 lip spoiler <B><I>removable</I></B>

 

I will be up for this too - Kepp us posted !!!

 

Sorry Robertio I didn't see you and Rich there...

A wee convoy from Scotland me thinks

Sounds fine with me

We just need SDB to sort it out now, what could be taking him so long?

 

Yes, sounds great. I would love to do it. Put me on the list young man!

Please, please not between 26 Aug-10th Sept as i am abroad.

Me + the breath-monster.

me me me me, i'll be there put me down for a driver and couple of spectators, I WILL BE LAST (do i get champagne if i am ?)

Greg

 

Oooh yes,

I'll buy that for a dollar!

Cem

 

Sounds like the only place to be, i'm in bbq/spectator x 2.

simon.

 

Simon,

You moaning tit....put me down provisionly.

I can't see insurance being required, cause only one car will be on the course at once. Unless your gonna drive like me........through the cones as apposed to round them!!!!!!!!!

Shaun.



For FORD stuff, including other useful info

 

Well up for that. Flying the cossie flag if thats ok with SDB or I might bring the Astra. I'm sure I will be able to lay down 50 odd bhp of nitrous onto grass with no problem!
Seriously, i WANT TO COMPETE. Let me know the date.
astraboy.

 

That sounds like a damn fine idea Simon so you going to put on a raffle too??? you may as well make a bit for charity whilst your at it

Tony

 

Mmm nitrous, mmm...

 

Sounds like a blinding idea

2 more spectators (don't trust my amateur driving skills )

 

Shaun - Perhaps you can bring along 20 or so other Cossies to use instead of cones - you Cossie drivers can stay in your cars - you should be used to Scoobs flashing past you by now!

Shaun
I have some original footage of the Escort cossie rally car - the promotional stuff as used by ford - Do you want a copy on VHS?
