I've just had an invite from the TVR Owners Club in Scotland to share a track event with them at Crail on Wednesday 7th June. This will be a late afternoon/evening session (starting about 3pmish), and will basically give
us the free run of an airfield until the sun goes down!

Crail has a variety of runways, and a recent innovation is a specially marked out circuit, with hairpins, chicane etc, as well as a marked out ¼ mile strip as well.

They have quite a few owners who are a bit nervous about taking their cars out on the track, so numbers will be very limited (i.e. about 15 cars max,
with only two or three on the track at any time).

There are no armco barriers at Crail, just plenty of grassy run-off areas, though given the length of the grass, you probably wouldn't want to venture in too deep!

Again if you are interested, then please let me know and I'll let the TVR club know we'll be coming along. There may even be the chance to swap cars/get passenger laps if you are into that sort of thing

No idea on cost, but it will be cheap (probably 30 pounds or less).

 

Will you get timed for the 1/4 mile and do you have to be in a club to put your name down? Is it open to any type of car?

Martin,

no you won't get timed for the 1/4 mile, as the owner just lets you out to play on the airfield. I'm not sure if other car clubs are allowed, as the TVR owners wanted to keep numbers down for safety reasons, it being the first time many of their owners have ventured out onto a track.

I'm speaking to the chap again on Tuesday, and I'll let you know then.

I don't think there would be any problems in coming along to watch though ?

OK,

I need to get final names (and telephone numbers, mobile if possible) and car details to the event organiser. Can you please send me the necessary details by e-mail if I don't already have them.

Yes Martin, despite numbers being limited, you can attend

 

This event is now fully booked.
