Le Mans event, 10th Jan 2009

[wixwacing]

Norm Cash is organising a Le Mans event for Classic Le Mans cars (up to 1970) at Alan and Jaqci's, Clontarf, on Saturday the 10th of January, 2009. This will start about lunch time.

It will be a team event with an open group driver teaming up with a Group B driver, racing ten minute heats across all four lanes. Racers will need to organise their own team before the event. It would be handy if someone could post the full details as I don't seem to have them.

The link below is to the Le Mans register 1970 where you can check out your models eligibility to prevent any disappointment on the day. Also, if you post your team names here I will start a list of entrants.

If you go to the bottom of the registery page you can toggle through to the earlier years.

Perro is apparently a free agent at this point open to graft, corruption and sexual favours.

Just a quick update on the event. Glen has emailed this to most:

Further to the last email regarding the Le Mans Classic Enduro the cars that qualify for this class are the usual Le Mans type cars or sports racing cars circa 1960 through to 1973 roofed and unroofed. Once again for those who still don’t get it the scale cars are cars such as Fly Porsche 917, 908/2, 908/3, 908 Flunders and longtails, 906 (aka Carrera 6), Ferrari 512 (also the Spirit 512), 250 GTO, Lola T70, Chevrons, Ford GT40, Scalextric Ferrari 330 or P4, Ford GT40, Chapparal, and that’s not all of the list. If you have any queries as to whether a car you want to run qualifies please ask me or Norm. We use the term Classic in a general term and not literally meaning that just because it is 20years old it then falls into the era because it doesn’t. If you wish to run cars such as Ferrari 512BB, BMW M1’s, Porsche 935 etc let me know at the next meeting or by email to see if we can start such a class or any class up for that matter for next season.

Pandoras Circuit has now been `upgraded` ( a loose term) to take the round pin plugs found at Als, Johns, Eggys etc. So you can bring your own controllers.
