Hello,

The Middlesex Motor Club have arranged to run a AutoSolo Gymkhana style course at Bovingdon Airfield on Sunday 29th April. Its a relaxed, full of sideways style event. Any local lads are welcome to come and compete.

Those who came last year in August will remember how much fun these type of events can be. Last time the surface was fairly rough which meant drivers went through tires at a tremendous rate, but I have been told by a fellow organiser that the surface this time will be smooth tarmac :thumbs:. All kinds of car's competed last time from MK 2 Escort's to all kinds of S body's, which made it great for spectators.

The price is £35 for a full day which includes membership which is needed to compete. The cheapest form of compeditive motorsport around.No racesuits or roll cages needed!Bring plenty tires and fuel. :D The maximum amount of cars to enter is 60. Payment will be accepted on the day. £20 for members, and £35 for non-members.

The programme for the event will be ; Scrutineering starts at 8.45 am.
Any competitor not signed on by 10.15 am may be excluded. The first car will start at 10.30 am.

MSA Permit Number 70544 has been issued.
The event will consist of 3 classes as follows:

AA Drivers who have not competed on more than two tarmac auotests or two AutoSOLOs.
AB Drivers who have not won more than one award, other than novice or ladies, on a tarmac Autotest or an AutoSOLO.
AC All other drivers.

Note that all Junior Drivers (those aged 16/17) and those without a full RTA licence must drive a saloon car. All vehicles must be road legal and driven to the event.

looks a really good day out, one thing though, with regards to vehicle has to be driven there, cant we bring them on a recovery truck incase they break?
 
I have just asked that question mate to an organiser, and it is perfectly fine to bring the car on a recovery truck or trailer your car. :thumbs:
 
been waiting for this, since last year my car has been built up so will be rude not to test it out ;) I was a member last year, do i have to register again? cheers :)

Oh basically on one run matey told time control he was going to not follow the designated route (do a massive entry) ,and the marshall on the other end was not informed and got pissed off. Follow the course and you will be fine. Last time was 3rd gear stuff, so it got exciting :)
 
You still got the E30? Will have some fun testing it out, can't wait
