PLUM PUDDING MEET - MALLORY PARK - BOXING DAY

This is an annual event at Mallory Park, which attracts the second largest crowd of spectators (only surpassed by the BSB event). Its a great event with a mixture of car and motorbike (including sidecar) races. The course car is a reindeer sled and the Clerk of the Course goes round in it after every race dressed as Father Christmas!

There are two sports car races and two saloon car races. The grid for the first race is decided by receipt of entries, and the second race is by the reversed results of the first race. It's a great fun event, with a great atmosphere thanks to the time of the year and the crowds of spectators on the banks and in the paddock.

Entry fee is just £110 for the 15 min practice and the two 15 min races, and generally also includes a chocolate santa at signing on

If you require the regs and entry form, e-mail me at rafmsaracingatgmail.com (but substitute at with @)

I will be entering this event - anyone else?

Im aiming to be ready for this im putting my entry in over the next couple of weeks

My entry has gone in

Mine will be going in next week after the weekend at Snetterton.

I am waiting to see how the Mk2 runs before making the entry.

Just brought a new car so feeling poor, I might do this if I enter later I will be at the back of the grid, loads of overtaking ,

You wish Mr Fuller, Overtaking!
When is everyone going to this Christmas day and boxing day or what?

I shall be going down on boxing day. I don't think you would gain access on the xmas day

I will be entering this week, looking at going down late Christmas Day, looking to arrive at about 21:30.

I might try to pop down and say hi - won't be racing as the car isn't fixed and I deploy the day after

Let me know if your able to make I should be abke to spare you a ticket or two

Ian

Cheers matey, I'll run it by the missus

Entry went in the post today

Going in the Mk2, to see how she fares round Mallory. Have a cracked exhaust, leaking sump gasket, and loose alternator mount to sort following Snetterton, so if these are all fine at Mallory, she is all sorted for next season.

Ed /John, are you coming out to play for this one?

Nice one Billy. I sorted on the weekend. The clutch cable (Ed need to have a chat about replacing yours) fitted new capillary temp gauge , wired up oil pressure switch,wired up amal valve, tightened mc person strut as it had come loose just gotta finish making the front splitter and changing the brakes

In keeping with work 'tradition' I am again working on Boxing Day.
7 yeas in a row.

If recruitment pans out I may have half a chance next year.

I won't be competing this year as my car will be in bits having it's new engine wedged in. I plan to go on the day to watch so tickets would be appreciated.

A NEW ENGINE EDWARD ! pray please tell more

Oh no Ed!

No don't need to buy a new car as I got one last week.......... Oh and as far as the engine, I can't say any more untill I know if it will fit, it's gonna be tight!

Ooh im intrigued now. I look forward to seeing the new beast ! Does this mean curtains for the super six

Hi Ed

Are buying a turn-key engine, or are you going to build it up yourself?

Well after all your teasing I plan to do a full strip down and rebuild myself. But I will have a man to keep an eye on progress. I havnt sold the Tiger so if it takes longer for the new car and engine to mate or if I am out of my depth I have the Tiger as a plan b. I don't want to go into any more details at the mo incase my plan falls flat on its face.
