Bristol MC has a solo coming up on 12 Aug if anyone in the Bristol / Weston area fancies having a go - SRs here:

http://www.bristolmc.org.uk/EventRegs/S ... Aug_07.pdf

As usual only a club membership card from an invited club is required.

Edit - I wont be there, I've got a housefull of people coming to stay that weekend for the Balloon fiesta and dragging them all down to an airfield in Weston-super-donkey at 0830 would probably not be too popular. :lol:

wow just got pipped yesterday by a scooby doo for FTD on the Oxford Motor Club autosolo..

if I had not clipped a cone on one of my runs I would of had FTD! though I suppose the excursion through a wheat field did not help matters when the rain made a grippy bit, slippy!

great fun though - no imps present though.

well done Si, similiar rules as with some of the classic rallies, cones and line faults drop 10 sec's then very hard to claw back. i see you are fully up to speed with the motorsport ethos, if, but, maybe, i once had a navigator who was a sales manager who produced a spreadsheet based on the if, but,maybe, formula and when you entered a seasons results on it we won the championship every time! :lol: I may enter one of the auto solo's one day but at the moment i have a championship to consider. I was once told by an ex british auto test champion "go clean, go quick" keep competing. I agree Si more people should compete with their imps they handle really well and ok without loads of expensive tuning parts we may not win outright but class wins are achievable, and you can set your own class in your head based on your cars age level of prep and CC, taking part is just as much fun as winning and the driver controls the potential level of damage, drive it like you stole it expect the clutch to go, calm clean driving will put you suprisingly close to some one who looks quick. Sam and Matt (thompson1248 and RFK demon) will tell you that they spectated on a rally and were very impressed with the MK 1&2 RS's sunbeam lotus's etc when they watched them but found out they were beaten by other smaller cars on the tests. regards mike

YER i HAD A LEAD OF 50SECS!

BUT THE mgb was fun and I still managed a class win in it. Just grateful to the owner fo letting me double drive it so I could complete the championship.

the cone clipping event was not a championship round though was fun - first event where I have clipped cones -

The Bristol University Motor Club is promoting an Autosolo run by the Bristol Motor Club*- and I will (hopefully) be taking part.

My biggest concerns are the donuts (as they are fairly tired) and the (do)nut behind the wheel.

The other problem is the oil leaks- don't think they would go down too well.

*BUMC and BMC are 2 different entities- BMC is the club that ran the first autotest that onomatopoeia is involved in.

I was a member of BUMC once upon a time, from when this incarnation was started in 1988 until a few years after I graduated, the trek to the SU on Queens road getting a bit long on a Thursday lunchtime when we moved offices from Redland to Westbury-on-Trym. Still got a load of trophies from 12 car rallies in the loft, plus the souvenier glasses from all the BUMC beer festivals we ran in the Anson room :lol: .

you should be fine if theta re in (and the bolts) are in good nick - unlike autotest there is no transition from fwds to reverse etc etc...

if yours are kancked might be time to fit new ones

they are great fun so just do one!

Are there any entries left for FDMC still? I know there were last time I asked, but I still don't know if I'm actually going to be back in Essex that weekend


Hope I'm not blacklisted either.... got a call today, apparently my cheque from the last one bounced! Oops!

The MOT on the Singer is up two days before and it has a big hole in the floor as a result of using a trolley jack to change a wheel after a puncture on a trial. I wasn't expecting it to go through the floor :shock: ... I am going to try to get it fixed in time, whether I'll also be able to get all the trialling suspension off as well remains to be seen - it will not be fun doing a solo with 10" of ground clearance to the sills.

I also seem to have something in my diary for that weekend in Yorkshire ...

In fact, get your entry in as the last one we held in February filled before the closing date and we had to turn something like a dozen people away, either by sending back their entries or telling them not to submit them at all.

When I got home I honestly thought i'd come last (didnt bother looking at the board when I was there due to the aborted first run and poor driving in the second.) but seeing the results now i'm much happier, came 3rd from last =p

More to the point in my last run when I'd gotten used to the format and set my car up a little I was faster then 12 other cars on the last run including Mazda MX5s and Toyota MR2s so hopefully at the next one I can start a little better and finish somewhere up the field.

Quite like that picture as well, can see me turning that into an avatar. :D

Regulations for the 2nd August Bristol MC event at Weston-super-donkey airfield are here: http://www.bristolmc.org.uk/EventRegs/solo2regs.htm

We've played with the entries selection criteria a bit so members of invited clubs not doing the CMSGCC championship get a fair chance of getting an entry this time (it was a bit embarassing last time having to turn so many away).

I'm Clerk of the course. How did I get volunteered for that? :shock:

and not hard on cars.....
I've been trying to convince my car of this, it seems to be allergic to Montgomery lines. :lol: Hopefully it will cope a bit better at North Weald in a week and a halfs time (And I hear that the entry is still open so if your about...).

It is about time a few more impers joined me, a well sorted imp could be very competative in the FDMC class A. Its good fun and my car control skills have already improved as a result.

I'm surprised by the lack of Impers involved in this low cost entry into Motorsport. It's an ideal way to hone your driving skills in a safe and controlled environment . Skills learnt here will serve the aspiring motorsport enthusiast as they ascend the ladder.

Come on all you who say you want to get into motorsport, stop talking and get competing. You only need a standard car to take part.
