Knockhill Classic Speedfair

[dezzy]

Tut, I can be there to help out from 08:00 (although will need to lay off the booze on the Saturday night! ) As Campbell says, I'd like to go enjoy the speedfair later on, so I'm hoping most people can get there nice and early so we can organise them all and then go enjoy ourselves.

Campbell . . . car washing . . . you know that's what I'll be spending this entire weekend doing!!

Event layout for sunday

[tut]

Thanks Steve.

Campbell and Dezzy

Don't worry, the early stint is the important part in deciding the layout of the cars. Once we have that established, cars arriving after 1000 can slot in, or we will have another volunteer to help out.

Obviously the 35 cars going on track will be lining up separately as directed by KH, then joining the rest in the paddock.

Cars wishing to leave before the Grand Parade lap, hopefully few, will have to let it be known so that they do not get blocked in. As there are 95 of us, plus the Club Lotus contingent, to get out onto the track, that will be a separate planning operation, and a unique event in Scotland. Mind you, we were not too far behind for tuttowers.

Scottish TV will be filming, so all we need is the weather for what should be an enjoyable day.

ps I believe it is also a Ferrari Anniversary, who are also making it a special event, and are parked nearby to us in the Paddock.

I will arrange for free entry for yourself and Dezzy.

Oh and can everyone please try to wash their car first (tall order I know but it's a special occasion!)

er... Mine is kinda held together with S1 tape at the moment, is that going to be ok?

It is colour coded S1 tape if that helps.

Mandy's out washing ours at present and then going to attack it with a claybar (poor thing won't know what's hit it)

Tomorrow before I go to the HM session I'm going to attempt some reconstruction work of the front end - all going well it should be looking halfway decent by next weekend.


As for the caterham - heh - it's a race car, it's going to have character marks

Thanks tut I'm hoping that I can convince Heather (heds) to get out of bed early too and come along to help out, so can you put her down too as we're more than likely to come up together (in both cars) and will both help with the parking/organisation? Thanks!

Mac, so far this morning (from 8am), I've foam-gunned, washed with 2 bucket method, rinsed, pat dried, clayed, scrubbed wheels, applied a coat of wheel sealant, and dressed tyres. Phew! This afternoon it's 3 polishing steps to get rid of swirls (inflicted by MMC) and then tomorrow it'll be sealant, wax and interior.

I promise I will drive it too though!

Might just wipe it down with a wet dog towel again....

[mac]

You really must explain this "two bucket" method at some point - I'm sure it's not as dull and obvious as it sounds


I fully expect to find the car badly washed and Mandy half cut on the decking with a bottle of wine in the other hand and a sponge in the other.


The caterham might get treated to a blast with the power washer - I need to get the muck off that I kicked up at Duffas last time out

[jason]

Looking at the plan, I see there's an autotest on too * (guessing it may be Glenrothes Car Club like last year)... if anyone's not been to one, well worth taking a look see so



* dreams of fitting towbar on Elise so Tomato can be there too

[Mandy]

Well just finished cleaning for the day - totally fecked!!!

So far:-
Washed
Paint deep cleaned
claybar
deep shine polish

still got all of the inside to do but that'll be another day.

No need for Lachlan to book, he can just turn up on Friday and sign on for pax laps, and/or come along on Sunday and join us for the S_E Spectacular.
