But I'd happily share the use of your car if you wanted to split the costs

initial_j · 02-10-2008, 09:33

sadly my cars not road legal, so its getting it there thats the problem.

and not sure wether my tow car is up for it, infact scrap that im pretty much sure it wouldnt make it.

thats why i really wanted to know when this was earlier, as already budgeted for lydd practice day and comp and spent all my dollar on parts.

ill see what i can come up with

Jord · 02-10-2008, 09:36

What he said ^ I hope so because I'm off the road at the moment building the car!

topi · 02-10-2008, 12:00

Is there a limit on the number of cars?

Is the west track the one with the hill, or the flat cool one?

i dont see why not, will just have to pay to renew them i reckon, that what i did with my eurodrift license when BDC was born

jamie k · 02-10-2008, 12:35

Im sure sweeps said to me at Silverstone any current license holders will have to pay a renewal fee but not resit theit license. That was a few months back though so i may be wrong

MJG · 02-10-2008, 12:38

Topi the west track is the little hilly one AFAIK, the EAST track is having noise problems.

If BDC needs help as far as staff are concerned then I'm free to help with running the day/giving advice etc, maybe I could catch a lift up with one of the local boys.
