I take it anyone with any skin not covered in repellant will get mauled by em?

Yep they are little bastards.Smoking helps but nothing on this earth seems to stop them.

Except maybe Chuck Norris.

If you are thinking of coming to watch,do it

And bring even more people.Last year had the best atmosphere of any drift event I've ever been to and I've got a hunch that this year is going to be a blast.

That rules out any laydee-flesh on show, which sucks, as I had plans...

Group buy on Bhurkas?

Scotlands full of em if youre anywhere in the country, and they do come out in the evening, not so much if its windy or cold. Theyre tiny little things that bite you and before you know it youre covered in bites, and they want to crawl into your eyes and nose and generally annoy you.

That mean that they wont be working during the EDC? I see they cleverly avoided the BTCC at knockhill by one week too.

Jeek™ · 20-06-2007, 15:04

Cant wait for this! Im hopefully gonna try for a licence. See you all there!

Wow i just looked at the price! didnt realise it was over £200 to go for the licence and compete.

Do i have to pay for both up front? Im worried that i pay £200 then either my car isnt up to scratch for some reason or i fail to get the licence.

allywrx · 20-06-2007, 20:55

Cool.

Looking forward to this again.
I'm just gutted I don't have a car to try out for a licence in.

Jimthejunior · 20-06-2007, 21:10

312 miles for me each way. In my un-economical car thats gonna be about £100 quids worth of fuel. Anyone want a slave for the day thats coming up from midlands?

glens14a · 21-06-2007, 17:31

why a Saturday

I'll be working

so it will need to be a mad dash down the road after work

are we still not allowed to post vids from last year event or is it ok now

chungster · 21-06-2007, 22:05

I'll be covering about 850miles over the weekend.

Heading up on Saturday morning...should get there by 4pm! 6 hour drive.

Stay over night near Carlisle then off to Elvington for TOTB 6 the next day.

Just hope the weather is nice.

Normally they look at people wearing repellant and go "hey look at this one lads! He's got gravy and everything!!" They are little bastards.

Autospecs · 14-07-2007, 02:18

Hmmm doesn't sound very inviting then does it!!! Might need to bring one of those suits the bee keepers wear to keep them damn midgers at bay. We were really looking forward to coming to this event but now we're like ummm maybe it's gonna be an uncomfortable day.

On Another note
Does Knockhill have a media center with internet connection???
Have got a feeling we are going to need it just to stay abreast of all the emails we've been getting.

Jeek™ · 14-07-2007, 13:17

i also live realy close to Knockhill and can honestly say i have never had a problem with midges up there!

As for a media center they dont have one that im aware off but im sure there is a net connection up there somewhere!

Tsubaki · 14-07-2007, 19:40

Midges...seriously no way to aviod them apart from wearing the bee keeper's suit??

One reason why I've moved to England from Japan was that there is no mosquito, but I didn't consider Scotish insects...

EDC Admin · 22-07-2007, 00:38

Entries are now closed for Knockhill including the Licensing, Round 3 and the Team Drift on the Sunday.
