Ok plug time....

OCTOBER 1st which is a SATURDAY 9AM is the stroke association charity day at Castle Combe race circuit.

This is a great day out for car enthusiasts. You buy a pass at ?20 from control then pick a car to go out for a 3 lap spank around one the fastest race circuits England has to offer.

All the marques are there Ferrari, Porche, Aston, VW, Subaru, Mitsubushi etc but drivers with all varieties of car are there.Many of which are fully competitive race cars.

I for the 5th year running will be taking MOT 977L as my donation for the days proceedings, i will take out Turbomini forum members for a couple of fast laps for nothing provided you pay for another ride.

I do hope that some of you find the time to make this event as it is for a great cause and is a great day out.

Hopefully the 2 Radicals of Swift motorsport will turn up again and treat passengers to a serious thrill, these cars are powered by 1500 Honda GSXR Hayabusa engines, they lap at not far off F1 speeds!

John Chathams Austin Healy's are well worth a ride in to, nothing like a seat of your pants ride in a 1960's touring car!

And if it is raining like last year just remember your skin is waterproof and the track can be more thrilling!

I've been to this fantastic charity event for the past two years. My excuse for not going this year is that I live 2700miles away (approx).

What's everyone else's excuse?

Living near STOKE i thought this was close by but i now see it's at Combe so i can't make it.
Maybe in the future.

Have fun guys.
