Re: FISC EuroTour - Legendary Circuits Series (introduction)

Hi Pieter,

And welcome to Brakehorsepower! Your series looks particularly interesting to us Morgan 4 cylinder racers. Just for our benefit, what is the cut off date for eligibility?

Also due to the length of some of the races, are they two driver races?

Cheers

Mark

Re: Morgans V MG's

Bob, Great pictures! Some of the photos of my car clearly show the understeering problem I was experiencing. The Morgan boys on Sunday were so helpful in diagnosing the problem and suggesting the remedy - which I will certainly have effected for BDC Silverstone. Indeed I will have the tracking, camb...

Re: BDC Silverstone TT - 2nd August - Regs Now Out

Hi Leigh,

It would ge good to see you at the TT. I know Jim Lowry (of Equipe GTS fame) has a 1960's Plus 4 that would be eligible - but I don't think the engine is up and running yet. I will check with him at this weekends big MG weekend at Silverstone.

Cheers

Re: BDC Silverstone TT - 2nd August - Regs Now Out

Just a reminder to all you Plus 4 and 4/4 drivers not to prevaricate! Get your entry into the BDC smartish for the TT race at Silverstone on 2nd August as you may remember from my conversation with them at their Competitors Day before Christmas that they will select cars on a 'first come, first serv...

Ooops - sorry! I didn't realise this was a locked site. I must have accidentally stumbled into it! Don't know how that happened.

PS Bob, I find your missives erudite, literate and very amusing.In fact at times like this - very funny! But don't worry - I won't tell anyone. They'll never know!

Hi John,

Yes I have entered and I know Richard Plant has also entered his Plus 8 in the 70's Roadsports race.

Who else?!

Re: See Red

Bob, It was very nice to meet you and your daughter at the weekend - she's obviously a very good judge of men!!! My 'derring do' at Redgate plus getting the bit between my teeth with those MGB's elevated me to 18th! I had been inspired by watching Tony go into Redgate 'on' the Vauxhall on his first ...

Re: HSCC - Silverstone International 10/11th May

Bob,

Great photos!

Looks like I will be the sole representative of the Morgan marque in the Equipe GTS race at the VSCC SeeRed meeting. Tim Hill did have an entry but his car has had an accident and so won't be able to compete.

See you there!

Cheers

Re: HSCC - Silverstone International 10/11th May

I am disappointed you are not racing with us this weekend too Simon. I am planning to be there on both Saturday and Sunday, but I think I will be a bit short of tickets. However I am sure it will not be a problem to get you in. If you ring me beforehand I will meet you at the entrance with a ticket ...

Re: Isn't It Quiet?

Hi Bob, Sorry to have missed you - only saw this posting today! Probably sheltering from the rain in one of the garages anyway! I was chosen to give VIP rides around the track in the Morgan(the black Plus 4 Supersports)but guess what, nobody seemed very keen to go round in what I think was the only ...

Hi John,

Well done at Donington - I bet it was b....y cold!Again!

Why don't you do some of the HSCC meetings with us? There are also a couple of Equipe GTS races before Classic Le Mans ( you lucky devil !)

Look forward to seeing you again soon.

Cheers

Re: HSCC - Silverstone International 10/11th May

Morning John, I am going to enter Jim Lowrys Equipe GTS race which is a double header with a 30 min race on Saturday and another 30 min race on the Sunday. If I am unlucky and don't get an entry there is a 30 min race on the Sunday for the Signtec Trophy which I should get an entry for. Jim (and Ste...
