Editorial Ramblings

S o, a new Acorn, and a new Editor! As I’m sure you’re aware, Dawn Travers had been looking for someone to take over for a while and having

served on committee in a Press & PR capacity for two and a half years, I decided to have a change. But don’t worry, Dawn will be back—she’s already been asked to look after an edition or two of Acorn next year when I get married and go on honeymoon! Thanks to her for all of her help and support, now I just need to try and fill her shoes - gulp! (Size 8 Suze!!- The Ex-Ed) I’ve met many of our members over the last few years when I’ve been competing but for those who don’t know who I am, you can find a “self interview” later in this issue. 7oaks have recently run two events, a scatter and a sprint at North Weald, and results, news and some pictures from those can be found in this edition. A good result on the scatter and a sunny day at North Weald rounded off a busy week for me, being my third event in a week, and so the long Easter weekend is a welcome break. I understand that there haven’t been many registrations for the Speed League this year, so please send your forms in [it is free!!!] to David Bal-derson. These are available on our website or at the back of Acorn. The Summer Autotest series kicks off this month and as always, Stacey Thompson is doing a great job of organising things. However, people always seem to enjoy the competing but don’t step in and help. If you can get out and marshal an evening or two, or give Stacey a hand in any way, I’m sure she would appreci-ate it. Also this month, we have two socials - Chin’s Quiz on the 20th May at The Bell, Kemsing, and a Scalectrix Night at The Bell, Kemsing, on the 26th organised by Nigel Mead. The Scalectrix Night has been organised for half term week so if you’re not away, hope to see you there for an evening of competitive fun! Congratulations go to April’s Monthly Mug winner, Ben Webber, for being the youngest person to take part in one of our club’s Car Trials, sitting alongside his Dad Andy in his Lotus Elan +2. Ben is one of the youngest members, competitors, and helpers in our club and can often be seen marshalling along with his younger sister Jade - maybe he will be seen autotesting in the not too distant future! If anybody has any suggestions for anything they would like to see included in Acorn, or any changes, please feel free to get in touch with me either by phone [details on the front page] or by email [email protected]. I will try and live up to Dawn’s legacy, but only time will tell! Lastly, please do try and send copy in on time - this magazine is what you, the members, make it with a little input from my-self, and event reports / photos / snippets of news are of course always welcome.

So long until next month... Suze Bisping

Chin’s Chairman’s Chat

I t was encouraging to see a reasonable number of you at the AGM, together with those who took the trouble to send their apologies there seems to be a

good level of enthusiasm within the club. This may have been generated by the presentation on Crystal Palace which followed but that would then indicate the support out there for this project. Although I wasn’t directly involved in the running of our April North Weald Sprint, I managed to get to the event by about lunchtime having spent a worthwhile morning at Sculthorpe launching the ASEMC Club Stage Championship. By the time I arrived the meet-ing was well under way and everyone was having a good time so I managed to have a good chat with several of you and then get roped in to dish out the awards. Well done top Chris Judge for FTD in his Jedi – he says it was the new sticky tyres that made the difference. The organising team did well and carried on our tradition of running an event for everyone to enjoy. As far as the 2010 Speed regulations go, I have made representations, under the ASEMC banner, to the Speed Committee of the MSA to check that the word-ing of their regs properly reflects their intentions as I don’t think they do as they stand. Also I have made the case for the limiting, in the road going classes, of tyres to those from List 1A. We’ll see what happens in due course. As was mentioned by Dawn last month, Suze Bisping has taken over as Acorn Editor – thank you Suze. I’m sure she’ll make a great job of it and, as I can tell by the magazine being almost ready by the deadline and Suze needing to chase me for this month’s drivel, she has the enthusiasm of youth on her side. Dawn has edited the Acorn for over 8 years if my memory serves me correctly which is a long time and an awful lot of hard work. The mag has grown in stature during that period with more pictures, the electronic version and the availability on our website – thank you Dawn. Crystal Palace is coming together and the promotional package is almost ready for us all to go out into the commercial world and achieve the partnerships we need to get this great event under way. The website is up (www.motorsportatthepalace.co.uk) and is beginning to take shape, so watch that space for developments. We need to raise a substantial amount of funding so please all members do what they can to raise that cash. Nigel Mead is coordinating this effort so, if you have any contacts that may be interested in joining us on this event, please let Nigel know 01892 832420 or [email protected] Well, that’s it for this month – I hope to see as many of you as possible at the Evening Autotests.

Club Social Calendar What’s On in 2009?

Wednesday 20th May Quiz Night—rescheduled due to lack of participants in January. Chin has been busy compiling devious and not so devi-ous questions to test your skill. Bring a team or join up with mates on the night for a fun evening. The Bell, Kemsing from 8.30pm.

Wednesday 16th July Skittles at the Haycutter Inn, Oxted. Following on from the skittles night last summer, we’ll once again be returning to the Haycutter Inn for another evening of fun (and no doubt some friendly competition!). Wednesday 16th August Bat & Trap evening, please contact Dawn Travers for more information. We are still looking for a new Social Secretary.

Sevenoaks Scatter 2nd April 2009 Thanks to all for your support on the night, it was great to see so many of you. I trust you enjoyed the event. Hope to see you all later in the year for more of the same when it gets dark again! Andy Elcomb Results below:

A big thanks to Andy for running the event. The sticker format worked well – it was the first time I had done an event where you were looking for stickers and not telegraph pole numbers etc. The clues were straightforward to plot, though of course with the event being on both maps 188 and 189, this got nav Daren Hall moaning, as Andy has been known to comment on before! With Daren’s quick plotting and good calls, there wasn’t much for me to do apart from drive around some of Kent’s lovely lanes for the evening. We were deducted 5 points for allegedly being 1 minute late back to the pub, but we both say that was Andy’s dodgy watch! We followed Nigel & Rosemary Mead and Kevin & Tarna Ablitt for a while, but lost them at one point. It was good to see so many crews supporting the event, the only downside of this being that Andy wasn’t expecting so many and had to hurriedly prepare some more copies of the clues! Jason An-drews and Shelly Albrow were out for the first time in their Tiger, as a “birthday treat” for Shelly and there was a wide variety of cars out, as you can see from above. If you haven’t tried a scatter before, make sure you look out for the dates when they start up again later in the year. With very cheap entry fees (normally around the £10 mark) they are great fun for both driver and navigator, and one of the cheapest forms of motorsport you can try. Suze Bisping

Wanted: Rally Car Parts Due to upgrading my 1.0 Micra to an Endurance Rally car, I am currently looking for a few bits and pieces for the car.

Three French Hillclimbs Extend hand of Friendship.

T hree fantastic hills in three weeks…… The three top hillclimb venues in the west of France St Goueno in Brittany, Hebecrevon in Normandy and La Pommeraye in the Pays de Loire have joined forces to welcome drivers from the UK and Ireland to take

part in their events this May. All three are national status events held on closed public roads and are part of the Championat de France de la Montagne which is considered to be the one of the best in Europe. La Pommeraye is situated between Nantes and Angers and at 250km from St Malo is the furthest away. The 2.5km course run up through a vineyard which produces the well-known Anjou wines. The middle section of this course is famous throughout France for it’s long flowing esses which are taken at well over 200 kph…. if you are brave enough. Hebecrevon’s course has a length of 2.2 km, it is narrow at the beginning but then joins the route nationale, which is very wide and flowing, cornering speeds have to be seen to be believed. The paddock is literally the vil-lage with the most sought after pitches being adjacent to the bar. St Goueno’s 3.2 km course winds its way up through a wooded valley, a bit like Wiscombe park in Devon only much longer and much faster. St Goueno is also famous for it’s evening soirees and it’s 350 volunteers. Any MSA licence will enable drivers to take part in the GB Masters demonstration runs which are fully timed. Cars are subject to a few safety requirements. All three events are run by not-for-profit associations who are keen to make new friends and to show the French spectators how it is done a l’Anglais. Trailer storage is available for those wishing to return home between events. La Pommeraye 9/10 May. Hebecrevon 16/17 May. St Goueno 23/24 May. For more information contact John LLOYD. Email: [email protected]

SKI HOLIDAY IN ITALY 2010

Christine and David Balderson invite you to join them for a skiing holiday in La Thuile, Italy on Sunday 10th January 2010, to stay in the 4* Planibel Hotel which is opposite the slopes (details can be found in the Neilson brochure).

The cost is £609 per person but depending on the number in the group, there should be a discount to this cost.

This is a good skiing resort for beginners as well as experienced skiers. La Thuile links up with La Rosiere in France to provide 150km pistes. Ski from Italy to France and back again in just one day.

Please let Christine and David know if you are interested by the end of June.

Rallye Sunseeker – 27th & 28th February 2009 The day dawned bright, clear and warm in Horsham and stayed that way as I set off for Bournemouth. I had a nice easy run down to my first stop, Rally HQ at the Highcliff hotel. After picking up my passes and most of my paperwork (I had forgotten to pick up my check sheets) I made my way to scrutineering at the little down centre to see long time family friend, John Monk. After a quick chat, I made my way to the Premier Inn at Ferndown where I found Clive and Judy Cooke waiting patiently for me. Chris Scudder had been delayed on route so Clive, Judy and I took a seat in the restaurant and began to set the world to rights. (Question, if you go out on a first date to a restaurant, is it ok to use a two for one voucher? NO!!! The Ed). Chris soon arrived and we ate our meal and checked into the hotel.

We made our way to the service park at Canford Arena where we made ourselves a cup of coffee and sorted out the clocks and paperwork and waited for the safety cars to arrive. While we were waiting sev-eral competitors asked us questions about time cards and start times as per usual. As night fell the first safety car, a Mk2 Escort, drew into the control and was dispatched into the night. Clive and Judy have experience of time controls, but mainly from inside the car so they kept a close eye on what was happening. Gradually the field filtered through, the Land Rovers

first who were doing a demonstration run through the Seafront stage.

Unfortunately, all did not go well on the seafront. First the stage was delayed when a Range Rover competing in the main event clipped a park bench, removing most of the left front corner in the process. Both of the crew were ok but later that evening a Subaru Impreza drifted wide on a fast left hander, felling a large lamp post before coming to a stop 120 yards later. The driver took the brunt of the impact and had to be cut free by the Stage Rescue Unit and County Fire & Rescue. The delay meant that the stage was cancelled with the top 17 cars not having had a chance to tackle the stage. Slowly the cars filed back to the service area for the evening where we were waiting to sign them in for the evening. Job done we handed our paperwork to the Course Closing car driven by none other than Colin Billings who was amusingly sporting a Rugby shirt with the number ten on the back. We returned to the restaurant where we grabbed a light snack and had a few more drinks before getting our heads down for the night. Saturday dawned bright and clear too and after checking out of the hotel we made our way back to the Service Park and set about sending the competi-tors out into the Dorset countryside for a days compe-tition. The results from Friday night were handed out by a team of students from Bournemouth University, showing the top 17 competitors tied for first place hav-ing been given nominal times. The first loop of stages was quite dramatic - pre-event favourite Marcus Dodd went out with engine failure, Paul Bird’s new toy, a 06 Focus WRC was retired after a wiring loom caught light during a stage and Steve Perez’s similar machine got stuck in a ditch. We also had a problem with Car 48, the co-driver had worked out the due time wrong and wasn’t happy that they were almost 15 minutes late. She was

convinced that they’d been held up on the busy A31 and no amount of reasoning was calming her down. The problem was eventually solved when the driver realised that she hadn’t added the correct time from the previous stage finish. After the mistake was corrected and she

apologised they were sent on their way. The first Service wasn't a good one for ‘Team Sevenoaks;’ Stefan Davis had to retire his Peugeot 205 after running out of oil and Colin Billings was delayed after running over a metal spike and having to change the resulting puncture. After the Service in control was done I checked on Clive and Judy who were running the regroup out control on the other side of the service park. Although they hadn’t much experience, they had settled into the flow of things comfortably and were doing a fine job.

The gap between the first and second services was spent listening to the radio, drinking coffee and spending the lunch vouchers we had been given at the burger van. Second service soon rolled round though and we were back in action, this time with Chris on the clock and time cards and me filling out the check sheet. Again we had to deal with crews that were late but they posed no real problem and everything ran smoothly for us. Car 48 was still running and managing to work out the times correctly and took my light hearted teasing with good grace. Eventually all the cars had come in and gone out again and it was left to us to drink some more coffee, use the rest of the meal vouchers and set up the final Regroup In/ Regroup Out controls. Unfortunately all was not well out on the stages though, Stage 12 being stopped due to a spectator having a suspected heart attack. The mid point rescue & doctor were dispatched into the stage but the delay meant that those crews that had not fin-ished S12 or 13 were given nominal times and directed straight back to Canford and into the regroup in control. There we sorted out the top three cars and queued the rest up waiting to be dispatched to the finish ramp in Bournemouth. The top three cars were given a police escort into Bournemouth and soon the rest of the cars followed one by one at minute intervals. Once all the cars had been dealt with we had a quick clear up operation and bid our farewells before hitting the road back home. I had a distinct advantage, being how I only live in West Sussex, so it was a short hop across the A31, along the M27 towards Chichester then up the A24 - home in no time. Thanks to Chris for his ever continuing support, and to Clive and Judy who assure me that I haven’t scared them off completely for next year (last years victims, sorry volunteers, left the country!). Also thanks to whoever supplied the weather, dry and sunny - perhaps The Sunseeker isn’t such a silly name after all? That’s it from me for now; I’ve got to get back to sorting my pension out. Happy motor-sporting! Phil Fawcett All photos in this article courtesy of Andrew Bisping

Deadline for copy for the June edition is 20th May.

Anything received after this date will not be included.

Miglia Quadrato - Night of 9th/10th May 2009 City of London

U nited Hospitals and University of London Motor Club have issued regs for this year’s Miglia Quadrato. For those of you who may not have heard of it, this is a competitive motoring event held entirely within the City of London, with the full co-operation of the

City of London Police. As a treasure hunt it is an exempt event - for which a certificate of exemption (number

50834) is issued by the MSA. The 2009 Miglia Quadrato is the fiftieth such event and will run on the night of 9/10 May starting at midnight.

It is unique in that it takes place entirely within the City of London. The challenge is to navi-gate on a 1:10000 map and to locate points to within a ten metre square - where the answer to a question should be sought. There are no cryptic or catch questions - but that is not to say the task is easy. Indeed, many seasoned crews return each year and competitors with full rally ex-perience will be as challenged as those with no such experience. It truly is an event for all. A history of fifty years attests to that. With its accessibility to crews of up to six it can be a very enjoyable social event. But if you prefer the two-crew format there is a separate classification for this. Every year we get entrants from around the country. The fact that many travel consid-erable distance and return each year is another indication of its appeal.

If you would like any further information please do not hesitate to email John Gilbert at [email protected]

SO NEARLY DREAM DEBUT FOR DAVIS Rally Driver Stefan Davis contested the 1st round of the fastest British one make car series this Weekend, the Malcolm Wilson Rally based near the Ford World Rally Team HQ in Cockermouth, Carlisle. Stefan was co-driven by Rally Driver apprentice and girlfriend Louise Cook who is planning to contest the 205 challenge herself as a driver in one month’s time. The crew had only purchased the car the day before the rally and Stefan’s first drive of the car was the road section down to the start ramp. Despite this Stefan was committed out of the box and set a cracking 4th place time amongst the seventeen Fiesta crews. In Stage 4 Stefan managed his first fastest time in the championship and not only that, Stefan had now taken the lead! It was all to come to an unfortunate end when the suspension lower arm fell out of the hub 300m from the end of stage 6. Stefan fitted the car back together at the side of the stage as nothing had broke and drove the car out but the time loss was massive. So, the service crew fitted a new arm after the stage but the problem and the worn component turned out to be the hub when the crew were left stranded at the side of the long road back to Penrith for the final 2.5 miles stage so were un-able to complete the rally.. “It was so near to a dream start. We thought before the rally that 5th place in a car we have never driven would have been a cracking result but to have pushed on to take the lead was like a dream come true. We have battled for two seasons with a complicated car and when I have a car less technical that I simply have to drive really fast, I have proved that I can do it,” said Stefan. The Fiesta Sporting Trophy is the most hotly contested championship in Britain and the equal car strategy means that genuine driver talent can rise to the surface.

WELSH WOES FOR DAVIS Rally Driver Stefan Davis contested the 2nd round of the British fastest one make series the Kick Energy Fiesta Sporting Trophy on the Bulldog International Rally of North Wales. The rally was based around the welsh town of Bala. Stefan was co-driven by Kim Baker for the first time. The team were in good spirits after nearly winning the first round just three weeks ago and were very much looking forward to a flat out attack on the Welsh terrain. Things got off to a bizarre start when the service crew managed to roll the car onto its roof at just 7mph before load-ing the car onto the trailer. “It was the strangest thing that has happened before a rally, the car was basically destroyed on the driveway before it had left. Fair play to the boys, they worked flat out through the night to get the car driveable and had an emergency 24 hour glass repair chap replace every window” said Stefan. “The car felt ok on the road section but as soon as we started the 1st stage it was clear we had lost power somewhere”. With the car spending a short amount of time on its roof with no oil it would seem that the engine had taken the brunt. Stefan also reported an electrical switch that was giving inconsistent earth to the car making power issues even worse! “We had a good blast threw the last stage once we had temporarily fixed the electrics, the car didn’t die off and was pulling to 7,000rpm for the first time all day. We were still 3.5 seconds a mile off the leading pace, but we can work on the sus-pension and power for the next event to reduce that gap.” Davis looks hard to gain the support needed to get to the Pirelli International.

The Backward Archive presents: 1970 Valence Hillclimb Sevenoaks & District Motorclub ran the1970 Valence Hillclimb on 25th July. Spectators were asked to part with 2/6d, while a programme was just 6d. The man with all the power was Clerk of the Course David Stevens.

Class A saloons up to 850cc kicked off the event, with 7 Minis taking on sprinting legend (no, not Chris Judge), Wally Pratt in his Fiat Ar-barth 850TC. Next somewhat less logically was Class D saloons over 1300cc. This saw three Sevenoaks rally cross aces all in Escort Twin cams, fighting for class honours. Rod Chapman came out on top from John Taylor and Roy Edwards. Another 7Oaks ace, Peter Warren, was also in the class with his Cortina Twin-cam. A break from all the Fords saw Sheila Boulden in her Rover 2000 T/C. Logic returned with the next class B 850 to 1000cc, with many Mini Coopers including road saloon founder Tim Dodwell and Sue

Walleans. One odd ball in the class was Chin (no comment!) in the Morris Chinspeed Minor. Class C followed for 1001 to 1300cc cars, mainly 7Oaks members in Mini Cooper S models. This included race ace Bernard Bird and rally star Harvey Crush. In non Minis were Ron Lewis’ Brabham Viva and Arthur Dann’s NSU 1200TT. Next were the GT cars in Class E, up to 1200cc, with Sprites and a Triumph Herald! Class G was GT cars 1201cc to 1650cc, with Nick Ramus’s quick Midget and Tony Brown’s Austin Healy Lenham GT Sprite. GT cars 1651cc to 2500ccwas Class G and saw Phil Holliday’s do anything Triumph TR2. There was a mass entry of Gilberns with three Gilbern 1800 GTs entered for Martin Ingall, John Classey and Dr Paul Scott. John Bloomfield had his road car Porsche 911 rather than his Group 2 race Escort. Another entry was Irvine Laidlaw in a Morgan 4/4. Was this Lord Laidlaw, today’s well known historic race ace with lots of mouth-watering cars, I wonder? The final GT class was for over 2500cc cars and featuring BARC members with 5 Jaguar E-Types taking on 4 Austin Healy 3000s. The three Sevenoaks members had a touch of class with John Hig-gett’s pre-war Bentley, Bob Gooda’s Maserati Indy and Dick Faulks pre-war Bugatti Type SS road car. The first sports racing car Class I for up to 1200cc cars and fea-tured Charles Saunders’ Lola Clomax Mk1 and Julian Dussek’s Lo-tus 7. The over 1200cc sports car class saw amongst the entry Gordon Viola’s Manta Jaguar and David Stare’s Ginetta G12. Class K for single seaters under 1200cc gave us our FTD man, the very quick Peter Voigt in his Formula 4 Ginetta Imp G17. His opposition came from a couple of very rare Formula Jun-ior cars, Roger Mortimer’s OSCA and David Wilson’s Caravelle. The final Class L for single seaters over 1200cc saw Peter Voigt out again in the Dove III with a supercharged bike engine in the rear. Roger Willoughby had also supercharged his quick Brabham Ford and also super-charged was John Playford’s wonderful Bugatti T51 pre-war Grand Prix car. So there was the ninth Valence Hill Climb that was to continue to the last event in 1996. My grateful thanks to Geoff Turner for giving the photos for the archive, before going off to sunny Spain.

Self Interview - Suze Bisping

What’s your day job?

Administration Manager for a telecommunications company, having just given up working as cabin crew for BA.

What three random facts about you do most members not know?

• Before sport, music was my first hobby – I play the flute, guitar, piano and drums • My Dad was a member of a Weald Club [Croydon] many, many years ago before moving from

Surrey to Hampshire and latterly Wiltshire – it’s just a co-incidence I’ve ended up becoming a member of a club in the same area

• I got my race National B license a few days before taking, and passing, my driving license

When did you join 7oaks?

2006

What or who inspired you to get into motor sport?

My Dad – he always took me to watch motorsport at the weekend. When I was very young [4 onwards] my Mum worked alternate weekends, and so Sundays were for “Grand Prix picnics” with Dad – we’d sit in the lounge on the picnic rug in front of the Grand Prix eating food my Mum wouldn’t normally let us have, like ravioli!

What was your first competition car, and why did you choose it?

A 1.3 Nissan Micra Super S – it was my first car, and I bought it because it was cheap! It later be-came one of my competition cars.

Brief competing history to present...

I first competed in 2006 on sprints, autotests and Car Trials [or PCTs then] amongst other things. In 2007 I expanded this to include a Formula Vee race at Silverstone and scatters, and in 2008 added autosolos, gymkhanas, 12 cars and a Nat B Road Rally, The Preston, to that list. In 2009 I’m doing more of the same, but hoping to compete on my first Endurance Rally too.

What’s your current competition car?

We have four cars in our household, all of which have been used to compete in! We have a 1.3 Nis-san Micra Super S, a 1.0 Nissan Micra which is currently being built into an Endurance Rally car, a standard Rover 214 and an Endurance Rally / stage spec Rover 214.

What’s your dream competition car and why? A Mk2 Escort – Dad had one, and I’ve heard lots about it, and you could permanently go sideways – fantastic! What’s your favourite venue / corner and why? I love Castle Combe having lived locally for 10 years. However, I love the Indy and Grand Prix Circuits at Brands Hatch, espe-cially Paddock Hill.

What’s been your worst or most expensive accident?

Touch wood, nothing major to date! Although I did once “bump” my fiancé Matt’s rally Rover into a tree, resulting in a dent and me paying for a new rear light.

What’s your dream event, to compete, marshal or spectate on and why? I would love to compete on Rallye Sunseeker, simply because it’s the first rally I remember going to and I loved spectating in Ringwood Forest and on the sea front.

SDMC Car Trial Stoneacre Farm

O n March 15th, Sevenoaks and District Motor Club ran a Car Trial at Stoneacre Farm, Otham, near Maidstone. A strong entry of 26 competitors turned up on a bright sunny day, to do battle with the Kent Countryside watched by a field of sheep.

The first group of six tests out of eighteen saw Sevenoaks’ Daren Hall pull out a two point lead over MMKMC’s Ken Kimber, Daren’s Nova finding the slightly slippery conditions more to it’s liking than Ken’s immaculate 1972 NSU TT. The second group of six tests saw Ken reversing the tables on Daren, as he took a two points lead as the Nova and driver struggled in the drying conditions. It was all to play for on the final six tests. A mighty charge from Daren saw him win the trial overall by two points from ken. Overheating in the rear engine NSU over the final few tests did not help Ken’s cause. These two left the rest of the field behind, their nearest challenger in third was Ray Lane, another 14 points behind. Mention must be made though of Andy Webber, who used the most unsuitable car ever seen at a Car Trial. Andy brought along his sprint racing Lotus Elan +2. This much tuned car was skil-fully driven by Andy to complete the first six tests without any damage. Infact he took two top scores, but unfortunately then had to go to a christening. He is such an enthusiast he had to come and play, a true clubman.

ASEMC Speed Championship

Andy Webber proved the highest placed Sevenoaks member in the 2008 ASEMC Speed Championship. Driving his trusty Lotus Elan, he took a number of class wins and some very com-petitive performances saw him win the championship road-going up to 2-litre class by a country mile.

Stephen Thompson drove his Honda Civic Type R to class victory in the standard production sa-loon category, while Bob Hoare came 5th in the road-going up to 1400cc class driving his (now his-toric) 1000cc Chamois Imp. Dave Balderson finished 6th in the over 2-litre road-going class.

The Overall winner of the Championship was Borough 19 motor club member Kim Adams driving his very quick Mitsubishi EVO. Kim, along with all the other prize winners, were awarded their tro-phies at the Brands Hatch Thistle Hotel recently. Next year's ASEMC prize giving will celebrate three championships due to the creation of a new Car Trial and Stage Rally championship. Both these new challenges have already begun to flourish. If you would like details of any ASEMC Championships please contact myself or Chin.

Happy motoring! Chris Judge

SDMC North Weald Sprint, 5th April 2009

T he second round of the Sevenoaks & District Motor Club Speed League season was at the familiar venue of North Weald. A

beautiful sunny day was a welcome change from the snow experienced at the venue a year previ-ously! With varied entry numbers across the classes, competition for the honours in classes B3 and B4 was particularly close, but it was Mark Garner in his Renault Spider and Bill McKenna in his Por-sche who finally took home the spoils. Fastest Time of the Day went to Chris Judge, who had been out competing the previous day at Lydden Hill. His beautiful looking Jedi was on fine form and he took the overall award with the Seven of Paul Bowden not far behind in 2nd overall. A few car gremlins were experienced dur-ing the day including the Metro 6R4 of David Daniel which broke a driveshaft on the way to scrutineering and a few others who fell by the wayside during the event. As Andy Elcomb mentioned on the day, competi-tor feedback is always valuable and appreciated. With a medium sized entry, there was some “spare time” at the end of the day, and as he asked on the day, knowing what competitors would like is important. For the future, would you prefer to see: • A fun run • A fourth timed run • Two laps of the course (having completed

the majority of the course once, instead of doing a hairpin right, turn right back down to the banjo and then complete the course).

If you have any thoughts, please let him know. Drop him an email at [email protected] or give him a call; his contact details are at the front of the magazine. As most of you will be aware, there were photog-raphers attending the event and their photo-graphs can be found at http://www.zoomworksphotography.com/portfolio53683.html from where you can also pur-chase prints of the event. Congratulations to all the class winners on the day, and of course thanks to all the marshals and organisers as always.

Feedback from the event: Well done Andy, had a great day, lovely weather as well. Thanks for allowing Jason to go out a couple of times. Shelly, spectator and helper A good day thanks to all who did the work, and arranged the weather. Steve “sideways” Stringer, car 67 Thanks to the organising team and the marshals, who I guess may be a bit red now! Matt Endean, car 7 Just a quick thanks to Andy and co for their usual slick and professional running of Sundays event whilst maintaining a friendly and informal atmos-phere. The few problems that did occur were dealt with promptly and with minimum fuss, de-spite only managing third in class, I had a very enjoyable day and was awarded with a very nice trophy for my efforts. Peter Moore, car 17 Our thanks to all the team for putting it together - Keith on entries, Phil for the manpower, Chris-tine / Rosemary & Stacey for twiddling their thumbs in the donated caravenette (joke - hon-est!), Alan F for providing said office, Clive Cooke for the van and equipment and of course Chin and Ian for their behind the scenes work - cheers all. Thanks also to the competitors - not a single wrong route all day and a few entertaining spins to keep the marshals awake. What more could we ask. Andy Elcomb, Clerk of the Course

The MSA's Let's Go Karting scheme allows children between eight and 16 to have a go in a kart for just £5. For those aged eight and over, there are Junior Dragsters and Cadet kart racing, while special classes in autograss, autotests, rallycross, circuit racing and rallying cater for teenagers of 14 and older. The Development Officers will work closely with the existing motor sport infrastructure in their areas, including Regional Associations, venues, events and MSA recognised clubs. Their names and the areas they will cover are: Mark James, South Wales (based in Swansea) Rob Manger, Southern England (Alton, Hampshire) Duncan Vincent, Scotland (Knockhill) Anthony Dunn, North East (Durham) Phil Glew, North/North West (Sheffield) Jonathan McDonald, Northern Ireland Ed Pead, Midlands (Northampton) Tom Gaymor, South East (London) Meanwhile, www.GoMotorsport.net is worth visiting regularly as it is frequently updated. If your club is not listed, a club official should complete the questionnaire which can be downloaded from http://files.e2ma.net/2971/assets/docs/go_motorsport_questionnaire.xls.
