Gaz Walker Posted July 2, 2007 Share Posted July 2, 2007 JB - Chris has said they've not had a form or any contact from Leon... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Branners Posted July 2, 2007 Share Posted July 2, 2007 I heard through the grapevine that he isnt up for it this year. I will pop round and have a chat with him later. He may still come up with the family to watch but I dont think he will be running which is a shame. JB Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ian C Posted July 2, 2007 Author Share Posted July 2, 2007 If you still need to pay up, you can do a bank transfer to this account: TOTB Ltd HSBC Sheffield Darnall Sort Code 40-41-08 Acc no 31632388 And then send an email to: [email protected] Saying who you are and what payment you just made. Deadline has been moved to 8th July to get stragglers and make up for the postal strike. -Ian Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Steve Sherwood Posted July 2, 2007 Share Posted July 2, 2007 I'll give them a call on Monday Brian to see what the deal is like. What size are you after? Gaz. Gaz I may need a pair of 295/30/18s before TOTB would help if TOYO will give discount. Is any one going to the top speed day at Elvington this Sunday?

Branners Posted July 3, 2007 Share Posted July 3, 2007 I knew it was a mistake saying they had extended the application date... currently only the following people have signed up ADAM SHERWOOD KEV HUNTLEY ROBERT McKOEN so those of you who said you were going to run need to get a wriggle on please. Im still in discussions with Leon about going. He should be allowed to run in the ROAD class if he changes his front wheels...which should be fun.

Branners Posted July 3, 2007 Share Posted July 3, 2007 those names were hot off the press this morning when I asked Chris Mann about which class Leon would run in. Maybe email Chris to find out if its there. JB Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
michael Posted July 3, 2007 Share Posted July 3, 2007 I'm fairly sure that Chris must have 2 letterboxes, one of which he doesn't know about The Postman manages to lose 50% of my entries every year, this time around the odds are a little better but it's still something like 40%. Are Royal Mail really this bad? TOTB 2008 needs a new method of entering and paying, online form, online payment - instant, no Royal Mail to screw it up.

tDR Posted July 3, 2007 Share Posted July 3, 2007 Just dropped Chris an email to check if he has my application. Agreed the method to sign up needs to be easier / modernised. Cheers, Brian. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gaz Walker Posted July 3, 2007 Share Posted July 3, 2007 I did the TOTB website for the first couple of years. If I was still doing it, I'm damn sure it would have online participants etc! Gaz. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tDR Posted July 5, 2007 Share Posted July 5, 2007 Well, Chris Mann confirmed I'm paid up and on the list Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gaz Walker Posted July 9, 2007 Share Posted July 9, 2007 I've spoken to Chris about the tyre prices and he's coming back to me tonight, although he did say that Camskill were very very cheap for Toyo's at the moment. Also, I need to order the race fuel for the event this week. Does anyone want any VP or Klotz fuel for the event? We can bring it down in the Jeep saving you on delivery. Regards, Gaz.

michael Posted July 9, 2007 Share Posted July 9, 2007 Also, I need to order the race fuel for the event this week. I presume this is just for sniffing at the event rather than for use in the cars? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Branners Posted July 9, 2007 Share Posted July 9, 2007 I presume this is just for sniffing at the event rather than for use in the cars? have they changed the rules on the fuel then? JB Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ian C Posted July 9, 2007 Author Share Posted July 9, 2007 No they haven't, Mikey is making a point I'm gonna run race fuel to help my shonky single turbo engine hang together for a few seconds. -Ian Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Alex Posted July 9, 2007 Share Posted July 9, 2007 doesnt BP supply a 102ron fuel at its pumps in special locations? JB It does indeed - but I expect it doesn't come close to oxygenated 109ron SSSSSSSUL. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Branners Posted July 9, 2007 Share Posted July 9, 2007 It does indeed - but I expect it doesn't come close to oxygenated 109ron SSSSSSSUL. thats just sales patter, its just like octane booster but comes in a bigger container At TOTB 2 years ago Terry gave me some toluene for the run home and I was amazed the difference it made. Shudder to think what 109 would do for my car. JB Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

michael Posted July 9, 2007 Share Posted July 9, 2007 Although the rules still state "pump fuel" and race fuel gets pumped at some time Just don't make a big show of it on the day because there is bound to be some snitch who decides to kick up a fuss.

A few of my chaps are planning on "taking some along" that would be an interesting discussion if they picked somebody off for using race fuel when clearly the top guys are running some serious potions to get the performance they do. Its a funny old event isnt it. JB Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
