thanks Mick. The diff's pretty sha55ed and making all sorts of noises so I'm not sure if I'll take part or just watch. Looking forward to it though.

racing starts at 10 am so it's best to arrive 9- am ish as there is a quick scrutineer check to be done 1st then sign up and pay, take a p1ss etc .

the post code is YO42 4SS


and scotch corner post code is. DL10 6PQ

so it's leave scotch corner 7.45 am sharp!
