red90 driver Posted November 29, 2011 Share Posted November 29, 2011 Looking forward to this seeing as our truck is just about ready after nearly 2 years in build / rebuild. I take it that an MSA Clubman B license is required? Membership of AWDC? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Boothy Posted December 1, 2011 Author Share Posted December 1, 2011 Round 3 will be the 9th September at Mow Cop, near Congleton, Staffs/Cheshire border, this is instead of the 26th August. I'm trying to find a way to edit my original post. Also by pre entering all 4 rounds at £240 this represents a saving of £5 / event making each pre entered round £60 as a pose to £65 for each individual round. More to follow soon Chris Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rightfoot Posted December 2, 2011 Share Posted December 2, 2011 I was planning on having a year off, but could be tempted by four events. Alan and I'd be really interested in the scoring system, as we're debating what to do - stick with the single centre winch which we know or go front and centre, or front and rear, or front centre and rear, then its a question of no lockers, one locker, two lockers Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
