Powernights. Morgan Races?
Posted: Fri May 09, 2008 12:05 pm
Last night I attended the first of the 2008 'Powernights' meetings at Silverstone (http://www.powernights.com" onclick="window.open(this.href);return false;).
The meeting hosts 10 races for five different classes of cars, two for each class,and the classes are governed more by who and what enters than any particular type, ie Invitation Saloons, Invitation Sports Cars etc..
I spoke to the organisers and they are more than happy to accomodate any club or group who would like to be included in the meeting,either in a seperate race or within existing events. It is not a series or a championship, just a race evening. No points but quite handsome prize money.
The point is that if a number of Morgan drivers got together and entered as a group there would be a number of advantages, firstly the circuit opens at 9.0am and each driver gets two practice sessions, a qualifying session and at least two races. Entry fee is £295 and includes entry tickets and tickets for the 'Party-in-the-Paddock' barbecue after the races, what is more if there were at least 12 entries they would each receive a £100 voucher redeemable at the circuit fuel station, GP Raceware and other outlets. or may be used to defray cost of entering next meeting. The meeting is on the National Circuit and the races are for ten minutes and many are run on a pursuit basis.Slower cars get a start. OK! John Clarke?
It might suit those who live close by, or who can take time off and don't mind a schlep! The whole evening is designed to be family friendly and there are Scaletrix sets to be won by the spectators by predicting the winners. Normal entry is £10 per person kids free.
None of my business really, but if you need someone to liase with Motion Works I would be happy to help.
