Hi,
I guess some of you guys know that I race my 1970 911E in the HSCC
70's Roadsports series. For anyone interested in starting racing it certainly
is a good place to begin. the membership is very reasonable £160
if I recall correctly. Races are held at most circuits, Silverstone, Brands
Snetterton,Donnington Park, Cadwell, Castle Combe, Oulton Park, and of course Spa.
Entry fees vary but usually around the £240 average..
the cameraderie and friendship is superb and I can guarantee that you
would be made to feel very welcome by all competitors.
The last two seasons Porsche was represented by 2 928s my 911 and this year a 924.
There is paddock talk of perhaps some more 911s
next year.
James, if you're thinking about don't leave as late as I did.
Wrong side of fifty! But didn't want to get to 75 and say.
"Oh I wish I'd done that now" It doesn't have to be all that expensive.
You don't need a crew. many of our guys drive their cars to the
circuits by themselves. That actually will gain you extra points.
there will always be people to help out if you do have a problem.
As Ian said , you do need your suit and helmet etc but they should last a good few seasons.
70's has slightly stricter regs re the cars. No fiberglass to replace metal panels,
some engine and suspension mods allowed but all cars have to road registered and MOTd and taxed. cage and safety equipment of course.

Always happy to help if you need any more info.
Did Spa three weeks ago, Silverstone finals last weekend and
off to Silverstone this weekend for the Birkett 6 hour relay.
Anybody fancy coming along?.
Don't dream about it, Do it!!!
Good luck
Paul
