Have spoken to Phil and he has said please continue to book under the Best of British as mentioned above, he is trying to move away from themed weekends as it results in people thinking they can’t come. So yes, even though it says Best Of British our event is on and the bookings are the same, it just has a name attached to it.

I see £38 as being correct for you. That may be an admin error there, I think the person next to you on the list is the £22. I’ll confirm with Ian.
After checking the order form you seem to have two orders, one for baseball caps and one for a t-shirt. They seem to have been made at different times. If you don't want the t-shirt please advise. thank you. Edit: Spit appears to have said this too

I'll be there too but in the Lola this weekend.
The entry list will not be fixed for some weeks yet, the venue usually send the list out about 4 weeks before the event date, so some 2 or 3 weeks to wait.

i will be very disappointed if I don't get a place, but this is a premier event for Shelsley and will be well oversubscribed with some choice machines and drivers, so I'm not optimistic!

There is a big meeting on at Prescott hill on the Sunday which I have done rather than enter this Shelsley meeting in the past, and also a Club show that is being put to me to attend to promote hillclimbing.

Sadly not Clive - my car does not have any whiff of nostalgia about it so not let in!

My Lola is 1978 so too young too.
Has been decades since the 911 was at Prescott, Loton or Shelsley Walsh.

If I get in I will have to drive even more carefully than usual, esp if there are 15 DDK Judges watching...
