ERC Race Series - Euro Saloons & Sports

[ERC]

nzeder has taken possession of my much loved 1293cc engine. The state of his original engine beggars belief. No wonder it went bang. Either someone needed a stronger arm or a torque wrench or better still, should leave building engines to those who know what they are doing. At least my engine was originally built by someone trustworthy and I sincerely hope that as a spare engine, it serves Mike well. I never even got beyond the running in stage with it, so looking forward to seeing how well it goes. Not a race engine but built for fast road use.

Welcome to the renewals and the new drivers. We are now on 108 paid up for the year. Slightly up on this time last year.

Entries for the Porsche Festival are a little lower than the promises, but still great grids for each weekend. Some are doing weekend 1 only, some weekend 2 only and as fair few doing both weekends. Friday will be as last year, with a morning practice and an afternoon scratch race. The other four races will be handicaps, as they proved to be very popular last year and no winner is ever guaranteed.

As at end November, 28 for weekend 1 and 39 for weekend 2 - and one or two known tardy ones no doubt...

The man to watch from scratch will probably be Bruce Manon - again, but this time in his own car, not Mike Sexton's.
