Sunday Test Day from 10-00 am until 4-30 pm NORASPORT Championship Final 2010 This is also the final of the Norasport Blyton Masters Championship and is great fun to watch. For the uninitiated these are Drakart Superlight buggies some with monster 2 stroke power. They come in two classes and put on a great show. They are loud and spectacular to watch. Anyone in an RX150 fancy taking them on? Test Drives Passenger Rides There will be passenger rides available in a variety of cars from the MDA. There will be a small charge for these rides to help cover costs. It gives a great opportunity to those who rarely get to experience the fantastic thrill of being in a real Rallycross car on the circuit. Passengers must have a suitable helmet and clothing - no shorts or T shirts!
Any driver who is registered for the MDA, BTRDA or British championship
can also take their loved ones out in their own Rallycross car for a
nominal fee. This will give you the opportunity to show your team, family
or friends exactly what you get up to on the circuit. Conditions apply
and sensible precautions will be taken. We do not want anyone getting
hurt! This was a popular event last year and Paul has kindly offered to host the event again. Entry fee for this year will be £10-00 and the event will challenge even the very best drivers to the limit as they try to negotiate a specially laid out route in one of LMS Entertainments Chuckle Buggies. Against the clock and trying to avoid penalties for hitting markers or leaving the track drivers can only steer these unique vehicles by way of levers...yes sound tactics are the best way to go but hey we're talking Rallycross and Norasport drivers here so watch out!! Reverse Steer Grand Challenge New for 2010 is the grand reverse steer challenge. I know a lot of you pride yourselves on your high levels of driving skill and your ability to make your car go exactly where you want it to go on the track. Well if you are up for it put your reputation on the line and take the challenge of negotiating round a specially laid out course in LMS Entertainments unique reverse steering car. Entry is £10-00 and from the funds raised we will donate a sum to a local charity.

So now consider this, Kiefer broke his gearbox and was in the mix, but will be next time, John Thacker didn’t get his car finished, but will have by next time, Mark Griffin, has sorted out his car and will be with us next time. Having been part of the first final , it would be a brave man to predict how this season is going to pan out, but it will be very exciting….can’t wait. So what else, a few facts Ben had fastest lap time, 53.58 ht3, and
was quickest each time, except ht2 where he punctured….too soft…Lydden
penalises softies. Time wise George got close with a 53.62 in ht2, this
heat being the only time George actually managed a start!! Sammy started
the day right on the pace posting several 55second laps but she ran
wide into paddock in ht1 got out of shape, clipped a marker and then
proceeded to do a NOSE stand, where I have to say everyone got a clear
look at her bottom!!!! The down side was that she bit her tongue and
hurt her back, needless to say she was a little more cautious after
that, but still had some blinding battles with Kelly. Kelly, having
early on given the old man some cause for concern got on with the job
and trimmed 3 seconds of her early lap times…..Kiefer clearly
showed why he was a front runner in the juniors, putting in several
54 sec. laps , prior to the gearbox busting. Tommy also managed a non
finish when he beached the Mini on the inside bank at Chessons. The
bumps at Lydden are small woops that definitely tests the suspension
fully, something that we have not been used to, so this season will
need some set up changes from track to track. There is no doubt that
this season offers a great set of tracks. It was great to be welcomed
back to Lydden and I know the racing we provided was first class. Me
I can’t wait, after the meeting (just like Sammy) my old back
told me the set up was poor, but the racing cleared my head of a load
of rubbish (mostly rattled brain…what’s left anyway) and
I felt invigorated. WWE. Pictures of Lydden

I was on the Go Motorsport
stand with my car at the 2010 Autosport International Show. The Go Motorsport
stand was specifically for under 17s, everyone on the stand was trying
to promote different types of junior classes in motorsport. My car was
displayed in senior minicross spec as at 16 young drivers can move up
into a variety of motorsport. I was interviewed Martin Brundle, which
was exciting, it was great for him to spend time and show an interest
in junior motorsport.
The Provisonal Dates have been announced for the 2010 Blyton Sprint Series, which will be held at the Blyton circuit on tarmac.

Things started at 0900 with doors opening and plenty of visitors – nearly all of them in minis, arrived. There were club stands, which we were part of and the main area, with all of the big trade stands with all of those shiny bits that you think you need to buy. Amongst all of this were plenty of “autojumble” bits for sale, crates full of carbs - Any HIF for £15 was the bargain of the day. The main event was the “50 years mini” parade lap at lunchtime with a world record attempt at getting the most minis doing a lap at once. Plenty of minis but not sure about the record?!
Throughout the day, the track saw a strwam of minis only in various states of tune, BEC, Mighty minis and bill richards blue clubman which was about the fastest all day, and of course the MINICROSS cars! Each hour of the day was split into 15min slots and anyone with a mini could pay £35 to race round the circuit for as many times as your car would take it! – with a 4.1 diff the straights were a bit long but I found that the minicross cars were plenty fast enough around the corners. About 20 cars at a time went out which included Sunday drivers – track day minis – and everything in between. The recovery trucks were busy and at least 2 minis were involved in a smash which looked like they were both written off! Neil wade kicked the day off with the first 15 min session in the new mini on avons, which he clearly enjoyed, the New mini looked well suited to the tarmac making circuit racing it an additional bonus for anyone taking the new mini route in the future.
David bell took his hire drive mini out (about 8 times!!!) with a passenger seat fitted and scared a few passengers, I think sammy and Jonathan edwardes even went out with him!! Mark Flannagan tried his luck in Sammys car and after spinning it in a corner, said “Its not as easy as it looks is it?” The Edwardes family were out in force and all having a go at driving. The car came back sounding poorly after the first session but the fault was swiftly fixed and car back out for more. 485 Ian “entertainer”
Clark was upto his old tricks and after the drivers briefing, (no overtaking
in corners - do not go on the grass – no sliding round corners
etc..) was crowd pleasing again. So the entertainer, Dave bell and Neil wade took the last slot at 4pm and managed to “accidentally” go on the grass – take out the “start overtaking” signs whilst sideways side by side in a corner!!! Great stuff and there was not much which bothered the minicrossers who put on a cracking demo for the club watched by thousands of mini fans. A mention must go out to the Redditch mini owners club aka Tom Collet, James collet (ed’s brothers!) and the boys, who arrived in minis and all went out on track together – it was messy – tom loosing a front tyre mid corner! Many thanks to the wades for putting in the effort to arrange it all, setting up the stand and talking to many interested mini fans. Event the sun came out which topped off a great day all round.
Roll on next year –
an event not to be missed. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
