Re: Round 6 Alfa Racer Championship Castle Coombe
Yea all meet at quarry, will be there jsut after 9 so wave me over when you see my 33 on balck wheels.wave like you have never waved before.the parking stewards get a bit funny when it starts to get busy but im sure if you say we are having a club meet and you point to where the other alfas are they might let you park near them.

Re: Round 6 Alfa Racer Championship Castle Coombe
This'll be my first trip to Castle Combe and indeed, only 2nd Alfa meet (first being the AOSW trip to Haynes the day before!)
So, will not know members or their cars.
Am I right in thinking everybody is going to try to park together at the Quarry car park? We are staying overnite Sunday at Chippenham travelodge and hence will be coming westbound along M4 Monday morning. Is the quarry entrance easy to find from this direction?
How busy does it get? (aiming to get there 9 am)

Andy.

Re: Round 6 Alfa Racer Championship Castle Coombe
It prob wont be too busy at 9, alot of will be arrive later more when the racing starts than the qualifying.

Yes people will be parking at Quarry car park and its easier to find, its not a problem.

See you Monday!

Have a safe journey!

Pretty shocking! Heavy rain forecast for pretty much the whole day. I'm still going to be there anyway though - GTA is washed and waxed ready to get filthy on the drive down!

Cheers
Aubrey

Re: Round 6 Alfa Racer Championship Castle Coombe
I think we'll be passing - Castle Coombe isn't the best of places in the wind and wet! Forecast looks bad all day for the South West.

Cheers,

Nigel
