Three Sisters Sprint - April 14th
2007
This is the first race of the season. It counts for the

as a Liverpool motor club member but you need to apply via the
Longton & DMC.
Aintree Sprint - 28th April 2007
The first Aintree sprint of the season but considering its
April it might be a little wet. Anyway the usual regs apply
and you need to contact LMC for entry.
Anglesey Sprint - May
19th-20th 2007
A round of the Championship and last year was really good.
You can come along and camp out for the weekend at the race
gound for cheaper than you could at a normal camp site. Toilets,
showers, cafe and bar are all on site. You can also drive down
to the beach in about 5 mins. Hosted by L&C Car Club but
you can enter as part of the championship via LMC. Deffo a good
one!
Anglesey Sprint - June
9th-10th 2007
Ok another round of the championship but hosting by Chester
Motor club which means there should be a good turn out. Same
as the above description with cheap entry and full camping facilities.
Entry through CMC.
Curborough - 17th
June 2007
This highly regarded as the sprint of the year and you need
to book months in advance. All sorts of entries go down to this
will so really rare turnouts. Also a lot of spectators. Its
alomost like a mini festival of speed. Entry through Nottingham
Sports Car Club.
Loton Park Hill Climb - 28th-29th
July 2007
This year Loton park is being held for a weekend event so
it will be well booked. Unlike the above this event is a hill
climb and pretty good at that. Held in the gounds of a famous
castle it is generally just quite a nice place to camp out for
the weekend. Entry through Liverpool Motor Club. Photos

Past
Events:
Woodvale show 2004- July 2004
This year Woodvale
was MAC! The thing about the Woodvale show is the fact that it is based on an RAF
base. This means lots of runways and plenty of FREE unrestricted
track racing. As Tim found out the Road Traffic Act does apply
on MOD land. A warning for next year if you planning to use
the track during daylight hours!

Tattom Park Show - August 2004
This show is a classic and performance show over near Knutsford. A real nice driving area.
This year we didn't camp over since we went out to get lashed
in Wilmslow on the Saturday night and followed up an incident
with a box and peach.

National Kit Car Show - August 2004
This show is held at Donnington
and yes that means 'track racing action'. Apart from that we
has a good turn
out and got a spot next to the Ferraris.

Just a general cruise and photo shoot around Liverpool. Start point was from Uni down towards the airport, up to Sefton Park and along to the Albert Docks for a pint.

Aintree Festival Of Motorsport - November 2004
A bit cold and lacking other show cars but plenty showed up for the racing including Sterling Moss and his Maserati (mac). It must be noted that Olly got done the night before and could come because he was still drunk in morning - fag

Festival of a Thousand Classics - May 2005
A little windy at first but turned out nice. Jules got lost
on the way there while being caught in a rain storm with the
hood down (nice one). All cars were looking good and the GT6
got a good mention within the 1970's cars competition. Worth
a visit next year!

Tatton Park I - June 2005
We didn't get tickets for this event but Tim managed to wangle one from
the Marcos club last minute. Anyway, only Tim and Tori ended up going last
minute on the Saturday night and camped out for the Sunday show. Much
bigger than last year and a V.good Marcos stand which won a prize at the
end. Ian turned up at the end with one of his many females.

Aintree Sprint Series - June 2005
Just a quick trip down to Aintree to watch the Sprint/Hillclimb series.
The series is held by the 'Liverpool Motor Club' as part of a number of
different races in the UK.
Anyway it was worth the £3 entry.

TSSC Stafford Weekend - July 2005
This was the Annual Triumph event in Stafford.
Tim, Jules and Ian went along with a brief appearance from James in the
Gitfire. Weather was boiling all weekend and involved lots of random
cruises around the show-ground in Jules's Spitfire. Other significant
points were that Ian's GT6 got an award in the Concours competition and the
Marcos began to melt in the sun, literally.

Woodvale
2005 Weekend - August 2005
The second Woodvale show that we have been to. However This year
everyone made it amazingly. So in all we had the MG, Spitty, Marcos, Gt6
mkI, GT6 mkIII, MR2 and the Gitfire on the stand. Good weekend and good
turnout even though we didn't get to use the track on Saturday night -
gutted!

Tatton Park
2- August 2005
This was a 2nd show at Tatton
Park for 2005 and the
3rd we've been to. Weather was meant to be raining but turned out to be a
real nice. Olly, Ian, Tim, Tori, G and Tom attended but only the Marcos,
MR2 and GT6 Mk1 made it to the show. p.s - Tom broke down on the way back.
There's always one.

Aintree Sprint - September 2005
This event was down at the old Aintree race track in Liverpool.
It was a day of sprint racing over a number of timed runs. Unfortunately G
Unit couldn't make it in his MR2 due to mechanical difficulties but the
Marcos did make a show and got a total of 6 races in during the day.

Three Sisters Sprint - October 2005
The last thing we wanted for this was rain. And rain is
what we got all day long. Unfortunately only the Marcos could
attend this one again but probably for the best since the racing
was so slow due to the water on the track. Either way Ian, Tim
K, Tori and Beth all came along and caught some of the sideways
action! Cheers to Tim K for the photos.

Aintree Sprint - April 2006
Olly, G, Jules, Ian and Tori came along to this one with
only the Marcos racing. Sun came out for us and was one of the
first warm days of the year. Good day all round and once again,
worth the money.

Anglesey Sprint - June
2006
A round of the Championship and Tim, Tori, Olly and Rach
made it along. Racing was on both days of the weekend but the
Marcos only competed on Sunday. To summarise there was a spin
off on the first lap, an engine cut out on the third and nearly
missing the forth because Tim fell asleep in the sun. All in
all a VERY good circuit and a good weekend! Cheers to Olly for
making it!

Triumph Stafford Weekend - July 2006
Weather wasn't as good as last year but still a good bash.
Tim, Tori, Beth and Ian made it with Neil trailing along on
Saturday lunch time. All in all a good weekend to chill. Ian
of course couldn't hold back and bought some shinny stuff. Magpie!

1/2hours. Either way its was deffo a decent event and a good
setup for the racers. The Marcos took part with Ian, Beth and
Tori making it along to watch. 2nd in Class overall.
