1843.0. "UK Auto Racing Events" by NEWOA::GOLDBERG (Ho, ho, ho, it's magic!) Fri Jul 24 1992 20:03

I'm sorry if this information is posted elsewhere in this conference, but I 
can't find it.

Later this year I'm being visited by a colleague from the US who would like to
attend a race meeting whilst he's here. He asked me to find out what is on
during September, particularly at the weekends, at ...

	Brands Hatch
	Silverstone
	Truxton Circuit
	Castle Coombe (sp?)

If anyone has this information would they please post it here or direct me to 
where I can find it.

Cheers,
Dave

    TF3s are Toyota Formula 3s. Used to describe a series for Toyota
    powered Formula 3 cars from the early 80s (84 cut off?).

1843.4UK Auto Racing ??(moved by mod. CBH)ATEIS::FRENCHWed May 05 1993 17:5520
    I am looking for information about auto (or motorcycle) racing in
    southern U.K. on Sunday, 23MAY93. Does anyone know what races, if
    any, are being run that day at:
                                      Brands Hatch
                                      Silverstone
                                      Thruxton Circuit
                                      Castle Coombe
    
    Also, any idea what is running that day, or the day before (Saturday)
    at Zandvoort in Holland?
    
    I have worked as a Rescue Marshall (we call them flaggers) at each of
    these track before, and have the option of leaving Holland for the 
    U.K. on either Saturday or Sunday. I am particualrly interested in 
    Formula Cars (I own & race a Formula Ford) and prepared sedans (I 
    race a GT3 prepared, 210HP Siricco.)

    Nothing on at Castle Coomb on the 23rd.

1843.6Not too manyIOSG::DUTTNigel DuttFri May 07 1993 16:365
    Unfortunately you've picked a bad weekend - I guess they're all saving
    it for the following weekend which includes a national holiday. The
    only car race meeting on those circuits looks like an MG owners' club
    race day at Silverstone on the Saturday. There's a national motorcycle
    championships day at Donington on the Sunday.

    I suppose this is the best place to put this request.
    
    Last weekend I went to Brands Hatch with a few friends. Anyway we saw
    some truck racing and ever since my sister has been badgering me to
    find out where and when she might see some more. So can anyone help?
    
    Where can we see some more truck racing?
    
    What dates?
    
    Any info greatly appreciated.
    
    Cheers
    
    Andy.
