Ive been sent several sets of regulations for the above event which runs from 20th April to 22nd April 2006. I assume its because I am named as the competition secretary in the blue book!!! Anyway if anyone is interested I can send them out a set. I'm already intending to go with a group of the frontrunners from the Northern speed championship so I have a fair idea of price etc.
Its basically 3 speed events, the first one being a nightime hillclimb in Douglas through the streets which are being closed for a few hours, on Friday 21st there ia a pursuit sprint at Jurby airfield and on the Saturday they are running the Lhergy Frissell hillclimb at Ramsey which is used by the TT and the British Hillclimb championship. Its one of the longest hillclimbs in Britain and recently featured on Top Gear. All in all its going to be an awesome event that is going to be televised.
Ive had costings for what we are doing and it works out at around £600 and that includes car and trailer on the ferry, 3 nights accomodation in a 4* hotel, a welcome buffet and entry to all 3 events. Its possible to go cheaper than this if people are willing to sacrifice a bit of comfort.
