Pst... want to put on a demo?

Interesting Times....

Round two of the SCCC was cancelled (well, cancelled, then postponed) as the ground was booked for the wrong date, and couldn't be moved to the right date.
I've reasons to think that this was less accidental and more machination, but I can't be ar$ed with the politics of it, so I'm finding a new site and we'll just carry on from there.

I got a message from Knockhill ("Scotlands National Motorsports Centre") - they are running the Scottish Motor Show, and could I put on something that was "noisy and entertaining and related to Off Road." I'm sure I'm up for that :)
I roped in the help of Robert Agnew (let someone else take the strain of getting cars), and we have 7 different vehicles to show: a standard 90 (with a roll cage); an ALRC 88"; a modified 110; a rear-engined Tornado; a 100" QT Wildcat; a Warrior; and a Simbuggini.)
Knockhill want to be able to get the punters involved, and possibly have reason to talk to the competitors (questions like "car 12 is ahead of you, how do you plan to catch them?" and stuff like that) so we need a competition... timed to the nearest second, and all that - which means "Comp Safari."
I have a short course designed, just half a mile long, but with all the good bits in view of the public. We have the Permit, the people to run the event.... and even competitors.  It's all coming together!
SLROC are going to put up a stand in the main concourse, and I've a DVD coming down to show off Comps & Hill Rallies - SLROC will get the passing trade, and I'll get my promotion (with both my Hill Rally and my Comp Safari hats on to boot :grin: )

The "Borders" Hill Rally is also shaping up well - the regs are nearly ready (I wanted to see how Andy had written his regs for the regroups & things) - they won't be out when I wanted them (SCCC Round 3: 18/19 May), but it won't be far off that: we have most of the senior officials in place, and 90% of a budget drafted!

I've got two possible sites for a July comp: Ron is trying to get MOD ground up near Stirling, and Martyn is going back to a farm down Morpeth direction.
