CCC Action Day (2) - Castle Combe Circuit
14th June 2003

Castle Combe 2Six days after the Bristol show saw us at Castle Combe again for the second of the CCC Action Days. Once again we had our allocation of 12 free entrance tickets and 6 free track passes. Nick Cook was brave enough to take to the track again after his yellow card and "Black Award" nomination from last time but this time without incident (BORING). I joined Fearless Frank who decided that this was the ideal way to "Run In" his new Crossflow engine h there are other ways Frank.

Castle Combe 2Chris Varey had the most eventful day when his Seight (featured on the front cover of WW Jan/Feb) decided to break a weld, which meant he travelled home on a hand throttle made of cable ties. Who said the entrepreneurial spirit was dead! 

 

Back on the track the inability of the general public to drive on a circuit came to the fore when an accident stopped proceedings. We looked up to see a large amount of dust in the air at Quarry corner with ambulances and recovery vehicles leaving the pits, obviously a big one.   I never found out what exactly happened but the track was closed for some whilst everything was sorted out.  For once the weather was superb and the afternoon, when you have to pay to get on the track, saw us sitting around having a pint and enjoying the club camaraderie.
