travel Posted January 14, 2005 Report Posted January 14, 2005 go to garys great f2 site and see some sneaky pics sent in by timmy http://homepage.ntlworld.com/ktm125/
Guest leasj1 Posted January 14, 2005 Report Posted January 14, 2005 i like the setup with the garage, looks the business for the stockcars.
bathyboy81 Posted January 14, 2005 Report Posted January 14, 2005 Looks great, another top sign job as well. Thanks for putting the link up trav, just wasted 3 hours at work looking at the westcountry f2 pics on the site. Can anyone tell me who f2 528 was I remember the car from meetings as a kid but can't get the drivers name.
Mav Posted January 14, 2005 Report Posted January 14, 2005 Trav - Question for you (and any other F1 & F2 buffs!) If I am granted 525 as my F2 number for 2005 (I have asked but someone was previously regisitered), I will have held a licence in both F1 & F2 with the same number. Anyone else done this in there racing career between F1 & F2 ????? I am struggling to think of anyone as the F2 numbers in days gone by were always over 500, and F1's under 500, hence making the early years difficult to do. Just asking as I could create a very tiny bit of history in Brisca !
Michael2 Posted January 14, 2005 Report Posted January 14, 2005 Great looking car and sign job too. What number was Ali Forsythe in the F2's? He had 251 in the F1's and I thought he had 251 when he raced in F2's. But with my lack of knowledge about the F2's I may well be wrong.
Grasser233 Posted January 14, 2005 Report Posted January 14, 2005 Dont know if it counts but Willie Peeters uses H24 in both to my knowledge Cheers Grasser#233

Badura_Racing258 Posted January 14, 2005 Report Posted January 14, 2005 I'll be the first to ask....you got yourself a new F2 Mav?
bathyboy81 Posted January 14, 2005 Report Posted January 14, 2005 528 was Les Palmer bathy Gaz 3439[/snapback] Thanks gaz - for some reason I thought he was 524. Damn, I thought it was just my short term memory that was knackered!
Pedz 212 Posted January 14, 2005 Report Posted January 14, 2005 (edited) nice looking car ...........but where has he put the exhaust looks gd for it tho Great looking car and sign job too.

Grasser233 Posted January 14, 2005 Report Posted January 14, 2005 (edited) nice looking car ...........but where has he put the exhaust  looks gd for it tho lol, I was wondering that, looks like its been routed through the bottom of the chassis when you look closely. very clever and a great looking car Cheers Grasser#233 Edited January 14, 2005 by Grasser233
BWP Posted January 14, 2005 Report Posted January 14, 2005 Trav - Question for you (and any other F1 & F2 buffs!) If I am granted 525 as my F2 number for 2005 (I have asked but someone was previously regisitered 3426[/snapback] This chap had it last year, i think you have to wait a year/season until it will be up for offer again thats if Mr 525 doesnt re-reg this year.
Mav Posted January 14, 2005 Report Posted January 14, 2005 (edited) I'll be the first to ask....you got yourself a new F2 Mav? 3440[/snapback] No - Going to hire Daz Kitson's car for four meetings in 2005. At the moment my fixtures are : April 24th - Hednesford QR May 30th - Skegness August 6th - Coventry September 18th - NIR BWP - yeah I know someone had the number but I don't know what the rulings are, regarding allocation of numbers. Will wait to see what F2 grading guy gives me, although 641 would have been my first choice, 525 my second then 841 then 832. I really don't know who has what number in 2004 and cant find a list, so just waiting for my licence to be sent then I will know ! So Ali Forsyth 251 is the only one ? Edited January 14, 2005 by Maverick
Soaps654 Posted January 14, 2005 Report Posted January 14, 2005 The exhaust comes out go's down beside the chassis, under the seat and the silencer is on the other side of the car!

Flyinsi Posted January 14, 2005 Report Posted January 14, 2005 thanx trav I amybe updating my avatar very soon
travel Posted January 14, 2005 Author Report Posted January 14, 2005 (edited) hi mav ill have to have a think about if any one has raced same number in f1 and f2 as for your number for 2005 all those that held a liecence in 2004 get to keep there number i think the only chance of trying to get a number that was used in 2004 is that they dont register by may but still think you would be lucky and i deff think 525 ttom louth will be racing in 2005 just looked in 2004 march unloaded at drivers numbers for you 1st choice 641-dennis middler 2nd choice 525-tom louth 3rd choice 841- is free from what i can see 4th choice 832-is free from what i can see oh and tell daz kitson he owes me a drink for the recomendation lol if i was right and its £250 a meet thats a cool grand ive made him by telling you mav ill get to see you at 3 of the 4 you have planned and promise to cheer for you to crash but then if royal mail make there profit target we will get a nice £800 bonus so will hopefully be hireing a v8 and you can cheer me on mav:3: Edited January 14, 2005 by travel
Mav Posted January 14, 2005 Report Posted January 14, 2005 £250 without insurance of damage - but I will be paying more than that to have all damage included cos you have seen me race online !!!! So you have made Mr.Kitson mor than a grand m8 No need to cheer for me to crash, you can cheer WHEN i've crashed !!!! Would definately try to see you race if you did hire a V8 and cheer you on Thanks for the info on the number, I will have to wait and see (I am hoping 525 wasn't Tom Louth's first choice number and that he may change, but we will have to wait and see Cheque has cleared so licence should be on its way back!)
Mart 870 Posted January 14, 2005 Report Posted January 14, 2005 Thanks for the info on the number, I will have to wait and see (I am hoping 525 wasn't Tom Louth's first choice number and that he may change, but we will have to wait and see Cheque has cleared so licence should be on its way back!) 3488[/snapback] I wouldn`t go rushing to your letter box quite just yet for your licence Mav, they dont normally get sent out until just before the start of the season, i think last year i got mine just a couple of days before the start
travel Posted January 14, 2005 Author Report Posted January 14, 2005 what about transponders mav do you just use kitsons or hire one or have to buy one????/
BWP Posted January 14, 2005 Report Posted January 14, 2005 oh and tell daz kitson he owes me a drink for the recomendation lol if i was right and its £250 a meet thats a cool grand ive made him by telling you mav 3475[/snapback] Does it not get cheaper each time you hire? That was the case of a presant f2 driver who used a DK for a few meetings in 04.
Pedz 212 Posted January 15, 2005 Report Posted January 15, 2005 i say hire a transponders each time but if daz isnt racing you may change it over to mavs number,but some tracks may not like doing this
Mav Posted January 15, 2005 Report Posted January 15, 2005 Mart I hope it does come soon as I would like to go for Practice Session at NIR, prior to the start of the season, as without it I wouldn't be insured to drive on the track ???? TRAV Daz e-mailed Graham Bunter on whether I can hire a transponder for each meeting rather than buy one, but Graham didn't reply. I am intending doing some practice at NIR, so I sent for my licence and have paid for a transponder. Daz said that its the driver who is registered to the transponder not the car. Again I have sent a letter in with my licence form asking if I can hire one rather than buy it, so again we shall have to wait and see. BWP Daz has negociated a deal with me at present. He doesn't know me or hasn't seen me, so until I have some practice, I would imagine the terms are not set in stone. We have agreed a price in principle, on a race to race basis. Daz might as a form of rebate buy my transponder off me at the season end !
BB_622 Posted January 15, 2005 Report Posted January 15, 2005 I assume your going to have a shot in Daz's car at the Northampton test day? If so, then i'll try and keep up with you - mind you, i've never drove an F2 before
Badura_Racing258 Posted January 15, 2005 Report Posted January 15, 2005 Is a grand a bargain for 4 meetings?!
Mav Posted January 15, 2005 Report Posted January 15, 2005 Not if you prang it in your first race !!!!! If you are confident that you wont damage it and incur, who knows what value, then I think £250 per race is good value for an F2 cos I paid FWJ £250 in 1990 for a go in his F1 and only had 2 laps in ht1, 16 laps in consi & 25 laps in Final - GN was cancelled ! So hopefully I will get at least 3 (4 if very lucky) races of full laps for my money in one meeting !
Badura_Racing258 Posted January 15, 2005 Report Posted January 15, 2005 Why don't you buy a car then? Instead of spalshing out a grand, on jsut a 'trip' so to speak?
BB_622 Posted January 15, 2005 Report Posted January 15, 2005 Maybe cause it'd be cheaper to hire a car.
Mav Posted January 15, 2005 Report Posted January 15, 2005 Why don't you buy a car then? Instead of spalshing out a grand, on jsut a 'trip' so to speak? 3588[/snapback] I did think about buying Mart's F2 for £750 but in my situation David, I have no where to store a car, most of all I have no mechanical knowledge or engine knowledge, no spare cash to actually run the car or maintain it if I had damage. No-one I know would have the cash for sponsorship, or the need to sponsor me. No means of transporting the car to the tracks, any financial needs for fuel have to be met etc etc. So in my situation, if I want to race, hiring is the only option
