Mid-season mayhem is back. Yes it’s the return of Mods & Rockers. Two teams of GPL’ers will go head to head – trading insults & fast laps.
Slight variation this year – which will see the teams each driving the same chassis. Depending upon which team you are picked for you will be driving to the 65 Cooper or BT7 (have set up for both). Historically Mod & Rockers would gather on Brighton sea front on a Bank Holiday for a good old fashioned punch up. As we GPLR’s are all rather too old & civilised for such behaviour and there is no race track at Brighton we will relocate a few miles up the road to Goodwood (Lord March’s gaff = very posh).
Team will selection will work as follows. Captain of the Rockers will be me (Billy). Opposing team captain on the last Mods v Rockers race was Vos. Rather than let him beat me again I shall nominate a Captain – it could be anyone who turns up. The opposing Mods Captain has a momentus decision – you can either pick the chassis (Cooper or Brabham) or have first choice of driver. Its then like picking footy teams in the school playground – Captains take turns to select from the assembled cast.
No registration required. In the event of more than 20 drivers we will run two grids – everybody will get to drive. I will give instructions on splitting the grids on the night.
Those wishing to participate simply turn up in the playground (UK GPL chatroom) for 9pm on Tuesday 14 September.
This is a team event so the race will be run on Pro settings with the usual points scoring (See Wacky Races post for more information).
