2022 XBC Harewood & October Kames

2022 09 18 Harewood Alpine

Harewood always has some interesting cars, and it was great to see a surprisingly high number of XBC Competitors making up nearly 15% of a large entry field. Always worth the trip, Harewood runs a slick operation, with a rapid throughput of cars, and good weather to boot.

Saturday night XBC dining was split between venues, with the dozen or so at the Harewood Arms providing a very entertaining and occasionally a bit too amusing evening. One to mark in your diary for next year.

All Results and Scoring to date can be found on the 2022 Events Page.

And now attention turns to the XBC October Kames Weekend. With only a week and a half to go, if you have not already done so, it is time to get your entry in !!

Once again, we are offering a Saturday night two course meal, which you can book here.

As an added bonus, we are also running a Friday Track Day for Competitors, and this really is a good way to get maximum value out of a weekend trip. There are still some places left, and all you need to do is contact Ronnie direct, or use the Contact Form on the Web Site to secure your place.

Also, on the Friday night, there is a simple Cottage Pie evening meal available at nominal cost for Track Day entrants, and also for those arriving to camp on the Friday night. Once again, contact Ronnie direct, in order that Heather and Jan have some idea of numbers in advance. We don’t want anyone going hungry !!

We are looking forward to a good weekend, the entire support team is confirmed and in place, for this, the last event of a very good 2022 season. With so much going on, there is added pressure of time on your XBC Organisers, so please, if you have still to do so, get your entries in as soon as possible, to help minimise the last minute rush !!

Hope to see you there.

Two great days of Motorsport were enjoyed by a good turnout of Competitors, and the Saturday night barbecue was an added bonus.

The 2015 Events page has now been updated with the results and scoring from this weekend, just in time to see what performance level is required at Kames !!

Hope you have enjoyed the season so far!
The Kames events at the end of the month mark the halfway point in the championship.

There are still plenty of events to keep you occupied and maybe even mount a challenge for the class or overall championship honours.

So, two items we want to discuss with you.

Firstly, the two big “away weekends” Ty Croes & Harewood. We would like to know what you want to do. Do you all want to meet up for a meal somewhere on the Saturday night? In which case we could do with numbers so we can book! Curry, Chinese, English, don’t care, etc., please let us know. If we have a large number camping maybe you would prefer a Barbie and a beer, again please give us some ideas.

We have made enquiries about a pit garage at Ty Croes. Can you let us know if you wish to use it? We are told a full pit garage takes 4 cars but i suspect we can get more in for wet weather parking/overnight, Maybe a second garage would be required.

Finally as mentioned in a previous XBC News, we have our own XBC / Wigton MC event at Kames on Sunday October 4th. We really would like to make it a fantastic and successful event but we need help to do it!! We have most of the “officers” in place but like any other event it cannot run without an enthusiastic team of Marshalls.

If you are unable to compete in the Kames event, would you be able to Marshall? Could your pit crew/general hangers on, your wife, children(over 16) help out?
If there is anyone interested, could you contact us and “pledge” to Marshall (any training required will be given on the day).

Any help given will be gratefully received
