I took part in the OEKC last week, jumping in last minute to support AndyB�s team.
It was my first endurance in a Rotax and I�m now totally hooked, what a fantastic meeting it was. Very well run, sensible rules, extremely friendly, lots of help from competing teams if you had a problem��faultless.
The series is well established down South and those of us from �up North� are missing out unless you want an early start (I set off at 0345hrs) or camp overnight. AndyB is doing the right thing as a competing driver and looking for how much interest there is further up North and then work with the series organiser to try and make it happen.
Brian � I see this as a different animal to EPEC and like you say, Andy has posted it on the 2 stroke board for a good reason � although any recognised kart can take part (with laps credited as applicable), the grid only had Rotax for the meeting last week. I personally thought this was a good thing after my experience at the British 24hr where owner drivers and corporate karts were on the track at the same time � my opinion is that it should have been run on two separate days as owner drivers were screwing up the corporate karts� race and vice versa. If your son is still in the South with his Biland, ask him to attend a meeting and feed back � I�d like to think he�d be able to change your perception.
And as for Whilton Mill � what a fantastic circuit!
