I was sort of hoping to find a day that both myself and Spike Edwards could do before the races at Cadwell, but alas that wasn't possible, so I have booked on to do the ACU test day on the Friday before the race weekend. This is booked through MSV,...
ACU Licence, Insurance Cover Note and Charging the Transponder
Well the postman has been at it again, delivering my ACU Licence and my cover note for the van insurance. I had started to chase up my ACU licence yesterday as I hadn't received it. I was rather surprised I could "upgrade online" when I was digging around for the...
Couple More To Do’s: The Van, Cadwell Entry, ACU Licence and Cold Weather
The expenses are starting to mount up for the van again. I have the dreaded tax and insurance to pay this month. So that is £322.33 for the years insurance, which is bit steep but there is no mileage restriction nonsense and is any driver over 25, which could be...
ACU Card has Arrived
Well the little bit of plastic that says I am free to race has arrived from the ACU. After last year's wait and worry that it wouldn't turn up, it's nice to have everything ready really good and early. Not really a great deal to add to that... Now it's...

Got back from Cadwell, see report, to find my ACU licence had been delivered. Result. Role on the first race!
Licence Form Issues
Well that's a pain. My licence form has been rejected. I apparently hadn't filled out section 4, the eye sight test, which I had. A quick check over, make sure all is signed, talk to the ACU and back it goes.
ACU Test
Got to Pembrey good and early, well in time anyhow. It's my first time at Pembrey and after checking in with the NG staff I was straight into the CTC course. This took a good 2 hours in the media centre of not the most strenuous learning I have ever had,...
On root to the ACU CTC
Well I went down to Pembrey to do the compulsory CTC course and get my ACU licence. To say I probably learnt nothing is probably a bit harsh but it was a bit easy. The hardest part was to drive all the way down and back. It didn't start off...
