Entries Closing Soon for the VSCC Scottish Tour & AutoSolo

Friday 16 June 2017

We would like to remind Club Members that entries close soon for this year’s Scottish Tour and AutoSolo events, which in 2017 combine to create a fantastic Vintage weekend in the Scottish Borders, based at the Buccleuch Arms Hotel in St Boswells on 24/25 June.
The Saturday will see this year’s Tour venture to Old Stable Inn, Beattock before returning to the start/finish venue at the Buccleuch Arms, where the traditional Scottish Weekend Dinner will take place on Saturday evening. The ‘Guests of Honour’ this year will be Bill Drysdale and Alex Brown, respectively founding Chairman and Competition Secretary at Bo’ness Hill Climb Revival, who will blether on the reopening of the historic event ten years ago. The 3-course dinner costs £34.00 per person, with choices selected in advance, and payable on the night to the hotel
 
On the following day the Club’s Scottish AutoSolo event takes place in St Boswells. AutoSolos are simpler Driving Tests, devised by the MSA to exclude any use of reverse gear so cars of all sizes and lengths are eligible, be they open or saloons, and are suitable to drivers of all ages and skeletal flexibility! There are three classes available for Long Wheelbase cars (8ft and over) and Short Wheelbase cars (under 8ft), with different tests for each and both, whilst there is also a third class for those Pre-war cars without Buff Forms – and don’t forget the day will count towards this year’s inaugural Annual Aggregate Driving Test Trophy.
 
The weekend precedes the Club’s week-long Highlands Tour based from the Crieff Hydro Hotel in Perthshire so if you’re taking part, why not join us for a weekend of light Vintage motoring beforehand.

Remember you will need to know the Buff Form number of the car you wish to enter and have a current payment card registered with the Club to use the online entry facility (note Buff Forms are not required to participate).
