Dom,

Any idea on times for start / finish?

[smee]

Anyone got a spare 16" steel 5x112 I could borrow?

[Dominic]

Dom,

Any idea on times for start / finish?

Scrutineering starts at 11:00. The first car starts at 12:00. On that basis, I'd guess there would be a drivers' briefing at around 11:45.

These usually finish at around 3:30 / 4 ish, depending on how many take part.
