30th September! S/C final national
 
So then.. in the event of heavy rain what would be the plan?

Hpi_guy 24-09-2012 06:55 PM

i think the plan will be to sweep the track and take it from there

Frecklychimp 24-09-2012 06:57 PM

You better start sweeping now... It's Only fit for boats!

Hpi_guy 24-09-2012 07:00 PM

or aquaplaning short courses, there boats anyway, or turn them upside down

johnni boi 24-09-2012 07:48 PM

Could we have it at broxtowe instead? :D

Hpi_guy 24-09-2012 07:55 PM

hmm, might be a bit short notice unless it was announced tonight, what did you need my number for brooky?

johnni boi 24-09-2012 08:09 PM

Hpi_guy 24-09-2012 08:11 PM

Here you go... This is no attack on A1 Racing Club, but bearing in mind this is a National series and racers invest a lot of money travelling to support these meetings and the championship.... it's over an hour each way 110 mile round trip for me and i'm fairly local!

this was situation at 6pm tonight... see what it looks like tomorrow in comparison.

pretty gutted my trip over today for some set-up time was wasted... i love racing in wet but 2 inches of standing water is a big no obviously.

If a decision is left till last minute.com then we lose another round and a dreadful end to series... there are a fair few drivers eager to give shiny new trucks some action and still final positions to battle for!

being sensible +1 on Broxtowe if it's possible with club organisers... new rostrum means a different challenge to their round of the 2012 series.

jimmy noke 25-09-2012 04:23 AM

Broxtowe
 
I agree with you mark the new rostrum and Broxtowe makes it completely different. And also it would be a sad end the the series not to race...

aaron1974 25-09-2012 06:59 AM

last round
 
On a personal note, I need to do the last round to have enough scores to count, what would happen if it's not run, does it become 3 from 5 instead of 4 from 6 ?

HarlowS 25-09-2012 08:31 AM

or move it to a different week and i may be able to come then :)

johnb 25-09-2012 09:36 AM

For me personally I'm hoping the track can be swept and the water cleared so the meeting can go ahead as have a two hour drive to get there plus a hotel room booked that if I cancel now I have to pay for. So hopefully all going ahead or moving the meeting to Broxtowe.

aaron1974 25-09-2012 09:40 AM

Don't get me wrong, I definitely want the meeting to go ahead if the track is raceable... Even better if it does get switched to broxtowe though as it'll save me an hours drive ! :D

HarlowS 25-09-2012 09:46 AM

Or just buy some bigger tyres !!:lol:
