If anyone's looking for a cheap hotel for RHR National and doesn't fancy the standard sh!tty Travelodges, then I've just booked the Ramada at Doncaster Airport (11 miles away) for £43/night using hotels.com

I know it's at the airport, but all the reviews say it's peaceful and quiet during the night. :) There's also a restaurant on-site too.

sounds good, i'm room hunting now.
Is there going to be the big marquee for pitting?

The restover lodge in Rotheram is £30 a night

There are very few flights at night, just the odd freight one so it should be quiet. There a few local hotels on the rhr website www.robinhoodraceway.com

Of course! Only the best for our racers!

Its mighty quiet on here

Im going to dominate next weekend :woot:

Leave the leather outfit at home Dave :woot:

You are the bollocks Dave!!!:thumbsup:

Oh YEh, you ARE THE MAN.......lover!!:lol:

As long as you don't dominate the hotel room too Bav!

Right, off to buy a lottery ticket...:woot:

I ALWAYS wear it, under my normal clothes most of the time :wub

Well at least I will finish more than one run stants :p

It wasnt me waking you up at 4am last time bungle :p

Iv'e heard there is a lot of sand on the astro, is the sand going to be cleaned off for the National???

There is AN AWFUL LOT of sand on the track and after talking to James at the track when we went up for a practice and race last wednesday, he says that it won't be there on the National weekend. I do hope so as to be honest I found it terrible to drive on with zero traction on a large percentage of the track.

Just to be safe i'd bring along your bucket, spade and windbreak.

I also hear that James is hoping to make a killing on RH Raceway rock and the donkey rides that will be going up and down the "beach" on Saturday evening ;)

Weather looks good :)

Not according to the BBC:

I never liked BBC!

Metcheck says it'll be hot and sunny, but with showers on Saturday morning and rain on Sunday night.

To be fair i dont like any of them!!

The forecast changes every day. Best off not looking until Thursday or Friday.

So who's the favourites for this weekend... Cockerill and ?

Yes, of course the piles of sand will be left there, the place won't have had any preparation and be looking a total dump for when everyone gets there, just like the last 2 nationals and the oOple race.

Anyone from the south west or south wales planning to drive up on the saturday?

Cockerill
Cragg

:thumbsup:

I ask a normal question and get blanked:(, Springer makes a joke and gets jumped on:p, so come on guys, is all the sand going to be cleared off for this weekend? I've heard different things, it will be cleared, another is it won't be cleared. So how's about a normal answer???:D



On the flip side, if the sand stays on the track I hear Punch & Judy will be making an appearance!!!:p:p:p:thumbsup:



Disclamer: The comment about Punch & Judy was a "JOKE" Please do not take seriously.

dave i belive the sand will be cleared ;)

Gutted, does this mean that the donkey rides wont be happening now ?? Or will Belsten be offering leather clad piggybacks round the field :thumbsup:

no donkey rides from belsten, he has his own wookie(amish) who will be doing rides around the place. Wookie rides, bargain price for this weekend only, £20!

Fantastic news, this weekend is shaping up to be a corker !

Oh dear!

get your wet weather tyres on the ready

Wet sand, can't wait :bored:

That's £40 to you Stant's!:lol:

Makes the castles stand up better though :lol:

oh bloody hell. I've just cleaned it!

I was at the track on monday, did loads of sweeping and hoovering.
It's looking spot on for the weekend. :thumbsup:

There using the sand they clean off to make a sandbox to play in:D

I'm heading up Friday evening...guessing that most others I know from the area are doing the same thing...long drive to do first thing Saturday morning! Would be a 4am start from Weston :woot:

I seem to rememebr that last year it was BB's in the wet. Is that still the same case this year as the astro's been changed a little (i think) also, are there any more recent pics with the track mods? WOuld be nice to see how the track looks.

About the sand, i've no doubt it wont be much of an issue the guys and girls from York etc to a LOT of time into the track. We should all be thanking them :)

Anyway, see you all friday/saturday in the dry hopefully :(
