heres the dates for north west regionals oscar:
23th April :- Southport Round 1 14th May :- Bury Round 2 4th June :-Southport Round 3 18th June :- Bury Round 4 2nd July :- Southport Round 5 20th August :-Bury Round 6 i agree with stu via 'unknown' we do have a few good racers for 2wd, however we are hoping this year people from bury attend the north west regionals to make the racing peddegree even better. southport are making a really big effort this year to attend the bury meets, hopefully the same will be returned from bury racers and northwest can become a popular series once again, the way it should be.

I'm doing the NE series for my points scoring, but intend to race the NW series as a guest - racing as a guest at my own club, how wierd will that feel

regionals06.pdf Hopefully ther Bury drivers that want to score points in the NE regions will race a Southport as non-points scoring. The increasing popularity of the national series may bring back the chase for an F2 from region in order to get an national entry, there may be those who will want to do the NW if they think it will be an easier series to get an F2 'in-the-bag'. It'll be an interesting year. Last edited by Stu; 24-03-2006 at 10:30 PM.

Not sure to be honest Paul. I know of a few others that are planning a full NE campaign, but I think others will be put off by the early mornings and miles involved. We're setting off at 5.00am for Teesdale next Sunday - ouch!
At Bury we have enjoyed a boom through the winter months in new & returning members, they may find a proper series at the two local tracks very appealing. I'm talking about the regular club guys who would not even consider entering a national. I will certainly encourage the members to support the regionals. I chose to race NE because I like the variety of tracks and the 'big' car turnouts. I don't do nationals because my 10 year old son is not ready for them yet, and I won't go racing without him. I hope the NW series enjoys a great year

 Teesdale Can't be more than 2 hours from Bury surely? Durham is a good bit further up, but both are only a minute or two off the main A road.

"Teesdale Can't be more than 2 hours from Bury surely?"
John - Bury may be my home club, but I don't live there. I live in Flixton which about 30 mins South. I'm reckoning on about two and a half hours to Teesdale, although I may do it a bit quicker cos I'm gonna nick the wife's Galaxy for the day (she just doesn't know it yet)

I think I may collapse from lack of sleep by the Easter holidays... Chesterfield last weekend (4.30am Sat morning), Indoor finals this weekend, Teesdale next weekend, Kiddy weekend after.
Hmm Teesdale... bit flat. And the jumps they had last year were a bit harsh! We'll see... should be interesting - I haven't raced 2wd since August!

Hello! Probably dangerous for me to be let loose in a forum but here goes.
Maybe if Kash is watching this thread he could let us know what time we are likely to be starting racing on Sunday at Teesdale. If we are not starting till 9.00 - 9.30am then no-one needs to get out of bed at 5.00am! There is only one 5.00 in my life and that's when I have my tea! Nothing worse than getting up early and get to racing only to sit about for hours waiting. However, from talking to Kash and Gemma on Sunday, it may be that they will need some assistance throughout the day with running the meeting so hopefully as many people as possible will help, me being one of them!

The whole early start thing is super alien to me too. I am like a zombie if i havent had my required 10 hours!
 not been to teesdale before, if they can make some jumps (like, permenant) ones like the ones at batley on the weekend, maybe with a flatter run up and longer down slope, that would be good.. or the ones at the euros last year were good. I hear its all flat at teesdale but that they have permenant use of it ?? I saw the nice looking building they had before some sod burnt it down.. any idea if there is anything rebuilt there or is there just ruins ?

There are new Race Control buildings, toilets, rostrum built into hillside with steps etc... and they were building some 'permanent' jumps.
more info on the web site: http://www.teesdaleparkbuggyclub.co.uk As for the start - I'll let Kash confirm but the Regional rules state 7.00am Practice starts

This early start lark is getting stupid! People just seem to want to get there first!
Is it possible to get a bit more organised on time a-la Nationals to stop this madness?
