Is there a reduced race fee for just racing one day? I can only make the Sunday - would that be possible?

Cheers Rob

Can you PM me the details and I'll send you my entry?

This event should be posted on the 10th off-road and truck sections as well as here I think.

May well generate some interest from those who might not visit the A1 section normally...

I'm well looking forward to this. Love the A1 venue and itching to see the new track layout. How's about a teaser shot of the track to whet our appetites??

Since there's no practice at SHRCC for the first round of the SC Nats, you could sell it to those boys as a shakedown for their trucks too

Are you asking or telling?

First I'd seen of it

[spyro]

The event is postponed until further notice

[tynhead]

I've had email confirmation to this effect.

Very disappointed, but I understand they've been up against the elements trying to prepare the new track.

Better to let us know now rather than try to hold the event half-heartedly.

Please don't wait until summer though, A1. As soon as you're happy with the track, let us loose!

Hi guys,

We are very sorry to say that the above meeting will be postponed until further notice.

We have been busy trying to re-build the track in time for this event, making improvements to the original track and extending it. But due to the extreme weather we have been suffering in this area over the last couple of months, it has really halted our progress and made our job unmanageable.

The committee has looked at the work left that is needed to be done and has come to the decision that the only way we could get the track to a useable state would be if we had perfect weather conditions, which with the predicted weather forecast for the next week or so, is unlikely to happen.

What we wanted to give you was a great track that was both challenging and not random to drive. The work that has been done so far has really improved the facility and when the works have been finished it will be an excellent track to race on.

We also want to make the venue future proofed so that future track work will be minimal.

Again we apologise that the meeting won’t take place. We were all really looking forward to it and looking forward to you racing at it.

We are hoping to reschedule the meeting for some time during the summer, calendar permitting and we will let you know first. Also if you have pre-booked for this meeting we will give you a discount at the rescheduled event.
Please accept our apologies and we hope to see you in the future at A1 Racing Club.
