JORCR - South Shields Regional 29th and 30th May 2010

[turbobrick]

JORCR Regional, Bents Park, South Shields

Camping is available from Friday 28th of May after 4pm. Camping/Caravans is free. We have use of the toilet facilities on site. The gates have to be locked on a night, time to be advised, if you think you might arrive late please make sure you have my number so the gates can be opened for you. We are awaiting confirmation (hopefully tomorrow) that people can stay the Sunday night also which some might find useful being a bank holiday weekend

BBQ are allowed aslong as they are lifted off the floor so as not to burn the grass, hopefully there’ll be a burger van there aswell but there are a LOT of fast food and restaurant options in the South Shields area.

Any questions feel free to ask and I’ll do my best to answer them or find someone who can.

With regards to the non regional heat as was said at Batley with this being a 2 day event if your in the regional class for that day wether 2wd or 4wd you won’t be able to compete in the non regional class.

Thanks

Peter

Peter.

Burger van is booked.
And I have booked the Park until the Monday, so Sunday night camping is ok.

[dmsykes]

Sorry I won't be able to make this one. Will be in France.

If it's anything like last year it's worth going.

Many thanks for the Stannington regional, Paul and myself really enjoyed it.

Hope the weather holds up and it will be great, see you all at Teesside.

Thats embarrasing tbh

We seriously need to do something to get more people racing.
How many people were racing last year at Bents Park?

Chris there was 55 people there last year.

Yes we need to do somthing but what??? If people are not prepared to travel up here wot can we do?? Unless there scared to race against us???

[Gemma]

I think alot of people have moved to other Regions ie the North West & Mid East, as they have a reasonable turn out.

We've always seen a reduce number of enterants the further North we move, not sure why. It seems like anything North of Batley, and people get nose bleeds lol.

Anyway me and Kash are booked in for Saturday (4wd) and looking forward to it, unfortunatly we are unable to make the Sunday as we are going to Cyprus, which takes preference lol

See you all Saturday x x

[Mike Parker]

Unfortunately I won't be around for this weekend due to holidays but will be about for the others

It's a strange one to the low numbers, possibly down to location of the tracks in the neighbouring regions..... I know its been talked about at length in the other thread but there could be a few positive things to come from running 2wd & 4wd regional within a day.... Food for thought

Track building at Bents Park from 1pm

[chris68nufc]

Will there be anywhere to pit tomorrow? Whos got space in their Gazebo??

[baD]

Unofficial ones that is. I haven't heard of any stewards enquiry but till an official confirms, these results are unofficial.

4wd
2wd

A great weekends racing don't you think? My personal thanks to everyone who did their bit, the end result of the effort was brilliant.

[nobby]

just thought i would say a big thanks to everyone who helped organise the weekend.

and all the people that stayed back to clear away

to the few that didn't stay back hope your pleased with yourselves
just think when the people that put these meetings on for you to just swan up to race then p@#s off when the work has to be done get fed up of providing everything for you, and quit what will you do?

oh i forgot if you have done a national you don't have to do anything
wrong get off your arse's and do something

anyway well done to aslam for the 2wd win and ben for the 4wd win

[clarey]

Thats a bit out of order some of us have to drive over 2 hours to get home, and also organise regionals at other venues where people just do the same and leave as soon as they are finished
