Haha, Joffrey did well today - bit of an animalistic start to the A final but he manned thru to take a poor 5th I believe

Good day, nice weather and the track was good. Maaan that banking onto the grass area was tricky for me, rolled there looooads good stuff tho.

Great day. If the numbers keep up I'll be back for sure.
Thanks Jimmy for flipping my car over soooo many times, stuffing bits back inside etc. And making my Smart car/pit area look very slightly less ridiculous
I think I got the hang of that double eventually..........

No as we dont want to spend time/money and effort on a track which will soon have a deadline. There is no plans yet for a new track as the Gym is still waiting for funding so I dont think it will be this year. You never know though.
Practice wise- you get a ticket when you book in and then when you practice you give it to the person controlling practice. This is what the BRCA have chosen to do this year in our region.

Track looks the same as for last years regionals - tho I have to say I've never run that final 1/4 before, round the banking and onto the grass / onto the start area. lots of off-camber madness.

Practice is for amateurs - straight into rd1, that's all we need.

Shit, I can't come, forgot, I'll be in Sherwood forest swinging about in the trees.

What am I doing!

If we can make it late morning I can be there for a couple of hours before setting off?
