Shouting - Can we please keep the shouting on the rostrum to a minimum (we all have outbursts, when things dont quite go to plan) and not to direct it at any other drivers and apologise if you know it was your fault, please remember this is club racing NOT national racing, we all have to start somewhere. Its supposed to be fun and enjoyable for all.

Marshals - when you have finished your heat please go to a marshal point as soon as you can, you can change wheels, batteries & discuss the weather afterwards.

Please remember we only have so many spaces available, so please pre book, especially for the off road class

Please have your Brca cards with you.

I'm not done with the TL01, it keeps improving ;^) in fact, there's more blue on it today than there was on Friday. :-)
