Regional Round 2 Boughton Raceway

[Neilosarnold]

Hello all.
Have i missed something. Worrying about rain.......
If you cant cope with a bit of rain then race indoors only.

The latest weather statement:
Partly Winton showers and Clary spells, with occasional breaks of manliness. Should be racing, but with Nortonly wind, will actually feel a bit girly at times. Strong winds with gusts strong enough to remove previously well anchored moorings in the nether regions. Wrap up warm if spending time outside and most importantly grow some.

How sad !! So did I before reading your post Jay... lol
Nice to see the banter has started nice and early
If people are worried about the weather then have a nice cosy easter Monday indoors with the wife and kids, that way even though I am last I may get a few more points..

Weather forecast is different for Monday now than it was this time yesterday, I think it's playing a waiting game and see what happens on the day!!! Hopefully as it's rained a lot yesterday and this morning here it will all pass before racing starts.

[racingdwarf]

well the forcast for monday is real nasty at the min,heavy and prolonged rain! It's an astro track, but if we get standing water or if it looks like my ko is going to get a soaking.I'm off home.

wait and see monday morning I guess

I will go along with as much blaggarding as the next man.With the( don't be a woose it's only a bit of water).But with running 3 cars replacing 3 speedo's when they go bang is not good.Yes you can get the blu tak out but its not fun running in the rain.So i'm afraid if it is constant rain for monday then yes i will have to put the dress on and be a girl for the day.(or longer if i like it)

Am thinking maybe putting my brushed stuff back in for the day. bring on d rain

[jcb]

Looks like typical bank holiday weather to me, so far this weekend it hasn't done anything that has been forecast and the weather people keep changing their minds too.

With the dodgy forecast and racers running in multiple classes I can't help but feel it may be worth while trying to start closer to ten than eleven, just to give time for car cleaning, puddle sweeping and perhaps avoiding the worst of the heavy showers should they occur. Just my thoughts mind you.

The good news is that everyone who had registered and booked in, have been entered into the system and the heat listings are done: therefore the booking in process (as long as the details provided were correct) should be an absolute doddle. Should be a case of deleting the no-showers (no pun intended) and cracking on.

Choice for me tonight is set up changes, or weather proofing. I'm banking on the weather proofing and pinning my hopes that everyone else puts set up changes top of their list. <insert evil emoticon>

PS: - Jay and Daren - Your messages made my day

Do you think I can cut a buggy shape coat out of my gimp suit
real stretchy pvc

Everything is ready to go tomorrow, we are so optimistic that the rain will miss us that we are still going ahead with a bbq, so you will be able to get a proper hotdog made from fresh butchers sausages! You might need one to keep warm!

Have to say, I'm loving your optimism! Maybe we should all wear shorts and t-shirts and all do an anti-rain dance track side first thing!
All I know is, I stocked up on blue tac and gaffa tape today!

Thanks to all at Boughton for a top day out despite the damp weather.

Was good to catch up with everyone and see some new faces to.

[wrighty]

Yep cheers some good racing despite the conditions

[Dazza B]

Another wicked days racing despite the constant rain, well hosted by Barry and organised by Tom.
Epic Fail of the day goes to Lee "zipper" Flynn who remembered to bring everything except his cars... then had a 2 hour round trip to get them.
