Paul,
Sure we can find space for him, we have spare tables and chairs if you don't want to lug too much stuff for him.

Mike,
There's no way we can predict tyre selection this far away
It's often difficult enough on the day never mind several days in advance!
Just another of EPR's little challenges that you find out about at the weekend
Track will probably be run anti-clockwise (we ran clockwise last time) but will not be ultimately decide until the work party on Saturday.

Awesome. Will check with a mate whether he needs anything for his X6. Also what are the cost of the tyre management things?

HIJACKED!!!
Back to thread.....

Returned from the track, it's all set and ready to go, thanks for the help from those that came to the track today, much appreciated! Track looked good and was, for once, largely dry in ALL parts

Both the track and the surrounding playing fields are still damp in parts, so we have been asked by our landlords groundstaff to please respect the ground and drive considerately when moving onto the areas adjacent to the track.

Also it is CRITICAL tomorrow, Sunday 07 March, that we only have a SINGLE line of parked cars along side the track as football pitches adjacent to our pitting area will be in use during the morning, double parked cars will be asked to move! There's plenty of space further down the field if needs be!

Also due to some changes within the management and organisation of the sites Management team please be patient if arrangements and facilities are somewhat different to what we have been used to recently! We are working with our landlords to get back to where we need to be!

Thanks and see many of you tomorrow.
EPR Committee.

Well what a day!!!! My Schumacher Cat Sx was sweeeeeeeeeeeet!!! A massive thanks to Trishbits for all your help!!! The car was awesome

A massive thanks to all involved in the running of todays meeting, thanks to all the drivers that turned up, 84 entries I was told

And of course thanks for all your generosity buying raffle tickets!!!! We raised some £275-ish, I didn't count it, but it's a welcome boost with many expenses coming up for the EPR club before the National!!!

I must second that Dc, a great run meeting, big thanks to all. Dry, sunshine and nearly warm what more could we ask for.

Mikey Scott had an away day ticket, hope you enjoyed the racing.

Big thanks also to the Guru the one and only Trish, he is the man of the moment, never seen Dc’s car go as well, couldn’t believe it was Dc driving must have been touched by the Guru, an F2 awaits you Dc.

Thanks mate, shame I choked in the final!!!! I was hoping to race with the boys at the front, but I didn't get it done!!!!

It was good to see Mikey today, I know he learned ALOT and felt part of the team!!!!

TQ'ed the meeting!!!! And a bit of bad luck prevented the win!!! The car looked amazing today guys

Thanks to all the Epr crew, Tom, Steve, Matt etc, was a great days racing!

2wd didn't go plan in the finals but the truck final was the stuff of legends! Closest race iv been in for a while, 2nd place to Matt Benfield, I was well happy!

Unlucky Steve on breaking at the end. So who has won the truck championship??

I have taken a few pics today that I'll post up soon.

Good result for Ellis, must have been the tranny muff!!

Lee's Tamiya looked ace, well done today!

Yup just want to second this and say thanks to the Schumacher team and Williams family. Cat SX felt much better

See you hopefully on the 11th if it's confirmed!

Cougar looked awesome and glad I have one on order. However I feel a Cat SX focus returning after the help today.

Just got home after a 3.5 hour drive, was a good meeting as usual, But a shame so much time was wasted waiting for people and marshalls. The computer should have been set to auto and left to run with the amount of entries today, and peneltys for late/non marshalling as a few of these early on would stop the problem, as we could probably have been finished by 1600 rather than 1715.

Moan over.

Thanks to all the crew - Steve, Tom etc. certainly was a good day.

Felt like a 10 degree difference between the pitting area and the rostrum though. How about the raffle money going towards integrated rostrum heaters

Lastly, many thanks to Mike Williams for keeping me going on the spares front.
