The factsheet for ARC states there's no camping available.

So I'm wondering what the long distance entrants are planning to do, as hotel prices are pretty steep in the area

I've a 250 mile, 4 hour drive from N. Wales so travelling down and back on the Sunday isn't an option. Plus I could do with a practice session to set the truck back to astro again (even though practice is only 3 hours long and costs £2.50...)

Best option may be if there's a decent campsite nearby that the overnight racers could all use. Can any locals recommend anything??

Cheers

Martyn

Cheers Chris.

I had spotted that but I was a bit concerned that the website prices were for 2009!

Might give them a ring and see what's what

I am going to miss this one as I have the same problem and we are away nearly every weekend.

Divorce is on the cards if I did it!

Shame as it will be the first one missed.

Am sorry for no camping but is only because with have planning regs to meet in our first year. This condition will be corrected for 2014.

Chris, Mr Spyro is spot on with the camp site thou. Is literally 2 mile away.

Big thank you to the guys at ARC Raceway we had a great weekend, the track was something very different to most of the flat tracks we normally race on, the level changes and banked corners were great. Just a shame the numbers were down ah ho, qualified 5th and 3rd in the A can't be bad
Can't wait to go back later in the year.

I think you need a Google+ account to view them.

... so here's a select few I have downloaded and re-uploaded to the UKSC website:

There will be some more to come later from mine and also Rolf's camera.

Did anybody take any video?
