28th is our Xmas meeting.
We hope to run heats for vintage and have a caravan race
We should have the room upstairs for pitting allowing maybe a touch larger track.
Pre Booking is not required, just turn up on the day

Which venue is this meeting taking place at? Never raced at your club it seems you have a couple of venues? Would be interested in attending if there is enough practice to make it worth the trip

This is been held at whitecliffe mount sports centre, the batley buggy club indoor venue, the address is whitecliffe mount sports centre Turnsteads Avenue, Cleckheaton, West Yorkshire BD19 3AQ.... The track will be laid out the same day as the meeting so the only real practice will proberly be about 10mins before starting( depending on people helping to get the track laid) mixed surface of gym floor and carpet, nice balcony view of the track, always worth a trip out, track changes each week in all locations batley have

Hi, will the rostrum be next to the track on the same level, and is there space to pit on the same level as the track, as my husband uses a wheelchair and we need to know he has easy access to the rostrum before we travel over to the meeting.

Thanks

Yellow Pins or Spikes. Pins are generally faster overall, but edgy on the gym floor to carpet transition so some prefer spikes. Spikes are generally easier to drive.

Hi Anna, they usually pit upstairs in a separate room and use the balcony on the same level as a rostrum.

I'm sure someone from the club will confirm?

I guess as long as Mark can get upstairs he just needs his car putting on the track at the start and finish of heats?

Yes...the first floor balcony is used as the rostrum and, for this event, the pit area is on the same floor and pretty well adjacent so no problem there. The only problem could be seeing the track.! The balcony wall is solid and I guess, a metre high, so, for someone sitting down, they might not be able to see over the wall... A possible alternative would be to pit on the ground floor, there is a separate area adjacent to the track, and drive from trackside in the wheelchair.

Default Number 5 RC

Afternoon guys

Just a quick one to say I'll be in attendance with the shop, will have some new products on the table and a few special offers!

I won't bring in the full stock of tyres, but if any of you guys want me to bring any DBoots for the January Chadderton round so you can get them glued up ready for the morning, drop me a line before Saturday the 27th
