Sunday 28th

[Oscar]

The building has specific disabled access at ground floor. I'm fairly certain that there is a lift to the upper floor too.
Once at that level, I don't think Mark will find driving any more difficult than anywhere else. (the balcony has a steel rail above the brick layer)

Hoping to come along.

Would vintage class be open to any drivetrain?

Cheers,

Dan

Yes.....we have run 2 and 4 wd before.....

[Danf1275]

Excellent. Now then, Procat or Cougar? Decisions, decisions.

at the moment judging from what's outside our window, its looking like a sledge for me, never mind the bmax

[Oscar]

Just been out in my "sledge" (245 tyres and rear wheel drive ) it's pretty rough up here but you can get by if the roads aren't full of halfwits

I think it will all be cleared up by Sunday though

yep - the sledge works well 4foot rear wheel drive, also known as , two young kids pushing hell for leather

[Chris Elworthy]

Hi lads,


What time will we be able to access the hall? And what time is the first round due to start?

Thanks,


Chris

[Oscar]

Doors open 10am.
First round will depend on how quickly we get set up. The more helpers we get with the track, the sooner we start

[AnnaLrg]

What is the race fee on the the day please.

[Oscar]

I don't actually remember what we charged last year...
Don't quote me, but I'd estimate maybe £8 with a discount for juniors????

[Haldenby81]

Great days racing and great atmosphere to boot! Roll on rest of the events

[Danf1275]

Good days racing indeed. May have to review tyre choice before next outing - that floor is very slippery.

I couldn't make it, but heard it was slippery. did anyone brush the floor before the track went down? it really helps. centre staff have a big floor brush which takes 5 min to push round while people are bringing in the track.

I really enjoyed it too.

[whites75]

other than being rear ended twice in the final I really enjoyed the day for my first time there, I stuck with spikes which were ok as i think others went with pins, to be honest for me it wouldn't have mattered what I had on round the bottom turns near race control as it was very slick for sure - look forward to the next meeting

[Danf1275]

I'm pretty confident that full spikes on the Procat wasn't the optimun choice - I could hear them roaring round final corner from the opposite end of the hall.

I ran pins all round, and other than the 2 big mess ups in an early heat (which you marshalled from), I really enjoyed the long bend at end of straight - the rm config for my Bmax was lovely to drive. If only I could have been quicker through all other parts of track I'd have been fine

Really enjoyed the day - even with my slow optima in vintage class, looking forward to the next

[J77MYF]

I tried mini spikes and mini pins but I found pins to be far better. I think everyone was struggling for grip yesterday.
