SORC Round 4

[Dave77]

Really sorry to hear of Chriss loss, my thoughts are with him at this time.

Thanks for the clarity that its running John, but i hardly think any of the querying was classed as bitching, more of concern over what was happening. I was unaware Chris was the organiser or involved, i only thought he was middle man to try and get things moving......

Anyway, let race!

Any cheers for tyre info.

[dasbo]

So sorry to hear about Chris. My thoughts are with him and his family at this terrible time.

No bitchiness intended John. Just trying to find out what we need to bring to a new venue.

[StevieD]

Lets hope it can be like the charity event good days racing with no agro.the way it should be.(LET IT BE SUNNY)

hi there

spoke to john allen today on the phone and caught up with the lack of information that has been post thanks to john for his posts we will be meeting on sunday at the track to do alterations for running the 1/10ths and also discuss final details and i will let you all know on sunday night what the final details are along

the track after being run all weekend in may by the largescale national hasnt got much sand in it and right now is also very grippy and runs very well and if it turns out like sunday gone it will be a very good and exciting meet

we are not a specific scale club although we started out as a largescale club but we prefere to be classed as a multiscale club as we can run all scales

also please bear with us as the person that should have been posting information has let us down any as said i will put up the final details on sunday evening once we have discussed it and yes people can camp there is toilets and there will be a tuckshop too with juice and sweets

once again sorry for the lateness of my post

Thats a pretty big track ...impressive!

[jamiew]

Anyone camping the sat night???

[whizzy]

track running length for the 1/5ths and 1/8ths is 375 metres with a 4 metre width at any given point as said we have shortened as we have taken out the back jump and tabletop section but also added in a couple of chicane sections

[msxmre]

Is anyone going down to the track on the Saturday, what's everyone doing for power? Can we chip in money for petrol to run on someone's generator? Are most people heading down early Sunday morning? Let me know please.

[orinoco]

Heading down early Sunday morning, need to see if i can get genny fixed or charge up an old 12v battery.

[Racing Snake]

Have to give my apologise but I'm not feeling great & I'm not going to be attending this round. I was looking forward to this round with a great deal of anticipation at seeing the SORC at West Coast Raceway.

I hope the meeting goes well without any problems

Again Sorry

Plenty of other tyres as well, plus foam inserts.

will the pit area be accessed by our big cars, ie like stonehaven? i take it, it will be flash backs from the 90,s with big batteries for charging unless you have a geni.

[whizzy]

pit area is use your big car as stonehaven

[sidawson]

How was today then guys?

[whizzy]

hi a big thank you to all the racers that turned up today what a great day of racing at the track and hope you enjoyed running at our track

would like to thank big chris for running a fantastic and good meet

a few minor hiccups but we got there in the end and by talking to a few of you that with a few tweaks and things this could be a very good venue for the 1/10ths but on the whole some good feedback but most importantly a great day of racing and hopefully you will want to come back and race as a sorc venue next year

once again thank you for letting westcoast raceway be a venue this year and hope everyone got home safely

Had a great time at round 4 yesterday. Track was good(a little hard on the cars) but I thoroughly enjoyed myself. Once I got the car dialled set up wise the track and car came together. I'd gladly go back for another round but Martin you should take your shop trackside next time.
Cheers again guys
