No sorry Alan, handouts only, we've got the software but we're still saving for the AMB Decoder and you know how much they are

Drivers should be prepared with an approx. 6mm hole in their bodyshells!

It's obviously been very wet here today and we won't know 'til we get there tomorrow what, if any, impact this has had on the grass pitting area next to the track. Watch this space and we'll post any changes to the normal pitting arrangements if the club advise us of any. We're hoping the ground will drain as quickly as it usually does but we'll advise!

Though we had a lot of rain yesterday the groundstaff have confirmed that we can still park trackside. There is some standing water and the grass is still a little wet so please take care when parking and respect the surafce and the grounds!

Also please note that there will be a comprehensive footabll programme tomorrow so we ask that you park as close to the track as possible, single file and spread yourselves out along the embankment.

And please, please, please do not arrive TOO EARLY, respect our neighbours and the track will not be open for practice until 08:30 anyway!

We have some exciting new technology that's been installed today thanks to Matt and Tom, those of you with wireless laptops may benefit!

Many thanks, see you all there!

Oh and don't forget those trophy presentations!
And we've secured some interesting little bonuses for the U13 and U16 age groups!

Spot on day guys.
Big thanks to all the guys who run EPR ( You know who you are) you put on a realy great day for us racing boys.
As you say Dave great to see nearly 50 drivers there today lets hope we can get this many at all are regionals this year. We had 14 from FORCC there today so at last we are coming out from the saftey of our hall in Boughton ha ha.
Nice to see the youth of our sport out in force today as well, i have a very good feeling regards the end of season finals this year.
Once again thanks boys and if you were not there today get your arses along to the next one you don,t know what your missing.

Echo what they all just said.
Great day's racing - hopefully a taste of what's yet to come this season in the SE

The SE region is shaping up to be really competitive - but still very friendly and youngster / newbie orientated.

Special thanks to all in heat 1. As your 'ref' today - you made my life very easy as the standard of driving was really very good.

Looking forward to the next one already.
Well done to all.

Great day today. Great track, great weather, good turn out, friendly bunch. As Andy said, it's shaping up to be very competitive this year, especially for F2 places. Making the A final is going to be a very rewarding achievement. Also nice to see so many juniors out racing at this level, something we didn't have much of in the mid south. Looking forward to the other rounds.

Thanks for an awesome day everyone - EPR guys for letting me pit in race control (!), and especially to Brooke Snr & Jr for your guidance and expertise!

The first of many for sure - god knows I need the practice!!

Default well done all racers

Hi all,

Thanks all for a good day's racing! From a refs point of view the driving was very clean and tidy with good awareness for other drivers. Marshalling on the whole was also pretty good - although we do need to get the meeting moving a bit quicker next time, so the guys that have a long way to go don't get home too late. We'll sort this next time.

See you in a few weeks or at Steve's next week for some early practice!
Alex

Thanks to you too for all your help with the timing. I think what you said and showed us over the course of the day would have taken many meetings for us to fathom out...

Thanks to everybody who helped run the meeting plus cheers to DC for some good refereeing for the heat 2 runners.

Disappointed with 11th, just couldn't get a clean run (all my own doing) but only have to wait 2 weeks to have another crack

Can somebody book the weather again!!
