seriously though as far as broxtowe are concerned if people want to run then we'll run.
the track doesn't flood and gives good grip when wet.
it would be down to the championship organisers to call it.
we'll be there
cheers andy

Broxtowe is an awesome track, wet or dry... its even very good in the frost!

Had meetings there where it has rained non stop start to finish and the racing went on and was good.

It certainly handles the rain better than Coventry did and you lot voted to carry on and then finish early when the rain stopped and it was drying?!!!

Rick Dean and I are travelling from the Southport area for our first SC National (woop woop!!!) and we're used to the wet stuff, albeit with buggies - bring it on.

No need to worry about the track draining, it can rain all day without any sign of standing water.

I'd do the Blue Peter thing only if I had an adult to help me.

My rule is it's only too wet to race if my truck is floating ;-)

Will be with all the 'guest' competitors with home advantage at this one... time for some proper 'rubbin is racing'

Even big Russ is coming for a play

Get the feeling we need Ref's at this one!

I race SCT at broxtowe when peed it down all day at one of the winter series rounds. I had no problems all day and my Schumacher Blues were gripping fine. Got some silvers to try for this weekend

So have I.... Just not at Broxtowe

you should be grateful... why do you think Schuey Silvers were released? Maybe we took action after skidding around at Coventry

You worn down the only set of dBoots Multibytes in existance yet Wes?
