I know people are saying the grass is like batleys, but what is batleys grass like for those who have never been there.

cheers

Grass is to the British what snow is to the Eskimo's. They have 100 kinds too...

Keep those ariels pointing downwards :D

Typical, not going to risk blowing a brand new speedo to race in the rain despite being only a mile away. Is it okay If I race on the sunday in 4wd with my 2wd if I bring it up to weight?

super__dan 14-06-2007 12:26 PM

Yes, normally.

G - Got Kirkies wedding do Friday night so going up till Sat morning.

Bizarrely Vermin is going up Friday afternoon just to put his tent up so we can pit in it sat, then he's coming up sat night to stay over and race sunday.

You still on the wagon?

I've just un-entered myself for the weekend but I'm not sure if its too late... so if anyone hears my name being screamed to book in - let them know I'm not coming please?

Thanks. :)

Northy 14-06-2007 12:56 PM

Why?

emzy 14-06-2007 01:00 PM

Were you why-ing at me or Dan?

If it was me - I have a French exam tomorrow, a Spanish exam on Monday and a French exam next Thursday... so racing's been banned for now I'm afraid. :(

Bit gutted too - can't do enough 4wd to count.

I knew I should have made that bet based on seasons overall standings, rather than just one meeting.

bigred5765 14-06-2007 01:13 PM

dan just type in the first 4 number of the postcode to get the right weather zone for the track
eg ts18

Still pants weather. Never remembered a year being this wet, its june and we've had some sun but only in one or two day spurts.

emzy 14-06-2007 01:33 PM

I haven't even been sunburnt properly yet. What's the crack?

tc2k 14-06-2007 01:40 PM

All you can hope for is that the weather predictions are wrong like usual :D

Col 14-06-2007 04:33 PM

I have never heard such moaning in my life! Put some greens on, get out there and thrash the pants off it! All respectable speedo's are weather proof these days so there is no problem. Bloody fair weather racers - at bury they race outdoors all year....

Maybe so but having to wait 6 weeks or so for a replacement under life time warranty isn't good :( if you only have 1 speedo as will be the case for more than a few racers around the country not just at this event. I'm lucky to have a few esc's but I'd still think twice these days about racing in the rain.

Maybe run the event indoors @ TRCC if it's to inclement but the roof does leak a little :)


12th's on @ Chesterfield this weekend ;)

jimmy 14-06-2007 04:45 PM

I think out of the 8 ESC's I have at home, not a single one is waterproof:(
