Met weather report say its going to rain a little on Thursday and a lot Friday

BBC say rain on Thursday and Friday

Both say dry weekend.

When will you guys update on the track decision

blue_pinky 20-07-2011 11:28 AM

You should all just assume it'll be outside, as that is always going to be main plan!

Weather forecasts do look fine...if not perfect currently :thumbsup:

We've only ever planned to move it indoors as an absolute last resort backup plan if it's REALLY wet. And the main point of mentioning it is that whatever the weather we will have racing so it won't be a wasted journey for anyone.

We'll check the forecast officially on Saturday afternoon before we setup the track, but see no reason currently to go inside.

millzy 20-07-2011 12:48 PM

Ok brill, Thanks for clearing that up 

I don’t know where I got the idea from but I was under the random impression that it was going to be announce mid week as to the track status, Sorry if any one has read my post and got confused .

Andy you’re indoors track rock buddy, will we see some of the magic features outside or are we keeping it old skool?, What ever the weather track, surfaces ( grass, mud ,carpet)looking forward to my first regional in a long time.

blue_pinky 20-07-2011 01:31 PM

Well last year is was literally just the natural features of the field out front. I have been thinking about adding to it, but we'll probably see how brave we're feeling when we setup!

Either way it should be good racing :thumbsup: Was ace fun last year! :D

Yeah will be a good un

DCM 20-07-2011 01:44 PM

I assume that we will be allowed to pit in the carpark, weather permitting?

Also, has anyone managed to confirm the entry fee costs please?

Jamie.T 20-07-2011 02:05 PM

Surely a decision should be made as to the running indoors or out before Sat afternoon for the simple reason of set-up. I for one have a very different set-up between indoors and out and will be really rushed to get it done Sat afternoon.

Maybe a decision should be made Friday night so it gives us a chance to make any time consuming changes?

P.s, not a rant. Lol

blue_pinky 20-07-2011 02:19 PM

With British weather who knows what will happen, Friday night is too early to say anything really...but as I said before...the decision is now what it always has been...we're running on the grass!!!

Not only that, but we're all in the same boat set up wise.

Having said that...my B44.1 setup from Oswestry, which is an old skool grass track just like ours will be, was absolutely blinding last friday night at club!

And to be honest, I've been using basically the same setup indoor and out for our club tracks all year this year since the nationals started without any troubles.

Only thing I'd change at a push would be the gearing!

Remember, our indoor tracks aren't like anyone elses....they are practically outdoor offroad tracks with a roof on anyway So inthe unlikely event that it hoons it down all day on Sunday, you have nothing to worry about! :thumbsup:

blue_pinky 20-07-2011 02:22 PM

Bored of talking about out or in or weather now...can we just look forward to top days racing on the grass now please!!! :thumbsup:

Belsten 20-07-2011 09:24 PM
