If the weather in Batley is anything like what is coming down in Burnley right now we will have 90 boats racing!! LOL:D

Should be ok tomorrow, finger crossed of course!:)

Me and Dan will be down at 7:45. We need help setting the track up, the grass needs cutting, etc. from Batley club members and anyone else who wishes to help.

Thanks

Not a problem Tom.

Have you got my cars sorted out?

G

Anyone know if Castle models is going tomorrow????

ERM! Probably a bit of a thick question but as you know I am from "over the border" !!

What format does the racing take, are we scoring points, are there any handicaps for F1, F2 drivers?

Just so I know what I am letting myself in for!:D

I'd have thought Pete would be there.

Damo, there are 5 start lines set out around the track, F1's just after the loop, F5's just before the loop. All the other F's at equal distances between those two. This gives F5's a lap on the F1's at the start.

The winner of a race gets 10 points for their team, the second 9, third 8 etc.

NO points for a non start.

Think thats it.

G

Right, quite simply the weather is currently shite.
Who's decision would it be to cancel? I don't want another Batley regional farce. :mad:

G

It doesnt look too bad here mate, ok its wet but its getting better by the looks of it and the weather is supposed to be alright tomorrow.
:rolleyes:

Cool.

G

Another question is there a local fast "ish" food place, local, or will a van be there??

cheers
simon

Not sure about a van, but there is a Maccys about 1/2 miles away in heckmondwike, just down the road basically. There are a couple of chippys close by also.
If the swimming baths are open they serve food in there and theres a lil supermarket 1/4 mile up the road also.

I have to be honest here: I like racing in the rain!!

I dont mind it with the 2wd, but I really dont like to take my 4wd (any!) out in that stuff :( makes me cry!

*whispers* ME TOO! I just don't like being in the rain myself.

At least I don't have to keep my hair covered up at all times this week!

What colour is it this week? :D

G

Weather over here has got a lot better and as it is so mild the roads are already dry.

Looking at an hour by hour forecast any rain should be gone by 10am leaving a cloudy/sunny day.

Do I feel a Michael Fish moment coming along!:p

Great days racing. Shame about the weather early on but it got better. Shame the last round had to be dropped because of time too, but many thanks to derek for helping out
I managed a 2nd, 3rd, 2nd and 1st in my runs, quite happy with that.

Enjoyed my first interclub meeting - thanks to all those who made it possible.

Had a good laugh with the other Bury lads 'n' lasses, well done on your quality scores Jimmy, you contributed greatly to our brill 2nd place overall.

Personally, I think it was a good decision to drop the 5th round - it was threatening to be a loooong day otherwise.

yeah, I was hungry for more but it was getting on, shame but had to happen.

Still, really happy with 2nd place!

When will the photos be up Jimmy?
I'm off to bed now, I'm goosed! :o :(

G

are you joking ? !!! hahaha
yea, they will be up soon mate, was gonna do a report in there, but might leave that till later

Photos are up! :)
soon as I get the results off derek I will post up a lil write up, honest.

Great days "fun" racing, with everyone taking it as it should be, thanks to all that organised!!

Another great report Jimmy (and pics), your a great credit to our region, promoting racing within, showing others what their missing out on and highlighting to other regions how it should be done!!

Jimmy,

Not funny now. :( I'll swop you the big glass trophy from the Interclub! :o

G

Great report Jimmy, how about sending it to Racer? Would be good to get some coverage of our region, nothing ever seems to go in. If you want me to add a few words or anything else to help I will.

Cheers,

G
