And funny

A

will be good and mud is not a problem !!! just comes off with water !! :thumbsup:

Surely you off road racers aren't scared of a bit of mud?
Not sure how this works? Will there be booking in on the day for a guest heat, for us Ledbury members, or have we all missed the boat - should we have booked in through central booking? I hope you guys all enjoy the track, we've done the best we can with limited resources and and a few eger volunteers. The track is still in it's infancy and you should see many changes over the next few months. Big thanks has to go to Ray and Doug, hope you all enjoy it.

P.S. You wouldn't believe how many wheel barrow loads went into those dirt sections!

i would of thought you would need to go through central booking to be honest , they may put on a guest heat though for no point scorers ??
and mud doesnt bother me :thumbsup: im Old Skool ...

why book in as a quest if your all brca members why not just enter as normal

Gordy. Drop Phil Sleigh an e-mail to see about a guest heat.
More racers the better for Ledbury's income.
Just got to remember a bucket, water and wellies.

Phil, are you running a 2wd heat on sunday?

Not planned on a 2WD heat, as no one had showed any interest.

As for booking on the day, that will be purely down to the choice of Doug/Carl. The problem occurs when loads want to book-in and demand to be seeded in a high heat, as everything is pre-seeded.

If the people that booking on the day don't mind going in the lowest heat, or a separate heat if there's enough then it shouldn't be a problem.

As Chris(losixx) says if you're running 4WD then just send me an e-mail now and I'll see if I can re-seed the heats before I leave for London.


remember you need BRCA membership to race and marshall, for insurance reasons.

I won't be running myself Sunday - as I have a temporarily knackered eye. Most of our guys run 2wheel drives so was just wondering if their is a non point scoring fun heat to chuck them in? But if thats down to race control, I'll ask them.
Cheers Gordy

Hi Gordy,

If they're all 2WD then I'd suggest they go in a heat of their own as a non points scoring class. It should be easy enough for Doug or Carl to arrange on Sunday morning.

HTH

Updated heat list, see above

Guys,

Can;t remember how practice works at regionals, is it heat order or just queue up as and when??

If its the latter I can grab another half hour in bed!! :thumbsup:

Practice is in heat order ..

As Wraggy says, Practice is in heat order....:thumbsup:

Cheers guys, no lie in for me then, time to start making flasks of coffee!

Do those coffees have acetone in 'em dave:lol:.
Does anybody have acetone for sale with them tomoz please?
Also, has anybody got a spare crown and pinion for the b44 i can buy off them in the morning?

Hi mate,

Sorry, the mad scientist used most of his but is loking for some for me now, how much do you need??

No worries Dave, i'll find some!!:thumbsup:

Griff, I have about a litre, so I'll bring that for you, is that enough? You can use it all, we don't need it, apparently it was going to get poured away!!

By the way, the multimap link has a weather thing on it, and shows what looks suspiciously like lightning tomorrow!

Won't you need it? if not I'll buy it off you:thumbsup:

Griff. I have a spare diff if you won't to borrow it.
Can you book in on the day.

Cheers mate, i put my spare diff in but really need a pinion gear for it:cry:.

ANYBODY got one for the morning??

Got both gears for you andy.

You the man Mark!!

Hi all! Anyone been to the track today? Just curious what condition it is in with the recent weather?
If there was any chance of the meeting being cancelled due to the weather, lightning etc is there any way some sort of post on oople could be made in the in the morning? It is a 165 mile :thumbdown: round trip and dont really want to get there just to turn around and come home

thanks, john

I am 4 miles away...

Had a few showers today, but not long at all. Sunny and dry now, here but will keep people posted.

i will plan on coming down what ever as i wont be in front of my pc anymore today (off to work):thumbdown:.
griff or strobe let me know if it gets called off please;)
see you all tomorrow !!!!

no worries!

Been working on the track all day today, we've had a couple of showers but on the whole it's been bright and sunny. I can now confirm although it's very late - we have a burger van for tomorrow. According to BBC weather, we are going to have much the same weather as we had today.
The track is dry - just don't wear your best white trainers, because our dirt for some unknown reason has a nasty habbit of staining them red.
See all you guys tomorrow,
Gordy

Having examined the attached picture, I can see "features" in that track.
Where is the flat-as-a-millpond grass touring car track?:woot:

On a more serious note, how soggy is the pitting area?
The Transit has a nasty habit of sinking up to it's diff at the mere mention of wet grass!:thumbdown:

Am I missing something - I take it someone has been taking the piss out of our track?

It looks like we've got some spare spaces in the guest heat, so if anyone wants to run a 2wd in that heat, can you email Doug ASAP [email protected]

Possibly the joke...

Grass tracks in the UK can sometimes mean a flat piece of grass with no features, rather like a touring car track, seeing pics of a feature-laden grass track is a welcome change.

The question about the condition of the pitting area was serious though. The Transit is notorious for sinking up to it's axles at the first sign of a puddle. Dropping the tyre pressures from 65psi to 25psi usually helps, but the drive home is always "interesting".

Don't suppose anyone is passing north bristol tomorrow that i could grab a lift with???
Just had a plug lead manage to wrap itself around the steering uj and yank the dist cap off. :mad: Fixed the other damage but it snapped the rotor arm so it ain't gonna be getting me there tomorrow morning. :thumbdown:

that track looks ace.

how do some tracks get chosen for nats when proper off road tracks like this are on offer

Sorry yes I did miss it! - I've heard that comment from the Americans before - it just didn't register!
Transit shouldn't be a problem - believe me I know how bad they are - I drive one on and off grass sites every day. You get our one near wet leaves and it gets stuck! Under the turf, our track has about 20 foot of sand before you hit bedrock - even when it does rain, within half an hour it's all soaked away. - You'll be fine.
Gordy

hope it goes well and you dont get wet! i cant make it now & am gutted as it looks good. :cry:

Lashing it down with rain in Hereford at the moment.:thumbdown::thumbdown:
