Too true dave..its the way i feel just struggle on and be thankful of what we have if you dont want to travel to race nobody is forcing anybody too, if we didnt have jarrow and south sheilds this year were would we have had to replace those venues.

Teesside is closer than nissan factory and there not there anymore.
bury to teesside 110.79 miles:p:p:p

i think you owe us an apolige,you plank:thumbdown:can't be doing with reading such tripe:thumbdown:

Carl, no offense but your not really in a place to comment on the distance between NE regional's, as you live in the NW and choose to run whichever. If you chose to run in a different region to where you live you have to expect a lot of traveling.

im not fussed either way stay as is or split OR EVEN JUST A NORTH SERIES 7 regionals 6 to count but just 1 thought the racers up far north east say the clubs are small and would struggle well im thinking that jarrow and southsheilds was like 5 mins from each other wouldnt it be best to join the 2 clubs and have 1 massive club which will help in the efforts for a permanent track which u are trying to get

its not tripe am selling up and buyin a greyhound . the local sunderland track is 6.4 miles away from my house with a round trip of 12.8 miles . and a chance of winnin money . ive allways wanted to race greyhounds so am maken it happen

That will be greyhound :p

aye a know ..

Hi all,

WoW, I had no idea that people felt so strongly about the distance they have/choose to travel... Its good to hear the different opinions, the majority seem to be happy to pay any amount to the government to persue there weekend interests....

So would everyone be happy to travel to my new imageinery club based at the southeren most end of the region, lets say for arguments sake Doncaster....

How do the guys at shouth shilds/JArrow feel about having to travel to the most southeren end of the region, twice a year for the 2wd and 4wd regionals??

keep on posting, and sharing your opinions

JIm:p

shields jarrow lads / lasses would still go to doncaster no probs ... its a good night out . we would make the most of it we would not be sittin tottin how many mile round trip we have made

tom i can post on anything i want its my opinion:p
but what i was saying is, added clubs to the northwest would help the region out, the distance is OK for me, but theres loads that cant afford or wont pay to travel the distances mentioned.just the same as some don't/wont to pay to travel to southport/bury,
still think lee's idea was the best

then 26 or so miles from my house to bury:p

good for you:pi thought you came across a bit insulting that's all:oanyhow,let's not fall out over such trivia:lol:

:DAs a person who lives even more NORTH than north and travels to where he likes to race not taking into account the cost of fuel (which yes is lot of money these days) and I am not rich.
:thumbdown:I think this is a very damaging thread anybody thinking of starting in the SPORT reading this thread would wonder why bother after reading it.
:DSo please good people stop bitching and lets just have positive posts.

lol chill maan

do you race in the ne/nw regional's then wally:eh?:

Doncaster is not a bad run jim, when i raced on road i did the donvalley british championships for a while, it was 109 mile from mine to DV, my record at 5am on a sunday morning was 66 mins:thumbsup:

Its just A1/M1, dead easy and straight:D

:DNE but many years ago, sometime in the last 20 years or so Simon and I did an off road series at Hull.

Jim

Why are you just popping in and out of the thread when you feel like it? I have the feeling you are taking the p**s again, and stirring things up.

By the way DJDuncaz is a filthy Makem and deserves to be locked in a room with the gimp from Pulp Fiction. HE is a disgrace and never a Geordie and should never be allowed to race again. He has once called me names and i will never forgive him. Also, the dog you should be betting on is the 1 that has a crap before the race. Top tip!

You all should be happy you have a choice on where to race. The South east has only has 1 permanent!!! That's EPR. We make due with temp tracks, even using the side of a hill for a rostrum.

This thread was started to gain insight, try and remain positive:thumbsup:
