ROUND 4 VENUE CHANGE To COVENTRY
 

We’ve had word from Matt at Telstar that the track condition is not looking good.

The forecast is not good for the next couple of days, so the grass track will not have a chance to dry out.

The decision has been taken to move the meeting to Coventry on the Astroturf track as this is the closest venue to the Telstar track, so hopefully will mean the least inconvenience to drivers.

We hope this will be acceptable to all the drivers and see this as the most sensible option rather than postponing the meeting as there are no dates available in the calendar.

Obviously if any pre-paid drivers require a refund then please use the enquiry form on the UK Short Course web site to let us know.

Our thanks have to go out to Matt and the Telstar team for their efforts and thank you for making the hard decision in good time, thus allowing us to move the meeting.


Look forward to seeing you all Sunday.

Thanks

Chris

Good work guys,

it's fair enough given the recent conditions...

Just an idea... is the grass at Coventry venue not useable?

Result :thumbsup: 30 miles nearer for us Northern brothers.

does that mean that theres practice available on saturday?

i wud of thought so :confused::thumbsup:

forecast is wet at coventry on saturday :-(

Coventry track dries quickly so no worries about that

Saturday practice will be availalbe from 12 as will overnight camping.

Cheers

Chris

I'm confused - the fact sheet say's the dirt track will be used, rather than the Astro track as previously mentioned in this thread. Can we get confirmation please.

Wow good job I looked on here today, will there be an e-mail going out to all the competitors who have booked in about this? :)

as above it will be the ASTRO track, it takes a little while to update everything, I thought you would at least apreciate the standard facilites info quickly.

Yes of course in about half hour or so :)

I managed to break the web site last night while trying to update everything.

Unfortunately due to the short notice, hot food will not be available on Sunday. We will have hot drinks, cans of pop, crisps and chocolate available track side.

I volunteer Dave to collect pizza from papa johns for everyone

The astro was chosen for ease of set up at short notice knowing that most drivers have astro tyres,
we are having trouble getting the grass cut due to the weather.
The good old english weather has caused hassle all over the country.

OK that's good as I don't have any dirt tyres and couldn't get them now before weekend. So ignore the fact sheet then.

Can we run clockwise for a variation please?

thats the plan, also with different cut throughs.

That's all good then :thumbsup:

Not quite... I've updated it to reflect this meeting ;)

we noticed :p

A1 hobbies will be down again with the track side shop so if anyone needs anything taking down or saving for sunday give the guys a call on 01476579393 :thumbsup:

And access models, 07540419644 :thumbsup:

And can we avoid the bottom straight as it was sideways central last time.....lol

forgot about that bit! should be fine now we have tyres for wet astro!

all i remember about coventry national was everyone voting for the a final 2wd drivers to race in the puddles... then when it was their turn they voted against! :lol:

Hoping to race somewhere tomorrow as most things seem to be cancelled with the weather :(. Will Coventry have a guest heat at the Short Course Nats where 1/10 buggies can race atall? Don't mind being placed with the Short Course guys if there are only a couple of us.

Many thanks,

Alex
