Boughton next weekend
 

I'm thinking of arranging camping on the Saturday night for the final round of the regional series next week. BBQ, music, beers, maybe some fun evening races....
If you are interested let me know and I will make arrangements, I don't want to organise anything if there is not enough interest.

No one? I've had a few people interested on the Facebook page, but not enough to warrant organising anything.

Shame, would've been good!!

Any news on start times for the regional yet?

What I really mean is, what ungodly hour do I need to drag myself out of bed at to get a practice in?!

Ben you will need to be there from 3am to practice lol

Only joking mate, even Hubbard has been practicing to make sure he beats you Sunday. Meeting will hopfully start around 8.30.
track open from 7....Barry???

Postcode
 

Anyone got a postcode for Boughton? Cheers.
I'm not on Facebook before you tell me its there.

Don't like social media:thumbsup:

Camping
 

Hi all,

I understand that there hasn't been much of a take up on camping BBQ music etc but would camping still be available? My journey will be almost 3 hours and with a 7am practise that just mad!

Cheers

Weather forecast is not looking good at the mo :thumbdown:

On the positive side, what a great leveler after all those cheats running on Sunday. ;)

I could set off now & the git would still beat me on Sunday:lol:

What, like you MrH:p

I failed to clear a single obstacle, I missed every single apex and ran the wrong setup. I think all would agree, that is no way to go about gaining an advantage.

Ol' Colon Parsnip on the other hand! Cheat!

Boughton
 

Anyone who went if the track layout doesn't change has cheated!:thumbdown:

It's only cheating if closed practice takes place, allowing only select people to run. If the meeting is an open meet, and everyone is welcome to enter, then it's just making good use of what's available!

Racing
 

Hmmm not sure that's in keeping with every other track this year and all other regions.

All tracks were open before but then some changes were made to the layout to enable a more level play field.

There will always be local knowledge like tire choices etc but if a track isn't changed how are people visiting going to stand a chance against people who have driven 1000s of laps round a track.

Chris, don't worry mate you already know 98% of the lay-out as apart from a little extension at the start of the lap, it's the same as last year;)

The only "cheating" that went on only really applied to last week being a Summer Series meeting, where only Ballistic Buggy tyres should've been used.

Saturday Practise
 

I can't see how Saturday practise can ever be classed as cheating. It should be allowed and if not encouraged by every club!

Running on a Saturday means that non locals have a chance to get some track knowledge plus extra track time!

On the flip side most clubs will charge for Saturday practise which will also helps the club finances

Just my 2 pennies ( no I didn't practise last week but I'm not bitter!)

Don't worry, no ones driven 1000s of laps, we only hold about 4 meetings a year, the rest of the time no one uses it, not even myself.

long day
 

looking at entries for sunday.......:woot:.....were sold out:thumbsup:
gonna be 9 heats ish......what time we lookin to start 5am:lol:

I will back up what Barry says, most of you have probably run on our track more than us. 4 Summer meetings and a handful of open evenings. I think Hubbard was just miffed as even I out qualified him :p Although im sure a top regional winner like Ben will have no problems in sweeping the rest of us peasants aside sunday!!!

Read my mind! :lol:

hang on, are we talking about the same ben hubbard I know? as the one that normally races at the EOE is a a total peasant:p. must be some new super star who shares the same name:confused:

Absolutely right. Not long ago, was just a big ball of gas. Then one day, around the 21st July, coalesced before ignition and shining blinding brilliance upon all those before it. However, with not a lot to go on, the star, (quickly exhausting its supplies), will grow ever larger before it will inevitably collapse up its own blackhole. Due to happen between round 1 and 2 on Sunday.

On the positive side, analysts reckon the aforementioned star will orbit a nearby dwarf at least 6 or 7 times before it's final demise.

Black hole or backhole :o

Verbal Diarrhoea !!
I'm gonna wipe the floor with you Hubbard !!
I've got new red Tresrey shock spring cups ! Gauranteed to reduce lap times by 10 seconds !!

Oh hold on ...... It says if you can keep your frickin car on the track !!
...... Small print ..... I never read it !

Oh well , at least my cars will look the bollocks !

:p

Pimp!

Jesus!! don't like the sound of ben orbiting my back hole:woot:

Can he not orbit something else......It will put my right off trying to kiss the apex

Lmao
