Booked in, great system!

Though I am unsure of my pt number.

Are you joking? What if people can't make Saturday? Regardless of the track being different or not, people are going to get a setup for the astro so to run on the Saturday is a joke. Is it even allowed?

Or do you mean the Saturday a week before the meeting?

I am in Belgium for this meeting, but I agree with Stu that this is a little unfair, Don't think I have ever heard this before. Is it allowed the day before the main event?

From the brca rules.....

14.12 The track will be closed to any kind of use, whether for race events or practice, by anyone, including the club’s own members, for the whole of the seven day period immediately prior to the commencement of a National event

No mention of regional meetings regarding that rule that I can see

So thats the "is it allowed" answered....

Only in the North West would this happen though and IMO I think its a little unfair because we as a region did not go down the two day events just both classes all on the Sunday and that's it. If I was doing this meeting and could not make the Saturday practise day then I would not bother doing the Sunday.

(just my opinion maybe other people have a different one)

Hang on people, I see your point however there is nothing stopping people bunking into Southport or Bury on the Saturday before those regionals. They are both in public parks.

This is a new track to 99% of us and having some access of the track for practise was requested.

Yeah thats completely the same Aidan - :woot:

Nnrc was new to 99% of people as well but I don't remember a practice day being organised for that one. Pendle has been astro and several 1/10 meetings have been run on it already.

It's a new track Aidan and should be fair for all, not just those that can get there on Saturday.

Regardless of the rules, opening the track for practice the day before a regional isn't in the spirit of racing. It gives an unfair advantage to those that can go and whilst I'm sure it wasnt intended this way and was just intended as a bit of extra fun/practice it's not.

It would be a real shame for the hobby and racing in general if people deliberately exploited every advantage that wasn't written down as a specific rule to stop it.

So what about the people that were down practising at nnrc the week before???

Most peole who are mid field will always try and get to each track prior to the meeting to improve even if there not allowed and its closed! Its the way it goes you cant stop that i guess! Opening the day before does sound nuts but im sure it wont much difference to the normal top 10!

Dont think it makes any difference as most people will have a setup for the track before they arrive...it is astro :)

The NW strikes again,

Only in the NW would this discussion be taking place :woot:

Was just saying personally I hadn't heard of a practice meet at nnrc, and I'm not fussed either way if it's open or not. And yep pendle is astro but it's slippy astro

Dont worry my reply wasnt intended to be a reply to yours buddy.
NNRC didnt have a practice day but it doesnt stop people going down!
:thumbsup:

Only in the NW can 3 people from a region of 120 questioning somehow look like the sky is falling in.

So people practise at a track wether there allowed too or not yet is ok, yet if it's properly organised that's a bad thing.

Best thing youve ever said :wub

Haven't you got some track jumping to be doing :p

Boom Boom!

They have run one day already so the 1/10th drivers could get a feel for the track as asked by YOUR club regional reps just the date is indeed the 5th of July. They also ran a couple last year as well I have been told mixed in with the 1/8th guys. We were unable to hold a practice day at the nnrc venue due to the calender. All the 1/10th clubs in the North West region have held club meetings prior to events with the exception of nnrc and at the moment Furness. Now it is hard to please across the board when it comes to this sort of thing, but if anyone has a way where the North West Rep can win please get in touch. Maybe the only option is to only have 4 rounds next year because at this rate we are going to run out of options to race at. Feel free to form a orderly Que volunteering your services for next year at the south lakes meeting as more hands make light work after all.

Southport boys complaining again months in advance?.... Never....;-)

I'm all for pre practice.. but the day before the event?? What an absolute farse! So for that one weekend id have to buy twice as many tyres, pay for fuel there and back for two days and if I didnt do that - have the knowledge im at a disadvantage before i've even got there.

Horrendous decision in my opinion, and im very much considering not spending my money on this series.

Zip it you :thumbsup:

I was under the impression that the practice say was the week before not the day before?.... If not yeah it is a bit much

I like the idea of being able to go and practice because I could. However that's no fair on those that can't.

If I'm right the regionals are to be run to the BRCA rules so the rule Steve highlighted earlier would apply and the track should be closed.

Am pretty sure bury and southport will have people practicing the day before a regional on the regional track , iam on the fence here cos i can go and practice on the sat and its 10 mins from my house but i do understand if people cant make it they will feel like they have a disadvantage , but you cant please everybody .

This is just my thoughts on this. I dont think there should be a practise the day before.
On that it is down to the Regional Rep (Stu) to sort this one out. Good luck!

Cancelled !! but I can not help if the club is open the day before

The difference with bury and srcc is that the track isn't permenant

Just a reminder for all there track is closed on Saturday if you turn up there and nobody is there and you moan about it we will mock you and not let you forget it :p

I have been asked to let you all no, Can you please unload your cars and park out on the road to fit everyone in.

So no cars let in at all OR cars in to drop gear and then they leave?

Drop your gear off and move your car,van,bike,tricycle,hello kitty scooter out and park up out side of the gate to maximize room please
Just in case here are the details for you sat-nav users Lomeshaye Way, Nelson, BB9 7AF, Gates opening about 8 booking in from half past 8 with the hope to have a timed heat practice and after the drivers brief racing to start 9.45-10 am.
