trekkker

I will be there running 4wd as well!!!!!:thumbsup:

just asking dave is it allright if i pit with you this meeting

Yep, can do, just make sure you get there before 9am!!!!:p:thumbsup::lol:

ok dokey

Have you ever seen the number 9 on a clock charles in the morning?

Bloody Hell! Look who's talking.....PM Boy!

And I don't mean Private Message either!

Chris will, as usual, be running 2WD.

If pm dont mean private message what does it.....ooooooh.
I get it now.
Me, im up at the crack of dawn everyday, apart from the other 364 days of the year.

mate theres only 352 days in a year are you thick!!!ha ha

no there's 365 days in a year. you are both thick

Now im going to apologize to matt and steve in advance for having a non-epr post and i also need to apologize to steve again for my un provoked attack on him with a rear shock spring :blush:.
But charles if you read my post properly, you will see that it says im up at the crack of everyday, APART, from the other 364 days of the year, now charles, simple bit of maths!
364+1= 365!:p:p:p
Or do yuo want a calculator.
P.S. Martin where did you get 352 days of the year from?

Martin doesn't count the 12 days of Christmas??!!

i think confusion with 52 weeks in a year:thumbsup:


trekkker

yeah but you forget last year was a leap year. so there was 366 days last year. and you put that post on last year so you cant moan.

Please lets stop these appalling posts that are not bringing anything of any use to the EPR section...

We hope to bring an update on pitting and catering on Saturday after our work party.

Thanks

ok then sorry matt

sorry matt

i just thought id add 352 to add some fuel to the fire!cant we have an "epr stuff thread" where we can all talk sh*t?in fact im going to make one

Any update Matt/Steve?

I will aim to be at the track before 10am. OK to bring the firestorm for a practice with?

Eek.. must renew my BRCA too!

Yeah! If it was like today it's going to be another cold one so wrap up warm!

Groundstaff today agreed that we could park on the grass area adjacent to the track, it being frozen solid, but there are due to be some footie games tomorrow so they will put out markers.
PLEASE DO NOT DRIVE INSIDE THESE AND ON THE FOOTBAL PITCHES, ANY DAMAGE TO THE PLAYING SURFACES IS UNACCEPTABLE BOTH BY US AND THE LPS&SC GROUNDSTAFF!!!
The damaged ground alongside the main straight has been lightly rolled, it's not perfect but it's better than it was!

Unfortunately we failed to establish today if the Cafe would be open as it wasn't today, so looks unlikely, think it's best to assume bringing or getting your own supplies.

Though initially very frosty sun quickly burnt the surface frost off and there was a surprising amount of grip (on some parts of the track, on other a surprising lack of grip!).

Track is already laid (yet another 'out of the box' Benfield Special, never seen before!) so is available for practice as soon as everybodies up and running. As per usual will aim to get qualifying started by about 10:00AM.

See you all tomorrow!

NB It being the start of a New Year we will be offering drivers the opportunity to renew their BRCA membership through the club.

bump! ('Cos it's tomorrow!)

i have to admit that it is a very good track layout. i also ran my truck round the track and when the frost melted there was tons of grip. even with nackered tires.

why :eh?:

Timely!

Cheers for the update Steve. :)

what a great days racing brrrrrrr:thumbsup:
good track layout:thumbsup:
and i can still drive,
i did wonder after my attempts at 2wd lately lol
thanks to mcsb and the crew who ran the meeting:thumbsup:,

trekkker

Has a good day as well considering how cold it was!!!!!

Thanks to all again!!!! Tom for running the meeting, Steve for MC-ing, Matt for all you did:D

It was great to see 40 drivers!!!!!!
See you all at the next meeting.

It was Brrr-illiant today!
Great to see such a good turn out.
Track had much more grip than first imagined and it was sooo much fun to drive.

Had a blast today. Thanks to the EPR crew.
It was good to see Andy Shaw after all these years - who knows, maybe we can fill up a heat full of old ex-retired racers soon...

Great day out, good turn out even with the cold and the frost.
Looking forward to the next one

twas a good meeting I agree!

I tell you what, that E-Revo didn't half make the track feel narrow, especially with all the understeer! What an incredible amount of grip for an icy track :o

Tis true that a number of drivers got to strength test their cars!
Glad my 25yr old piece of Kydex went to a good home - I had been saving it all these years for such an occasion...

The Yokomo was highly impressive for out-of-the-box and first time out.

Who won 2wd Andy? :D

2WD was good to watch - one mistake from the leader and the second and third drivers were through...

A good entry for the day bearing in mind the cold weather.

Lets hope we can build on this in the run up to the national where we can run stretch the lap times.

Watch out for the adverse camber section getting an airing in Feb though!

:woot:

I'm still in shock

As Promised nathan

i wanted to go that way and laurence was in the way so i pushed him and then martin came out of nowhere with a camera.

anyway great days racing thanks matt 4 letting me stay in the warm.:D:D

I had forgotten to strength test the new car properly in practice so had to do it in the final......amazingly it passed everything I could throw at it..and I did throw a lot at it :lol::bored:

Got a phone call from the guiness record book when I got home as they said I had beaten the world record for most crashes ever seen in the last half of a race :woot:

Thanks to the Epr crew for a food fun meeting today, was a good laugh!!
