The Petit Race - Welsh entries
 

A few people ( Dave & Owen especially ! ) were asking for the info for the Petit event today, so go to -

http://race.petitrc.com/

and have a shufty. And try to get an entry. A few Welsh region drivers are already in - Griff, Belsten, Tom Clode, Axeman, Reg & me are already entered & paid... More the merrier from our Region though :thumbsup:

ky smith is in too i think. It has been a great meeting in the past, so it should be all good at the new venue too. Get booked in!!:thumbsup:

Looks just like cobra indoors!!..So are people staying for 2 days? Any photos of an off road track at that venue?

You REALLY need to read o0ple more carefully Dave... :lol:

The Ardent Raceway is holding the Durango Winter Series there, here's one of the threads with a couple of pictures in....

Yes ill be staying for both Petit days, i think most of us are ?

It was sarcasm old bud! Cant do hotels or bb's so looks like im out

Looks like I could come and play at this now too...their site looks like they are still taking entries so gonna get me booked in!!!

Anyone know what the race format is? 2wd sat & 4wd Sunday or both classes across both both days?

Cheers :-)

yes andy!!! 2wd saturday!!! follow the axeman sunday:p

2wd, truck and if you make the top three then you get to do the UFO race which is more of a smash and dash no rules race on Saturday. 4wd sunday and great fun. Im there.

But the big question is
are you going to run yore ZXS ????

mvh Isobarik

Woop Woop...looks like I'm in! Not had an email, but my name is now on the main drivers list on the Petit site :thumbsup:

Looks like I get to follow Axeman (THE racing god) around on the Sunday!

Bring it on :D

Where are all the welsh contingent staying that weekend then?

Iso

Doubt it as ive no front gearboxes and dont have enough time now to test the brass rear gearbox parts properly to see if they work and of course i will need to work on the setup due to the extra weight. Gutted but will get it going soon.

Not sure where I'm staying mate, not booked anywhere yet:blush:

Just remembered I need to sort a hotel out for this...anyone else booking in anywhere yet? I know Dave Belston has...but not sure where...anyone else?

hahahaha, me too...........

just booked into the hilton!!!!!

the Welsh do not play games :woot:

lol...nice one Steve...still need to do this myself...anyone else going all Paris on us? ;-)

booked it cos I need a swim, sauna and steam to loosen me up ready for a night with Reg!!!!:bored:

Lol im also booked in there for the Saturday night.... :lol:

Friday night i'm staying with a mate in Derby but on Saturday in the Hilton at the airport.

Just booked in there too...:thumbsup:

gents was wondering should we book a bench for pitting for the weekend??
Yes I said bench not wench!!!!

you paying :confused::confused::confused::confused:

yes me and reg will cover £10 you tight git... :p

thanks dude but dont worry its back to those principles and another can o worms, see I dont just do it in wales :woot:

Would be nice to pit together :)

But lets face it, i dont work on my car unless i REALLY have to, so i put batteries on charge and that it for me - i'll probably be anywhere but my pit space :lol:

Actually saying that, seeing the 6am start ill probably be sleeping in my car whenever i can... must remember an alarm clock set to my heat times... :yawn:

I think James is getting there on the friday, if we wanted to 'buy' pitting together im sure he could sort it ?

Will do mate, and i will be your pit man as well if needed.

ok james will leave it your hands.. me reg will be there early sat afternoon...:thumbsup:

Mmmm....would be better to pit together for sure...but as Dave said...can 'o' worms really...and do we really have enough of us for that?

If you read the thread...there are actually only something like 13 people who need to bring their own tables and a few more for chairs...I always have mine in my car anyway, but plan just to get there early Saturday at the mo.

But I guess whatever really...not sure I agree with the whole paying thing, but would be good to have a spot too if there's enough of us!

I've heard there are parking meters going on the rostrum aswell!!! london prices +25%

fuel £40
hotel £47.50
Evening meal £20
Food for race day £10
pitting £10

Hurling abuse at all the Welsh drivers priceless:p

food for race day
 

10 pounds on food what is that a snack before we start
i recon at least 25 pounds and im still gona eat every body elses food wup wup
u sure 6 am start what about breakfast
dont think i need the practice food more important lmao:thumbsup::thumbsup:
it's gona b a real good weekend i think it might b contageos this racing :woot:
loads more welsh people butty :woot:

One thing that affects myself, Steve, Reg & Andy and/or anyone else sleeping at the Hilton....

You cant check out until 7am at the earliest - so if your staying there for a Friday night, praccy starts at 7am Saturday morning and you aint gonna get there until 7.30am at the earliest by the time youv'e checked out of the hotel, driven to the track and got ready to run.

Sunday praccy starts at 6.30 am so same problem but worse....

Either way, looks like some of us will miss a round or two of practice if we are in the earlier practice heats :(

May be worth emailing the club thats running the event and explaining this as booking in will most probably be from 6am to 7am and like last year they dont hang around.

long as you don't charge anything to your room you can use the express booking out system at any hilton. if you do charge shit to your room they have already got your card details......

so no need to worry about that dyna....

I'm sure an early check out will be fine...it's an airport hotel, they must be used to it! I'll be asking them about it when I check in on Friday anyway just to see what we need to do.

Team dad says good luck to all:)Really gonna miss you all:wub Have a great time guys:D

Had f*cking great weekend will tell more after I've slept!!!
