Timetable
 

The day should run as close to the series published timetable as possible. Practice may be open practice depending on how early we can get people booked in etc.
Link to the timetable here.

Booking In site
 

Brian has just informed that there is a problem with the booking in site and it might not be fixed for around 48hrs. ISP issues :cry:.

You can always book in on the day if the site is not back up and running in time. :)

cancel the meeting kash and put it on for another day.

It will rain

no it wont
if it does we can just charge into nissan and race on the production line :thumbsup:

Haha! why would you say that, the weather has been fantastic this year! :woot:. Such a pessimist!

booking in site is back on line :thumbsup:

but I believe booking is now closed - so if you haven't already booked, unless you add your name to this thread by Friday 9pm, you may be in any old heat if you turn up Sunday :thumbdown:

Here is the possible heat list for Sunday - if your name isn't there then it wasn't on the book in site tonight - get typing :woot:

can you book my son dylan calvert (brca 21254) 4wd please

Thunderstorms.....

In the past, races have been stopped during thunderstorms.... standing in a field with a metal stick in the air not being the safest position. Is this still the case when using 2.4 transmitters?

As you are a short-a&$e, with a short aerial, held low down, you'll likely be the last one to be struck ! ! ! :lol:

or to be on the safe side, don't go on the rostrum :thumbsup:

No thunderstorms according to the met office :thumbsup:

http://www.metoffice.gov.uk/weather/...t_weather.html

Sunday humid, very warm, dry and bright until the evening when showers slowly spread southwards

It's only Google that thinks there will be thunderstorms - their cache must be screwed

as long as you dont have a kite you should be fine

or something :D

Hi Bill,

Just seen the news about the change from Saturday/Sunday at South Shields to Sunday only at Nissan.

I was coming to the Saturday only and afraid I can't make the Sunday.

Real shame as both South Shields and Nissan have been my favourite venues over the years.

So, no shake down for me before the Buggy GP.

Cheers and have a great day.

Keith.

Thx Keith - that's fixed - cheers

Looks like it will be a back garden practice for you - mind that tree !

Thanks everyone for a great day. Stupidly hot but a good days racing

agreed it was a good day today :thumbsup:

Really good day :) thx to orginisers :)

Some race results, times, places etc from today's meeting - all unofficial of course.
If you see any errors please advise Kash, the NE Rep.

If anyone knows Andy Bulmer, point him to this post - he was asking about series results to date.

Results:- NEAM - 26-06-2011 - at Nissan

Thanks to everyone who raced or helped out in any way at all. It made for a pretty good days racing I reckon :thumbsup:

Big thanks to all who helped out, and a bigger thanks to Jeff .... this wouldn't have been possible without his commitment.

Really good days racing, gutted I under qualified, but never mind....

I still cant quite figure out how most people were as fast with 2WD as with their 4WD when looking at finals.....??

errrrrrrr - I might have something to do with that :bored:

As RHR ran 2 & 4 on different tracks, the settings for the First pass the loop were different, one counting first pass, one not. I didn't change this setting for NEAM as I should.

Results are still correct, just the first counted lap in 4wd is a lot longer time.

Hope that helps.

+1, on that fact

Just noticed that my round 2 points are missing from the pureinsite page but are listed on the BRCA northeast site, so maybe an idea for everybody to check there points :thumbsup::thumbsup::thumbsup:

I'd fix that if I knew who you were :cry:


*** edit: Fixed ***

Yes, big thanks to Jeff and everyone who put all the hard work in over the weekend. Top class day, just wish me car ran a bit better.
