Facilities available:

Bar, toilets, hot and cold food, vending machines.

For directions see our website at www.nercr.net., or just look out for the Nissan Factory on the A19 North of Sunderland.

What's the track like? I don't know yet, we are building it on Saturday, but expect it to be the same as most years, being flat grass, a long straight and wooden ramps, and hopefully a table top.

Tent can be pitched and cars parked on the grass next to the track.

Hope to see you all there on the 22nd April.

If you can book in before hand at the usual place, http://brca-northeast.net it'll help us out, thanks.

You booked some good weather Chris?

I'll see what I can do.

IT WILL NOT BE WET:rolleyes:

Appears there may be rain on the saturday :mad:
Its been sunny up here for about 10days on the trot now, not a drop of rain. Im still optimistic though :cool:

shhhhhhhh, don't speak too soon.

Ok G, if I get stuck I'll come and see you.
How come the yellows don't work in the wet but the greens do?

greens are harder compund

A brand new set of yellows can sometimes work in the wet, but they need the square edges. However the yellow compound seems to generate little grip when its wet.

Tel, just come over :)

ive got some yellow full spikes ( slightly worn ) will these be ok ? :confused:
