First Outdoor Meeting Next Week!
 
OK, well we're off outdoors next weekend, but there are a few issues. Building work is still on going and as a result access to the track is limited, especially if the ground is damp.

What was discussed today is that we all park on the main car park, and we'll set up some tents for pitting nearer the track. Do not drive up to the track itself.

Clearly charging is going to be an issue with this layout, so we are looking at hooking up one of our genny's as a charging station. However, if like me you have a portable 12V I suggest you use that instead.

Exactly what our final parking arrangements will be is still being sorted, but this looks like the best option for now. If people have any tents, genny's etc they can supply it will all help.

Sounds like a good plan.

Si,

You got PM

Si Coe 19-03-2012 09:55 PM

Just to clarify this is just until construction finishes, which officially shouldn't be that long - another month I hear.
However at present the allocated parking area we've got is still tiny (15 cars or so) which means even then its going to be tight. Darren's chasing more room, but till then my advice is we designate the allocated parking as 'Disabled/Special access) and park on the main car park whenever possible.
In theory if you really NEED to drive up to the track it is possible, but only those who really need it should do so - ie not Volvo drivers....

Why? Are they "Track laying" or 4 wheel drive?

Been over to the track this morning for a spot of testing.
Have to say how good condition the actual track is in! Apart from a bit of sweeping , the track is exactly how it was left before the winter.
Ground around the cabin area is fine ( while the weathers dry)
I think a pitting area, and charging facility is going to be a must cause theres no way of getting cars near the track

Somebody told me it had been in a cement mixer for a few hours. Hence his aversion to work.:wub

Si Coe 22-03-2012 04:24 PM

My aversion to work is cos I'm a lazy gobshite.

But I really hate my current job so need this one.....
