Kev, would be good to see you up at Eastrax.
I have only ever run greens and used 2wd fronts at the time not 4wd ones. Would think pinks will be ok in the wet, in the dry they could prove a bit of a handful as the astro is longer pile than Stotfold and Kidderminster. It's more similar to Coventry or Bury Metro and has quite a lot of sand in it too.
At the first round nearly everyone ran 19 turn and all the heats and finals were all mixed up. I'm happy running either modified or 19 turn, kinda go with the flow of who runs what on the day.
Swiss, I would get there for around half eight to nine, the first heat is away at 10:30, last time we ran heats on the hour to give time for charging cells and eating food
There is undercover pitting and covered rostrum, with some pitting table's too, though it may be worth bringing your own just incase lots of people turn up. Not quite sure where you'd put a generator if thats your choice of power, a extension lead may be a good idea
Hope that helps.
Oh and weather forecast if pretty good too
