Are you threatening to attend a club meet?? Or you going to jump the fence??

The tracks loads better in the dry plus I prefer a bit more of a run on the fingers so then it's a double but as the track was it was hard to launch over it

I enjoyed it though nice one for helping set up and pack away many don't

Just qualifying no finals it was getting really wet out there shame you seen your arse mark!!
It was good to have a decent level of racers at the track to see what lines they took but watching Colin"the thug"may didn't make it easier as his lines where where ever his tyres touched was good enough for him

Was a good day overall. I chickened out after my 2wd stopped working but still good up to then. Luckily I've managed to save the motor and it's running again now. Hope everyone else with car woes is as lucky as me

Loved the new track - hated the rain !

Also, very expensive day, 1 lrp speedo died

I knew I was pushing my luck towards the end of the day, the standing water was more appropriate for an rc boat, not a car !

Quote of the day (during drivers briefing) .... "you will have no problem with water here, the track drains well. We do not get puddles".

Lolz

No track would have coped with today's rain by the way!

Thanks to Bury for battling through the conditions.

Many thanks to the Bury gang. The track was really super and I don't know of many, if any, other tracks that would have stood up to so much rain for so long.

I’d love to have a crack at it in the dry.

I was really shocked by the puddles today. We have only had one or two meetings it hasn't rained since we got the new track (I reckon the new orange hose is cursed - it doesn't rain till it comes out!) but thats the first time its had significant standing water.
Glad I wasn't racing really, though I'm still in trouble with the wife just for coming by.....
