Round 5 - August 22nd - Falkirk

[Donutt]

Some info for anyone attending the next event:
The next round, Round 5, will be at Falkirk (Bowhouse Community Centre, Grangemouth).

Plan is to repeat the plans for the previous Falkirk round and run an outdoor track, on grass at the side of the community centre, with a natural stepped balcony providing the rostrum. Pitting will be in the hall. If the weather is bad, then the event will be moved into the community centre, with the race in the hall, and the pits on the stage and in the room behind the stage.

Tables, seats and power will be provided, as well as a "tuck shop" though no sandwiches or hot food on sale - bring a lunch, but please support the club's effort to supply Juice, Crisps and Sweets!

Racing will start at 10:30am (doors open from 8am) and there'll be four FTQ qualifying rounds, followed by 2 finals, possibly 3 - depends on time.

If you have a lipo sack, please bring it as the meeting may be indoors, and that is a local club requirement, so it may be enforced. John will confirm.


Race Details:
Hours: 8:00am-5:00pm
Racing to start at 10.30 hrs with 45 minutes between rounds unless weather dictates otherwise. Extra 30 mins for lunch. The following is a rough timetable for guidance only.
Round 1 - 10:30
Round 2 - 11:15
Round 3 - 12:00
Lunch - 12:45
Round 4 - 13:15
Sort for Finals 14:00
Final 1 - 14:15
Final 2 - 15:00
Final 3 - 15:45
Meeting finishes 16:30

Please assist clearing of the track as much as possible and helping to put everything away afterwards. The Falkirk club build very high quality and National spec tracks and obstacles and this involves a lot of equipment and hard work and time. If everyone helps dismantle the track and pile it neatly ready for storage, then the Falkirk guys will really appreciate it.

Nice Room
Nice Meal

What more could anyone ask for? Oh yes SUN lol

[raymondkerr]

John,

I've already pre-ordered the SUN for this round, hope it arrives in time.

[dasbo]

Thanks for the heads-up on digs Racing Snake, but I think we'll be driving down on the morning and heading home straight after. (conditions of Dans pass ;-)

I tried to order Sun, but was told that the limited stock was running very low.

[Donutt]

Is that because of the higher cost of P&P to the Highlands of Scotland?

It's got further to travel so it must be more difficult to get it all the way up there...
