Off Road so far and new carpet this winter!

[The Doctor]

Hi guys,

So far I think we have had great 1st half of the summer outdoor series at our new venue. We've had around 30 drivers at each club meeting and I can't remember it raining at all, which is unheard of! Hopefully you agree that the new venue has been a success. The beer's good too!

To let you know, when we return indoors (1st Friday in September) we plan to purchase a new carpet to improve the level of grip, particularly for the tourers & Minis. As a result, however, we will need to enfore the "no sharp protrusions" rule to protect the carpet from damage. This means that off road shock mounting bolts, protruding body posts that have not been smoothed/rounded and loose chassis screws (Shambles members please take note!) will need to be covered. You will not be allowed to race if you have not done this.

I hope you understand why we need to enforce this rule (the carpet will cost us in excess of £900) and will modify your cars as necessary.

NB -Anthony, you'll probably be OK because your chassis screws have all fallen out before you start racing anyway.
