Thanks All !!

Cheers, Griff.

The turn-out wasn't too great, but then I can't blame that on anything but weather. Admit I'd struggle to get up and drive 2-3 hours to potentially have a wet muddy meeting. But credit where it's due, I would like to extend thanks from the club to all that attended for keeping faith that it wouldn't get called off, and hopefully we'll be doing it all again next year.

We did what we could to ensure the meeting went ahead bearing in mind that the Silverstone Regional was delayed to next week. Including sucking 700 litres of water out of the track this morning. After some driving advice from some half decent drivers i won the C from 6th, so was quite pleased with that.

Anyways results will be posted ASAP, but top 3 was Greg Spicer, Simon Chambers and Keith Robertson.

Yeah, I've never understood why they charge people for getting into Wales!

yeah , cheers Mike, another well run meeting. (and the bugers were ace!)

The track was a similar state to last year, but with out the additional misery of it actually raining (ok, lashing down is closer!) while on the rostrum or marchalling!!

see you at the "new" track next year. Snow anyone?!?

[GRIFF55]

i think you mean burgers!!
Niel, the track was like the pics, but when i got there they were sweeping, hoovering and anything else to get rid of water. Cracking job! Keith worked so hard that he ripped his trousers

I'll second that! Great job to get the track raceable and a good days racing. I would've preferred to have been able to join in the finals but was a good day's setup work.

Great days racing, well done to all that out in the time an effort to get the track up and running, I know you were all really busy Saturday only to have to do it all again Sunday morning before we could race.

Enjoyed the "Fun" finals, it was a good idea !

Great work, see you next year !
