I will certainly be there! Both classes as usual :) Will have to blow some cobwebs off first though :) Will need to get me some of these BB white compound tyres just incase it drys out as I only have green or pink at the moment. What inserts are the best for the BB white?

wearing a pink tutu and possibly a blonde wig and maybe more,

so PLEASE, donate as much as you can for the great charity. either by clicking the link below or in cash on the day to my collecting box. even penies help. £pounds are better, but all welcome.......

I will also be dyeing the tash red/white/blue on monday as well. for the last week! Get donating, You know its worth it for me looking like a total plank for the day/week, well more than normal!!!!!

Cheers guys.

Guys

Food catering has been prevented from attending today, so please bring some food or stop on the way in.

Thanks Steve

[hazeandfizz]

Good effort today team Torch, track held up well in the very difficult conditions.

I would like to to give my view that it was too wet for the finals and points should have been given on quali positions (sure some will disagree but it's just my view).

Roll on the next round,
James.

[mikeyscott]

Cheers James,

;)

[Kelk]

Guys I think I may have lost my wedding ring there today - if I came back to poplars farm would I be able to get in to check where I pitted

[hotrodchris]

sorry to hear that Chris hope it turns up

[hotrodchris]

Good and bad day

Weather was good in the morning but just as I blew my R10 speedo up in the FS2 the rain arrived so forced to run the DB1 for the first time must say what an awesome car, seen a lot of feedback about this car in the wet and contary to this with the base setup provided by Tony the car was amazing handled better than the 4wd.

[shaun m]

Awesome meeting , the only let down was the weather :yawn: , apart from that a well run meeting as always , and thanks to chris for letting me pit in his gazzebo :woot:

roll on rd3 , can someone book some sun please ??!!:p:)

[Kelk]

sorry to hear that Chris hope it turns up

All found safe and sound eventually!!!

Hope to see you guys again soon - loved the track, just showed how little experience I have outside of SHRCCC

Odd circuit design though, every corner and straight seems to have its own open air swimming pool, not seen that before ;)
