[Richard Lowe]

Im even going to shake the cobwebs off my equipment and make it to this one!!
What about your car/transmitter? :p

[burgie]

the weather has been booked - we asked for rain. :woot:

i won't go into the legend that is the fornby trough micro-climate, but as long as that works as it should on both days, you won't be disappointed!

all information regarding the club, where we are and local weather etc., can be found on www.srcc.co.uk (http://www.srcc.co.uk) that site will be regularly updated during the preparation for the national.

[Wraggy]

Could this national be the turning of the tide?

Jimmy has reported that Neil is going to have a new Yokomo very soon!!

i dont think you will see it at this National , think the car will be at the Jap nationals if i remember right ?

[dan_kitty]

hi, will be my first time up there, what tyres work best at southport?

cheers

[Richard Lowe]

Just the usual, Schuey yellows in the dry and greens/bb greens in the wet.

[Body Paint]

Schu greens in the damp Rich?

[dan_kitty]

thought it would be, cheers:)

[Richard Lowe]

Schu greens in the damp Rich?
Yep they work well for me anyway, I'm not sure whats happened to the track recently but last time I went the grip levels in the dry were crazy :eh?:

[Chrislong]

Yep they work well for me anyway, I'm not sure whats happened to the track recently but last time I went the grip levels in the dry were crazy :eh?:

Still are. Its nuts.

[Chris Doughty]

any news on the weather?

[craigosh]

Yep they work well for me anyway, I'm not sure whats happened to the track recently but last time I went the grip levels in the dry were crazy :eh?:

That will be the magic grip compound we put on the track :p

Weather is looking a bit shady, Sunday is looking best but who knows?! As Chris said the Formby micro climate might come into play.

[bigred5765]

lovely and sunny at the mo,lol, metchecks (http://www.metcheck.com/V40/UK/FREE/7days.asp?zipcode=southport) always good

[PaulRotheram]

Am I right to assume the normal saturday night antics will be in full effect?

[Jonesy]

Am I right to assume the normal saturday night antics will be in full effect?


I have not had a Southport night out since 2005, since the night Butch was in the Chinese hitting the Gong, so funny for those who were there!!

I'm assuming it's still the usual places to go to Southport, Waverleys was the really Cheesy place if I remember correctly???

Saturday night should be such a good night, usual racing rules apply though, if rounds1 to 3 are awful then drinking commences!!

[dancoog]

I'm really keen to come up for the weekend and camp at the track if people are doing that. If anyone from the South East region has extra room and wants some gass money PM me.
I really want to get out for one of the nationals as I missed the Eden Park National.

[Lee Martin]

wheres local hotels?????

[Lee Martin]

also track postcode?

[DanW]

Track postcode: Rotten Row, PR8 2BZ

There is a lot of hotels in town, but most of them are looking well booked up at the moment. Both local travel inns are full too.

So far "The Vincent" and "The Prince of Wales", both on Lord Street are showing availibilty for the friday and saturday. Quite expensive and the vincent has no onsite parking.

A lot of the smaller B&B's are not registered on the internet so often worth a call to tourist information.

[Yardeeee]

Dear all, If I have spoken to you since the euros and mentioned to you that on the first night Gaz Stanton looked like "a kid playing in a chocolate cake" this is the photo to which I was referring... This is what diet coke vomit looks like... not sure that's a drink that will catch on, mind you cherry coke does ok and that stuff tastes like piss!

[Kopite]

Diet Coke is probably better than poo to be honest

[Jonesy]

Diet Coke is probably better than poo to be honest

You'd know, you eat poo!

[Gaz_Stanton]

Gaz, are you covered in mud, blood, sick or poo? i can't tell :o

It was about 10% diet coke, 90% DC Vodka. Or that's what I heard... :rolleyes:

Hi Dan

Give the usual suspects a call - I am not sure of their arrangements but you never know. Phil Le Maistre normally heads up by train but the others will drive like Brookie, Stu Band, Nathan, DC, Boults, etc.

If you need contact numbers or e-mail addresses, LMK.

Matt

[burgie]

Weather wise, Saturday is currently looking to be the best......

http://weather.uk.msn.com/local.aspx?wealocations=wc:UKXX0139&vv=600

[DanW]

This weekend is one of the "Music in the park" weekends.

The top end of Victoria park will be hosting the summer classics concerts on Friday and Saturday nights.

M-people and The Chirstians will be the acts on Stage for Friday.

Saturday sees performance from the Royal Liverpool Philharmonic Orchestra with Natasha Marsh. There should also be a fireworks display on the saturday night.

You won't see the stage from where the track is, but will certainly be in very good range for listening and seeing the fireworks display.

Tickets are £25, but look to be sold out already.

Does this mean it may be difficult to get into the park late on friday night?:confused:

[ben]

Lee i dont think the party is in where were racing. I think its just called "party in the park" :thumbsup:

[Lee]

Thanks for that ben i thought they were using the rostrum as the stage :thumbdown: :lol:

I just mean in terms of traffic in and around southport:confused:

[Chrislong]

When there has been a show on, such as car show, the organisers have sent people into the racing field which we camp in, for parking. Ive even seen them charging people to go in, which racers have been able to blag.

Im sure it'll be fine, but id be tempted to recommend arriving early enough just incase.

Chris

[Lee]

Thats my problem chris, i wont be arriving till late on, i may have to come down early sat morning :cry:

[Chrislong]

How late? Im sure the organisers of the gig will notice something is going on, im sure one of the Southport guys will confirm. id say not to worry about it, shame you could miss M-people though. :( rave!

[Kopite]

M-People? Rave?

[Lee]

I dont think i will be home till after 7 on friday and then pack the car and a 2.5 hour drive, so half 10 ish:cry:

I wanted to see the original pineapple head too

[Northy]

I hope the noise will all be stopped for 11pm, just like the gennys.....

G

[Lee]

Yeah, if not i will bring along my info pack and go and show them :lol:

[craigosh]

Dont think you'll have a problem lee. Depends on which way you come i guess. But at that time you'll be going against the traffic so it should be easy for ya.

They wont be using the field for parking, they didn't last year. Most people use the Park-and-rides. We'll all be there till late probs setting up anyway so we'll sort it

[DanW]

The top end of the Park where shows take place is not operated by the council, but by an events company. I don't know if they own it or just have a 100year lease. When events are on the interconnecting gates get closed to sperate the public park from the events section.

Parking for the concert is on the park a ride, which is just a very short walk from park to concert gates.

Only BRCA National drivers, organisers and SRCC members should be allowed to bring vehicles in the park. Other visitors and spectators will have to street park.

SRCC Club members will be on hand on friday and saturday to direct parking.

Access to the park is at the discression of the council and they normally specifiy that access to national competetitors, caravans and camping is allowed from about mid afternoon onwards (maybe Burgie or Eric has the "offical time"), so please don't turn up to early.

[Chris Doughty]

who is doing the camping thing? any tips on which parts of the field don't flood?

[Lee]

I take it you are chris :lol::thumbsup:

Just pit near lil ben, his generator gives off enough heat to keep anything within 50 ft dry :thumbsup:

[ben]

haha yeh it can get rather warm lol

[Chris Doughty]

the wife and I are looking at camping Fri and Sat nights yes.

hope the weather is good

[craigosh]

No ideal place to camp really. The whole field can turn rather boggy if there are a few heavy downpours. I'd say close as you can get to the track and avoid the depression thats in the middle, that floods first if the rain's heavy enough.

[millzy]

dont put your tent up in front of the drive in entrance from the main road, some rent a cop came in last year and woke me up at 2am with this mains beams on and then sat there with the car ticking over.

he then went driving around the park area

[Kopite]

were you touching yourself again Millzy?

[PaulRotheram]

His rear end had a full valeting by the rent-a-cop, and yes - he did enjoy it!:lol:

[DanW]

who is doing the camping thing? any tips on which parts of the field don't flood?

Hopefully the field "shouldn't" flood, its been dry for nearly a week and there is no unusually high tides predicted. If it does rain, hopefully a bit of boggyness will be as bad as it gets.

[PaulRotheram]

I'm kinda stuck for power this weekend, can I boost from someone? I can help with the fuel bill if needed.

[Northy]

Not too sure what's going to happen to my National weekend at the moment.

I had to take little Mia (and Julie) back into hospital at 1am this morning. They think they are going to be able to come out this morning, but not sure.

Not sure if I'll get there yet, let alone all 3 of us. :(

And all this on my birthday too :cry:

G

[ben]

awww G man. I hope they are both fine:cry:

[bigred5765]

bad news G, hope there better soon,

[Lee]

What works better in the damp around southport? BB`s or schuey greens :confused:

[ben]

schuey greens i think.

[Lee]

that would have been a great answer ben but then you added the "i think" at the end :thumbdown:

:lol:

[The man from delmontie]

When its damp in my country we rub our tyres with the wetness from de mother in laws lady garden

[Lee]

Your like a borat but not banned :lol: :thumbsup:

[telboy]

Not bothered, won't be going:thumbdown: (missus troubles again), so I'll say....Schuey blues they'll work great!!:p:lol:

Have fun everyone. Hope the weather is nice for you all. :)

[ben]

that would have been a great answer ben but then you added the "i think" at the end :thumbdown:

:lol:

Schuey greens are the tyre to have in the wet:thumbsup: For sure.

[Chrislong]

Schuey greens are the tyre to have in the wet:thumbsup: For sure.

Ok Ben

[njc11]

Where did Skelders end up Mr sleigh?

[YoungChazz]

Amazing job Big E, both at Southport and the entire season. We're so proud!!!

Does anybody have results?

[Darren Boyle]

Chazz, Ellis said that he "screwed up" leg one a little and could not get the lead back, but won legs 2 and 3 by a margin of around 8 seconds each!!!! Thats all I know at present mate.....

[YoungChazz]

Paul & I have been all day at a small indoor track near Dayton Ohio for a regional race. I'm actually running stock truck with my proto X - 60.

Just curious -- does anybody have the qual & finish orders?

[Belsten]

any update on how today is panning out ?

[DanW]

Neil Cragg was todays winner, running the new Yokomo car he had for the euros.

TQ in all 4 rounds and wins in legs 1 & 2 of the A-final. 3rd leg of the A-final was close fought with Lee Martin taking 1st and Cragg second. Lee Martin took second spot overall.

[DaveG28]

I thought he wasn't getting the new car back for another month or so, was it definitely the Bmag he raced?

[Phil Channon]

Who else made the A final ????

[losixxx]

I thought he wasn't getting the new car back for another month or so, was it definitely the Bmag he raced?
yep, was hand delivered to him!

[Mrs oOple]

Bradders, Truman, Ellis Stafford, Lee Martin, Darren Bloomfield, Danny McGee, Chris Doughty, Simon Moss, and of course winner Neil Cragg.

[Darren Boyle]

Vicky, thats nine.........................good job, but who is the mystery tenth person

[DanW]

I was concentrating on making food.:thumbsup:

Do you mean ORDERING food :p:p:D

[Darren Boyle]

"ordering or making"....glad you have your priorities right!!!!!! :lol:

Our travelling team of oOple race reporters must be fed and watered after a weekend away!!!!! :thumbsup:

[Mrs oOple]

Do you mean ORDERING food :p:p:D

Haha, I will have you know that I have cooked food this evening! I'm worn out now though :lol:

[jimmy]

I'm shattered! :thumbsup: Off to bed - but (likely story) the report looks ace ;)- might be up tomorrow evening but I've got one or 10 other things to do, so here's hoping.

[P_B]

The benefit of not being Jimmy, vinegar poisoning aside, is that no-one expects a race report and extensive galleries from me so I'm free to choose a handful of shots I like and leave it at that :thumbsup:

So there are some 2WD bits and bobs here (clicky) (http://s197.photobucket.com/albums/aa41/perapi/Soutport%202WD%20Nat%2008/?albumview=slideshow), with 4WD to follow in a day or two.

[andy reeves]

Thanks to everyone envolved in another well run meeting and we even had the weather :thumbsup:. Personally i struggled to get a good rhythem round the track but thought i was getting there towards the end of the day. I learnt a lot on my first trip to the track so hopefully if i come up again i will be a little bit more prepared.

[dancoog]

Unfortunately I have misplaced my tent and believe it was left packed up in its silver bag.

It is a smallish silver/gray Blacks tent if anyone has seen it floating about or has picked it up please let me know.

It would have been left right behind where Mat Benfield and Darren Bloomfield were pitting.

Cheers all,
Dan

[James]

Im pretty sure it was next to where i was packing away, we nearly took it to post 'lost tent' on here but werent all together sure it had been been forgotten as people were still packing up..!

It would have been in an obvious place by the time everyone had gone so hopefully one of the southport members will have picked it up so try them..

Yes I saw a Blacks bag there but there were loads of people around I thought that it belonged to someone still there - sorry!

I am sure that someone will have picked it up otherwise I can try and get you an e-mail for a club member.

[bigred5765]

thanks to all at southport we had a great weekend, track was ace and technical at the same time,well run and well laid out great jobs guys.

[burgie]

I was cleaning up yesterday after the national and I didn't see a bag with a tent in it.....I was one of the last people there and I am pretty sure the field was completely empty of all belongings when we left.

just one question though.....who was sick into the purple bin? :thumbdown:
God that stank by the time I got to it :bored: :cry:

[niggs98]

dont quote me but i did see it get picked up but one of the club officials so assume it will either be posted on here or brought to stotfold ;)

[bigred5765]

or on ebay next week lol

[CLARKSON]

ha ha you are so very close to the truth there Craig, those that heard me will know the rest and why :(..

[millzy]

ah man i thought it went like this

Come fly with me, lets fly lets fly away
If you can use, some exotic booze
Theres a bar in far bombay
Come fly with me, well fly well fly away

[ben]

hahaha. I think joe cockill was more concerned about the beating he was gonna get after he had just snapped his chassis clean in half:lol:
I loved the way he went sideways into the metal stake and the back half of his aero went one way as the front part went the other way :eh?::woot::thumbsup:. Good effort haha

[millzy]

is this why you where singing come fly with me?

Just been looking at the 4wd overalls. It is silly close, which should make for a great last meeting.

From my quick calculations both Ellis and Chris D can equal Pidge on points if either one of them TQ`s and wins and pidge does not improve on his current worst score.

Should be a scorcher :woot: Good luck chaps :thumbsup:

What would happen in that case, they would both have 1 TQ and win over the series, so how is the championship decided?

[footey]

probably not how it would be decided but it would be good to see the 2 of them go head to head :)

[Lee]

in a fight?

or with brca legal bb guns :woot:

[ben]

or with brca legal bb guns :woot: LMAO. What are they gonna use for BB's. Millions :lol:

it would go on best single score, which we would all have 131's

then I believe it would go on next best single score, I have 2 130's

having said that, a TQ and win is bloody hard, and at stotfold even harder!
