Roger Wood Memorial - 2nd June

[jimmy]

Roger Wood ran the Bury Metro club for many years and after sadly passing earlier this year the club have organised a proper tribute race with proceeds going to Rogers chosen charity.

JE Models will have some great prizes on offer and it's looking to be a good fun days racing where we can all share our favourite memories of Roger.

Thanks mate, I wasn't aware of that - highlighted the names in your reply.

[super__dan]

I hope very much to make this meeting!

[Si Coe]

Best get booking in then cos the last few spaces are filling fast!

This is shaping up to be a very promising tribute to our departed Race Controller so I just need to say a massive thanks to all who've pledged their support.
Neils already mentioned our sponsors (sorry they weren't in the original message as they signed up afterwards) but I'd also like to add we are being 'Supported' by Southport, Ribble and South Lakes clubs, all of whom have been promoting this meeting to their members, and especially Southport who have closed for the day so their members can join us.

Also TheButtyMan will be present providing top quality catering again with a donation to our charity.

See you all there!

[budfish]

I can't think of a better day for me to return to racing (kids in toe) and I reckon ill beat you straight off si

[Si Coe]

You might well do. But then as well as racing I will be running race control for a massive meeting......

[coleman758]

I would like too see this meeting as an annual meeting!

[Si Coe]

I would like too see this meeting as an annual meeting!


Well try booking in for the first one then or there won't be a next year.....

[Darren Wales]

I would like too see this meeting as an annual meeting!

Matt, it is the clubs intention that this be an annual meeting and I am personally not surprised by the support and the large numbers flocking to bury metro in honour of The Race Controller.

I am gutted not to be able to make it, but the committee have all done a great job of putting it on and my only wish is for a nice sunny day!

I will try and bring the sun home from my hols for you all :thumbsup:

Darren
Chairman BMRCC

[Si Coe]

Spaces are running out fast
At present I've got 17 2wd spaces, 6 4wd spaces and 1-5 truck spaces depending on how many in a heat. I'd prefer 8 trucks rather than 10.
I will drop a heat of 2wd if we get a few more 4wds or trucks ie jump from 17 2wd spaces to only 7 so book in fast to avoid disappointment.

Full list so far can be found at http://www.oople.com/forums/showthread.php?t=126958&page=4

PM me or post there to book in.

[Si Coe]

Only 11 2wd spaces, 3 4wd spaces and 3 truck spaces let guys.
Grab those final spaces before they go.

Right - I've had a flood of late entries - most of them from Carl Latham!
Now I can't fit any more heats in the day without racing till midnight, but we did run a few 11 car heats day without issue so I'm going to chance it. That means there is 1 space in 2wd left!

I really am pretty much full now without 20 car heats or 2 days of racing.....

[bigred5765]

Thanks for sqeezing us all in si, cant wait now hope the weathers kind to us

[PaulRotheram]

Is the large field area on the outskirts of the track still available to use? From the info pack is says the area on the left is to be used, however it could be a bit tight with such large numbers.

[birdy]

Yes and no.

Single file down the back of the track and sides.

The field to the left we can use all the way down the back of the new gymnastics.

This will be plenty of room for all drivers.

I have heard of someone pulling out of the meeting due to the carpark rule :thumbdown: we can accommodate some cars but this will be after others have pulled in and dropped there gear off.

This format works at large 8th scale RX nationals with 120 drivers at pendle so no reason it can't work at Bury.
