A few Q's re coming to a club night

[andrewc]

Hi all

I'm working near Milton Keynes for a fortnight in June, hoping to come and race one of your Tuesdays, work schedule allowing.

I've seen hall opens at 1700, racing at 1900 I think? What time would I need to be there to book in by? I'll happily help with setup if I'm early enough but suspect with work that won't happen.

Shock tower protector; I run a B5m, I'm sure there are a few at the club, do you still need a shock tower protector with shocks mounted on rear of a plastic tower? Will a home made old wing lexan job do?

Finally, tyres, I'm guessing Yellow Minispikes/Cut Staggers?

Food...I'll not have time to eat after work, is it 'dinner' style food or crisps?!

Any weird or wonderful rules I need to know about?

Aware of booking in on here. Thanks in advance!

Firstly welcome :thumbsup:

Track is normally set up by 6pm
Booking in usually starts around 6:30pm
Remember to bring your BRCA membership card with you - you need to show it otherwise you will not be able to race
First heat is usually at 7pm
3 heats and a final - usually finish after helping to pack away about 10:30pm
As long as you have some form of shock tower protector you will be OK
Club has sturdy shock tower protectors for sale on the night
Correct - Yellow Minispikes rear /Cut Staggers front - club sells tyres
There is an onsite canteen that for £5.00 or less you will get a choice of cooked meal and a drink
What happens on the rostrum stays on the rostrum and no swearing at the marshalls :woot:

Awesome thanks for that; BRCA card lives in the pit box so just the tower protector to sort then!

Hopefully see you all in June for an evening :thumbsup:

Pretty sure this applies to all clubs.. not just stone :eh?:

You'd be surprised :lol:

Still planning on joining you for a couple of club nights early June. : )

Rear yellow mini spikes; cut any rows off?

Front cut staggers; new or used best? Anything trimmed/ground off these?

If anyone has posted a B5m setup sheet anywhere please drop me a link; I'm currently setup for carpet so hopefully not too far off.

I'll crash too much for it to matter anyway...! (Shock protector made!)

Grip is pretty high, but depending on your setup I wouldn't trim anything before you arrive.

Easier to trim a few off than glue them back on :D

Carpet setup should be fine as a start.

Just a quick 'thanks for having me!' Was made to feel very welcome from booking in through to chatting setups and comparing to my home club. Great night of racing too!

See you next week, and if you're ever working/staying in the South East be sure to come and visit us at 1066 Racing so I can return the favour!
