Outdoors ??

[Medders]

Any proposed dates for the outdoor season yet folks? I guess it normally kicks off in April?

I volunteer for the track repair working party ;)

[Mrs oOple]

Need a date for a work party to get together, in fact probably need a few dates to get the track smartened up good n proper. Any suggestions? The sooner the better, today was a really nice day for outdoor racing.

[barnyard]

dont we need a rostrum before anything else?

[super__dan]

dont we need a rostrum before anything else?

The rumour was the council were going to make us move, I'll try to contact steve and diane to find out the current situation. Barnyard is right, the top of the container was taken off as it nearly blew away in the wind. Whatever happens we need to do a lot of work this year!

[Oscar]

Sorry Dan, no prizes for making the understatement of the year:)


A large amount of work is needed, and will only happen if all club members get involved, not just the usual few. :mad:
Perhaps we should start a name and shame?:o

[Markoxx4]

If people are up for meeting this sunday and assessing what work needs doing them im up for it.;)

[Medders]

i can't do this sunday but the following two sundays should be ok.

suggest a date folks, let us know whats needed, and lets go for it :)

the rostrum sounds the biggest problem...........

[AndyM]

the folowing sunnday is the indoor finals....so many people wont be able to go :eh?:

i would help, but i dont hav tooo much time, nd i think i will leave it to the poeple hu know wot their doing;)

[loose]

Hi, just let us know when you do pick a date for a work party, myself von dutch and philly are all local. The 2 of them are pretty handy at stuff like track building and if we're free we'll help out.

;)

[BenG]

I live next to the track almost, so will nip round to lend 2 hands ;)

Cant do ALL day sunday though, need to stop at 12, and can start again at 4 ;)

[b4rs]

ok then, so theres enough time to prepare, what about 8th april, 15th april, 22nd april, and 29th if needed. now what about them dates? we cant jus all talk on the forum and agree work needs to be done, we need to DO it. if we have to move, thne we could do with some info on this. otherwise summer will be over and next thing we know we wil be indoors.

[Oscar]

As detailed on the club website, there is a committee/members meeting at the sports centre next Monday. The subject of outdoor dates will be on the adjenda, as will track maintenence. All members are welcome to attend and offer their assistance or any suggestions.

[Oscar]

The first meeting outdoors, will be this Sunday at 12:00:)

[footey]

is that 12 for booking in or to start racing:)

[mark christopher]

what tyres do i need?

[Richard Lowe]

I have the keys, so we'll probably be starting at about 2pm when I crawl out of bed :D

Be at the track 11-11:30 :)

It's a club meeting so run whatever you like, if it's dry you'll need yellow minispikes.

[mark christopher]

when i need greens then?

[jimmy]

when it's very wet. when it's damp I'd still use yellows. The greens wear quickly when its dry.

[mark christopher]

cheers gentlemen!

[super__dan]

I'm really looking forward to this. You bringing this gazebo Rich?

[b4rs]

wot about the rostrum? where we standing? and is it free coz i am skint

[Richard Lowe]

I'm really looking forward to this. You bringing this gazebo Rich?
Possibly, makes me look all pro :p

What class is everyone running?

[Adam Skelding]

I think I shall mainly be running 4wd.....

[kanaiguy]

Test! (jimmy)

[wacattack]

2WD for me, but thats cos i dont have anything else!!

Craig is also running the 2WD to try and tame the beast that is his 2WD!!

[b4rs]

do we need cash? and where are we standing? is there gonna be a rostrum

[emzy]

You've asked that 3 times!!

I don't think so, as we've not arranged any astro, I think this week should just be cutting the grass and assembling the rostrum from indoors, well and laying the track out.

wot about rostrum?

sorry, queston answered:)

(from the work party thread)

Yes you'll need money... but I'm not sure how much Batley charge... its probably on the website.

[b4rs]

well no one is answering.

[Cockerill]

yes there will be a rostrum.

yes you will have to pay to race, how much it I don't know.

wot about rostrum?

sorry, queston answered:)


Altho what happened to this question already been answered

[super__dan]

Bloody hell, you only asked a couple of hours ago, most people work during the day ;)

As stated before the rostrum is the indoor one. It will be on the opposite side to normal.

There will be normal race fee's (we have to pay the rent and cover rostrum repairs after all), I don't remember the exact amount, I think it's £5.

[b4rs]

oh thanks, sorry to be a pain

[dave p hall]

weather's looking good for sunday:p good chance i'll be coming for some practice for first 4wd regional:cool: might do york on saturday night aswell:eh?:

[mark christopher]

i allways find a club site is where to start looking

[Northy]

I won't be there, I'm off over to Southport to play with Badgers. :o Oh, no, I meant race. :eh?:

[Col]

Last years prices were £4 for members and £7 for non members if I remember correctly...

[loose]

G, is Southport a regional event? Can you run there if you've already taken part in a NE event, or do you run but your scores dont count?

Me and Von Dutch had a look at Batley last night by the way, looks good (sorry we couldn't make the work party). The double looks fun and not too tricky, but having never raced there properly the table top look like it could be a bit lively.

How may usually turn up for club nights?

[Col]

Club days my friend! Batley race mostly sunday daytime. 11ish kick off for booking in & track prep. If memory serves a good turnout is around 30 drivers, average about 20? Please feel to correct me if I'm wrong about that.

Loose - come on down this sun. It will be a great laugh with no presure. Just thrash the knackers off it! The double is superb (flat out with no probs) but the table top can be a bit tricky. Some just take it like a single jump and land on the grass, missing the "down ramp" altogether (but this is rough on the car). It's all down to choice really

[Northy]

G, is Southport a regional event? Can you run there if you've already taken part in a NE event, or do you run but your scores dont count?

Yes, yes they put you in a 'non-regional' final at the end of qualifying :cool:

[super__dan]
