all done and confirmed. looking forward to a new track :)

[ConceptRacing]

I see from the Coventry forum that there is now a class for Short Course cars as well, could anyone please confirm this please.

[Big G]

something was mentioned about a SC class at Kiddy last weekend. It's likely to run if there's enough demand if I had to guess.

On the 22nd we'll be running a guest heat for the Short Course truck, I'm already booked in for it.

[HarlowS]

Correct, we will be running a 'non scoring' heat for the SC class:)

[wezzer]

hey stu :lol: how you doing dude,,,, long time no see!! i may be up for this meet , whens the latest i gotta let you know by????

[HarlowS]

Wez me old sport, this is proper racing you know, the outdoor stuff ??? No warm sports halls at Coventry !!

If you can let me or Dad know by mid next week then we should get you in. We may cap it at 10 unless a lot more end up booking in. :)

[wezzer]

yeah its the outdoor thingy that i am worried about :bored:
cap it at 10 ???

[HarlowS]

Its getting added onto the electric mam series so all depends on how many heats we get. If we got 20 SC's then no probs but 11 would mean another heat.

The link is almost right, the track is a couple of hundred yards before that on the left, look out for 2 white concrete posts marking the entrance, lets hope the weather is as good as it was last sunday, I will be bringing the shop with me just in case anyone needs anything.

Not saying the place can get cold but race control is an igloo!!

Is there anywhere to buy tyres on the day?

[HarlowS]

You will be fine with Ballistic Greens.

[ConceptRacing]

I will have a limited supply of ballistic greens with me on sunday, feel free to pre order some before the day and I will hold a set back for you.

[Pownabown]

I Will also have a couple of sets of tyres.

Ive got Ballistic Buggy green pins, spikes and studs all new in packets

Just look for a chap in a black nova

[Pownabown]

[c0sie]

Seeing as you are only about 3ft tall Keet you might wanna stay away from any deep puddles ;) :D

[Mark A]

any over night rain will be pumped off the track first thing and any standing water can be brushed off , the new drainage is work well.

[Ben Turner]

If he keeps goin the way he was on friday it wont matter if he was 7ft tall he will still end up with a dunking ;)

Thanks to everyone that helped put this meeting on. weather did its best to ruin it but think we got away with it quite well. I actually liked the alterations to the track :thumbsup:

[Adam F]

A great meeting, despite the weather!

Will definately be back for the 13th... :thumbsup:

[Kopite]

For most of the journey home, it rained heavy enough for the meeting to get cancelled I reckon. We were really fortunate to be able to have a full day's racing.

Cheers guys, for getting the track to a race-able condition :thumbsup:

[HarlowS]

Thanks to all those who showed up. We were definately lucky with the weather:).

We know there are still a few places on the track that need patching up and will try to get this done in time, but its certainly a big improvement :thumbsup:

[ConceptRacing]

Really enjoyed yesterdays meeting, very well run, and great atmosphere, great to see my Mad rat do as well as it did, show it has huge potential and can run with the best of them out there, see you at the next one for more fun and games.

[stuartw]

Thanks to all those who showed up. We were definately lucky with the weather:).

Shame about those who said they were coming, but failed to show, without bothering to cancel :thumbdown::thumbdown::thumbdown::mad:

[RogerM]

Thanks to all who contributed to the running of the meeting, already booked in for the 13th!

The improvements to the track were very noticable ... how about the striaght as the next area to work on? It did it's best to launch a few cars during the day ... but before anybody complains its the same for all and it is off road ;)

[Ben.G]

:thumbsup:Thanks to everyone who made the meeting possible:thumbsup:

Thought it was a tad on the cold side lol :)

cheers again

Ben :thumbsup:
