Entry details sent. Looking forward to it now.

[c0sie]

Booked in. Perfect practise for UKMicroX :)

[brian s]

pete, where does the vintage fit into the timetable for good friday

[peetbee]

Brian, as long as there are a minimum of 5 entries then vintage can run as their own class and get the same amount of run time as all the other cars! :woot:

[evilbert]

entry sent :)

[Caine]

All day Vintage :thumbsup: probably run 2wd as well ( however i am unsure if this is a good idea!)
Entry sent

[peetbee]

Just to clarify that the vintage champs will not be part of this day, but if people want to run vintage then as long as there are minimum of 5 entries then there can be a vintage heat! (I got dates muddled!)

[blue_pinky]

Quick question for anyone thinking of coming along on Good Friday.

How many of you will only be able to make it for the evening, like they do on a regular friday?

We're just trying figure out a backup plan to make sure you get fair track time, and a fair price!

Cheers :thumbsup:

[peetbee]

Keep those entries coming :thumbsup:

[Belsten]

Ah man I really wanted a whole day down there, damn the wags :cry:

[peetbee]

Does that mean you are evening only then Dave?

[Belsten]

Nope it means I wont be there at all, away for the weekend

[peetbee]

:thumbdown:
only kidding have a good time!

Well, that's one less 22 entered, so where's all the others?!!

[Caine]

It looks like i'm only going to be able to do the evening unfortunately.

[b4rac3r]

Well up for this. Holiday form is in at work to have the night before off. . . Snaking all day

[Dyna]

Snaking all day

Errr what does this mean exactly ?? Not sure if i want to attend if we all have to 'snake'..... :wtf: :lol:

[b4rac3r]

Dont panic matt your past snaking now. Just us learner drivers that will be snaking lol. . . . Unless you want to of course

[peetbee]

Any more racers up for a full day of racing?
email me at info@caldicotrcracers.co.uk :thumbsup:

[Roy]

Hi Pete,

How's the entries going?

Hope you get a good turnout.

[Teaboy]

Im in now, email sent,

Cheers

Rich

[brian s]

hi pete, e-mail sent

[peetbee]

Excellent, looking forward to this now,

Just another plug for the event and to say that if you can't make the whole day then just turn up when you can and you'll be added to the appropriate heat (although I'd prefer to know you are coming in advance!)

I already have several people who are joiing in the fun from midday, 2pm onwards or just for the normal evening's racing!

The more the merrier (I think we're up to 6 heats at the moment).
NB - All lipos to be charged within Lipo Bag.

[Caine]

I havent got a lipo bag yet pete!

[blue_pinky]

You've got a couple of days to get one! Get it done ;) :thumbsup:

[Caine]

Alright, alright. just ordered one :thumbsup:

[markwilliamson2001]

Looking forward to this! just need some new minipins now! :thumbsup:

[millzy]

Oh crap, good call mark best get some pins on order....and gears lol.

[c0sie]

You actually going to attend Millz? :D

[Jamie.T]

Pete, im not 100% sure if i can now attend. I will let you know on Thursday evening.

[millzy]

You actually going to attend Millz? :D

Yeah booked in ages ago for this, been racing at tally for a bit, so looking to race indoors again.

whats the plan for food?? racing all day and night i need to feed my inner H.

oh and I NEED a pt, can i rent one of the clubs?

[peetbee]

No problem Jamie
Millzy, we should have a PT you can rent!
In terms of food, will be doing the usual hot dogs, teas, coffees, etc (c0sie, you want a veggie pasty/pot noodle or will you be bringing your own salad?)
Look forward to seeing you all there

[liam]

If anyone can lend me a set of stick nimhs that would be great as im planning on getting a vintage brushed car out of a heat or two!

Ta

[markwilliamson2001]

Will Paul Knight be attending, I could really do with some green rear inserts (schumachers)....?

Can anyone confirm?

Thanks,

[Balders]

as far as i know he'll be along but not from the start of the day.

[evilbert]

damn it, hopefully i will be able to put in some quicker times after he arrives cos i'm running near slicks at the moment.

[evolution]

I got the go ahead from the boss to go out to play. I hope its not going to be a sunny day,cos i'll be tempted to go out on the bike!!!
If you guys want stuff,give me a buzz 07812 115259 at the shop and if i am out on the bike in the morning, i'll drop you bits up to the club.
I will be up later in the afternoon to race and i'll have all the spares with me.
Be nice to pre warn me though incase i don't take enough tyres etc. An hours racing is gonna kill tyres!!!!!

[evolution]

Oh yeah! Carisma parts and kits are in stock again :thumbsup:

[evilbert]

i will call you paul but i need a set of tyres and wheels for the S44, probably minispikes would suffice with medium inserts.

[brian s]

paul, if anyone is desperate for spares from you, i can pick their items up from your shop later today and take them to caerwent in the morning, if it helps.
cheers

[peetbee]

If anyone needs B4 or B44 spares I will have all mine with me if you're stuck.
Basically, you can have my parts and then replace them when Paul arrives.

[Balders]

I'll have lots of Tamiya spares with me... however, I generally need them all myself.. :(

:lol:

[c0sie]

Sorry Pete, only just seen your pasty post :)

C&O pasty as per your text, and ill bring my own salad :)

[Jamie.T]

Myself and Martin will be there today, should be arriving around 10.30 - 11.00am depending on traffic. See ya soon.

[Jamie.T]

Had an awesome day at Caldi, despite breaking 3 wishbones. Thank you to Andy for the excellent track, loved the big air jumps.

And lastly I owe a sincere apology to Pete Belsten for hitting him with my car. I really do hope your back gets better soon. If not, feel free to call claims direct. Lol

Thanks again to all involved for making today happen.

[Roy]

Echo Jamie's comments (well not the bit about hitting Pete), it was a great day...........

Thanks to all the hard work for those who helped get the meeting up and running, Andy layed out a fantastic track but can someone take the tape off him; never seen so much used in a race meeting.

Thanks to ALL the Caldicot crew...........

[b4rac3r]

Yes well done Andy and Pete and whoever else was involved in organising the event ...... :thumbsup::thumbsup:

Other than the back jump:thumbdown: which most people kept missing:woot: the track was superb :thumbsup:and I thoroughly enjoyed it:drool:

Met a few new faces and seen a lot of of old ones too .... All in all a cracking days racing

[Teaboy]

Thanks to all, it was a great day, very kanckered at the end of the day. That jump should be part of the new car testing spec, as it broke just about everything on my Cougar although if i could drive i would'nt of have that problem.

Cheers

Rich

[Caine]

Yes indeed was a most excellent day, really enjoyed myself. Was really suprised i had no breakages on my car as well!
I'll say the same as everybody else again. Big thanks to Pete and Andy for sorting out the day for us all:thumbsup: and i hope your backs alright pete!

[hit5005]

yer top day and night looking forword to the next one

[brian s]

great days racing,just needed onions in pete`s hotdogs :woot:

[Body Paint]

Awesome track Andy, loved the big jump, I now know I need more horses :lol:

Whos was that green Pug? I quite liked that :)

[JACKOR33]

Awesome days racing with an awesome track, that kept you on your toes!!
Well happy making the a finals aswell:thumbsup:

[peetbee]

Owwww, it still hurts!!
Glad everyone enjoyed the day, it was fantastic, sorry i had to disapear early.
Craig, the pug is Carl Morgan's

[blue_pinky]

Glad you enjoyed the track...I really enjoyed the day and the racing. The track was just challenging enough to keep it intersting for the full day, and was great fun. The BIG jump was ace fun, and even more so after a gentle 'you can easily clear that' word in my ear when a certain someone arrived ;)

Never one to turn down a challenge how could I not try it!!! Great fun, even if it ended in disaster in the last final...wall versus B44 at what felt like mach 10, never gonna be pretty, and sorry to Rob for the moment prior to that that ended his race early. Justice was done in the end though...all hail Rob 2 eggs West :thumbsup:

Some slightly interesting lessons learned with regards placing large features/jumps and marshalling too...every day is a school day, and I promise to improve :blush:

Cheers for a top day guys :D
