Oswestry 2WD Round 1 - 10/04/11

[neiloliver]

I hope everyone is ready for Sunday? We will have hot food available all day from the usual catering people. The weather forecast is fine at the moment so it should be a great day. :thumbsup:

I know we have a few new faces for this meeting so if anyone needs any help then please ask.

Neil, will the indoor pitting be available?

[neiloliver]

Jeff and Ash can confirm but I see no reason why not.

Phil / Neil

I messaged Ash regarding this earlier in the week and his reply said that he thinks there is an event at the site on the saturday and he is unsure that the hall will be empty on the sunday.

As the club don't hire the hall in the summer and have previously just used it when free he couldn't confirm if we could use it and was best to bring outdoor pitting just in case.

Thanks for the info, actually looks like the weather will hold for the weekend so no worries.

Are we going to be using the old corner astro track then for this meeting?
I cant wait :)

[RogerM]

I can't believe that I am missing yet another Oswestry event :( I always enjoy meetings at this venue but haven't been able to make it for several years now.

Have fun guys :)

The Mrs is picking up her new car in the next few days. IF we can leave early tomorrow we'll collect it tomorrow which free's up sunday for me.

So I'll have to book in late if I'm to join you racing. I'll be in the guest heat anyway since I'll be running the 'rango :)

Yes Nath, The Astro / Grass track for regional's im sure, The big grass track is built for the National

[jeffb4]

Yes we will be on the Astro Grass track.The weather forecast is sun and more sun (bring your sun cream). The building is available for indoor pitting but you will be unable to use the AC power points. AC power will be restricted to race control.

Will there be a shop attending ?

I hadn't realised the meeting was so soon! Is it too late to book in now or is it still ok? I enjoyed it a lot last year. :thumbsup:

[neiloliver]

You can book in on-line www.brca-midwest.co.uk but as Wednesday has passed you will be in heat one and will not be allowed to practice... themsistherules.

Do you guys run open practice or controlled in heats?

[russmini]

Ok, i'm lost... lol

I just can not find the track on Google Maps. I've never been before and as it will be a 1 3/4 hour drive, i really need to know exactly where i'm going, not just a general area...

Can someone Please pinpoint it on a map for me, so i know exactly which road to go up off the A5 and then where after that.

Cheers, Russ.

:thumbsup:

[Big G]

[KRob]

Cheers Gents,
Now then, what time does practice start?
(I like my lie-ins :p)

[neiloliver]

You should be at the track for booking in at 8am.

The question about practice is also covered on this page... I dont know why I bother sometimes :wub

[KRob]

Hi Neil,
I appreciate the reply, thank you.
My fault for missing the practice in heats bit - sorry :blush:

With regard to timing, I have plenty of experience from other meetings (regionals or otherwise - but not in the Mid-West I hasten to add) where the times published don't mean squat despite what has been printed/published on forms etc which has caused problems on the day.
Just wanted to be sure :)

[GRIFF55]

Oh mate, times mean everything in the mid west!! excellent run events!! Kinda wish i had a hybrid car to get there!! lol

[matdodd]

pepper:p


I can do that for you mate, dont forget your cash though :thumbsup:

[The Pookster]

What's the best front tyre?

[matdodd]

it depends how much front grip you like, ballistic spikes, Schumacher mini spikes or staggers all work fine

[Ritchie T]

Edit: Sorry read it properly now. :thumbsup:
