Good News

We have secured a Burger van for the allday meeting this sunday, so there will be little need for Barbcues, but please note they will be selling, bacon, egg, Hotdogs, Burgers, Rolls TBC, Salad, Hot and Cold Drinks and snacks.

So please try and support this opportunity to have the food on site, as would like to see this come back again.

Please pass the word, and also thanks to Rob Warren for chasing the opportunity:thumbsup:

[maseace]

Burger van is a great idea, I will support that instead of bringing a bbq

[Dudders]

Can you please add/reserve a disabled parking spot for Adam Mason? He's still whimping on about his poorly foot :p

[martin so16]

will he need a chair lift up to the rostrum :woot:

[Dudders]

No, for some unknown reason he doesnt need that, he can 'manage'. Bloody hate benefit cheats ;)

[maseace]

Cheers, neil yours has no steps and is a slope and the good thing about torch apart from the track is the parking is trackside, not like yours a ten min walk ha ha :p:p:p:p

[Dudders]

[maseace]

That's how long it took me to get to the loos ha ha, yep I had the best seat in the house just a shame seeing everyone else race didn't improve mine. I think if I was able to run the under lipo weight I would have been more on the pace dumb diff slipping all day

[Dudders]

Bad workmen always blame there....

I'm racing tomorrow AND Sunday, gonna get your butt kicked :woot:

[maseace]

Can't do tomorrow need to rest the leg, but you can kick my arse on sunday but don't think we will be in the same heat so i guess its how bad you do to join us ha ha

[Dudders]

After Deano's efforts on Sunday, he'll be in the top heat!

Go Useless!!!!

[Deano577]

Top heat I don't think so !!! just put it together in the end !! With a few tips from skippy hope fully we will be in the same heats??

I'm in Steve, i have a new spectrum wheel tranny to try, quite excited as i used to use a wheel back in the day, when they weren't popular. We'll see how it goes. (can't seem to trust my thumbs anymore, so trying fingers instead)

See you there. It'll be a hot one.....

Neil

[Deano577]

Are the lasy crew coming Sunday as need to get some new boots?

[makinwaves]

Yup. Some of us will be there. Simon needs a lay in after a week of DIY but i'll be there flying the rcLazy flag. Maybe Haskell as well, Matt you out there?

So, who wants what brought down? It'll be a smaller shop as we only have the boot of the Type R to fill.

See you Sunday.

Yellows and blues and what inserts you think

[hotrodchris]

Sorry Steve most of the Clanners are either at Deerdale for the Truggy Nats or Slough this Sunday i believe

[Dudders]

Just make sure your van man has plenty of cold water eh chaps??

Dont forget that sunscreen :lol:

[mikeyscott]

Looking forward to hopfully chilled out time tomorrow with some good racing. I'm virtually lined up to go 4WD tomorrow, but the SV is ready too.

Those not joining us have a good one etc.

[MrMagoo]

Hopefully be down for a day with the 'Rango. Been a bit under the weather of late so i don't want to travel too far, hence no Truggy Nats or Slough for me this weekend. I'll take a chilled out day at TORCH to remedy my ills!

[mikeyscott]

24C is that all :( wanting a 28C +!!

Time to think about getting some air holes into the shell

[Dudders]

Weathermen here say 30c...:thumbdown:

[Briangb]

Hi JC. Sorry to hear you have been unwell. In that case don't forget to pack water, sun block, water, sun shade, water,paracetomol, sunglasses,cap, and plenty of water. If you have any room left, stick the Rango in as well. No really, hope you have a good day and fly the flag for the nitro boys. I will be at Slough, without, hopefully, those pesky gremlins. Good luck to all. I plan to be rocking in at TORCH sometime soon.
P.S. Hope I can remember your short cut home through Windsor and Ascot.

[mikeyscott]

Weathermen here say 30c...:thumbdown:

:thumbsup: send it this way!

Pip

The price you have quoted are for club mornings. The prices I gave were for the all day events.

Thanks for pointing out the incorrect £7 on this forum - it is out of date and we'll get it corrected.

Race fees remain the same regardless of the weather.

I'm in for Cake!
