No problem booking on the day, we wont turn anyone away. but if the heats are pre done, then you just get placed where ever they can when you book in. no problem with a newbie.

Also waether's looking ok at the moment, we havent raced on the ground for the past two weeks due to weather, so it should be nice after a grass cut. We got one or two things to do on the saturday to tidy up the area, but nothing big.

Ant you really need to figure out this email malarky...I heard everyone's doing it ;)

Get a gmail account, or a hotmail account, or one of the many many many free webmail services that are out there and join the fun :woot:

I've booked in for 4wd...am about half way through cleaning my car from Cobra's mud bath...so it had better be dry on Sunday...bloomin long way to come from Weston to have to clean the car like this again so soon!

What time will booking in be?

big dave
22-09-2011, 12:41 PM

Best way to discribe how to get there is.......

Take the left turning off the mc donalds roundabout on A465 if coming from neath, Go along the road about 500 yards ish and turn left on the old road, continue down there around the bend, then you pass a laybye behind some trees, after that you see a large house on the left, then about 400 yards after that is a tunring on the left that takes you into a lane and you will see a house to your left, follow the lane over the canal bridge, "the lane is bumpy but get better over the otherside of the bridge"
Then as you go over the bridge go striaght on past the gate that should be open, if its not its just lift the rope to open. then follow the lane to the lakes.

Anthony, my post above has a link with a step by step map of exactly how to get there.

Just incase you missed it click this - http://www.swansearc.co.uk/outdoor_t...irections.html (http://www.swansearc.co.uk/outdoor_track_directions.html)

If your coming down the Heads of the valley, just turn right at the McDonlads roundabout and the rest is the same.

well that was annoying.

100 mile round trip to stand in a puddle of mud. twas a shame, as swansea had done an excellent job of laying out a lovely track.

***king weather!

doubt it Huw, I believe that Swansea are due to head indoors next month and good weather now is likely to be in even shorter supply:(

Great days racing abliet a bit wet for the first 2 rounds but to be honest after running on s much astro it was reat fun getting the mbx6 sideways some what.

Great job done by the Swansea crewe to get the meeting going.

I have a few photos i will post a link to later.

Cheer's Steve, Mike and crew.

Big shame on the weather. Was suprised how fast the track dried. But we would never of known that.
But it was a good days racing, the drifting went well. :woot:

Thanks all for coming, even tho the 10th racing never went ahead, still thanks to those that took a gamble and came along to see.
