NERCR 2008 Outdoor Regional Weekender!

[chrispattinson]

Details for NERCR 2008 Outdoor regional Weekender

Saturday 24th May (4WD) and Sunday 25th May (2WD) (Bank holiday weekend at the end of May).

Camping available free of charge on Friday and Saturday nights, on South Shields Sea Front, in a locked park (NERCR will have the keys).

We have sole use of the Bents Park for the weekend.

Toilet facilities open 24hours within the park, for our use only.
Burger van will be attending all day Saturday and all day Sunday.
BBQs are allowed, we only ask that you do not damage the grass in anyway, and that all litter is removed from the site as usual.

Recreational park is 50 metres away, with pedalloes, kids mini train, Pub is 75 metres away, does great food. Fairground is 75 metres away, with bowling alley etc. The beach is 100 metres away. Restaurants are 150 metres away. And there's plenty room for that pre finals game of football.

This event has been arranged with South Tyneside council, and Northumbria Police, and is going to be a great event to push for a permanent track, if enough racers are interested.

Heres a MAP and DIRECTIONS to the venue. http://www.nercr.net/temp/CCCup_7_7_07.pdf


Here's a picture of the venue

[super__dan]

Sounds great chris, and that you've done a lot of hard work already

[chrispattinson]

Cheers Dan, its always worth the effort though.

[Lee]

Bents park is a good venue its where they held the catherine cookson classic last year, i think for the regional though there may be a bigger track which is always good!!:thumbsup:

[chrispattinson]

Lee,

with us having sole use of the park on the regional weekend, we can use as much space as we want for the track.

We were limited by what the council gave us last summer, with there being lots of other stuff going on in the park.

So yes, we can have a big track, and hopefully make it as varied as we can.

[N7ELA]

It going to be a massive track. Get your self to specsavers chris cos i want no excuses when my ten year old losi kicks your ass....

neil.

[dave p hall]

LOL well Bury looks like the plan :)

[chrispattinson]

Track building will be taking place on Friday from around 1 ish (provisionally). Look out for official post Re: times etc from NERCR.

[nobby]

i know a lot of you guys like a game of football on a saturday night, but i was thinking as most of you are from yorkshire the home of rugby.

why don't we have a game of rugby teams of 7 it maybe fun:thumbsup:

yorkshire ppl like grayhound racin dont they ... its the welsh that are the egg chacers coz they cant play football ....i could be wrong

[N7ELA]

Yorkshire is rounders i think duncan. Wales is rugby cos they had hundreds of attempts at making a football but couldn't get it right...

I think they only play when the weather is fine. They can't hit a rounders ball with a brolly in their hands so they play snooker when its raining...

And i think the welsh play in the barn when its raining. Although its not called rugby... But they get pleanty of tries each im told... (BAhaaaa)

Us english lads race electric cars when is raining and get up to the eyes in sh**********te...

[WHITTLER555]

Hello Chris, do we need to book caravans in?

If we do, then book me in!

What time can we get onto the field?

Are there any facilities such as a water tap?

Cheers

Damian

[chrispattinson]

Hi Damian,

What we have is a park type field, with a toilet block. Caravans will not need to be booked in, and any water will need to be carried from the toilet block.

The access is very good, virtually flat from the road into the park.

However, if you want to book into the proper caravan park, which is over the hedge from the park we have, search for 'Sand Haven Caravan Park', which will have proper caravan bays with water and electric hookup points. I would imagine if you use Sand Haven Caravan Site, then you will need to book it.

Keep your eyes peeled on this thread for official times, we will be getting a post out ASAP, and it looks like we might be able to offer Friday, Saturday and Sunday night in the park for people wanting to enjoy the whole of the bank holiday weekend by the sea. This is to be confirmed within the next few days.

Chris.

[dave p hall]

can't wait:drool:we can build sandcastles if were bored:woot:its nice to be at the seaside:D

[Lee]

Depends if there is a tsunami:thumbsup:

Although i do have a waterproof speedo :lol:


Im looking forward to this weekend, it should be ace:thumbsup::thumbsup:

[mattym0310]

[ben]

omg who fancys taking their cars for a bash on the beach:drool: Oh and i want to go in the sea for a swim hahaha. Who cares about the racing i just want to make a sandcastle lol

[Lee]

Yeah lets go bathing in the north sea:lol:

I think its the ricky hatton fight on the sat night too:thumbsup:

[WHITTLER555]

Cheers Chris, I will be taking advantage of your hospitality on the racing field!

Just wanted to make sure there was a water supply as the car gets a bit heavy with 10 gallon of water on board!

I will keep an eye out for the times.

if anyone wants to do the b&b thing just google beach road south shields.

[emzy]

There's loooooads of B&Bs in South Shields... and they're also mainly opposite a load of really good curry restaurants (about 5 or 10 (if drunk) minutes walk from the track)...

My parents have a spare room... I'm sure they'd be willing to rent it out... haha. 5 minutes walk from the track!

[djduncaz]

[Lee]

ooooh someone has learned how to quote:woot:

Prepare to be fisted at tallygghhffll lil ben:lol:

[ben]

FISTER which lubricant? haha. Atleast im not camping with chris long haha. THUMBS :thumbsup: lol.

Anyways lets try and bring this thread back on track hehe :woot::lol:

[Lee]

Ok, but your still getting fisted and will be finished off with mr thumb:eh?:

Back on topic.

Seeing as Nercr and jarrow are closely linked, will we be using the same jumps as we did a few weeks ago. The table top was cool, and well designed with the nice big down ramp. The 180 degree multi level table top was also very good.:thumbsup:

[ben]

owww yes table top was awesome. Bring it to nercr pleaseeee :thumbsup:

[mattym0310]

So who's camping on the Friday night then??

[ben]

meeeee

[footey]

meeeeeeeee

[ben]

Im not now :rolleyes:

[ben]

haha just jokin shane

[josh_smaxx]

i am :thumbsup:

Ben, you gonna bring your xbox? :woot:

[ben]

:o. Will have to see :). If your gonna fill my genny up then course i will. Cos it takes a hell of alot of power does the xbox lol

[josh_smaxx]

Maybe we can get a load of people to pitch in, so its cheaper to run, or we can just siphon someones car while there not looking :lol:

[chris68nufc]

Xbox? Why do you want to play with that? If its nice weather then you should be playing football on the beach or checking the ladies out at the fun fair. Hopefully the weather will be good and you will be able to bbq and drink in the sun instead!
Im hoping for both my cars to feature in the report by the new reporters and not just the same 10 that make the A final!

[rcracer]

So who's camping on the Friday night then??

[dave p hall]

[notlawnomis]

Chris,

Any 'official' news on when we can get in etc?
What time will the gates be open on Friday night, I'll probably be coming up after work.

Cheers,

G

Chris is on holiday at the mo, I'll try and put something more comprehensive up tomorrow night. However access to the site will be from 3pm, this is to allow the council time to erect the rostrum etc. Camping is also available on Sunday night, for those not wanting to rush off after Sundays racing!!

Simon

[timmy121]

anybody know about dogs on site

[chrispattinson]

Just got back from Holiday, sorry for any missed questions.

Yes, dogs are allowed on site, no problems there.

As for fish and chip shops, there's the countrys No.1, as voted for by BBC good food magazine, only 5 minute walk from the track:

http://www.colmansfishandchips.com/

[Northy]

Right, looks like my pregnant wife doesn't really want to spend two nights in a tent!

What time do the gates open Saturday morning? :confused:
Where is the nearest hospital? :lol:

G

[Cockerill]

Right, looks like my pregnant wife doesn't really want to spend two nights in a tent!


One in the tent, one in the car, sorted :thumbsup:

[chrispattinson]

Nearest hospital is in South Shields, called South Tyneside District Hospital.

It is about a 5 minute drive from the track, and is next door to Temple Park (where the indoor regional was).

South Tyneside District Hospital,
Harton Lane,
South Shields,
Tyne and Wear
NE34 OPL.



Gates will be controlled by a responsible NERCR member, so they'll open when that person gets out of their tent.

The weather is going to be sunny! (according to the BBC)

And as Simon mentioned, you can stop over for the bank holiday, as we have camping for the Sunday night.

5min drive what car u driven pattas you gettin a new 1 like

[notlawnomis]

Yes, dogs are allowed on site, no problems there.

Just to add to this, Yes dogs are fine on site, however they must remain on a lead at all times and all mess must be picked up immediately.

I think Chris has covered all the other points.

[Northy]

On Saturday, before the finals, the Mayor of South Tyneside will be attending to see what all the fuss is about with these model cars, as part of our effort to get a permanent track up here. It probably doesn't need to to be said, buut if we can keep the park nice and tidy, and all be on our best behaviour, especially when he is attending, it might go a long way towards helping our effort along. Thanks.

Good to hear Chris:)

[baD]

With no bush watering, least not in daylight, it was a fun weekend. Thanks to all who turned up and for leaving the place in pretty good nick. Bodes well for a return of last years Catherine Cookson Cup ! :thumbsup:

Thnaks too for all the fine comments on here, and a fair few at the park, it's Simon W & Chris P who desreve the credit, for both effort & organisation, do you think NERCR could make a few bob renting them out? ;)

Full of praise form me too, the Sunday 2wd track was particulalrly good for a flat grass track.

Something a wiser man than me said for next year, if the rostrum was the other side the gale force wind wouldn't blow in your eyes ;)

i'm sure many others were wind burnt too, my skin has gone back to normal now, was very annoying last night though, can post more pics up but sadly i didn't catch your car matt as I had to marshall your final and yours heats were the one of the only ones i didn't see, hope to get snaps of the earlier heats at york if i'm not too busy pitting, if anyone does want pics of their cars in any of the remaining NE regionals let em know and i'll do my best

a dont think he was racin your cars he had that academy thing out then i took him home as he broke a speedo and picked him up with this procat thing a think . not sure about 2wd as i slept all day after gettin back to the tent around 8am of the nite b4

[chrispattinson]

If anyone has pictures of my cars, they are blue and yellow. (4WD Tamiya TRF501X, car 1 Heat 7 in qualifying, car 10 in A final), or my 2WD (B4 Car 8 Heat 5, or Car 8 B final) it'd be appreciated. Thanks.

Thanks to everyone that helped over the weekend, too many to mention, but it was all worth while. Thanks to those that turned up to race aswell.

Em - your dad was using his Academy in 4wd, but your B4 in 2wd.

[mr emily]

They are right I used the academy V2, but it stopped speedo I think. I didn't use the Procat, to precious. Used bit from it though. The B4 went ok. Bought an X6 today so it will be sacrificed for bits. Two fun days, but I got bont.Not sure if it was the sun or the wind.

Thanks for that Mike - not a bad report at all - especially as it was early Monday morning when the reporter caught me, still half asleep :o

Thanks for the pics, yours and others I have 'borrowed' off this site are now on NERCR site --> http://www.nercr.net/Gallery.htm
Good pictures of the Mayor of South Shields.
If anyone objects, let me know and I will remove them immediately.

When the mayor's chauffeur got the BIGGEST air of the day off the tabletop - and smashed that poor racers car in the process - was the funniest moment of the meeting for me!

Perhaps not up to the standard of other contributers, but the best my poor cybershot can do.

I have the Hi-res originals if anyone wants a blow up, just PM.

[chrispattinson]

Top work Ian, thanks. The blur on the car is just because I was going so fast!

Of course Chris. LOL

[N7ELA]

Some class pictures there Ian. I especially like the one of my borrowed B4 with a borrowed shell. It gives me a good insight of why I did so badly. Far too wide and tentative on all the tight corners....

Was that an attempt at Geordie?

Howay starts with an H. And half of that lot down at Jarrow are Mackems anyway.
