[super__dan]

Excellent news, really looking forward to it. What type of surface are we looking at Matt?

Anyone else staying at the Kettering Travelodge (It was £10 a night in the Christmas sale)?

[neiloliver]

Less than two weeks to go now. Any updates available on the track?

N

[spenner]

Sorry Dan, must have missed this!

Track will be 540m2, mainly carpet and some slippy section with vinyl and wood. Probably a kicker and corner table with a few other bits thrown in :thumbsup:

Matt

[super__dan]

Sounds good, will there be a shop for tyres?

Is there a control tyre? I assume minipins will be the way to go?

Hi Dan,

Pins rear, however staggers front has been the choice for many including some uk top ten names. So not just for the likes of me that find pins too aggressive :blush:

Our resident shop InsideLineRacing will have full stock of tyres, foams etc...

See you there, buddy :thumbsup:

Matt

[super__dan]

[JACKOR33]

So what time are the doors open saturday guys?
Also whats the rough timetable for the day?

Thanks

[njc11]

Looking forward to this especially if the track is anything like Area51..

Are we able to set up friday aft / evening??

:thumbsup:

[JBL]

Any ideas on how many and who has booked in so far?

[chuckie stella]

Hi chaps.

Jack,
The doors open at 07.00 and as for time table I assume the event will run on the standard National format/time schedule. SRCMCC are a track/venue supplier only as this is a BRCA event.

Nick,
We are not strictly open on the Friday, however if people want to come and help lay the track they're welcome to setup their table before we leave. I will be on site between 19.00-22.00.

Jason,
As mentioned above about this being a BRCA event, they don't usual release any entry information. I think that the entries are quite good considering recent years entries to this event. (if that makes sense)

Matt

[Chequered Flag Racing]

Will there be live timing, streaming video?

[MatJohnson]

Snow's looking entertaining for the drive down on friday

[Pownabown]

I certainly hope there wont be any snow.
I shall pop in friday evening to take a look at what you folks are putting together.

Just gave my cars a polish and theyre good to go :)
Looking forward to this and hope it is similar to area 51, i like obstacles :p

[budgio]

Are there any spaces left ?
I've just been told I don't have to work this weekend.

[chuckie stella]

hope it is similar to area 51, i like obstacles :p

I'm being asked this question hourly! :lol:

We aim to supply a track that we hope is enjoyable for everyone. The features will be there, however not as large because the venue simply can't hold a rostrum 3 metres high without cutting a hole in the roof! ;)

Matt

[chuckie stella]

As I explained above I think. The venue is not open for people to setup pit area or just view the track. People are more than welcome to bring their table along to reserve space if they want to carry some heavy hoses :D

Matt

[Jamie B4]

Matt your getting quite a reputation for these tracks hope it dont interfere with your racing - really looking forward to it fella - get down there friday and will try and come and give you a hand. Is the heating sorted??

[MatJohnson]

Will we???? :) There's beer to be drunk before any racing takes place....

[chuckie stella]

Unfortunately it does interfere with racing massively as those who organise events will know! I just ask that everyone enjoys themselves and couldn't do it without those guys around me.

You will probably want the heating turned down, however I got where you were coming from!!!! :D

[hazeandfizz]

Get in Nick, both days buddy?

Hi mate, must have missed this earlier!
If not sorted yet PM me ASAP!! ;)

[jayst]

[JezT]

Has anyone, that is going Saturday, got a dremmel and bit that will cut through an ansmann front stub axle? Please can you bring it.

[JezT]

Forget that - found one thanks

[mikeyscott]

Any info, results, live timing avaliable?

I'd just like to thank the BRCA on behalf of SRCMCC for entrusting us with hosting this fantastic event with help to run it from your fantastic team. It was a pleasure to work with you all!

A MASSIVE THANK YOU to those who stayed to help pack away, I don't have to list you all as you know who you are (it did include Mr Schumacher himself!!), I appreciate all your help immensely. The WIFE asked me to say thanks from her also as I made it back to open her birthday presents with the kids before bedtime!!!!:thumbsup::thumbsup::thumbsup:

Well thats it from us I think (apart from Tuesday nights) until August so I hope you enjoyed your winter with us and wish you all well through the spring/summer months! :thumbsup:

Thanks for a great weekends racing.
Excellent venue and tracks and we weren't cold.
3 awesome legs of the A Final a joy to watch.

[Skye]

Did anyone get any video footage of the A finals? :eh?:

[Paul Field]

I have some footage i will post tomorrow. I've only been home for a couple of hours.

[JBL]

A great weekend with some very close racing, looking forward to the National in August and the Area 51 GP next year.

Well done to Kev Lee for a great final corner overtake on Ellis for the overall win in 4wd.

Commiserations to Tom C for qualifying 1st in the A final 4wd, but due to issues could not get the win.
