How do you know how rough an elephants testicle is Martin? Mind you - you did look a bit pasty last night - hope you feel better soon.
59 drivers last night, so we were having it "even larger" than the week before! On top of that there were a couple of regulars missing and Alan has taken calls from people wishing to come and see what we do, so it's probably going to get even busier.
A couple of things I would like to request though chaps:
1. As much as that pitting space is at a premium, please can we try and keep the pitting area tidy and make best use of the space we have? Bags under tables to reduce any trip hazard, and if you have to use an extension lead PLEASE tape it down securely. We may have to look at pitting on the stage if we run out of room. Also if you have a pit table it may be wise to start bringing it - this also frees up the odd table for Crewie to incorporate into the track........
2. With the increase in numbers, invariably we're finishing later (still on time though). We all want to get away swiftly once racing is over, so can I remind EVERYONE that it has always been the courteous request of the FORCC "committee" that the last 2 heats stay and pack the track away. It always ends up with the same few doing it week in, week out, regardless of which heat they are in. And in some cases (Tony G), they're not racing at all and still help! So please, everyone do your share. There's between 14 - 16 people in the last heats and if everyone helps, it's literally minutes to put it all away and we can ALL get home at a decent time. No-one should consider themselves "above" helping out.
Thanks for listening - don't groan too loudly at the mention of packing away............
