A blast from the past.

I think we should have a national there !!! Not for the track but for the night club, errr think it was called Tramps
Just get Bernie Ecclestone to organise it. There must be a Morrisons car park nearby.

So are we saying that as Southport (as i guess this is what it is all about) is the only Northern club that applied they should get one ???

I don't have any issue with Southport and there are two nationals this year that i would gladly replace with Southport, but they are what they are. If you don't want to do them don't, as was said on the other thread if you think the voting system needs improving put down ideas...
Tip - Racers can't make the decision solely, and being the only club in your area doens't give you right to a national.

No secret, but you always seem to know more than anyone else! Perhaps you can tell us, if not then wait like everyone else.. If i say only 10 caravans it's not fair on those that don't come on here and don't have a chance to book.

They should be spread fairly throughout the country. If you take in to account numbers of racers then its a definite yes.

It was a simple question, do i need to spell it out more clearly? I never asked about caravans, I asked what the pitting and camping situation was? I can't see why you feel the need to keep that a secret. But it's not a problem, I can wait

Don't you want to ask another pointless question like if there will be marshall point's ???

Just asking as i have never been to a national yet without pitting etc available...

Alec, all clubs have a criteria to work to. Im sure silverstone will have everything under control and there wont be anything you need to know before anyone else on here!!
Clubs work very hard for a national, just give em some respect!

Anyone whinging about the traveling should be thankful, in my new home country there is only one national.....and I think it's further for me to travel to it than the UK ones probably!! (Boston to SoCal!)

Gutted I'm not around to race them this year...there's too many good tracks because they all look good to me but then there's no Southport or Tally...better than not enough good tracks though!!

Oh, and for what it's worth (not much as I'm not there!), I'm all in favour of at least a round being indoors, that's at least one not rain affected!!

The Silverstone round is indoors then, just an observation and I'm guessing its probably down to venue availability but i bet 5 bags of potatoes that august 4th/5th is the hottest and sunniest weekends of the year it's a shame one of the outdoor meetings couldn't be on this weekend as it's the height of summer

JAMES! JAMES JAMES, as you are a farmer,, you should be one of the first to comment that we do not get summers anymore
Is it indoors? That will feel strange, bit like when the awesome Tiverton was going.
Are mini pins a national tyre now too then

Roll on the nationals 2012. (nitro and leccy)

I think the hottest weekends of this year were around the april bank holidays so planning on August being hot isn't always going to be correct as not even the professional weather folk know what's going on half the time!

And as for our 'summer', i must have missed that 'one day' this year!

Wow! A National Series without Southport, that's like Christmas without turkey and stuffing.. and my best chance of getting in the top 100!
