First Outdoor Meeting Next Week!

Si Coe · #1 18-03-2012

OK, well we're off outdoors next weekend, but there are a few issues. Building work is still on going and as a result access to the track is limited, especially if the ground is damp.

What was discussed today is that we all park on the main car park, and we'll set up some tents for pitting nearer the track. Do not drive up to the track itself.

Clearly charging is going to be an issue with this layout, so we are looking at hooking up one of our genny's as a charging station. However, if like me you have a portable 12V I suggest you use that instead.

Exactly what our final parking arrangements will be is still being sorted, but this looks like the best option for now. If people have any tents, genny's etc they can supply it will all help.

Sounds like a good plan.

Si,

You got PM

Si Coe · #4 19-03-2012

Just to clarify this is just until construction finishes, which officially shouldn't be that long - another month I hear.
However at present the allocated parking area we've got is still tiny (15 cars or so) which means even then its going to be tight. Darren's chasing more room, but till then my advice is we designate the allocated parking as 'Disabled/Special access) and park on the main car park whenever possible.
In theory if you really NEED to drive up to the track it is possible, but only those who really need it should do so - ie not Volvo drivers....

Why? Are they "Track laying" or 4 wheel drive?

Been over to the track this morning for a spot of testing.
Have to say how good condition the actual track is in! Apart from a bit of sweeping , the track is exactly how it was left before the winter.
Ground around the cabin area is fine ( while the weathers dry)
I think a pitting area, and charging facility is going to be a must cause theres no way of getting cars near the track

YOU mean your not allowed

Verde · #15 22-03-2012

I've not been before fellas so just checking 10am arrival is early enough?

Si, I was hoping to pick your brains so will have to harass someone else instead... Good luck on the interview.
