Someone told me yesterday that I could be charged to get to the track. Not the conjestion charge but a green charge and if you ring in advance the charge is reduced can someone confirm if this is true or not cheers.

Default Emissions

Hi Spencer

There is a low-emissions zone that comes into force about a mile or two once you have gone onto the A21. This is designed for older trucks and lorries.

I believe that currently, all cars are exempt.

Is this what you were told about?

Beat me to it Ian it is in the zone but you will only be affected if you are driving a Mac White.

Are spectators welcome? I used to race quite regularly at EPO in the early to mid ninties and quite fancy popping up for a look.
Will parking be an issue at the sports club?

Spectators are always welcome.

I imagine there should be sufficient space. I would imagine the football and rugby seasons are over now

Yes of course we welcome spectators and former racers who may be tempted back. There is plenty of viewing space round most of the three open sides of the track, two of which feature Astroturf so if it is a little damp, there shouldn't be too much mud!

If the petrol prices carry on going up there may be alot from up north not coming or if there are any more strikes. I will be OK working for the NHS, last time I could jump the Qs at the petrol stations got some nasty looks by people in the Qs though.

Yes lets hope that we are not affected by the current financial climate...

Its ten years since the venue hosted a national and it was wet for one day I think - cant remember as I was having a break from RC at the time.

We have had bad experiences of low turnouts in the past (British GP) and it is so frustrating for the organising club and members. The site of a marquee capable of holding 120+ drivers with mains power for all looking half empty is terrible....

Anyway, not long to go now. I am sure that many of you out there have been or are in the smae position as me - waking up in the morning with your brain working overtime, thinking that I must do that job, dont forget this, contact them...

Roll on Monday 30th and back to work for a nice rest!

Chris - you saw the added attraction of the on-site bar?

No brainer I guess....

Got to say, attended a few meetings at EPO over the winter, and was there for their Regional on Sunday, (4wd Open)... And all i can say is awesome, the track has everyhting jumps, technical sections etc....

And it is really nice to see all that money that DC scrounged, (only kidding Dave..) of us over the winter has clearly been put too good use with the track looking better and better.....

Can't wait
