Don't forget that your own sponsor also runs on a Wednesday evening.

Surely the sponsor is the shop not a 'CLUB'. Should this really be said in a forum especially someone else's. I thought its best to support our local club/rivals as you personally know I do on a mic weekly, Matt. Stotfold have run on a Wednesday longer than the 4 years I've been racing!

Why does there need to be a difference between a shop and a club? At Telstar you represent both!

I did hear you get sponsored if you race there.

Seriously, Kev Lee has Stotfold in his blood and that's like him telling me I couldn't run my own club. That's all I'm saying, but gladly continue if you wish.

That a bit harsh mate, you've run at Telstar and you didn't get a sponsor offer, maybe that because you change sponsors as often as you change your pants. How are you getting on with the C4.1 I mean 201 Vega by the way?

This is going slightly off the original thread. As everybody who races at Stotfold knows, the track is a national track and is organised very well on a Wednesday night or any other meeting.

The weather forecast looks good for this week and even the ice cream van comes down to visit us racers on a Wednesday night.

I'll be going just for the ice cream and racing.....

Looking forward to seeing you down there Matt. Should be good, I will be down there. Probably won't stay for the finals, as like to get my weeks fix of the Apprentice, (as yes I do have SkyHD+, but its much better live :-)).

Anyway, yes Stotfold Midweek series, has probably been running for 10yrs +. But I like to think we are all one big family and can run on the same night without conflict. I say if you want to go to Telstar, go to Telstar. If Stotfold is your prefered option, then see you down there.

And fianlly thanks to Jason, for putting this post on, nice to see soemone who is no longer directly involved with the club, e.g. Comitee member etc. Plug our meetings. Thanks.
