Yeah. Hopefully won't be too bad and we can race. Last week was awesome. Needless to say I won't be bringing the Skyline on 265 slicks

We plan to open the Club at the usual time and any arrivals are free to make use of the Services however you will be required to pay the fees
There will be no computer so obviously there will be no points for the championship
Please leave the Hall in the state you find it…
For tonight Mr C Gunter in in charge so whatever he says goes

OK without the computer we won't be having a normal race night, which is understandable.

But do we know what format of racing we have planned instead, ie. will it be just free for all practice through the night. Or will we try to arrange some sought of race heats on a more social level, obviously we have no timing system for tonight.

Free all nite practice would be the best format to go with although
the use of a stopwatch could work but that would then rely on
People respecting the time caller and doing marshal duty,,,
The only reason most drivers do as Steve tells them is because
He controls the racing and can deduct points

Hi mate, havethanks for the offer but i have got to pick my mate up on the way! I managed to get the van out so should all be good! The main roads are icy but passable! Come and say hello tonight, maybe we can lift share in the future? You won't be able to miss me, and I've got a black Sierra Cosworth Texaco Replica that will be crashing into ever piece of track marker it can!

No1 to run the computer basically is the problem so will be free practice.

And Tim we don't have marshalling during practice norm so I can't see us having marshals tonight.

Think there needs to be some sort of control on how many cars are on track at any time or it's going to be expensive for every1.

If people could stick to 5/6 mins runs only not staying out for 20 mins with mardave's preventing others a go would be appreciated.
