Hmmm now that's not a bad idea..... Lee? Where are you???

I don't mind my car getting muddy, it's just a shame if it requires TR32's/Full spikes as i'm sure it's still the case that nothing else gets close if it's really wet - i know Lee said that's why he left Swindon last year as even he was 2 seconds a lap slower.

I'm just hoping it's dry for the first part of the day at least :-)

Hi Phill,

I was intending going over Saturday to have a look at the track, also if the club are looking for any help with regard getting it all right by the End of season finals i don't mind lending a hand.
Can you let us know what the situation is with the track once you have been over ??
Would love to get over before sat but family plans already made.


Regards

John

Good spot Mick, hope it does stay dry! A bit of rain in the morning won't do any harm, but it's horrible racing all day when it's pi$$ing down.

Cool

Hopefully if Phil has looked at the track he'll be able to suggest some alternative layouts so as to make the meeting on Sunday a success. Especially as the weather looks a little more promising now . . . . . I think the weather men guess. . . . . must be the only job on the planet that you can get wrong 365 days of the year and still stay employed !!!!!

I've got my own B4 now, so hoping to run it for the first time this weekend I'm hoping it'll be an easy step from the B3 as it should really just do everything a bit better? Hope that's the case anyway

Hi Guys

The track is ok to race on bit muddy at present but a lot of grip. The grass has not taken in some places and it has not helped the club that some nice young gentelmen have been riding there bikes around the track, thus the racing line. Bet they had fun though. Still old school grass track there are some jumps

If the weater stays as it is now, the grass will be cut on Saturday and rolled. The weather forcast looks ok dry today and windy, dry tomorrow. showers from about 1pm-2pm on Sunday.

The club are going to re seed the grass after this event.

Hope this helps you all and lookforward to seeing you all on Sunday.

Can anybody help me with the name and tel number of the people who supply the free astro please, seem to of lost last years BRCA book

Phill T

If the track is good enough for the Regional Rep (Phil) then it should be ok for everyone else


See you all Sunday

....... and Nick, should be good to see you driving the B4 (a much better car than your old B3)

Try NN12 8XA this puts you in Church Street, track entrance is between the village and West End (road name) on the north side of Church Street, on the right driving out of the village (west).

Maps on club site here:

http://www.srcmcc.com/where.html

"SRCMCC are based in the sports hall which is part of Silverstone Recreational Association Sports and Social club. The Pavilion and Sports club are situated off the main A43 on the other side of the village to Silverstone racing circuit. Follow the Whittlebury Road into Church Street. Take the road that goes round the Shop. The hall is near some swings, Football pitches, Tennis courts and the village Cricket ground."

So head into the village from A43 and look for the rec. parking on the grass near track (at least was last year) drive around the edge of the cricket pitch. Toilets in pavilion/sports club, walk back across the pitch.
