I'll be there with car and running gear. What power setup have you got there as I only had enough pennies for the charger and not a power supply.

Please may I reserve a Transponder as well.

Cheers

Dave

No power on site I'm afraid...though plenty of people have 12v with them...I'm sure someone will let you connect up!

Mine will do it if needs be, you'll just need big croc clips on the input wires on your charger!

PT's are first come first served on the day...but thansk for letting us know you need one. We usually have spares, so shouldn't be an issue.

Weather update...

I've been down to the track today:

Off-road track...

Water logged in usual places only (bombhole and railway end of straight), we'll clear it first thing on Sunday, racing should be ok...depending on actual weather forecasts on the day.

On-road track...

Very water logged! As much water on track as last race day. Suspect no on-road racing will be on, but we have new pumps and are going to spend the day trying them out to see how effective they are for future events.

Will report back again tomorrow with final decisions on racing!

Weather update....TOMORROWS RACING IS OFF

Tracks are both water logged (although off-road track not as bad as the onroad track, and could probably be cleared), but with heavy rain forecast overnight and on an off all day tomorrow it really doesn't look like we'll get a days racing in.

So, to save everyone travelling in bad weather only to stand around under cover for a good part of the day we've decided to call it off.

Apologies for the late call...please let anyone know who you know might have turned up tomorrow.

Hopefully next weekend will see an improvement in the weather.

Sorry folks!
