There are a few things in life that confuse me...and one of them is why Caldicot RC Club, as one of the best indoor venues for tracks in the country for its size (UK, let alone in the Wales/South West region) isnt better supported at events like these!

I think its a combination of a lot of things tbh Cris - the main one is that most people seem to think its miles away from anywhere in deepest darkest Wales and hard to get to, but in reality its just off the M4 over the Severn bridge...

Plus of course youll get conflict of other indoor series like The Ardent series, which are pretty much on exactly the same dates as ours. I think once the WRCA is back to its best we'll see a lot more people come our way

And I wouldnt worry too much about the regional, i have a sneaky feeling there will be a lot more entries by the weekend

[peetbee]

Hope so Matt, can I put you down for 2wd & 4wd then?

Who know's Cris, one of life's mysteries, but I've had another 6 entries so far today.

It's almost impossible to schedule meetings that don't clash with other events, no matter what you do. Even if you don't clash you're still in the position of people not being able to commit to racing every weekend.

[blue_pinky]

And it's amazing who turns up from nowhere on the day as well...don't worry about the entry levels Cris...numbers are looking plenty good enough to be honest!

We probably couldn't cope if 100 people turned up anyway

[Dyna]

Hopefully i can do the event, as long as work dosent get in the way.... and if i do ill probably do both 2 & 4wd.

Ill let you know by Thursday night, as ive a meeting on Thursday which will decide whether i'm working or not over the weekend

[peetbee]

Sounds like fun Matt.
And as Andy says, we're not after 100s of entries!

[DCM]

only a few years back, we were down to 20 or so racers, things are getting better in Sunny South Wales!

[millzy]

Ture, I remeber going to swansea and there was only 4 of in 4wd, Me ,spooner ,slik, and one of the DC racing drivers.

but......there was loads of touring car drivers

[peetbee]

Well over 40 entries now

Please note for parking:
We do not have enough room to park all the cars outside the hall, so there will be an overflow carpark in operation.
You will be able to use the the club carpark as a drop-off area but then will have to park in the RAF base!

Directions:
1/ Turn into Dinham Road from the A48 and take the 2nd right into Lawrence Crescent
2/ You will see a gravel carpark on the right hand side. Park here to get your gear into the venue.
3/ Go back out Lawrence Crescent, turn right and go through the big Army gates.
4/ Park in the car park on the left hand side.
5/ Walk back to the venue (it's not as far as it looks!)

Hopefully you can see what I mean from the attached map:



Sorry about this but the Caldicot venue is slap bang in the middle of a residential estate so we have to keep the streets clear for the resident's parking and access. Please please keep the volume down and drive sensibly too!!

Many thanks

[millzy]
