Camping Holbeach ?

[gazoff]

Hi

Could anybody tell me if caravans are permitted overnight at Holbeach or of any nearby campsites ?

P.S. Thanks to Broxtowe for a great meeting.

[CharlieF]

Yes I believe this is OK as it has been in the past. It cost £5.00 per night for caravans last year I think.

[RSharpy]

Must admit if the weather is anything like it is at the mo i'm tempted to camp over at Holbeach.

If there are a few up for it, it would be a good laugh. Anybody else planninig on camping?

I don't have a tent at the mo but could buy one, if not whats the motel next door like?

[blitzboy]

motel next door is ok mate you can get a challey for about £35.00 a night i think so no tent required but if ya wanna borrow a tent dude i ve got two hahahahahahaha:D

[stall4king]

we're all camping down there rich...think your dads coming along too, hope so anyway he said he's taking the bbq! Also bringing my personal cheerleader for my inevitable victory :thumbsup:

Get ya self down there! We stayed at the motel some years back for the f2 finals and the chalets were more than cosy!

[RSharpy]

Yep am camping if the weathers good. I'll be there singing 'ging gang goolie' round the camp fire. :lol:

[telboy]

How do you get access to the track?

I know where it is, just wondering how you get into the track.

:)

[blitzboy]

hi tel you can access the the track when you turn off the main road into the car park turn left and there s a side entrance on to the field there or if the gate is open turn off the main road and drive up between the motel cafe and the garden centre and that takes you straight into the field see you there works party will be there friday /saturday setting up the track too :p

[dadtc3]

that may be the entrance
will confirm after i have seen harold next monday
he has changed a lot of the entrances over the winter

[dadtc3]

Camping is £5 per night per tent/caravan/shed/whatever you sleep in lol
Entrance is by the right hand side of the Garden Centre and then turn right

JamesJames I would expect it will be the same as Eastrax & Broxtowe, practice from 8 & first heat on line for 10 - 10.30 although somebody from Holbeach might be able to confirm?

If you set off at 4 you'll be ok, just in case you get lost again. :p:thumbsup:

[dadtc3]

[Robbiejuk]

Well i raced in the rain friday night, wasn't to bad :)

Got some wet weather tyres this time so looking forward to giving the X6 a blast again.

Off Roaders do it in the wet :)

[Robbiejuk]

Well it was a shame about the weather stopping play early. The track was nice though, definatly enjoyed the raised sections as they added a great element to the track.

Thanks to all the holbeach crew for putting in the effort, lets hope the weather is better at the next round in the series.

If someone from the club can send me the final results over I will whack up a bit of a report.

[CharlieF]

Hi All who braved the Holbeach weather. Well done because it was a nightmare that just got worse and worse. And thanks Robbie for the vote of thanks - a lot of club members turned out to make the site raceable and without this effort we could not put on a meeting.
As to results Jim will send these in due course. What I can confirm is that results will be based on "best single score from two" with ties decided by the best scoring round time.
So even if you did not score in one run you still have the other to rely on.
Regards.

[Jay-m]

yer was a gd laff (ive only just dried out)
and thanks to all the crew dat helped out made the day nearly possible!

many thanks jay

[Nolan BJ4WE]

[dbizzle5]

Got a couple of short vids today so will post them up later.

[telboy]

Hi all.
Phew, what a day.
Shame the weather closed in as forecast. I was quite happy to run as these car are pretty well waterproof. but the majority voted for ending.
It was getting pretty heavy as we were packing away though.
Impressed with the track though. A lot bumpier than I actually expected, but liked how the track didn't hold the water and didn't form any puddles when it rained. But the layout was good.

Shame I missed the first run. Ametuers mistake of not re-checking the heat listing due to fiddling with the car. So I only got the second run in.

I have a few photos that I will post later. Not many sorry.

[dbizzle5]

Here are the short vids I did. Only heat 4 and heat 5 of round 1 Im afraid as I didnt want my camera to get 2 wet!

Heat 4 http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=mFWr_iUej0U

Not many cos didn't have much time.

Feel free to use if you want Mr Jaques. :)

[Tim Ward]

Nice piccy of my B4, thanks Tel - but not sure I like the grumpy bloke in the big coat!!!

I really enjoyed the day - weather bad but racing and track good!

Roll on the next one!

If anyone fancies a one-off race at a new venue we are looking at a grass venue near Newark for a 'trial run' to see if the demand is there in the area. Sometime in late June perhaps??

PM me if you fancy coming along.

[tom_mb4]

I thought the track was great, shame the meeting was called off, I'm sure it wasn't raining that hard.

[RSharpy]

I thought the track was great, shame the meeting was called off, I'm sure it wasn't raining that hard.Think it was more a case of it being persistant rain. In the last couple of races a couple of speedos went pop so think it was time to call it a day.

Nice one to all involved at Holbeach, much prefer the track where it was closer to the road rather than on the flat stuff further down the field.

Looking forward to the two day event in July :thumbsup:
