Racing this sunday?

[Lee]

Boys and girls,

is there any racing in the north east region this weekend?
My BJ4 is finally in the country after parcelfarces incompetence and ill need some where to race it:D

[jimmy]

Not sure, maybe there is a Bury Metro meeting on ?? or maybe not..
I think we might go to CML Raceway.

[Chris Doughty]

yes Jimmy, go to CML Raceway!!

[Lee]

where is it?
i am in durham so i dont want to have to trek too far for a club meet, especially for a first time out for the car and my first time racing offroad in 10 years:eek:

[jimmy]

CML isn't for you this weekend then! near london. Bury Metro is quite a trek too. don't Teesside run indoors every saturday ? that would be good. York run saturdays too i think.

You bringing the S4 with you chris ? even if you aren't racing it :)

[PaulRotheram]

pictures pictures !

[Lee Martin]

i think that chris should race, i kno hes tempted!

[jimmy]

I'm looking forward to it, hope its dry! :D

[losixxx]

you could always go to the BRCA AGM!!!!!!!

[emzy]

Teesside on Saturday night is good! I *might* go... or I might be snowed under with homework, I haven't decided yet!

[Chris Doughty]

not 100% sure I will be there yet, I REALLY want to go...

I will have my S4 there, mine is a bit of a test mule at the moment though :D

[jim76]

anyone know Lee's email they can PM me? i need to drop him a line about this sunday and i can't get into DoughtyUK at work to get it. :(

[Southwell]

Email PM'd mate.

[jim76]

Ta, job done.

Any one know the list of entries so far? I'm guessing Neil Cragg and Ellis, and possibly CD (you know you want to Chris!), judging from Lee's clues.

I'm going with a few friends from my region who did the F3's
Bathy is going (be good to catch up David)
Jimmy?

who else?

[Southwell]

Me, dougty is a definate, Barton maybe? guessing Rowley, maybe cree, nick goodall definate (blast from the past!!) Lots of top drivers im expecting.

Not 100% but Chris and Nick are definate.

[Nick Goodall]

Craggy, Bradders, Lee (obviously), Barton, Stafford, Doughty, Rowcliffe, Southwell are all people i know will definitely be there, i believe Ellis is racing 4wd though.

Should be a good day, especially as the Weather forecast is looking good (touch wood)!

I'm running an old school B3 so just looking to have some fun really, will be good to see all the others racing though - Ian, any chance you could bring that B3 and parts just in case? :D (Sound confident hey)

Still need to sort it out with you mate!

[jim76]

are all the big guns running 2wd? (crosses fingers as i'm running 4wd!)

[Nick Goodall]

I think all mentioned above are running 2wd, and as said i believe Ellis is racing 4wd....... but i can't promise anything :D

[Chris Doughty]

damn!! its going to be hard work making the A!!!

[jim76]

LOL, you read my mind Chris! But hopefully 4wd will be easier!

you not going to run the S4 to get some track time?

[Chris Doughty]

no, my S4 is being a bit of a development mule at the moment with the body etc...

it will be there for all to have a look at, but bear in mind its not finished

I have not even got my own B4 ready to rip, I am running a borrowed one! :D

[jim76]

sorry, being a pain again!

Has someone got the post code for CML raceway so i can print off streetmaps at work?

sorry for duplicating everything on doughtyuk Jimmy!

[Nick Goodall]

I don't know the postcode, but here's a close up Map showing the A339 - you need to turn off this on to Galley lane (see map)

On this pic, Basingstoke is south, and Newbury is north.

Which direction are you coming from? I can give you detailed directions if you need but it will be sign posted from Galley lane and it's really quite simple

http://www.anything-cars.com/images/uploads/CMLRacewayMAPA.JPG

Edited - may as well put directions!

From Newbury:

Head on the A339 towards Basingstoke, stay on this road and you will enter Headley village (signposted). You'll go past a Restaurant called Amara on the left, then shortly after that is Headey Tyres, Headley bodyshop and Scott's Cars (all on the left). Galley lane is just after these on the Left.

From Basingstoke:

You will go through a village called Kingsclere, but keep heading straight on the A339, you will pass the "Star Inn" on your left, the Road sweeps round to the right and goes straight. Continue on this road and you will get to Cheam School on your left, Galley Lane is shortly after on your Right hand side.


Hope that helps but please PM me if you're unclear at all.

Thanks,

[jim76]

Magic, cheers Nick.
Sorry, i get DoughtyUK at home with no printer, and a printer with no Doughtyuk at work!

looks easy enough, not far from M4

[Nick Goodall]

No it's really easy Jim, just come off the M4 and Jct 13 on to the A34 Southbound, then you just need to take the slip road off for the A339 - then just follow the A339 signs towards Basingstoke and you'll eventually get into Headley.

It's not bad at all - have a good journey down.

[Lee Martin]

nick ur a diamond!

the heat list is on doughty....man the 2wd A will be ace!

[_JP_]

good luck, wish I was able to race.

hope it goes well for you Pidge!

hope Jimmy gets some pics :)

[hickston]

Bury was on and I drove rubbish. I blame the car obviously. All in all there was about 15 drivers there (Richard Taylor putting everyone to shame :-)

Bury is basically running a meeting if there's nothing on elsewhere, ie batley had a meeting a couple of weeks ago so there wasnt supposed to be racing (but a few drivers still turned up to play!!)
