Hello all!

...We will provide an egg per entrant, and hold a quality race day for all...

Dependant upon the number of entries of course! :)

[Kopite]

Will this meeting be cancelled if the rain comes?

[Chrislong]

It never rains in Southport :D

[wacattack]

Think me and the hulk will be there

[Lee]

I have never been to southport, i quite fancy this one now;)

[Markoxx4]

Im on for Southport, never been so can we have directions or a postcode for the satnav?
cheers.

[Chrislong]

Yes it is Victoria Park, Southport, on Rotten Row. If you go along the front with the sea on your right, get to the Bowling and retail park with all the restaurants and keep going, next big roundabout, turn left. Straight over the next roundabout and past Morrisons, then turn right at the next roundabout. You are now on Rotten Row. Drive slowly and keep looking to the right, you'll pass a Chinese and if you see a Caravan park - the track is before the Caravan Park.

Its really easy.

*snort*

I remember at the last National me and Vicky had to rescue a small boy who was almost drowning in a puddle (it was actually up past his knees... and he'd lost a welly!)...

And I remember the year before being sent photos of hail...

And the year before THAT my feet got so sore from the wet I could hardly walk (and so began the era of the flip flops..!)

Never rains in Southport eh!!!

[RLGfx]

I'm looking forward to this one, I've not raced at southport for years (think i was running an MX4 last time, or trying to anyway... my god that car was bad)

I'm hoping my spektrum Rx and Novak brushless all turn up in time!

[bigred5765]

sign matthew up, if theres enough turn up we will run 2wd and 4wd thanks

[Cockerill]

I should be there, looking to run both classes as well.

[PaulRotheram]

The meeting is looking to be a good turnout, we should run rain or shine, as we have all the eggs sorted, and i cant see us cancelling with them in our hands :D

[burgie]

Rotten Row, PR8 2BZ

It only ever rains in Southport when a National is on :cool:, so we should be OK on Sunday!

For full information about the race, log onto www.srcc.co.uk - although there is not much more info than has been posted here!

[Northy]

[PaulRotheram]

[Lee]

Will there be a shop there on sunday?

[bigred5765]

[burgie]

No shop for spares, but as usual a canteen for food & drink...

[PaulRotheram]

Does any one have any checkpoint brushes + springs who will be there on sunday per chance?

[Chrislong]

Yes me, well, I have just brushes anyway. I no longer need these, infact Paul I reckon you should just not bother with them ;) brushless is the future.

But failing that, I'll have 1 pack of new brushes for you.

[PaulRotheram]

lol, i'll have to see if the motor ive bought arrives yet.. i'm sure bank holiday is slowing the arrival down.. along with my bloody tyres for tiv!

Nice one mate, i'll come see you if the motor is here!

[hickston]

Tempted by Southport, but whats the traffic like on a bank holiday weekend?. Wifey doesnt want to sit on the 1 road in and out for a couple of hrs:(

How long is a peice of spaghetti?

Depends which way you come, Ormskirk and Skelmersdale can be a slow moving queueue, but for me I can avoid that by going M61 to Chorley, Euxton Lane, Bretherton, then A59 down to the Coast road and straight to Vicky Perk.

Yeh, I feared them! But I conkered it, when I accidentally ate one and was like "hhhmmm, thats new, whats that? oh a Mushroom!" and then I liked them.

I still fear baked beans though.

[PaulRotheram]

[PaulRotheram]

[Chrislong]

Magic mushrooms :p

[Cockerill]

Nice to see we are still on topic.

Regarding traffic, we left quite early last year expecting there to be quite a bit of traffic, however there was none and we were too early. Doesn't mean it will be the same this year tho...

[gazbaz2]

So, whats the weather going to be like at southport then

Hope everyone had a good day, and look forward to seeing you back soon.

[Markoxx4]

[PaulRotheram]

Them bricks are due to me mended, sorry to hear about your car! That section took quite a beating today, they'l be cemented back in place soon.

[Markoxx4]

If it hadnt of been the bricks it would have been something else!!! Trees, rostrum, people....!!! i hit em' all!

[Chrislong]

Nah Mark, you seem to be improving. Those bricks are harsh and the nose clearance of the Lazer is low, so thats a bad combination.

[tc2k]

So, any results anywhere or at least, who won ;)

[PaulRotheram]

Results will be posted on the clubs site in a few days:
