Weather for Sunday
 

Hi Stuart, i've been checking out the weather forecast for this week and Sunday.

Yesterday at Southport the field were we pit had large areas which were flooded and unusable, fortunatly there were still large areas we could pit on and the track was perfect, so the day worked out very well.

It's a long way for us guys to travel from SRCC so can you confirm if the track is grass only or a combination of surfaces?
How is the track looking now in respect of the recent heavy rain and can you give me an realistic idea what you think the track will be like for Sunday, E.G muddy or can it handle the rain well?

Any info would be appreciated.

Tommy

The lottery numbers for Wedensday would also be usefull :-)

tried to use google maps without success

If you put 54.326657, -2.738592 into google it takes you to the waste recycling centre entrance. I presume it’s by the car park next to it. Can someone from South Lakes confirm this.

Hi guys there is a car park next to the field for parking if required . If you do use this please DO NOT JUMP THE FENCE PLEASE . The ground is ok after rain it drains well. We have been dropped in it at the last minute with our other venue we are making a bit effort to make the area ready for sunday starting friday morning . It is a full grass track that we will be racing on with jumps and a grass bank to play on . As has happened before its likely we are going to have some rain as we are in Cumbria after all (i do hope not tho) . There is a post on the north west pages with the google info . Ill try and post up some photos on friday night if possible .

Do you need your own PT or are there any on loan:confused:

I think I remember Stu saying they will be available for all rounds... best wait for confirmation though :D

We do have hand out transponders to people to use . Please bring them back after each round tho thanks .:thumbsup:

Stuart, can you advise if we will be able to buy refreshments at the track on Sunday, or do we need to take our own?

We have got a burger van coming on Sunday, and town is a 5 min walk so you should be ok.

What tyres are going to work? Yellow minispikes:confused:

I would bring anything that's got a spike or rib just in case schumacher yellows for the dry and greens and ballistic buggy greens if it's damp . full spikes mite be a option as well weather depending .

whats the forcast up there for sunday, all sites online are different outcomes

Sunday is looking good at the mo

any update on the track condition or pics??

Theres some picks on our facebook page im up loading now .

Looks great guys. :) looks like its been a lot of hard work:cry:, I'm sure its going to be a great day tomorrow. Cant wait!

Looking good guys for short notice on the New venue, fingers crossed for good weather for us all.

Right guys 2 people have been on the track running there cars this evening by a club member who lives round the corner .Please do not use the track other wise if your seen running on it im told you will lose you ftq . Also you are trespassing as well. We have worked very hard over the last 2 days on the land and track and do not want to lose this place as well . AGIAN DO NOT JUMP THE FENCE its not ours it belongs to the ski slope and they helped out by letting us use there car park . Any issues please see my self Stuart Jones or Tom Jenner

it it ok to just turn up tomorrow :thumbsup:

I've just realised I don't have a transponder for tomorrow.

Do you have handouts or can someone lend me one?

Check out #12 of this thread :thumbsup:

Driving the track day before the regional
 

This should be a black flag offence!
Even if they say they were not aware it was not allowed, they were knowingly gaining an unfair advantage. They now have the tyres sorted, and the lines etc. They should be dealt with.

Hi,

I've noticed my name isn't on the list...I'll be there tomorrow..

Here...Here.

Entry to a meeting is always at the Race Directors discretion - show sneaky cheats the door (or gate in case of outdoors in a field). :p

Anyway guys, pictures look good, well done on getting sorted out at short notice.

I'm in Windermere tonight, Weather is clear & dry.
Any idea what time it's kicking off tomorrow? I've not seen any mention of time.

Hopefully it should be a good day!

Gates open at 8 booking in 8.30 9.15 racing at 9.30 if all goes to plan

Windermere, Sun is out & no rain for a change

Well done lads! :thumbsup: Great day today, and the track was fantastic for such short notice. Give yourselves a pat on the back!:)

Also well done Ian, coming second in the A.:thumbsup::thumbsup::thumbsup::thumbsup:

how did you get on james

Qualified an amazing 2nd behind super Stu Wood (best ever qulifying position for me at a regional!) and finished up in 3rd overall :woot::)

Well done buddy you must have been flying:D

Great day! Well run and always good to catch up with the rest of the NW.

big thanks from all at southlakes to all that turned up today , was a great day all round, with some gud close racing

SL organisers,
Very well done under difficult circumstances. A lot of thanks for all the effort.
Understandably the track struggled initially, but after a couple of rounds we had a typical grass track, and thats a nice change from synthetics when the weather is kind to us.
I hope you guys continue to host regionals. Helpful friendly people, nice part of the Country; thanks again.

think the track really leveled things out with 11/12 lap rounds made it very close, track was more of a challenge than i expected and dug up by the last round and finals.
