Default WRCA Regionals - Caldicot's Round - 9th June

Only two weeks until the next round - hopefully the weather will be kind.
Please note that due to logistical issues with the venue there is a location change, which may well help should the weather be slightly inclement.

Caldicot will be temporarily relocating to WORM's astro track
Track details here: http://www.oople.com/forums/showthread.php?t=97053

Timetable for the day is:
09.30 - Booking in opens & Track opens for Free Practice
10.00 - Booking in Closes
10.45 - Free Practice Closes for Driver's Briefing
11.00 - 4 rounds of qualifying with finals start

This will enable the meeting to go ahead as scheduled and I hope that you will agree that the track is well worth the extra travel involved. Apologies in advance to those of you who were looking for a more local race, other options were considered and it was felt that this offered the best option for this round.

Booking in is open on www.wrca.org.uk and a field has now been added for your mobile number - this will enable the organisers to update you regarding any weather issues.

WORM track looks really good, unfortunately i dont think i'll be able to justify the cost of the 320 mile round trip and bridge fees for this one now.

That is the one downside admittedly.

If it helps, you can camp trackside the night before as the site also has basic caravan/camping facilities. £7 per night for tents I believe as the landlord runs that separately. There are 2 pubs and an indian restaurant at the end of the road within easy walking distance of the track too.

If anyone is interested let me know and I'll make sure you have access when you arrive.

Unless people have any objections...the track will be open for practice on the Saturday too...but the regional layout won't be laid until the morning to avoid any unfair advantage on the day.

Maybe the chance to get some extra free track time, and a night away in Weston before hand will help make it a little more worthwhile?

FYI...The WORM club will be promoting this meeting to it's regulars as well to help with numbers on the day, but they will be run in separate heats to the Welsh regional heats so they don't impact on the WRCA series results.

Hopefully this is ok

Andy, may be worth posting a timetable, like what time the track opens, booking in, practice, first heat. People can then work out what time they will need to leave. Also, is there power available in the pits?

I'm back!!!!!

Andy can you book Reg and myself in both 4wd!!!

I'm not happy about having to travel 30min at all.

I'm more used to a 3hours plus drive for a national. It gives me and reg male bonding time.

To compensate for this we will be driving via Coventry.

lots of love axeman
