with any of the license issues it is best to give pod a ring.
the paper part is all you need IIRC.

not sure about the race licence - comon sense say it should be ok, but check to be on the safe side.

can't wait to see you all there - i will be running th SC on the strip i think.

yeah - tango got onto one of their website pics under the clubs photo bit :mrgreen:

porl" - yes it £15 to get into pod, but have a go with you MK1 - you will love it! there are not many mk1's running so you could be in with a chance of a trophy

Tim: Tom won't take up my challenge :( bring on the SC battle :twisted:

Hi,
Same question really,

Does anyone have any idea what the queue will be like on Saturday, and what time does everyone start down the strip.

Would like to get there early, but have a long way to travel (like a 5 am start I think at least), so any heads up would be great.

Cheers

On the Saturday it's normally a very relaxed day and very quiet - I probably won't get there until late morning and expect to get loads of runs!

I aim to get there for 9am.
the strip usually opens at 9am too - so you have plenty of time for runs. I am hoping it will be quieter, but not chancing it so will start early.

Our club stand is on the grass on the right side of the road just before the strip
