Make sure you have petrol (or whatever fuel it is you'll be running).

Seems obvious doesn't it, not so for one of our lot last year who had to battle out of the huge incoming crowd to get fuel then come back again.... :eye:

We had 10 places but some people are unable to send things in on time so we lost one, I'm hoping to get it back but we have 10 MR2s there so it's not all bad.

Next year there will be 2 deadlines, mine and the organisers, mine will be a month earlier in the hope that people learn how to send things on time and use recorded delivery ;)

Ignore the power figures, I've supplied more accurate estimations for the MR2s and the other teams are mainly guesses.

Should be fun ;) I reckon we can make quite an impact on the RWD class :thumleft:

I was going to say.... the word lambs + slaughter spring to mind!

I for one am really looking forward to it. Just praying for decent weather!

Unlikely but the strip does have a frusrating dip that turns into a river when it rains.

It's going to be sunny anyway, think positive ;)

Forcast isn't bad on that site for the next seven days. Saturday looks to be dry but slightly cloudy, and Sunday is forcast scattered showers in the morning, but dry from there on. :D

Guys, i think it would be a good idea to put up specs and power figures (or estimated figures) so members can get more of an idea of what chance we have this year.

Ill do mine... later.
